Ignore Mr Hakainde Hichilema’s call to Shun Day of Prayers-Rev Jevan Kamanga

Former NAREP National Secretary Reverend Jevan Kamanga has joined different sections of society in condemning United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema for opposing the National Day of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance set for October 18, 2015.

In a statement released to the media Reverend Jevan Kamanga, urged Zambians to ignore Mr Hichilema’s call to shun the day of prayers.

Below is the full statement

IGNORE MR. HAKAINDE HICHILEMA’S CALL TO SHUN DAY OF PRAYER

We are very disappointed and disturbed by the statement coming from Mr. Hakainde Hichilema in downplaying the day of prayer which was called by HE Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia. Mr. Hichilema is quoted as saying “the 18th October Day of Prayer will be a mockery to God”. This shows how little Mr. Hichilema understands the Word of God.

I have serious doubts in leaders like Mr. Hichilema who behave in such a manner as being displayed right now. At the SDA conference in Heroes Stadium, Mr. Hichilema refused to Honor the Head of State. In Kasama, him and his friend GBM refused to even give respect to the Head of State when he attend the installation of Chief Chitimukulu. These behaviours are against the demands of the Word of God according to Romans 13 vs. 5 – 7

“[5] Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
[6] This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.
[7] Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

Now Mr. Hichilema wants to throw cold water on a just cause meant to unite, heal and reconcile people through forgiveness and prayer. What does he really want? Where does he stand with regards to spiritual matters? And if he claims to be an Elder in a respectable movement in our country, then let him tell us why he goes against basic teachings of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.

Let me offer a quick scriptural basis for the Day of Prayer as summoned by the Head of State quoting 2 Chronicles 7 vs. 13 – 16.

“[13] “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,
[14] 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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
[15] Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
[16] I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.”

Again, Joe 1 vs. 14 records, “Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.”

Does Mr. Hichilema even know what can happen if God got upset with any of us? He must know his limits and not pull our Almighty God in his selfish pursuit to plot one.

Ladies and gentlemen, there are many scriptures that encourage people to seek God in prayer whenever they face crises of any kinds. Our country is facing a lot of challenges today most of which are beyond man’s effort. The last thing one wants to hear is that we don’t need God or that God is upset with us. Does Mr. Hichilema even know what can happen if God got upset with any of us? He must know his limits and not pull our Almighty God in his selfish pursuit to plot one.

If anything, the Bible encourages us to pray for those in authority according to 1 Timothy 2 vs. 1 – 4 which gives us instructions on Worship

“[1]I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-
[2] for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
[3] This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
[4] who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”

It is therefore in order for the HE Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu to call for a consecrated assembly to seek the face of God for His intervention in our situations. Mr. Hichilema has told the nation that he will not attend the Prayer meeting. What’s new? Why is he afraid? Does he want the country to continue in the state it is in now? Does he think this situation will sort of help or usher him into State House? No. By refusing to attend this National Day of Prayer, Mr. Hichilema is signaling to us that he doesn’t love forgiveness, reconciliation, peace, unity, and healing.

What’s new? Why is he afraid? Does he want the country to continue in the state it is in now? Does he think this situation will sort of help or usher him into State House? No.

In conclusion, I want to appeal to the people of Zambia to ignore Mr. Hichilema’s call and unite for a common good to see our land healed and restored. The Kitwe Pastors have started the ball rolling and it’s my humble appeal to all Pastor’s Fellowships around the country to emulate our Kitwe brothers and sisters and take lead in praying for mother Zambia.

Seeing that the 18th of October will be a Sunday, I want to propose that people meet in their various churches and then around 12h00, we can converge in designated stadia. We have done this before and we can do it again.

Thank you and may God bless you.

  1. HH has just confirmed all the Satanist rumors we have heard about them.

    Evil people are very afraid of prayer.

    • And on Monday, 19th October 2015, our prayers shall be answered:
      Parity (1 : 1) of Kwacha vs. US Dollar; 2,000,000 million new jobs created overnight, inflation actually drooped to 7%; price of copper rocketed to 25,000 USD/t.; imbecility eradicated; PF notables return stolen Billions; rule of law reestablished and “Nubian Princess” IQ increased from imbecility level to respectable 69!!!
      The power of prayer!?!

    • How will things change if we go to church for 2 hrs or 24hrs ? This is how dull the government thinks . That two hours as starving Zambians we could be doing more better things , rethar then taking dull shite about politics.

    • Haha , how will the economy change ? Your stupid fools have failed as Zambians and it’s simple . Don’t bring God for your corruption and violence!

