Pray for the Elections

Share

2 chronicles 7 : 14 ” Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

As we draw close to the elections let Gods people pray, seek His face and turn from their wicked ways. Lets pray for peace during and after election time. Lets pray that the right leader wins. The leader through whom God will restore and bless Zambia.

Right now we are in the midst of a global financial crisis. The U.S. “subprime” crisis, which triggered some of the largest bank failures in U.S. history, has now spread in earnest to Europe and Asia. Bank failures around the world are likely to continue as housing markets collapse and credit markets run dry. There are signs that the crisis may get much worse.

Despite our leaders best intentions to take Zambia to the next level there is a global crisis that can not be ignored. We need a leader who will be able to see Zambia through the turbulent times ahead. Lets pray for a leader who will be selfless, not corrupt, a leader who will go down in the history books as someone who brought about change. Lets pray that God will heal and bless Zambia our motherland. God Bless you all as you prepare to vote.

  1. we are in prayers right now as our hearts reflects on what is at stake. we will pray for peace and unity as well as for God to give us a user-friendly leader, not one who will rob us of the little we have

  2. Now we are talking. As a christian nation we should dedicate the next three days for prayer and fasting. We need the hand of God to guide us. The future of our nation belongs to our children and lets us not make the wrong choice which will have a long time effect on mother Zambia. This is a fight between darkness and light people of Zambia awake the time is now. I wish all the people of Zambia as we go to the polls on 30th October, 2008 all the best and God’s guidance. Let God arise forever and ever. Amen and Amen.

  3. Here’s a Leadership check-list for my those at home to guide you in choosing the right leader:

    1. Vision: can he see the invisible and do the impossible?

    2. Integrity: does he believe in a free society?

    3. Enthusiasm: does he have the catalyst to produce miracles?

    4. Timing: does he know when to say when?

    5. Success: does he have determination and dedication for the nation?

  4. Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
    Therefore, we are saved by hope.
    Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
    Therefore, we are saved by faith.
    Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
    Therefore, we are saved by love.
    No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
    Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness…

  5. RB has no shame how can he trust vj all the crimnals now are back i hope that this time one of the oppossions wins SATA HH MIYANDA TO WIN so that rb and his team are ashemed

  6. I am praying for Zambia like I have always done, well as i pray I will exercise my democratic responsibility and that is to vote for the leader of my choice….

  7. “As we draw close to the elections let Gods people pray, seek His face and turn from their wicked ways. Lets pray for peace during and after election time.”

    Spot on and I will do the needful.

  8. LET US PRAY FOR GOD’S GOOD HAND TO BLESS AND GUIDE US DURING AND AFTER ELECTIONS. EVERY HOUSEHOLD SHOULD BE TASKED TO PRAYER.

  9. Yes lets pray for our country to all those that watch Emmanuel TV Sunday Prophecy is really crucial may God help mother Zambia

  10. Choose
    The single clenched fist lifted and ready,
    Or the open hand held out and waiting.
    Choose:
    For we meet by one or the other…

    Choose

    PABWAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOO>>>>>>>>

  11. Father in Heaven, I pray that you will give leader that has a heart for the Zambian people. Give a person who is not corrupt. I pray all this in Jesus’ name. Amen!!!

  12. Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free… and that freedom comes from above!!!

    We are on our knees for mother Zambia.. we are also armed with the greatest weapon of Democracy our VOTERS CARDS! PABWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>>>

  13. Iam praying that if Michael Sata wins, God almighty will make it easy for me to relocate to somewhere very far and denounce my Zambian citizenship. LT you might wanna post my comments.

  14. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Let the will of God be done in our country. God has already chosen one so lets go and vote with the leading of God.

  15. May God continue to give SATA favour to win these elections and stop VJ and MMD from rigging and all the people said AMEN!!!!!

  16. Brethren lets us refer to the Word of the Lord as we chose a leader, read Deut 17:14-20 and look through the four standing candidates. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
    May God bless our Country

  17. in the might name of Jesus, father i pray (we pray) as a country that lord you already know what comes forth before us therefore might father we committee our country that father may you choose a president for our country who will selflessly work for the pipo of zambia, one who has love, who will unite us grant Mr HH this favour for we pray all this in chirst’s name AMEN.

  18. As all candidates try and convince the electorate of their bearing on God’s own radar, lets pray that He will deliver to the people of Zambia , His own annointed leader for His people in peace and that leader will ensure development and not take us back 25 years. Amen.

    May the bloggers also respect opinions that are different from their own. I am feeling you gelo wapa zed. Amen

  19. # 30, those are my wishes,respect them just as much as i will respect yours. God is for us all, even those of us who would rather denounce their citizenship than have Sata as President ok?

