The National House of Prayer has set Sunday, July 24th 2016 as the day for national prayers for peaceful elections.
Chairperson of the Advisory Board of the National House of Prayers Joshua Banda also says the Lusaka Showgrounds has been earmarked as the venue for the prayers.
Bishop Banda has also told ZNBC News that the board has since written to all political party leaders inviting them and their nominated aspirants for elective office to attend the prayers.
He has urged Zambians to turn out in numbers and pray for the sustenance of peace that the country has continued to enjoy since independence.
President Edgar Lungu last Sunday in Siavonga appealed to the Church to convene a national to pray for peaceful elections, following a spate of politically motivated attacks in the run up to the August 11th general elections.
This thing is politicised. Why writing to political party leaders instead of church leaders
It is about time. Bring me your burdens and i will give you rest-Matthew 11:28
The Level of hypocrisy in zambia is alarming it is good to be prayerful but stopping political violence must be done by political leadership. When you have leaders distributing money to known crooks and leaders encouraging cadres to fight back and police firing live bullets on protesters thats clearly an issue of leadership failure. This violence can be stopped if there is political will stop hodwinking people with prayers in the day when you are planning to attack your opponents at night.
You can have national prayers everyday but if your mentality is still third world nothing will change!
Lekeni ubututu, corruption and choosing worthless people as your leaders. To think that there are people considering wife beater, insulter GBM as a leader is appalling!
But these are the same Bishops who belong to Lungu cult called “christians for Lungu”.Lungu did not die for any person for the salvation of man.(Bishop Banda.BIGOCA Bishop Njovu are all members of this cult-christians for Lungu and they meet every Sunday afternoon at State House-others are Pastor Honto Mwale,Bishop White Chama and wife etc.
When you just think we’ve reached a pinnacle of dunderheadism as a nation then something more worse than dunderheadism comes up with a call for ” national prayers” when the architect of terrorism is right in the mix of organising and carelessly inciting his vigilante to take charge of policing. Perpetrators of terror are within the docile police. Then an ex-priest in the name of bwalya comes up with a wild and childish sentiment that UPND killed their own supporter. Where on earth do we harvest such hatred to an extent of killing an innocent soul trying to exercise her democratic right of belonging to a party of her choice?
This is a clear example of what religion does to you….it does not give answers. It stops you from asking questions; why? Lazy Lungu and stinking c*ckroaches like Joshua Banda are taking full advantage.
Wake up from your Docility People!!
UMMMMMMMMMH!!! Zambian “Utukunkubiti Clergy”, honestly YOU WANT TO PRAY FOR THE KILLER instead of CONDEMNING HIM WAY BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF PRAYING FOR HIM????
SO National Day of PRAY FOR THE KILLER & HIS THUGS – Zambians, ARE REALLY MAD????? HAVE We NO EARS & EYES????
THIS KILLER HAS REFUSED TO APOLOGISE except say he is sad for himself after Killing a so called FRIEND’s DAUGHTER – you see how evil backfires – HE IS EVEN AFRAID TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL HOUSE!!
Those that want to pray with the DEVIL for THE DEVIL are certainly free to go & join them!!
Vote ZAMBIA FORWARD!!
Vote WISELY 11/8/2016!!
VOTE UPND!!
Abantu baya!!
#Chagwamustfall!! #pamaFikuyabebele!!
I thank you!!
PF promised that next national prayers will be held at The TABLENACLE OF ALL NATIONS, and your Edgar Lungu, did the ground breaking ceremony. Money was raised.
Where is that church building? SONTAPO!!
Everything under PF in reverse!!
MAPENZI…
Another scheme for stealing public resources. This is really mocking Christianity at its best, first kill and then call for some form of national prayers through hired pastors and prophets. How, sad that this is being entertained by some poor souls.