    • Too much superstition in Zambia and Politicians are making it worse using the tool of propaganda, and of course the fearful, ignorant and gullible easily fall for it. While progressive countries are focused on ensuring that their citizens live quality lives with tangible results, Zambia is distracted with issues of superstition.

    • PEOPLE SIN BY SELF. AND HAVE SELF-INFLICTED GUILTY AND THE RESULTS OF IT. DOES GOD STOP SUCH A ONE FROM PRAYING TO HIM? NO! JESUS ONCE SAID: ” I CAME FOR SINNERS NOT FOR RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE”.. AND THE BIBLE CONDEMNS BEING “RIGHTEOUS OVERMUCH” THINKING U ARE MORE BETTER THAN OTHERS. WHO ARE YOU TO SIT IN JUDGEMENT OF A SINNER WHO WANTS TO PRAY AND TELL HIM NOT TO PRAY? LET GOD BE THE ONE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO LISTEN TO SUCH PRAYERS OR NOT.

      ANYONE STOPPING OR DISCOURAGING PEOPLE TO PRAY STANDS IN OPPOSITION NOT TO MAN BUT TO GOD, COZ PRAYER IS A REQUIREMENT FROM GOD. LET THEM PRAY AS THEY FEEL LIKE AND GOD HIMSELF WHO THEY ARE PRAYING TO WILL DECIDE.

    • HH is destined to become the president of Zambia wether he attends fake prayers or not. The fact is that all so called pastors supporting edgar lungu on his call for day of national prayer are doing so because they have been bought by Edgar lungu from the change what remained from his loot of $300 000.
      Edgar Lungu has invited more sangomas at state house than pastors since he assumed office early this year.

    • @Reverend Jevan Kamanga;
      You the so called pastros that abuse church members on the pretex of tithes and offerings. Who does not know that you are saying so just cath political attention from Edgar Lungu so that he can give you some money?
      You are satanically aware that your Edgar Lungu has spent $350 000 just on chartering a plane when the majority Zambians are wallowing in poverty. But yet you are the first person in the church to demand for money from them but you will not mind the sweat that comes out of them when loooking fir the same money provided your belly and those of your familly members is full. what a shame. If I were you Reveland, i would quite pastorial duties and concertrates with politics of the belly.

    • Seems to me the RECONCILIATION part of this call is proving to be the real challenge. The rest sounds like everyone is breaking their necks to pass judgment and that is particularly ironic of those who purport to know their bible…

    • @Nubian, you used to be smart, I am disappointed that you can think like a prostitute who think a female condom is safer than a male condom.
      If your reverends are men of God, why are so erecting their weak souls over HH not attending the useless gathering?

    • Believe the quack reverend let him believe his own. Leave it to HH and his opinion on the called prayers as only himself is answerable to God on matters of God. There are many different opinions expressed on these prayers so no one need make capital of it. Reverend please stay in your lane! Will all those that will not heed the call be obliterated from the face of Zambia? Nothing is optimal for all thus the power of choice that God gave His creations.

    • Maybe this Rev should have read the whole Bible to clearly see that this call for prayers is vanity.
      Isaiah 1:10-17(KJV)
      10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
      11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
      12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
      13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
      14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they…

    • Contd….
      14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
      15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
      16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
      17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

    • Here is another scripture for the Rev:
      Jeremiah 14 (KJV):
      10 Thus saith the Lord unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
      11 Then said the Lord unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
      12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
      13 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
      14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent…

    • contd..
      Jeremiah 14 (KJV):
      14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
      15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
      16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
      17 Therefore thou shalt say this word…

    • DON’T PRETEND THAT THINGS ARE FINE. HOW MUCH DOES A POLITICIAN LIKE LUNGU AND HIS PEOPLE GET? HAVE POLITICIANS WHO ARE ORGANIZING CHRISTIANS TO RECONCILE EVER HAD SUCH A FLOW OF RECONCILIATION? HAS MUMBI PHIRI AND DAVIS CHAMA EVER APOLOGIZED TO THOSE WHOM THEY HAVE OFFENDED? HOW MANY TIMES HAS PF KILLED AND BRUTALIZED INNOCENT PEOPLE LIKE KAMPASA AND LAND OWNERS. A GOOD CHRISTIAN MUST STAND AND STCK TO HIS MORAL GROUNDS WHEN IS WRONGED.

