Pastor takes wife to court over Ministry ownership

Share

BARAK Ministries International President Godfrey Mhusambazi has dragged his wife who is also a prophetess in the same church to court seeking an order that he be allowed to continue enjoying emoluments from the church.

Apostle Mhusambazi has sued prophetess Elfrida Mhusambazi who is also the vice president of their church demanding that he be declared the only constitutional president of Barak Ministries International and as such, he should continue receiving his entitlements.

Mr Mhusambazi also wants the court to order that he be paid damages for loss of emoluments, costs and other relief it might deem fit.

He has contended that as a president of the church, he was entitled to among other things accommodation, food, salary and other benefits.

Mr Mhusambazi of Salama park, New Avondale who sued prophetess Elfrida in her capacity as vice president of the church stated in his affidavit in support of his originating notice of summons that he has commenced the action because he was among other things seeking an order to quash the prophetess’s decision to deny him his entitlements as president and shareholder of the church.

He said that prophetess Elfrida has misconstrued his resignation as Overseer to that of president of Barak ministries international when in fact he only resigned as Overseer which position was only functional rather than constitutional.

Mr Mhusambazi said that his wife has also forfeited his emoluments as a share holder contrary to the Statues adding that her move was unlawful, unreasonable and contrary to the Constitution of the ministry.

He said that the position of Overseer was not constitutional but merely functional and in the circumstances, he was beseeching the indulgence of the court to quash the said decision and restore his status and emoluments.

Mr Mhusambazi said that he was the president and founder member of Barak ministries international and as such, he was entitled to certain enjoyments or benefits.

He stated that at some point, he and prophetess agreed that other than holding the Constitutional office of presidency, he should also become overseer of the church which role was more functional.

Mr Mhusambazi said that on or about May 6, 2013 he resigned the position of Overseer of the church but retained his status as co-founder, president and 50 percent shareholder in the church.

    • @ Chalis, Church wont save anyone even if you go there and live you entire life there. with God what counts is a new birth. Just as you were born naturally for you existence on earth, you need much more to be born spiritually to have eternal life and exist with God in Heaven. You have to be born again!! Go to Jesus christ and search your heart you will hear his voice that small voice calling “come all you that labour and are heavy with sin and i will give you rest”

    • This news is on wrong site, take it to Tumfweko.com
      If you want stories related to Pastors, then give us Pastor Mumba, Pule, Shakapwasha, or even Makembo.

  1. AMA CHURCH AWE MWE. IT IS NOT BY GOING OR ATTENDING CHURH THAT YOU WILL FIND CHRIST. HE SAYS IN JOHN 17 THAT HE IS IN US AND US IN HIM. THEREFORE WORSHIP HIM IN YOUR PRIVACY E.G BEDROOM AS HE MENTIONED IN THE BOOK OF JOHN. NOT RELYING ON THESE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY OWN THE CHURCH WHICH IS JESUS’ PROPERTY. THESE PEOPLE ARE UPTO MAKING THEMSELVES RICH WHILE LEAVING THE MEMBERS IN POVERTY. BE CAREFUL. PAUL WAS A TRUE CHRISTIAN NOT THESE USELESS MANGWAMS PRETENDING

  2. not only stopped going to these churches but i have doubts the credibility of the bible. if it’s true the word God why are those comfusion?

    thieves regrouped and declared Zambia a christian nation, really!!!????

    • Be careful what you write.If you doubt the credibilty of the bible you are in actual fact doubting the ALMIGHTY GOD’s credibility.The overseers of Barak ministries do not represent the whole body of christ just one homosexual Anglican priest does not represent the views of the whols Aglican church.

    • Regardless of whichever preacher, pastor or whoever does. I believe in Jesus and his Word the bible. I will NEVER lose my faith in God because of what some fools do in church regardless of their position. The is very clear “…it not all who call me ‘Lord,Lord’ will enter heaven”.

      Do not base you faith on man but on Jesus Christ, the soon coming King.

    • @as a muntu, how can you question credibility of Bible instead of taking heed from various prophesis concerning this time? example Mat 24:24 false christ & prophets will raise up , but Jesus said by there fruits we shall know them. so lets take this case to bible and see (1 corinthians 6:1-9):
      1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 5 I speak to your shame…….6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you,…..

    • @ muntu, the bible says that in the last days many will come in his (Christ) name ts actually the fulfillment of the inspired word of Christ please don’t doubt the word of of CHRIST but instead open ur eyes and prepare yourself for his coming

    • @ as a muntu.