MOCKING GOD AT ITS PEAK! I FEEL LIKE VOMITING WHEN LUNGU TALKS OF PRAYING WHEN HE IS ACTUALLY A MURDERER WHO HAS INTRODUCED CONFUSION IN OUR COUNTRY, PRETENDING TO BE GODLY BUT DENYING THE POWERS THERE OF. THIS GUY LUNGU IS CURSED. LUNGU IS ANTICHRIST. WE HAVE HYPOCRITES EVEN IN OUR TIME TODAY, AND LUNGU TOGETHER WITH THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS FOR LUNGU ARE THE DANGEROUS HYPOCRITES WHO SHOULD NOT BE LISTENED TO. DON’T GO FOR THOSE SO CALLED PRAYERS FOR THEY ARE JUST BUT A MOCKERY TO GOD.
I hope we are not politically abusing the Word of God & Prayer in Zambia.
My appeal to Church leaders who have the opportunity to call on National Prayers, Please be careful when and why you are making these programs.
The Bible says ‘the devil will come to you like an Angel of Light/truth’ and after doing his thing will leave you divided and frustrated.
Why do I say so. We have already head of people saying many things others say who ever will not come is a Satanist and the like, so what will be the result if such happens.
I hope all the leaders will take it the way it sounds because at the moment in Zambia, the declaration of Christianity did not mean that all the Political leaders became Saved Christians because they still need the word of God to understand these programs.
See…
ATI the National house of prayer,what is this nosense about the so called national house of prayer. Dont we have Church mother bodies who can call for this prayer day.I as well informed citizen of zambia shall pray with my familly in my house for god to remove this hypocrite in the name Chagwa Lungu. I will not go to show grounds and waste time.
This is a joke of weak leadership. 24 July is a Sunday and most people go to church anyway. The people behind this are just hoodwinking Zambians for political mileage.
I hope the other political parties shun. Go to your own churches and support your congregations. No need for wasteful grandstanding.
You are free not to attend we meno yakapombo. However, you will be surprised that your leader HH will attend this time around, because he is slowly coming to his senses and sees the need for God’s intervention.
Is Christians for lungu, house of prayer a registered church mother body, did Joshua banda consult other churches and political parties before coming up with this date, OK since it’s National prayers, I URGE UPND TO GO AND DO THEIR’S ON THE COPPERBELT, same day, same time.
Why have the elect chosen to be deceived? Have they lost the spirit of discernment?
I will take a break from church if my Pastor goes to dine with Lu(ngu)cifer.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
is mumbi phiri first lady as in the picture above
Typical of this utterly Lazy Bum Edgar, instead of letting the relevant bodies operate independently he would rather go and cheat the docile masses by going for another National House of Prayer…a clear evident of LAMENTABLY FAILURE in Leadership by this Bum Lungu.
This is s complete waste of time and resources. These satanist Bishops should just ask Chakolwa Chagwa to stop the violence. PF’s violence has nothing to do with God. Chakolwa has his murder squad operators, Max Chongo and Kakoma Kanganja, who are armed with instructions to kill opposition members. Please don’t go to these prayers in case Chakolwa sacrifices you on the day. Lungu is bloodthirsty. He is a mass murderer.
I thought this President had image builders or is that hot air from the media?
Viva EL! Again u r showing good leadership by asking the church to bring these unruly pipo to repent. Pipo like gbv needs God. We praise u yo excellence. Ka HH needs to open his heart to Jesus!!!
Wilz, if you blog like this, all the little satanic tsunami cadres will give u a negative vote
@ Jackass banda
And all worshipers of CONVICTED EMBEZZLER ANTICHRIST will again sing praise to him in company of CONVICTED RAPIST!!!
sound like you and I need the Lord more than everybody else muune! Faith is personal matter of personal concern and the moment you raise your eyes else where thinking they worse than you are you fail!
Maintaining law and peace is a matter for state organs. Not God! Lungu should be jailed for this evasive incompetent rubbish
God only blesses the work of the hands ?. Can somebody tell me what is Edgar chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu’s hands doing in stoping violence? Cursed is the day this Chakolwa,a drunkard and a handcore criminal was born.
God only blesses the work of the hands ?. Can somebody tell me what is Edgar chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu’s hands doing in stoping violence? Cursed is the day this Chakolwa,a drunkard and a handcore criminal was born.
The little shetani has spoken
And worshiper of CONVICTED EMBEZZLER Jackass banda has crapped agai
We pray for things that are beyond our means. This is like praying for Nshima from God yet you don’t want to cook.