  2. Under 5 should have stayed out of this one. He needs to learn to control, and ultimately curb his naivety and hunger and thirsty for visibility over common sense if he is to be accepted as a leader who is humble, inclusive and listens ..am afraid Edgar Jameson, Tobwa, Katata, Mbamba (add whatever beer name you can) Lungu is running away with this one despite his middle names that are Christians are against. Zambians and their Chiefs are beginning to accept our beer man as a humble leader who they can trust. And make no mistake, backward or whatever you might choose it label it, majority of Zambians are deeply religious and HH stand wont help his cause but enforce those allegations against him from some fake Bishop.

    • Job seeker. Shut up. There is a difference between being religious and being a Christian. Most Zambians are religious, yes. That is why you are thieves, extortioners and rapists. I am waiting to see whether Lungu will stop drinking on 19/10. Leave HH out this tribal worship.

    • @Drums of War

      Why do you UPND cadres so paranoid about tribe and see everything through tribe. I didn’t mention tribe in my post why the tribal worship you bring up. And hey am have a job and am not looking for a Job from a beer man, am just MMD watching this show from the sidelines which everybody knows it is a fight between UPND and PF..you see that is the naivety you are exhibiting that we talking about, basically zeal without knowledge, of course I know the difference between Christianity and religion. Free Mason is a religion too and so is satanism.

    • Too much superstition in Zambia and Politicians are making it worse using the tool of propaganda, and of course the fearful, ignorant and gullible easily fall for it. While progressive countries are focused on ensuring that their citizens live quality lives with tangible results, and while progressive countries provide a conducive environment for technology to advance, and their citizens are equally engaged and productive and have no room for unproductivity, Zambia is distracted with issues of superstition.

    • DRUMS OF WAR WHY SHOULD LUNGU STOP DRINKING? DOES HE DRINK AND SLEEP IN A TAVERN? IF HE DOES CAN YOU SHOW US AN IMAGE OF ECL SLEEPING IN ONE OF THE TAVERNS? ALCOHOL JUST LIKE CONVENTIONAL FOOD TAKEN IN WRONG QUANTITIES IS BAD AND CAN BE HARMFUL.

    • Personally I can not judge him on this. I as a Christian I understand and believe that he is a Christian and therefore he has the right to fast or not to fast on that day. Zambians we need to wake up and realize that there’s more to Christianity than just saying let us fast on this day, this does not make one Christ like. How has Edgar and the people talking ill about HH been living their lives in the past? Have they been living a Godley life? Or they know what makes Zambians gullible? To my fellow Zambians I say you can fast all you want, you can tell the whole world how Zambia is a Christian nation, but if your hearts are busy talking ill and hating on others. Zambia will be the same a country without proper hospitals, schools, roads, and you will still be enjoying load shedding 51…

    • @MMD Chief Bootlicker,
      Failure to respond point-for-point to issues HH has said only goes to confirm that HH is right. Using degrading language and unsuccessful attempt to change the subject only goes to reinforce HH’s points. But then again, you are living up to your pseudo name. You have morphed into an Ostrich that buries its head in sand.

    • Before the ink could dry on the 18th October declaration, Edgar was already spending colossal amounts on travelling. And what to they have to say about Guy Scots address to parliament which shows that the load shedding was PF and made and not an act of nature

  3. You are not a Christian yourself, even your language is far from being a Christian.
    HH did not call all the people to shun the satanic prayers. He spoke for himself.
    Ati reverend. Who ordained you?

  4. You pf fools/chaps leave HH alone. Just go and have your prayers and we will see if things will change in this country. Hope after your prayers, there will be no more corruption, no more loadsheding, the kwacha will appreciate, things will be cheap….

    • The truth is, no one should at all be fearful when they come into God’s presence. He is not there waiting to punish people for their mistakes and failures. His light is not for exposing their sins and shame, or for condemning them. No, His glorious light is for showing us how perfectly His Son’s blood has washed away our sins! That is why Jesus could tell the woman that was caught committing adultery, He did not condemn her—because He would be condemned for her sin as well as ours at the cross.

  5. Praying for God’s intervention for self inflicted problems is also mocking God.Don’t pray over our national problems,just pray that YOU can change your ways and your wrong mindsets.

    Mind you the biggest and most powerful nations…France,China,UK or Japan are some of the most ungodly lands in the world.

    • PEOPLE SIN BY SELF. AND HAVE SELF-INFLICTED GUILTY AND THE RESULTS OF IT. DOES GOD STOP SUCH A ONE FROM PRAYING TO HIM? NO! JESUS ONCE SAID: ” I CAME FOR SINNERS NOT FOR RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE”.. AND THE BIBLE CONDEMNS BEING “RIGHTEOUS OVERMUCH” THINKING U ARE MORE BETTER THAN OTHERS. WHO ARE YOU TO SIT IN JUDGEMENT OF A SINNER WHO WANTS TO PRAY AND TELL HIM NOT TO PRAY? LET GOD BE THE ONE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO LISTEN TO SUCH PRAYERS OR NOT.