      As a muntu has the right ask the credibility of the bible.
      To answer his question.The Bible we all know is the book God caused to write through his anointed people.and God breathed in it.However,this book has been distorted and is now translated according to church doctrines and selfish desires.
      The bible has no contaditions because the NEW testament pronounces the real meaning of the OLD testament and makes it more underestandable because some scribes like pharises wanted to spoil it.All these Mushrooming churches are here to make money.My advise is stick to old Churches that have stood a test of time.This is insane where husband and wife are claiming ownership of the church and Land titles are bearing their names…cum’ on…this is total MADNESS.

    • @boro yen, The Bible (original translation & King James versions) is credible written word of God. And as a muntu was questioning this in the wake of such happenings as pastor dragging wife to court over church money. The Bible is only book that tells what happened, is happening and will happen in future. when such happenings; which i believe is widespread, come to manifestation we look in the Bible and we should know what era we are living in. compare this with 2Timothy3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,…etc 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
      listern and live

    • It surprises me of what people say when man fails. Can it be that we are also victims of disobeying God’s word. Psalm 118.8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
      than to trust in man. Psalm 146.3 Do not put your trust in princes,
      in mortal men, who cannot save. 4When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
      on that very day their plans come to nothing.

      Never doubt God and His word (The Bible) on account of man. In doing that you prove how little you know of God and Man or that you actually know nothing about God and Man. We have a biblical warning. Trusting in man puts a snare to your soul. I can see some are already caught up in that snare. God help us all

  3. Sometimes I feel that I can worship God at home better at home than going to church. Mbakabwalala ma pastors banji.

    • Bible hasn’t say anything. when you say the “bible says” what do you exactly mean?

      It pays to be clear always and if you are not sure, keep quiet ok!!!

  4. “…and many false prophets will arise and will deceive many”. The so-called prophet is more worried about loosing his salary and benefits. There really is a market for every commodity. How do charlatans like him manage to hoodwink so many people into accepting them as prophets!

  5. This is a sad situations, but there are many Pentecostal churches in Lusaka and Zambia that are run with integrity and competency. They just don’t make the headlines.

  6. We must be careful not to rush and judge before we understand what is the truth behind all this.We need to stand and pray for them.The enemy (Devil) is the one responsible for all of this.

    • Nonsense! ! Why do you always rush to dump it on the devil? It’s in white and black here, for these two their church was a business hence the 50:50 shareholding in numpties that attended their services.
      Why is it so difficult for seemingly normal people to realise that these churches are just money spinners for founders and their pastors, they got nothing to do with God.

    • @ Red Square, Pray yes but search scriptures and see for example 1 corinthians 6:1-9; Paul is saying to go to court between two believers before unbelievers instead of saints is a fault. rather suffer to be defrauded than drag your wife to court. purely i don’t need to pray to know this is wrong. see whateve we do if Gospel is not aim but pure business God has a way to reveal the truth so that people can make right choices and decisions. God can not be mocked and this is purely a business undertaking not a true church of God. Jesus said go and preach the gospel; that means to demonstrate the power of God so that the sick get heaaled, lame walk, blind see, sinners find salvation thats the Gospel of christ and anything short of this is not of God Period. freely you received freely you give

    • Alfred. I agree with your notes. The Bible warns us to test the Spirit so that we do not waiver at any doctrine. Secondly, we are told to search the scripture and study the word of God so that we can ourselves be approved being able to divide the word of God with baldness. It is very unfortunate that we have a Man and Woman of God who do not understand the basic principals of conducting Spiritual affairs in case of misunderstanding. How do you explain a Prophet (husband) taking a Prophetess(wife) to court? These are the people who are bringing the name of our Almighty under scorn. That is why people can easily come up with movies to discredit Jesus Christ. Yes let us pray. However, believers ought to study the word of God for their own benefit. In Heaven no preacher will be your lawyer.

  7. There are many Pentecostal churches run with intergrity, especially the original one PAOG. The problem is mainly with the independent churches and the charismatic churches which people think are Pentecostal when they are not. People like Elfridah and Godfrey are fake.

    • @Garbon Disaster are you serious? Northmead Assemblies of God under Joshua Banda is something else as well. I have been to that church and the way members behave is like everyone drives and has a well paid job!! Joshua himself as an overseer is an MMD cadre who always aligned himself with the Rupiah’s corrupt regime. His integrity is questionable as well, because I for one don’t trust him!! Many of these Pentecostal churches are not preaching the word of God but merely turned the gospel into big business venture.