When you pray, go to your room and close the door. Your father who see in secret will answer you publicly. Shame on all you hypocrites, pharises who will go and make prayer a show off event.
Open your eyes, the perpetrator of violence is in your midst.
Mocking God Edgar chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu take your stupidity somewhere.
The much publicised National day prayers of Oct 2015 all came to NOTHING because of HYPOCRISY. Expect more of the same this time
Has this Chakolwa even paid back the poor widows he was stealing money from because this is what zachaeus from the bible did when he repented,let him come in the open and say I have paid back three times than I stole from this widow by doing so I will truly believe he has changed not umungulu mu Church.
Its a good program, but not to condemn or demonize those who may not wish to attend.
It must be agreed that this event will not be referred to as a punishment or campaign tool against those who do not want to attend.
Your role as a church ends at inviting all and praying for those who will attend and those who will not.
Lets bear in mind that this is a divine call and any ill or selfish intentions could highly attract the wrath of God both as a group and individuals. I urge you therefore brothers and sisters to be careful as individuals and groups. Conscience is your witness.
ECL has not appeared or shown his leadership when Zambians were expecting his guidance.
But when it comes to stupidity he is the forefront, I mean, he is using this opportunity to show that he is a leader. I doubt any of the opposition leader would fall into this trap. We all know what will follow once the opposition refuse to attend.
Where was ECL on Friday, 8th
SONTAPO EPO WABOMBA = Mapenzi !!!!
Mapenzi was killed by the upnd cadres who carried guns. Hh has Mapenzi blood in his hands. Anyway he is sacrificing
jackass banda, go and suck Antichrist d1ck you 1mbecile
It is a waste of time. Let the PF and their corrupted Pastors conduct the prayer and pray for rain in July. We know Lungu has no congregation, thats the only time he can hoodwink the naive masses. All opposition parties must unite and categorically decline. They shouldnt fear that people will think they are anti-christ.
They should not allow themselves to be pawns in Lungu’s chess game. LUNGU IS PLAYINNG THE HUMBLE GODLY GAME. Its time he is checkmated.
Some of the most richest and peaceful countries around the world are more or less atheistic nations.Zambia needs hard working and pragmatic citizens more than prayers.
National day of prayer to the god of deception, corruption and violence.
Second from left in the picture, the necktie was not properly udjusted mmmmm eya muletusebanya tata or is bashimapepo?
Lungu should stop using God’s name to get votes when that UPND girl was shot dead the so called Bishop Banda has been quiet please opposition parties do not go there this is all political.
Prayers without action are futile. After UPND supporters were shot and murdered did ECL, Joshua Banda and his pastors condemn these shootings and killings? They did not. Instead ECL directed the IG to deal severely with Opposition supporters. Well ECL should be happy that Kanganja carried out his directive as 3 UPND supporters were shot and Mapenzi Chibulo was murdered in cold blood. Only none Christians will believe that Lungu is Godfearing becoz his actions speak like the Devil himself masquerading as an Angel. Note 2 Corinthians 11:14:15 ” “No wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an Angel of light. It is no great thing therefore if his Pastors masquerade as servants righteousness whose end will be according to their works”.
You mean Joshua Banda, the flamboyant dressed Pastor condemning the State Police, the **** who is on Lungu’s payroll…that’s wishful thinking!!
Why not just call it national phuck god day. Fake pastors, fake piety, fake choirs, women cadres that were being phucked the previous night by cadres doing dununa reverse, Mumbi Phiri claiming that after sucking dick she’s a saint. Just curse god or leave him out of your blasphemous act.
ABa Abena Bishop Lungu and president Lungu (Lungu vs Lungu)Mpezeni mapias ba tushupa aba.Zambians open your eyes before lungu metamorphoses into a full brown dictator.The power is in your vote.Chengeleni bane tomorrow it will be your child killed.
plese ba joshua wat is it that u stand for wy have u sod yo life to the devil coz of money,u have completely failed to manage yo church ad yo sucking tax payes money thru the so called house of prayer,God is surely watching 1day u will see that the power of God 4 he can surely be mocked the way u are doing wen u truly know that pf ad yo lungu are the cause of the violence BT u ignore ad call 4the so called prayer which doesn’t even bear results because u prayer to your god.God will surely punish and 1 day he will set us from u pastors of evil intentions for our ad wy even asking 4 prayers wen yo so called president pretends to ask 4 it if u had good intentions for prayers shame upon u bishop wabufi
Just the name Joshua Banda is enough to tell people that this is another PF campaign event.The man is nothing but a RB and ECL cadre.Ask Nervus Mumba or Miles Sampa ?