  20. people let us ask God to give us leaders who will serve the nation whole heartedly and not bakelenka ba Nyama Soya he can be dozing throughout and leave room for ka mulongoti to steal

  21. May the comforting fellowship of the HOLY SPIRIT be & abide with mother Zambia. "No SNAKES will ever govern our land"Amen. May the comforting fellowship of the HOLY SPIRIT be & abide with mother Zambia. "No SNAKES will ever govern our land"Amen.

    The”Apostolate

  22. Okay, my bad. My point is that I would rather live somewhere else than have a President who I dont have faith in, whom I think does not have genuine interest in the needs of the Zambians. I want a good life for myself, my family, my friends and my fellow Zambians. Frankly speaking Michael Sata in my opinion is not the best candidate.

  23. Zed Gelo has a very valid point. There are actually several people with similar plans should Sata win. Lets face it people, the man is a thug, period!!! Have we forgotten his transgressions so soon?

  24. Lets unite in praying for beloved mother Zed.Like a noble eagle in its flight, Zambia will rise.Viva best candidate.Peace Zambia

  25. People of Zambia,it’s that time again when we are called upon to exercise our consititutional right and choose ourselves a leader.We obviously won’t go for the same leader for various reasons best known to ourselves.But at the end of the day,let’s pray that God Almighty will give us the heart to ACCEPT the results that will be announced and live on with them.Let us go through this phase with the same peace that we’ve let prevail over our nation.As underdeveloped as we are,civil war should be out of our thinking/planning as it will not do us any good.Vote wisely,but accept the majority’s choice.God bless Mother Zambia.Peace.

  26. We pray for peace,love and unity to continue before and after elections,we bind rigging and all electoral malpractices that may lead this nation to problems,we bind blood shedding we pray for trasparency and direct us Jehovah God to choose a leader who will bring development in our country In Jesus name,Amen.

  27. There is need to pray for peace, love and unit. There is need for us to pray for a leader who will please God:
    We are humans and can only see as far as our eyes and ears but God Almighty help us to choose a leader who will please you. Lord give us a leader who will maintain zambia as a Christian Nation and uphold values of peace, love, unit and morality in our country. One who will have the plight of the widows and orphans. One who will look after the plight of the aged and the retirees. One who will not be selfish but look at the plight of the poor. One who will address the ills of our society and not ruin our country. One who will honour your Word O Lord. Amen.

  28. Very Correct advise except others would do things totally opposite of God’s will.They do things they are told not to do. Let God’s will
    be done by voting for the right person to achieve good results.Forget
    the age nor tribe. God can use anybody irrespective of physical appearance
    May the best CANDIDATE win.May Zambia remain peaceful for many African Countries to Learn from.

  29. Chant with I man from the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 52:

    Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion!
    Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city:for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
    Shake thyself from the dust, arise and sit down, O Jerusalem!

  30. yeah i said it,for such a thing to happen at such a time,its because God almighty knows wat he is about to do.the bible says he works in ways that u cannot see and that is wat he is doing for mother zambia.
    there is no such term as rigging in Gods kingdom,and remember,we cannot fight Gods will.
    LESA FYE UMWINE!

  31. let us all pray for our mother land, hoping that the Lord will guide that and that the right leader might emerge from all the candidates.
    God Bless Zambia

  32. Let us also commit all PF cadre insulters – a breed Zambians that is sick/ill in the mind – on LT to the good Lord God in prayers. There is still hope for them too.

    Peradventure atleast one of them will give his/her life to the Lord God, our Creator.

  33. I Pray that God who knows all the candidates inside out should rig the votes of all undiscerning voters and hip them on the man whom God knows to be our best leader for the next 3yrs.”Make your motions and cast your votes, but GOD has the final say.” (Proverbs 16:33 MSG)
    A warning to those who are blood thirsty “bantala misoka” Beware we are not praying to a block of wood or stone but to the LIVING GOD who is a consuming fire. Watchout! God bless and protect Zambia.
    Amen..

  34. MY PRAYER ON ELECTIONS IS THAT THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF ZAMBIA SHOULD ALLOW THOSE VOTERS WHO CAN NOT TRAVEL TO THOSE DISTANT AREARS WHERE THEY VOTED IN 2006 , TO CAST THEIR VOTES AT THE PRESENT AND NEAREST POLLING STATION AS FOLLOWS-PRESENT THE VOTERS CARD WHICH HAS PARTICULARS OF THE POLLING STATION REGISTERED FROM IN 2006 TOGETHER WITH THE NRC -THIS VOTER IS THEN SCREENED AS AUTHENTIC AND GIVEN A BALLOT PAPER FROM THE SPARES THAT WERE PRINTED,AFTER CASTING THE VOTE BY THIS VOTER, THE VOTERS CARD REMAINS AT THAT PARTICULAR POLLING STATION SO THAT, THAT VOTER CAN NOT TRAVEL TO THE ACTUAL POLLING STATION TO GO AND VOTE MORE THAN ONCE.