  8. I am a committed Pentecostal but I have had questions of my own; we give tithes and offerings and depending on the location and membership these can be a lot of money every month. I can show very little as to how this money is used. There are many poor and Hungary people in church coming in the same dirty clothing and flip flops every service and nobody appears to notice them. Others are falling out of schools for failure to pay school fees and nobody comes to their aid. When we have private schools they turn out to be way too expensive.
    Traditionally, we look down on evangelical churches because we think we understand the bible better but they eg Catholics have belt schools, clinics and hospitals and these have been critical and practical to human kind.

    • Are you seriously asking where the millions you give in tithes and offerings go, how old are you? It’s kind like asking HH where he got his money when everyone he stole it from Lima bank retirees.

    • My brother, the issue of tithing is outdated in the New Testament context, it is biblical only in the Old Testament under the priesthold of Levy.Hebrews7:1-14

      Example of the apostles after the death of Christ-

      Now let us look into the texts written by the apostles. Despite the mentioning of the gospel worker to live from the gospel in I Corinthians 9: 14 most of these text promotes giving and does not mention tithing. 2 Corinthians 9:7 talks about giving cheerfully; 2Corinthians 8: 3 encourages giving what you can afford; I Corinthians 16: 2 discusses giving weekly; I Timothy 5: 18 exhorts supporting the financial needs of Christian workers; Acts 4: 32-35- talks on the sharing of possessions among early Christians. Acts 11: 29 promote feeding the hungry; and James 1: 27 states t

    • @Kwalanga Kasawelo , am with you on this point. I am a born again committed christian as well. The happennings in our churches really break my heart. We dont portray christ in our lives. Even me i really struggle to tithe these days….am seriosly thinking of doing community work than to give my money to these churches when the suffering of the people is around us. We do so little yet are coffers are fat. I really want to be part of the change that will people see what we preach in our lives. these churches honestly need regulation

    • YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A CHRISTIAN IS TO PAY YOUR TITHE-WHAT HAPPENS TO IT ,HOW IT IS USED HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THE TITHE WAS “DEVOTED TO DESTRUCTION” NOTHING WAS TO REMAIN ie BANKED- EVRYTHING HAD TO BE CONSUMED BY THE PRIEST AND SHARED WITH WIDOWS ,ORPHANS AND STRANDERS LIKE REFUGEES ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS AS NOT EVRY WIDOW AND ORPHAN IS IN NEED. SO THESE PRIEST WERE VERY FAT AND WELL NOURISHED-GOD DID THIS BECAUSE THE PRIEST HAD NO INHERITANCE SO IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM

    • To start with my fellow believers: “You do not lay claim to something that you have given away”. True we give Tithe. The problem is, we have all been consumed in giving money as the only Tithe you should give. Tithe is simply 10% of what you have and not 10% of your money only. Secondly, Tithe is not for the Old Testament only. Some of the Tithe was given to the Priesthood of Levites Christ Jesus is the Priest in the New and all Believers belong to this Priesthood. So when you give Tithe to the church you are giving to the Priesthood of Christ. The problem is when such things happen in the church then people start asking these questions. I have read a book entitled “Can Pastors Steal Church Money”. If you need it kindly contact me on +27 73 453 0561. You will appreciate these issues.

  9. “You will know them by their fruits” so says the bible. It is very clear here where the motivation for the formation of this church lies. Jesus Christ who these hypocrites pretend to follow did not even have a pillow to lay his head on. Today’s so called pastors want everything from the most plush mansions to the most expensive automobile on the road. Only recently, I heard on of them brag that he cannot drive in a cheap vehicle like a Toyota corolla. What cheek!

  10. ooh too bad for this couple. The Devil is a liar. My God shall help them. People you must know that what the Devil is after is to destroy their testimony to proclaim Christ and attempt to bring shame to the Church as the whole but our God is bigger than all the problems, He will prevail in Jesus name. PHILIPPIANS 3 Vs. 13

    • @ Muletasha, the foundation of this thing was not bibilical but business. And since it did not get its roots into the ground of the word of God the storm as come and its has crambled and great is that fall. But there is still Hope; Go back to the foundation!!!!

    • The devil has never spoken the truth from the time in the Garden of Eden. He has always been a liar. The problem is the heart of man. The bible says it is so wicked that it even deceives itself. When your motives are wrong then the result will be wrong and that has nothing to do with the devil. You are already part of his kingdom.