      ANYONE STOPPING OR DISCOURAGING PEOPLE TO PRAY STANDS IN OPPOSITION NOT TO MAN BUT TO GOD, COZ PRAYER IS A REQUIREMENT FROM GOD. LET THEM PRAY AS THEY FEEL LIKE AND GOD HIMSELF WHO THEY ARE PRAYING TO WILL DECIDE.

    • You UPND cadres , can you please make up your mind? Can you name one sin in the bible or crisis which was never self inflicted? Is that what Free Mason-ism teaches. My Friend ALL sin and I mean ALL sin is self inflicted and stems from disobedience. The Fall of Man, is self inflicted and God did not sit back and say it is self inflicted let them just suffer. I think UPND interpretation of Christianity is blinded by their thirst for plot one at all cost.

      Again if France , China, UK and Japan are powerful and ungodly, does it follow that you are saying that we have to become UnGodly to get out of our problems? This is why we say that UPND is Free Masonic and does not believe in God at all.

    • Ecclesiastes 9:11

      I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

      My fellow, you know that God shines his son on the Good and the evil. SO even those countries have wisdom and intelligence. Ours is prayers of forgiveness and reconciliation everything else like work need to be continuously done.

    • @ MMD Chief Bootlicker

      You are a PF coribant; straight and simple.

      You abhor and despise UPND; it’s your right. What is repugnant is to ascribe a religion, red herring style, to a political group. The 10s of thousands and even millions that support HH and UPND are catholic , Pentecostal , Jehovah witness, etc.

  6. This government has failed and it’s simple , don’t bring God with your corruption. How will it change the economy? If you are busy stealing from as poor Zambians . Stupid idea and telling people lets go to church, will things change ? We aren’t stupid or foolish. Fix the economy and change the BC constitution.

  7. @Nubian Princes-Hypocrites together with your stupid Author!How’s more Satanic in your swallow single minded poverty embedded grey matter between(1)One who uses pangas,guns,machetes & sangomas to rule? (2)One who contracts huge sums of eurobonds using poor Zambians as collateral & corruptly uses it & among his cronies?(3)One who draws battle lines with his perceived political rivalries & promise to crush them like a brick crushing machine? (4)One who always uses divisive & tribal speeches,intimidate,witch-hunt & accuse others of crimes which they never committed?(5)One who drinks recklessly & spend hugely for himself using poor Zambian’s contributions in form of taxes? In any case,My Bible tells me that “thy shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour”;it also tells me that…

  8. “thy shall not judge thy neighbour …”(6)One who lied to the poor Zambians that he will deliver this & that but failed uptodate?This praying & fasting issue is only for you in PF as it shows that you were not doing it since 2011;now you are coming to terms with others who have been living in abject poverty since 2011.You friends now have become resilient & self reliant due to your economic mismanagement & policy inconsistency henceforth all these mayhems!Moreover,its not HH alone calling for Genuine prayers & fasting,we are many & to you,we are masonic,call us any name you feel like/ or that sounds pleasant to yourselves,but the truth remains-God is the only judge!

  9. Go for your playing ooh sorry praying. HH & Nawakwi said they won’t attend. I did not hear them say they will block anyone. Chamibaba shani?

  10. On a serious note, we need to amend our statutes and separate State matters from Church matters. Chilean used the same method and it worked very well for him. He even marvelled at his achievement by suggesting that Zambian had become sufficiently indoctrinated and docile to be ruled and fooled forever! As for HH and us, no empty talk from Soothe sayers will sway our resolve not to be part of this Contest in the Plains of Dura (Daniel 3). Let each one read for themselves express their God-given right to choose whether to participate or not. It is very clear from what men of the cloth are saying now that this whole affair is in bad faith and meant to divert the attention of gullible masses from the real issues!

  12. …this site is proving to be no different to the Post….his selective quoting of people with negative view over a particular person or a group of people is evidently being practiced on this site as well….the other day it was Sunday Chanda…then Lusambo…now this Reverend…im sure tomorrow will see another similar article….meanwhile Nawakwi had a press conference just the other day but hasn’t been ‘quoted’ because she has a divergent views on the subject….I notice that all the articles are empathising on his refusal to attend but ignore the mention of WHY he wont attend…..
    …are we really ever going to have an online publication which is 100% neutral…..