  35. REFER ALSO TO THE POSTBAG LETTER ON MONDAY 27 OCTOBER 2008 (THE POST), PAGE 19 ,LETTER ENTITLED -QUESTIONS FOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES,AND ALSO ZNBC TELEVISION PROGRAM ON ELECTION INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY BY CHANDA CHIMBA THE THIRD` ON MONDAY 27 OCT, 2230HRS AND REPS FROM THE CHURCH MOTHER BODIES. ALOT OF REGISTERED VOTERS MAY BE DE-FRANCHAISED IF WE DISREGARD 62 ABOVE.

  36. We hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth,
    that religion, or the duty we owe our Creator and the
    manner of discharging it, can be directed only by
    reason and conviction, not by force or violence.
    The religion then of every man must be left to the
    conviction and conscience of every man; and it is
    the right of every man to exercise it as these may
    dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right.

  37. only an unpatriotic half zambian can renounce his or her citizenship.im a zambian in the diaspora and have been for the past 4 years,what ever happens i cant renounce my citizenship. i love mother zambia dearly ndi mwana zedi forever and ever.As for the election, vote the king cobra for change love u all guys mu diaspora lets stand proud and free for mother zambia

  38. #68 What change, when King cobra was a key part of 10 of those 17 years of MMD. Even after 10 yrs he was not ready for he still wanted Kafupi for third term. Even now he is not ready.Its his cadre fighting MMD in kanyama and they are fighting UPND in Chawama. No reports of MMD fighting UPND. Dera Zedians Vote wisely Say no to politics of violence.

    RE: DOUBLE STANDARDS IN YOUR MEDIA COVERAGE

    Reference is made to the above subject matter.

    It is with deep regret that it has come to a scenario where we have to write an open letter to your newspaper that claims to dig deeper. We have been observing with dismay for sometime now about your behaviour and double standards when it comes to handling national issues.

    We have also observed with dismay that your paper has of late been swimming and taking pride in past glory. However, we are aware that this glory was fought for and sustained by senior journalists worth their salt who have since left on their own or have

  40. LUKE 19 VS 27 THE BIBLE READ’S:BUT THOSE MINE ENEMIES,WHICH WOULD NOT THAT I SHOULD REIGH OVER THEM,BRING HITHER, AND SLAY THEM BEFORE ME.
    ISAIAH 22 VS 19-24 BETTER BE CAREFULL OR BE HANGED BEFORE SATA ON THAT DAY.THE BEST PERSON TO ADVISE YOU IS HAMAN THE STORY FROM MODECAI ESTHER 6 VS 4-14.I REALY LOVE MY GOD COZ YOU CAN NOT CHEAT OR BRIBE HIM HE SEE’S EVERYTHING WHAT MORE RIGING WAIT AND SEE.

  41. We here in the USA are praying for your election. I have been to Zambia several times and love that country, so I want nothing but the best that God have for you. We also are in our presidental election so we understand what you are going through. May The Lord Jesus Christ be with you

  42. THERES NO NEED TO JUDGE EACH OF THESE PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS ON THEIR PAST SINS AFTERALL EACH OF THEM HAS A WEAKNESS . ALL WE NEED TO DO IS PRAY THAT GOD GIVES US A LEADER THAT HE HIMSELF WILL CHOOSE . LET US AVOID INSULTS THEY JUST DETORIATE OUR PROGRESS. WE R A PEACEFUL PEOPLE AND WE R GOING TO PRAY THAT GOD CAUSES HIS FACE TO SHINE ON THIS LAND NO NEED TO PANIC . GOD IS IN CONTROL.GOD IS GIVING US A JOSHUA WHO WILL TAKE US TO A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY AND THIS NATION WILL PROSPER LIKE NEVER BEFORE. GOD IS RESTORING THIS LAND. GOD BLESS ZAMBIA AND ZAMBIANS

  43. We need a leader who’s gonna bring change to our nation,fresh ideas,selfless,wise leader.we need to give HH a chance to take Zambia to higher heights,we really do appreciate the past efforts of other leaders but now it’s time to turn the page,regardless of tribe,lets think clearly,open our eyes and Give HH the oppurtunity he derseves…
