  2. Some is scared of the National day of prayer. Did he go to the village again? We need to cast out the demon that scares him away from such events. How do you entertain Neyo but fail to go to church.

  3. “Close your eyes and let us pray, when we opened our eyes, we had the bible and they had the land” Desmond Tutu.
    Amazing how the African has embraced this even more than the guys that brought it to them.
    So, stop using religion to get votes. All the fasting and prayers will not develop the nation, hard work will.
    I believe it says “God helps those that help themselves”.

  7. How is the success of this same day measured? All I have seen so far is the marking of the register of which politician attended and who did not. This day has come and go with no sign of reconciliations anywhere, and it will routinely come again next year.

  8. A mockery. God shall forgive them if Kaiza Zulu and HH can give the money the stole from Zambians back to Zambians.