    • Hypocriticness, petty generousness and superstitiousness is the order of the day in this bankrupt nation called Zed. Anyone who makes it financially is a Satanist-its a sign of being primitive. With this kind of mindset, we will always lag behind and this why even clueless crooks like Lungu are able to ascend to power because we are too myopic as a people.

      Today Lungu is in statehouse partly because of false propaganda directed at their main rival in the last elections on issues of religion, and they still want to play the same cards to disadvantage him in the forth coming elections and the silly thing is, we the sloppy Zambians are too naïve to read between the lines.

      Lungu and PF in general are merely a batch of hypocrities bent on using the name of God to propel their political…

  13. Dear Lord why have you forsaken us. Among the 11 zambians who wanted to lead us in January, you choose for us a drunk.
    Dear Lord, the Chinese, South Koreans, Qataris, Singaporeans who don’t call on your name the way we do are far much blessed than us.They have per capita incomes that is in tens of thousands of dollars. What greater sin did we do that amidst plenty of natural resources you gave us we still live in squalor.
    Dear Lord the tswanas have not declared their country christian but you look at them with favour. As we converge on 18/10 dear Lord open our eyes to see where we are missing it. You made us a democracy but when we disagree with your chosen rulers they call us names, they hate us because in your wisdom you made us kachemas. Are we not, dear Lord, just as good children…

    • Just one correction my friend…. God did not choose a leader for us we the people chose. God gave us the brain to think before we vote, to see who can do good for our nation. Guess what as Zambians choose to vote based on who has the best catch phrase, which tribe do I like, emotional etc. Personally I vote on merit.

    • Thanx #Tisa, my prayer exactly.God has done his part by giving us the brains, its up to us to lift ourselves out of this mess.
      “Lesa tapela kuminwe apalamika fye” quote from Lungu’s campaign speech in the bangweulu bye election.

  14. Icilema must surely listen to all these voices, giving counsel of all shades- spiritual, moral, etc. Icilema will surely never succeed in his endeavours to ascend to state power.

  15. If at all FDD, UPND and others who have concerns about the National Prayer and fasting day decide to attend, their prayer focus should be for Credible Honest Leaders and Government workers, Education opportunities for Zambians because the illiteracy levels in Zambia is a major concern as the majority of Zambians are failing to articulate issues and instead are using a lot of emotions, Freedom of Assembly and expression and opportunities for the Public Order Act to be abolished, opportunities for sponsored violence by Politicians to be dealt with firmly by the law and every involved Politician to be held accountable.

    • Opportunities for hate speech to be abolished and instigators to be held accountable. Opportunities for corruption and theft of Public resources at all levels to be dealt with severely without fear or favor, opportunities for injustices and impartiality to be dealt with severely, Opportunities for educated voters and 2016 voting to be based on merit and not emotions and propaganda. Opportunities for ECZ to be structured and their standards to meet the expectations of all local stakeholders. Opportunities for Road Safety to be addressed .

  16. If this call to prayers was an idea by OP they must be recommended. HH fell right into the trap by shunning prayers which are supported by the majority of Voters. He has alienated himself further than he thinks. This call to prayers is a blessing in disguise for lungu. HH if you have advisors you need to change them. Right from issuance of this call I knew you were going to alienate yourself if you refused to attend. Get in touch with LT for my contact details and you be getting the best spin doctor.. don’t leave it to late.

    • @ Patrick:
      After masterbating, you thought you should also pass a comment. Sometimes my brother, remaining quite is golden than exposing your folishness and ignorance. Remember my dear; God cannot be mocked.
      Edgar Lungu is a man worshiping sangomas and mismanaging funds.
      How to you explain the misuse of close $360 000 just on hiring the aircraft and taking musicians and other useless carders likeMumbi Phiri. Is that godly?

      EDGAR LUNGU IS HIMSELF A MUSLIM.

    • @Passenger
      I don’t support Edgar lungu nor his corrupt GRZ but I comment on the political realities, this is like a game of chase brother, don’t get too emotional.
      Politics is a game of manipulation, the best man wins. If HH is so ignorant to fall for such gimmicks like shunning prayers that the majority support he will lose. Some times you go against your principles. Churches have the largest congregations of Voters gathered in one place on Sundays, now if you can manipulate them to vote for you, you will have gained a lot of votes. Simple, forget good guys or bad guys, it’s all about manipulation of the illitrate masses.

    • Patrick, what do you mean by majority? I am one of the majority and I support HH. Those are shum prayers from CHAKOLWA. If the prayers were organized by a reputable organization, YES. Not Chakolwa , Kambwili and Chama, forget. May be you just want to harm him there.
      HH, don’t go there, you don’t know these guys’ motives. They will can kill you. Why are they so worried about you not going to church. How many people don’t go to church? Let them go and pray. They have devil minds including the writer of this article.