I hope they will not drag the old man KK in to legitimize the treachery.
Lets prays that PF falls from power and Zambians can see the dark side of these selfish politicians.
Lungu and your thugs stop mocking God. It is dangerous to mock God when you know that you are not serous just eye and lip service. God is watching all your evil steps. How many prayers have we had since you came in power but violence is escalating? Prayer is important if you mean what you are saying but this is mockery.
My advice to those opposition parties who will not attend is to avoid making any comment, at all cost, to make it hard for PF make political capital out of the same unholy gathering. Please take my advice!
Guys deal with your shetani president called HH who bought guns and gave them to his cadres. HH is an evil guy and worse enough is the running mate called gbv.
And you are worshiper of CONVICTED EMBEZZLER ANICHRIST!!!
Not Joshua Banda. The one who ensured that MMD was completely dead. people of Zambia have never ceased to pray for peace in this country. But they do so in their homes and their own congregations. They don’t need politically motivated national day of prayer by Men Of Gold.
That is true! Very true!
Opposition Party Leaders should go to their respective churches and stay away from these Satanic prayers. Let Lungu and his “Christian Friends” go and celebrate the shooting of UPND supporters and the murder of Mapenzi Chibulo at the said prayer meeting.This is election campaign time and Lungu should go out and campaign for votes. We all know that Lungu is arming and financing PF thugs to commit acts of violence and murders on Opposition supporters. Thru these prayers Lungu wants to sanitise his violent activities. On 11th August we are voting out this hypocrite, thief,thug, murderer and devil incarnate called ECL. Forward with HH and Team UPND.
Politicians and preacher men all read from the same script, the politician promises you a good life if you vote for him tomorrow. While the preacher promises you a good life after you die.
From the time zambia was declared a Christian nation can anyone please tell me what has improved or simply said what has God done for Zambia. The most religious people in zambia are the poorest from my observations.
Again the hard core cadres in zambia are the poorest. Politics and religion just divides us and make the people even dull and lazy.
For once let’s believe in ourselves as humans and stop thinking our problems, or poverty will be sorted out by God or politicians.
When crying “wolf” gets out of hand! Are you sure He is even listening?
Religion at its best..the opium of the masses. Lungu calls for a day of national prayer ! !
MOCKING GOD AT ITS PEAK! I FEEL LIKE VOMITING WHEN LUNGU TALKS OF PRAYING WHEN HE IS ACTUALLY A MURDERER WHO HAS INTRODUCED CONFUSION IN OUR COUNTRY, PRETENDING TO BE GODLY BUT DENYING THE POWERS THERE OF. THIS GUY LUNGU IS CURSED. LUNGU IS ANTICHRIST. WE HAVE HYPOCRITES EVEN IN OUR TIME TODAY, AND LUNGU TOGETHER WITH THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS FOR LUNGU ARE THE DANGEROUS HYPOCRITES WHO SHOULD NOT BE LISTENED TO. DON’T GO FOR THOSE SO CALLED PRAYERS FOR THEY ARE JUST BUT A MOCKERY TO GOD.
WARNING: THOSE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE PRAYING TO GOD ALMIGHTY, THEY WILL BE PRAYING TO THEIR god THE DEVIL FOR MORE BLOOD TO BE SPILLED. WATCH THE PACE, SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER THOSE PRAYERS.
BLOOD-THIRSTY VAMPIRES WILL BE GATHERING ONCE AGAIN ON SUNDAY TO PRAY TO THEIR FATHER OF ALL LIES FOR MORE INNOCENT BLOOD TO BE SPILLED. WATCH THE PACE AND SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER THESE SO-CALLED PRAYERS. LUNGU IS A CURSE TO ZAMBIA. LET US UNITE OUR VOTES AND VOTE FOR A CHANGE WHICH WILL MAKE ZAMBIA A BETTER PLACE TO BE. VOTE FOR HH AND THE UPND TEAM.