  11. Chase the devil Ministries PLC

    Next time churches will be listed on the Lusaka Stock Exchange

    and they will even be producing business plans

    can somebody from ZRA propose to their management that they start taxing these useless things Tax on profit.

    • Actually tax exemption should be done away when it comes to these churches as they are abusing it.The ka fool is even saying he has 50 % shares as if it is a business.Imagine we are paying taxes while Joe Imakando is exempt.

    • guys you are right, lets propose they introduce tax in these churches, they are enriching themselves to much.

  12. We are flesh and blood. I do not condemn, I understand that sometimes, people fail to resolve such issues on their own. Nonetheless, I still recommend that as Husband and wife, and for that matter, Preachers of the Word, these issues should have been resolved at home. If not, they should have consulted the church elders.

  13. Apostle Mhusambazi has sued prophetess Elfrida Mhusambazi who is also the vice president …pwakakakakakkaaa
    which is which heaven and/or earth may be.

  14. how can you have question over the credibility of the bible just because people sin, no one question s the credibility of evaluation even when it is totally unrealistic sin makes people loss faith in the bible and GOD. if the bible is the word of God why the confusion ? i want you to know that the devil is at work trying to make people loss faith in God by trying to take wrong people to church, we don’t teach that all those who go to church are converted no, but the church is the means by which God choose to save us so dont question why church just be obedient to him by diong wt he says

  15. @ alfred bulaya

    who are you to say the bible was written by God? you are basing your argument on what you were taught in sunday schools, find time and read the bible i mean collect all the versions and see the changes. i worship the God who never makes mistakes exalted is He far far from what you say He is.

    • I know some of you are heartbroken because of what has happened to your pastors. Beware of the dogs and the concision. Antichrists will not accept the credibility of the bible and authority of God. The anti Christ spirit lives in the flesh of men causing them to insult God and His people. Keep to your faith and ignore them.

  16. @as a muntu, me i am nothing; but i read in bible now not sunday school as follows:
    2Timothy3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
    see you don’t need to interpret this its straight forward. ALL scripture is inspired by GOD period. so 1 corinthians6:1-9 is inspired by God.

  17. I know these two pastors, the former Ngulubes….i have visited their Barak ministries in the past on several occasions. Iye mayo…kanshi they aare in bussiness, i am so disapointed. God help Zambia to rid of such hypocrites who pretent to be serving your people. Fighting over money in church just shows what their motive is….

    • observer, according to their spiritual understanding, ngulube or pig is a bad name…..as a pig is a dirty animal if uncontrolled eats anything including refuse so they didnt want to be influenced by the name. But this story just shows that they are worse than pigs, they are actually parasites feeding on unsuspecting church members who genuinely go to church to serve God

  18. I have known this woman for 20 yrs even before she became rich, SHE IS AN EX BREAD OF LIFE .My aunt used to pay rent for her because she was so poor.She even moved into my aunts house in chilenji and she was staying there for free.I remember her argueing with my aunt why she was marrying this man who was almost as young as her first born son. Afterwards , they formed this church with this so called “man of God”, and they became rich in the blinkling of an eye.Those were the days when this thing of born again started .The fact of the matter still stands this is business.I regrated once my ex step mum who is a golddigger took me there “the man was preaching about breasts” can u imagine? The church is full of crooks and sinners

  19. Is’nt this church were we hear of the heard woman is believed to have been cured from the deadly HIV Aids, some years ago? Check their back ground please,so they are just nothing but bussiness man and woman? What a shame, those poor people who have lost their pennies in the name of desperation……, nowonder i have never given more than 5euros as offering, i would rather give 50euros to a street kid or adult than give it to these pentes, they are nothing but actors, crooks without shame!
    The only churches which really help the poor are our “traditional churches” like the catholic, so nuseating, disgusting, fine them hundreds of taxes and close that cult of a church!

  20. There is no GOD in this organization. He was never there and all their prayers were and still are in vain. Also there is no marriage to talk about here.

    These two people are just seekers of coins

  21. Stop judging them .Matthews 7. rest u are judged.May God intervane in their affairs. Satan, u a lier!HOWEVER,this does not one should disregard de Bible .They are mere human beings like u but u just have 2 have yo own personal re’tionship with God

    • @ Osmore, we should understand and differentiate between judging and correcting.
      Judgement is condemning; determining the end point of someone. contrast it with correction; which is pointing out the wrongs to enable the person concerned make amends and avoid the end point or punishment determined for those particular wrongs.
      In this particular case the wrong is the foundation; This is purely a bussiness enterprise and nothing to do with GOD; name of God is used in vain for a livelihood and easy buck preying on undiscerning church members most of them poor.
      And now the storm has come and they not being rooted in the ground of the word of God as they claimed they were, the house as fallen and great is that fall.
      But yet there is Hope; GO BACK TO THE FOUNDATION!!! The Word of God!!