    • @Peeps
      By the majority I mean the pipo who don’t vote for HH. He has never won an election, one can safely say the majority did not vote for him. HH is seen by the majority as ‘pompus, not one of us’. Now do you think him excluding himself and not attending prayers where a large part of the electorate will be helps??. as I said, this is all about manipulation and persuasion of the illitrate masses, who unfortunately make up the larger Zambian population. He is excluding him self. Not a good move. Belive me this is a big stick which PF will beat him at every chance.

  17. Mumbi Phiri, Davies Chama and now Kambwili have insulted Tongas and ba Rev Kamanga you have never condemned these social misfits. How come now you are too quick to demonise HH? You should stop practising the religion of “eating”. Immediately HH becomes president next year we know you will shift camp. You hypocrites!!

  18. The point people are missing is that HH has been a victim of government brutality. It doesn’t pay for him to pretend that he has forgiven while his pain is not apologized for. If i were a pastor and sane, I would encourage a secrete meeting among the leaders for them to dialogue before getting into pretense. I urge all the pastors to chew the money they have been given, stand on the roof top and shout that we are holly, heal our economy and we forgive. I also urge those who are hurting to stay home, pray for their sins, ask God to intervne in their situation until those who hurt them aplogise! It is hypocrisy of the highest order to go to the alter and offer sacrifice when you need to first say sorry to the offended!

  20. Iwe chacilecube reverend da bible clearly states dat if thy turn against thr wicked ways has yr visionless president done that nonsense waba paputi. l ll aso nt attend. Satan upon u

  21. MMD Chief Bootlicker, firstly I just hope you are aware that MMD is dead and yet you are still licking it. it shows how confused you are. Secondly even during the so called day of prayer and fasting, EL and PF will be scheming to devide the nation further. They will also be scheming how to milk the national coffers further to enrich themselves. Mismanagement of the economy is a choice and not an act of God so to say. They can declare everyday a national day of prayer and fasting and nothing will happen without deliberate good governance.

  22. @Hildah Malama (Dr)

    STOP HALLUCINATIONS.

    I am 60. HH shall NEVER be President of Zambia, mark my word unless he carries Luapula, CB, Mchinga, EP, NP, Lusaka and EP with 60% of the vote.

    For your information, our SDA Church in Mwense, Luapuala, did dedicate last Sabbath (Saturday) to pray for our land.

    RELIGIOUS OR CHRISTIAN? The book of Joel was written long BC.

    • It is not EL the perpetrator who told the Mwense SDA church to pray for the land. You can’t have the person deliberately manipulating things in his favour against you to pray for the things he has been doing and those he will do against you. bullsheet luapula premier.

    • Do not get too excited, most likely it will be 50/50 in terms of vote sharing in CB and Lusaka this time around and that is all HH needs to carry the day. Remember u barely survived by a whisker in the last election (20,000 votes) and this was as a result of vote manipulation by the govt machinery-dear,in African politics any opposition leader losing by that small margin only means one thing-that is,he has been dribbled! So if I were u, I wouldn’t bank too much on these two regions especially that there are the ones hit most by load shedding and economic mismanagement. Mulimbe ba PF in 2016!!

  23. HH shall NEVER be President of Zambia, mark my word unless he carries Luapula, CB, Mchinga, EP, NP, Lusaka and EP with an average 30% of the vote.

    NEVER. May be a Premier of NWP in a new decentralized system of government.

  24. Matthew 6:5-6

    Prayer
    5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

    JUDGE NOT……

  25. Failure to respond point-for-point to issues HH has said only goes to confirm that HH is right. Unsuccessful attempt to change the subject only goes to reinforce HH’s points. Its as plain as that.

  26. Deuteronomy 13:1-18

    “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out…

  27. @Jameson Chickens @Hildah Malama (Dr

    Be honest.
    When did your UPND address a rally in our provincial centers mentioned above?
    Why not try to carry out simple and random popularity tests of your man, HH or his party UPND countywide?

  28. Jeremiah 10:2-5

    Thus says the Lord: “Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them, for the customs of the peoples are vanity. A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman. They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move. Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”

    Matthew 15:8-9

    “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

    Ephesians 5:11

    Take…

  29. Ephesians 5:11

    Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

    John 4:23-24

    But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

    Amos 5:21-24

    “I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream…

  30. And when HH changes his mind and supports the prayers unconditionally, all his praise singers above will simply do a sommersault and change their tunes. Amazing lot these, no principles no brains.
    Wanna see for yourself just wait there is 14 days to go and for sure HH will have become wiser by then, and his praise singers will do a chameleon by 17 October.