After saying amen, they are still going to be violence unless the root cause is dealt with.From selfsame observation this situation has been building up.This escalation has a face of desperation written all over on all sides.This selfsame desperation is compounded by the fact that the 50% +1 has no clear winner since the mathematics on both sides of the major beauty contestants (Kambwili Vs GBM) is not selfsame clear.You lazy bu3m commentators and cadres can not confidently state which party will win.This uncertainty is feeding on desperation and building the tension never experienced before .This is my sociological observation
I thank you very much
When David sinned by taking another man’s wife & got him killed, the Prophet Nathan went to scold him & made him open his eyes to the evil he had committed & hence made him repent.
Our Church leaders should stop this boot-licking habit of hero-worshiping presidents. Prophet Banda does not have the guts to tell Edgar Lungu that his perpetuating violence & killing of a small girl is sinful, wrong & plain evil. The Church will soon lose its relevance because of such stances.
Look at how the church stood by KK for 27 years he misruled & oppressed Zambians.
Look at how the church stood by FTJ even when he was stealing & sleeping with another man’s wife.
Be like Desmond Tutu who fought apartheid with resolve & courage. He still openly scolds Zuma without hesitation.
Glory to God. We are a Christian Nation & we have a Christian President. This is a lethal combination against Satan’s kingdom & plan. Our foundation is Jesus Christ. We need a nation united in prayer. We can all see the fruits of 18 October National Prayers; we have bumper harvest in midst of regional food disaster, respite in load shedding, stabilisation of economy etc. The Bible says “For what this world considers to be wisdom is nonsense in God’s sight. No one, then should boast about what human beings can do.” 1Cor3:18-21(GNB). God Bless Zambia!
Which bumper harvest when meal meal is costing k85 in Jully what will it cost in December with IMF policies?Stop mocking God bakabolala.
What’s the President’s congregations? Charity begins at home.
All you have to do is research. You look but you can’t see, you hear but you can’t listen. Bloomberg reported this week that national disasters have been declared in Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. We should thank God that we are buying Millie meal @ K76 (not K85). Zambian Millie meal is more than 100% that price in our neighbours. We thank God that he answered our prayers. No matter what I say some of you have chosen to be in denial. Approaching God for Devine intervention can’t be mockery my friend. That is what we Christians in a Christian Nation do. God Bless Zambia!
@chosen one
The correct way to approach God is in our homes and at church or any secret place. Hosting huge public prayers is Hypocritical and pharisitical. Mat 6:6
The Pharisees like doing it publicly and were rebuked by Jesus Christ.
Just encourage those Pastors to pray for Peace from their houses and churches.
@Purple these are national prayers & not private prayers. Don’t confuse straight forward things. Even in Church we have corporate prayers in which the whole Church joins. Imagine how confused the devil is when the nation is now united in prayer! Awesome! “On 24th day of the same month the people of Israel assembled to fast in order to show sorrow for their sins” Neh9:1GNB. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” 2Chron7:14. God Bless Zambia!
more weed
more inspiration
more money
WITH NO ILL INTENTIONS, WHICH CHURCH DOES HIS EXCELLENCY ECL GO TO?
Its strange how people hate anything to do with prayers. God will always answer prayers according to the condition of the heart of the person praying. If you think the people who have called for prayers are wicked, you have two options either don’t attend or attend believing God to first touch the people you think are wicked.Also those who think they don’t need God’s intervention in the running of the affairs of the nation, should take a lesson from what happened when we prayed for the rains. Whilst neighboring countries were badly elninoed, God favored us with rains for bumper harvest so a call to prayer when faced with a challenge as a nation is just right. Prayer will stop blood suckers or human sacrificers. Jesus is Lord Over Zambia!
MATTHEW 24….TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVES YOU, FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME AND WILL DECEIVE MANY. LOOK AT THE MAJORITY OF THE SO CALLED MEN OF GOD SPEAR HEADING THE WHOLE THING, THEY ARE FROM WHICH CHURCHES????