  22. I am selling anointing oil packaged in a horn of an antelope. All those who seek miracles to locate me at “few bene fweka” ministries or through the Times of Zambia News Paper on page 2 for more information on our well researched and established miracles.

  23. Tricksters,adulterers,con-men …..the list is endless. The all hide in the name of those bread and butter life churches.Watch out !

  24. Tragic indeed. But this confirms a lot of people’s suspicions that these pastors “eat on behalf” of God and like Daniel Munkombwe would readily say “we all go to church to eat!”

    Folks, church is a business, period! Imagine that widow in Kalingalinga who pays a monthly tithe to Barak ministries from her job as a janitor. How does she feel that her tithe is now being fought for in the Courts of Law? But most importantly, how does God feel?

    • YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A CHRISTIAN IS TO PAY YOUR TITHE-WHAT HAPPENS TO IT ,HOW IT IS USED HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THE TITHE WAS “DEVOTED TO DESTRUCTION” NOTHING WAS TO REMAIN ie BANKED- EVRYTHING HAD TO BE CONSUMED BY THE PRIEST AND SHARED WITH WIDOWS ,ORPHANS AND STRANDERS LIKE REFUGEES ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS AS NOT EVRY WIDOW AND ORPHAN IS IN NEED. SO THESE PRIEST WERE VERY FAT AND WELL NOURISHED-GOD DID THIS BECAUSE THE PRIEST HAD NO INHERITANCE SO IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM

  25. Some churches are money spinners, they have no social or community responsibility. Some churches not to mention have built schools and massive hospitals and clinics while others are buying Hammers and mansions for themselves. Lust of the world is more to come in this pentecostal churches.

    • when a couple fight over the spoils, it means they are apart separated going to divorce. baeshako panono. reading what someone has written above that the male pastor is much younger to the female pastor, i dont see him going back to the old woman, he will look for AKASEBULA (a young and beautiful girl).

  26. Ailing Zambian dictator Michael Sata has arrived back in the country from medical treatment abroad.

    Sata arrived 14 hours Zambian time and was immediately airlifted from the Airport to State house.

    Sata was flown out of the country after allegedly collapsing at State House last week on Friday.

    Sata who has been in poor health due to heart problems and prostate cancer has a huge task ahead as he is expected to officiate at the United Nations World Tourism Organisation and also campaign for PF in four by-elections.

    Zambian Watchdog will tomorrow publish a special report titled ‘Mr. President whilst you were on your sick bed.’
    (from ZWD)

    • don’t bring the garbage from the watchdog here-what scoops have they ever done-none-its all character assasinations and preaching to the already converted Tongas- no policy analysis is ever done on that blog its pure garbage that makes one feel like committing suicide

    • @ Muletasha, be careful, don’t blame us for the next incident and please respect elders. The President is your father. You have elders in your family and I guess you have an opportunity to live long if you respect elders unless you are from another planet. May the Lord Jesus deliver you

    • Go hang yourself, we voted for him, get it? infact if it were possible we were going to vote for a dead person cold in the mogue in 2016 just to rub it in and ensure your teenager HH gets a beating from a corpse. Give up, it won’t happen.
      Whilst on this please reign on your ZWD editors to unblock some of us because ‘democracy starts at home’.

  27. @al. Your hate for ZWD is surely your own business, but your futile attempt at the stereotype of Tongas is pure hog wash and down right prejudiced and balder dash.

    Its this kind of copy cat bellicose rhetoric and gusto that confirms the stark reality of what’s in the mind of the Supreme leader. He dictates what the children must say. Tonga this, Tonga that. The name tastes like milk and honey to you? “Swallow your saliva” mate!

    • Watchdog is a UPND blog and Tongas are the bedrock of upnd support so-if it quaks like a duck walks like a duck then call it a duck

    • SGT GUNDUZANI
      Kettle-pot-black comes to mind. Just check on any one of the hate-filled threads on your ZWD and see what amount of bemba this, bemba that you would find. People in glass houses don’t throw stones.