    • @Terrible HH,
      Your failure to respond point-for-point to issues HH has raised so clearly only goes to confirm that HH is right.

  31. Kamanga , please wake up. HH says he is not going for these prayers, let’s respect that and more over HH has not stopped anybody from going for prayers. Concentrate on salvation issues and not HH, start understanding the bible

  32. To win elections you must understand strategy. At the end of the day the question is did the response from HH help his cause? Did he make himself likeable to the majority of the religious folk? HH should hire more people that understand political strategy then he will not look like an under 5

    • @cactus
      Have the illitrate masses, who are the majority of Voters understood the points HH raised??? If they have access to the Internet then they will understand.

    • Too much superstition in Zambia and Politicians are making it worse using the tool of propaganda, and of course the fearful, ignorant and gullible easily fall for it. While progressive countries are focused on ensuring that their citizens live quality lives with tangible results, and while progressive countries provide a conducive environment for technology to advance, and their citizens are equally engaged and productive and have no room for unproductivity, Zambia is distracted with issues of superstition.

  33. In Zambia people are so brainwashed by the christian faith to the extent that if you have a different stance on issue, you become an outcast and a very bad person. I’m not a supporter of any politician, but the manner in which some people are criticizing HH is quite unfair and we must look at the issue in a broader sense. HH is simply not convinced that the call for such prayers is genuine and hence distancing himself from attending. Does that really make him a satanist? There are many people who do not attend such meetings but that does not make them satanists. It is a pity that Zambians are always fooled and taken for granted in the name prayers and Christianity. I feel pity for the people of Zambia who fail to reason and think outside the box when it comes such contentious issues.

  34. The hate bitterness and anger hh is harbering in his heart is the very reason the indaba of prayers was called for. There is need to to harmony and unity. Hh don’t miss the point because these prayers means we’ll for you and Edith who have lost respect for the office of the president simply because of jealous and envy. You have failed a simple test called electoral strategy.

  35. The fasting and prayers will not be applicable to under five because a toddler will not see sense in the whole activity. Let the under five stay away because he does not understand anything about prayer and fasting.

  36. The rev is just mastaburting his ignorance in public. Is it God you are serving or what? The as the same chaps masquerading as men of God and at the same time mocking him. YOU ARE THE ONE PEOPLE SHOULD IGNORE becoz you are not worth the title. I have no kind words for you. Go to hell and burn you the devil’s incarnate. Instead of encouraging people to reconcile you are busy mastaburtig hate speech. Rev. Or whatever you call yourself I think the DEVIL is better than you

  40. Mr reverend your judgement here is bias.To my understanding the purpose for the day of prayer is reconciliation,forgiveness & healing. 1.For reconciliation to take place,people with issues against each other must be brought together so that their differences are sorted out.This is true with the tension among all the politians & their cadres as evident with what is happening in our country today. 2.After the issues are sorted out people will forgive each other(this goes both for the ruling & opposition parties) 3.Having forgiven each other,people will together seek the face of God for the altimate forgiveness,with pure hearts,bearing no grudges on each other,will then offer a prayer of faith in spirit &…

  41. @Analyst,Patrick,Kayombo & PF cronies-Under PF Leadership since 2011 todate,Zambia has witnessed unbearable & unpleasant political rated deaths,divisions,hurt-speeches,insults,violence,reckless borrowings without accountability,corruption/nepotism, & social economic meltdown never seen before in the annals of Zambian history:We call these events as “bad governance”,which leads to failed states!When you talk of christianity,believe you me,PF cronies are hypocrites!Late Sata promised to rule Zambia using the ten commandments,but failed lamentably & God had to rest him,worst still Lungu took over & the same trend is repeating itself=he wants to hide in God’s name after messing up Zambia & is still hiding euros,just like Sata & Willie Nsanda, for his selfish ambitions together with his…

    • Civilised Sam,
      For the record I do not support any of the entire corrupt PF.
      Elections are won by manipulation and persuasion, not excluding your self from large congregations of voters who are found in churches every Sunday throughout the country. Bad move by HH, he has given PF a very effective weapon to use against him. Imagine if all preachers present him negatively to their congregants Who are all voters ??.
      If this call to prayers was a calculated move by PF, they have played well.