I prayed on Friday 8th July 2016. and God will answer my prayer . God almighty will not let the injustice in the killing of Mapenzi go unpunished. Whoever has a hand in it will NEVER know peace . Amen
‘Ukuukutumpa kwachilamo’ Busy inciting. Violence and later reappearing as a saint . Shameless hypocrite. People should consider what will happen to the country if this drunkard is given 5 years .Its not about alternatives,its about removing this dictator out
ECL ,IG ( entire Zambia Police Force ) and PF should come out in open and repent for the violence, injustice ,corruption and failing economy.
HH has called for the nation to participate in BLACK FRIDAY.
The clergy has called for a NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER.
As a christian i am thinking we have so many jokers who we are trying to push into or maintain in power. We should stop counting on most of these leaders to make changes in our lives, let us as individuals work on bettering our lives in our small ways. We need a renewed mind set if we are to move as a nation.
BLACK FRIDAY TO MOURN AND REMEMBER OUR DEPARTED COLLEAGUES.
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR PF CADRE JOSHUA BANDA TO ENDORSE ECL
I DONT SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT SO CALLED NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER WHEN THE CLERGY THEMSELVES TAKE SIDES. PRAYERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE INDEPENDENTLY BY THE SET UP DENOMINATIONS AND NOT SHOW GROUND. PLEASE BA BISHOP BANDA YOU MUST BE SENSITIVE. WHICH GOD WILL HEAR YOU WHEN IN YOUR HEART YOU HAVE A KILLER AND HIS TEAM AT HEART TO WIN AND OTHERS WITHIN YOUR GROUP WANTS SOMEONE TO WIN.
GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO A DIVIDED NATION AND A DIVIDED SPIRITUAL LEADERS. STOP IT, STOP IT.
The Drunk squatting in State House is too inebriated, to just direct his “Goon Storm troopers” to stop terrorising & killing innocent citizens.
When not being drunk, he’s busy concentrating on adultery
What will happen is clearly stated in the book of 1 Kings 18:22-29. No further observations your honour.
“Nalibasoka sana ba kapokola ati ba ntumpa sana ba oposition bombelenipo”next Mapezi killed then after National house of prayers”Bishop Joshuor Banda call for national prayers fi bena zambia fyala labako.So Edgar you think you are clever.No no you wont get get away with this.
Fake prophets are just like MTN.. Everywhere you go!
HYPOCRITES!
THIS IS A MOCKERY THOSE IN THE FOREFRONT ARE THE ONES INSTIGATING VIOLENCE AND NOW ASKING FOR PRAYERS. YOU ARE FORTUNATE YOU DO NOT LIVE IN THE OLDEN DAYS WHEN GOD USED TO SLAUGHTER LIARS LIKE YOU WHILE THE LIES WERE STILL IN THEIR MOUTHS. DO NOT TEMPT GOD TO MET OUT JUDGEMENT OF YOU PLAYING WITH HIS WORD.
HH and gbv are the greatest hypocrites ever on Zambia’s political scene
Write to church leaders, and ask them to invite their flock which includes political leaders. Stop politics, you clergy people who enjoy being on TV instead of bringing salvation to people
UPND is waiting for that day to come and will see like bakakwila imbwa because inside them and tribal inner element amongst southerners is still there and feel it is their time to rule and many fools do not know about this today. They are silent and knew that they cannot win without other provinces and pretend that we are one, never. You have not known their true colour wait and see, and shall keep this copy.
The shooting of the lady, Mapenzi Chibulo on Friday, the brutal murder of Grayzer Matapa, attempts to assassinate president Hichilema at a radio station in Ndola, the hacking of UPND members for wearing party regalia, terrorist attacks of UDF leader Miles Sampa, attacks on campaign helicopter in Shiwangandu, attack on The Post journalist who exposed the registration of foreigners as voters in Eastern Province. All these incidents happened under President Lungu’s hands and so one does not need to further explain and conclude that Zambia has become a failed state.”
I would rather listen to LAZ than these crooks calling themselves men of God. If you know the person who is supposed to maintain peace and order why not tell that person instead of going round and round. We had a national prayer day where we saw doves, what happened to those prayers? These are just politics and please leave God out of this nonsense.
