Twalapwa mu chalo kuli ba satana aba. Zambia is a christian nation. Prayer warriors lets pray for this country.
No powers of satanism fashioned against this nation will prosper. Some one has opened doors for the devil. May such a one be cased and no peace in his life. God destroy them in the precious blood of Jesus
You f.o.o.l who told you that God is in the business of destroying sinners? He sent his Son to save sinners not to kill. This matter doesn’t even require prayers. We know the route cause of this. How come we never used to have so many accidents UNIP and MMDs time. Your government is to blame not satanists.
I have worked for a transport company before. The truth of the matter is that most of these PSV drivers on our roads are illiterates with no formal training whatsoever. They start as call boys in bus stations before graduating to min bus/taxi drivers them to PSV drivers. The government must do something about this. Secondly why does RTSA allow buses to move at night? We are not serious in this country.
Lets all the intercessors begin to interceed for our country. remember we do not reso against flesh and blood but against the principalities of the evil ones. More especially this season. May our Lord Protect us.
MOST OF THE ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY TRUCK.BUS AND TAX DRIVERS. MOST OF THESE GUYS HAVE NEVER BEEN TO SCHOOL. EMPHASIZE FOR INTENSIVE DRIVING LESSONS FOR DRIVERS.MOST OF THESE DRIVERS THEY DON’T LIKE PASSING THROUGH SCHOOL BUT LIKE SHORT CUTS. WE ALSO NEED TO BE VERY PRAYERFUL TOO MUCH SATANISM

J J U R A SATANIST MAY GOD DESTROY THE EVIL THOUGHTS OF WORSHIPING THE DEVIL. U HAVE FELT THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS. I AGREE WITH MISHECK AND MM TOO MUCH SATANISM. DON’T BLAME ANY ONE NOT RATSA BUT WE NEED TO REPENT RENOUNCE THE DEVIL JJ AND CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU LIFE