    • They refer to others as dictators whilst they find nothing wrong in blocking anyone with divergent opinion – Choma democracy indeed.

  28. Christians should not sue each other,.. Its unbiblical. Lets just pray for these our leaders that God’s righteousness will prevail. There is a true war between good and evil and we should not fuel it by making unethical comments. But we should respect the fact that people make mistakes regarless of whether they are priest, pastor, parent or president. . But the mistake has been made. Consiquences will be faced. But our job is to make the difference either by going to the person and advising or pray about it and address the issues maturely so that the next generations will learn and do better!!

    • They are Christians but they run a business called barack Ministries and are absolutely right to sue each other, so leave God out of this because he’s not even a shareholder. You guys like taking a mickey of God’s people especially the sea of slow learners we have this part of the world that flock to these business premises every Sunday.

  29. The problem is not with the two business people in the coat of the church. The problem is with the people who go to their church (business venture). they are so brainwashed that they can’t tell who is the real prophet and who is not. People must learn to study the Bible by themselves and see that these people do not mean well. how can one say “I have 50% shares in the church”? Where does this leave the members.

  30. @30,MIND DE WAY U CORRECT YO BRETHREN. THERE’S A LOT OF CONDEMNATION HERE AND THAT IS NOT CHRIST’S SPIRIT.I ADVISE DESE BRETHREN GET UP AND SEE DIS AS THE DEVIL’S TRAP. PLEASE DON’T LET EARTHLY POSSESIONS KILL U. AMAI ND ATATE SHAME DE DEVIL.

  31. Find time to read the book of Rev and you will surely understand as everything is written. Chimo sine nabene TB Joshua bali pwisha impiya sha FTJ. FJT alifwa after parting away with our millions ..Rot in hell. Money is the root of all evil. God has his own way of dealing with Ananiya and Safila….watch the news….!

  32. Well Choma democracy has now gone to Kafulafuta! Kikiki kekeke. And Muchinga “90 days” democracy refused to enter Chipata central and Solwezi east! Kikiki kekeke. Even with the express and tacit approval of an illiterate ‘King’ of Kings. Kikiki. Weeelu!

  33. With high poverty levels in Zambia what do you expect? People will do anything to survive and of course one of the easiest way for quick bucks is the church. These so called pastors, prophets, bishops or whatever prey on the weak, poor, vulnerable, gullible and desperate people. There was a feature story in BBC news which disclosed that some of these pastors are worth millions of dollars and own luxuries like private jets. As the church in most countries is exempt from tax , these pastors use the church for their business activities and launder their money. I really feel sorry for people who fall for the tricks from these guys including educated people.

  34. There is a difference between a church and Ministry. People should know these things. In most cases, the ministry is the work of an individual eg TD Jakes, TB Joshua, John Hage, etc. These people sell the word of God, and make a living out of such works. So yes Ministries are a business while church is not.

  35. It surprises me of what people say when man fails. Can it be that we are also victims of disobeying God’s word. Psalm 118.8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in man. Psalm 146.3 Do not put your trust in princes,
    in mortal men, who cannot save. 4When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
    on that very day their plans come to nothing.

    Never doubt God and His word (The Bible) on account of man. In doing that you prove how little you know of God and Man or that you actually know nothing about God and Man. We have a biblical warning. Trusting in man puts a snare to your soul. I can see some are already caught up in that snare. God help us all.

  36. Thank God because Salvation is very personal if it had not been so some pastors will surely take us to hell. Shareholder of a Church awe sure, so church has become business now. Thank God for Jesus who is a personal savour!

  37. “PETERSEN”has said it all in his church,anyway we just go there to congregate and help 1 another in the word of God.

  38. Mathw24 ..And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. Nowdays they is a mushrooming of many tutemba churches some of them being formed by apostates.Be on the look out that you are not carriered away.I tend to wounder why should a pastor only visit well do people in there homes?why should a pastor only focus his sermon on thithe?why must a pastor just go on air i.e a radio station talk to people who are not seeing him(what if a listener has something to ask?Why not face the people in there homes and on the streets? like the way Jesus used to do. For sure may be it’s the so called Amakwebo mu Church.

  39. Hey! we are a body of Christ wether catolic, pent, U.C.Z, Anglican e.tc. Why are we laughing part of our body? We all have the same goal that is reaching heaven….Who has no sin?…let him/her start throuwing the next stone on those brethrens…..We have one enemy that is the devil….he is the one behind all evil….Let fight the demons behind not the people we see……..