The usual suspects making a call to prayer!!! How can we go with a prayerful mood when hurting inside? I don’t think I can close my eyes while seated next to some of these chaps. So why go and pretend! I’ll pray peacefully at home. I wish they would let the church mother bodies to organize such events. That is their business.
THIS IS THE VERY BEST OPPROTUNITY FOR BISHOP BANDA TO LAY HANDS ON HH AND BAPTISE HIM WITH WATER EVEN IF HE DID NOT DO BAPTSIM CLASS AS LONG AS HE IS BAPTISED FOR THE SAKE OF HER LIFE PRESERVATION.

If these prayers were genuine, the clergy should have called all leaders in the Church to a day of prayer without inviting politicians. As men of God they have the call of God to pray for the nation. Its not numbers but, the bible says the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. There are some people who perceive some Church Leaders as agents of the President. That is why some people wont attend. And the others view this as a political ploy to paint those who will not attend as not being Christians. The truth is many today have lost trust in most clergy and therefore the clergy have lost the moral authority of neutral peace makers or brokers. They only rise to the occasion when its the president who calls for prayers. They cant out of their own volition act. This call of…
This latest call for prayers is coming from the political appointees of one of the contenders in this years’ elections( the board members of the National House of Prayer). They are therefore seen as only serving the interest of their Master, the President.
God is busy with real issues in South Sudan, Middle East, Libya, USA, etc. Our prayers were answered the last time we presented this very problem to him – He told our politicians to tame their tongues as they address each other. But our leaders have opted to be of faith without actions. As it is, these prayers are a mockery to God.
It’s like Pavlov’s Dog for too many Zambians – they hear the word “Prayer’ and they instantly fall to their knees. How can the one person fomenting discord in the nation be asking for prayers for peace? Consider the source.
Doing the right thing the wrong way. We hope that this National House of Prayer and The Christians For Lungu, will continue their initiatives after the PF is voted out of government (God willing!). We will pray in our respective congregations as we ALWAYS do every Sunday. What HH called for was a reconciliation meeting, specifically with president Lungu. His written requests have been ignored and he has implored the respected and recognised church mother bodies to intervene. You can’t pray with someone you believe is a killer (both PF and UPND believe the other is the violent party etc) Thus, neutral and respected religious leaders would suffice, not this committee of self-seeking gentlemen. My opinion.
Ukupesha lunshi kunya pabili, i urge UPND to go and hold a similar event on the same date at another venue, since it’s National day of prayer, inga bashupa shift the event to Copperbelt, same day.
First of all I just want to say I love God and I pray and try to follow his word. I am not a saint and may forget to pray or not go to church every Sunday but God is always on my mind and in my heart everyday. Its time we stopped using God’s name in politics. God helps those who help themselves too and the reason he made us the way he did. Its sad now that politicians have turned to prayer day, prayer this and that to run away from responsibilities. God will not fix our economy but we have to have the right people in place to do that. God might give you the task of doing the job but if you mock him and his people you are finished. So lets stop the Façade.
Hopefuly you are not asking for people to pray for your sicknesses especially you lucifer bwalya
God bless Zambia!
Here in Zambia people just talk nonsense on the things of God. how can a normal thinking person insult a man of GOD just because of politics. Let me assure you and mark my words; UPND will not win and everyone talking and writing nonsense on the workers of GOD, starting today your lives will never be at peace until you GO to the same GOD and ask for forgiveness AMEN.
In less than one month from today, Zambia will have a new government. I pray that Zambians vote in a new capable president. It is now time for Zambians to change the direction of their country. Either continue with Edgar Chagwa Lungu (ECL) and consign the country to indefinite economic crises, political pettiness, and governance shambles or choose the path of the opposition, to salvage the country and reposition it onto a path of socio-political and economic sustainability.
The control and influence of the ruling party and ECL over the PF party’s foot soldiers is non-existent. Patriotic Front or more accurately, Putrid Force under ECL, is improving its political standards towards those of Museveni’s Uganda or even Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. The standards that PF has copied reflect…
In His Word the Lord says
“Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.”
There is need for prayers before we become a desolation