  42. Matthew 6:7

    7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

  43. There will be no reconciliation in Zambia!As long as crooks & wicked presidents (such as Chiluba,Sata & Lungu & his cronies) keep on sneaking into state house!These were/are thieves,mafias & serial killers & would do anything to cling on power! However,the good news is that God is good in all the times,he will never forsake his true children & very soon,the downfall of diabolical PF is imminent!God will surely protect his faith children!You can not brutalise & mistreat your fellow humans for years without God’s intervention!I’m seeing something terrible after 18th:HH has no military/army, but God will use the same Zambians to fight for HH!

    • Even HH is a crook, his acquisition of his wealth is still questionable and fails to answer a simple question. There will be reconciliation whether you like it or not

  44. This simple thing over 18th October will cost HH another election come 2016. He has confirmed that he i not in any way a Christian and Zambians are watching. ECL did a just cause and a man who wants to be in state house next calls for the people of Zambia to shun prayers, how? Zambia is a Christian nation and we shall remain like that until further notice. Whoever advises HH are *****s who need to be fired, as they keep on making him lose votes. By HH refusing to attend the prayers means that he has confrimed those romours of him being a free manson, and on this come 2016 PF will capitalise on it saying Zambians shouldn’t vote for a non-Christian to head this country!! The problem with HH is that he likes opposing everything in the name of being in opposition, but little he comprehends…

    • @Bobo from Buyantashi Chingola:
      This just shows stu.pid and Ignorant you are? I thought these prayers are NOT about remaining in your so called State House!! For HH and and all sensible people – that is the least of our worries!!

      We know that as long as Lungu stays in state house, the things that have forced you to seek FAKE prayers and DEVILISH Interventions will continue: Load shedding; Freefall kwacha; Unemployment; Cost of living will be up; Hunger and Poverty shall be the order of the day!
      IDI.OTS like you dont realise that this same malaise you are praying against is actually self inflicted and from your stupidity of electing a Team of THIEVES Led by SATA and Edgar Lungu to run this country!! The Longer you keep Lungu with his fellow thieves like Kambwili & co then forget…

  45. Comment: You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. Lungu is deliberately running down the Zambian economy knowing that on 18th October God will restore the economy to its former glory. Lungu is causing untold suffering on a lot of people deliberately, allowing Davis Chama, Chishimba Kambwili and Mumbi Phiri to continue insulting and demeaning Tongas deliberately without remorse and yet this pastor wants to sound hollier than thou. Mr Pastor, if you were reasonable, you should have taken the initiative to reconcile the politicians like what Nevers Mumba did with Chiluba and Kaunda. But Because you’re a pastor in the category of prophets who turn water into paraffin, are more interested in donations from stolen money, you can not deceive me and other reasonable Zambians…

  46. REV. KAMANGA HAS TO ME CONFIRMED THAT UPND’S POSITION IS CORRECT. I INVITE HIM TO READ AND REFLECT ON HIS OWN QUOTED SCRIPTURE 2 CHRO. 7:14. HE WILL REALIZE THAT THE FORGIVENESS IS CONDITIONAL. GOD WILL ONLY FORGIVE THEM AND BLESS THEM ON CONDITION THAT THEY GENUINELY REPENT AND TURN AWAY FROM THEIR SINS. IF INDEED THE PRESIDENT AND THE MINISTERS WILL CONFESS THEIR CORRUPTION AND ABUSE OF THEIR OFFICES AND TURN AWAY FROM THEIR SINS, THEN GOD WILL BLESS THEM AND BLESS THE COUNTRY. IF NOT THE PRAYERS WILL TURN TO BE A CURSE TO THIS COUNTRY. REV. KAMANGA SHOULD TELL US THAT ON THAT HE WILL CONFESS AND TELL US WHY HE WAS KICKED OUT OF NAREP. HH AND UPND ARE RIGHT.

  47. Even HH is not a magician will normalise things just after ascending to power. The biggest thief that we have ever had in the history of this nation is not Chiluba, Kashiwa Bulaya nor Katele Kalumba, BUT HH himself!! Don’t try to twist things mune, after all you don’t even have a voters card you just a diasporan!! Its you diasporans who keep on misleading HH that he is gaining popularity by comments on ZWD and other online media when you don’t vote. We shall win come 2016 as PF.

    • @Bobo from buyantanshi Chingola,
      Your failure to respond point-for-point to issues HH has raised so clearly, and with evidence, only goes to confirm that HH is right. Using degrading language and your unsuccessful attempts to change the subject only goes to reinforce HH’s points.

    • Bob from buyantanshi,
      the diaspora have clan influence, I have told all my relatives who to vote for, I send them manee every month and they listen to me. Even if I convince 10 reletives that is enough for me.

    • Being pessimistic is being defeated even before trying. How come progressive countries with quality leaders have made their countries attractive, just because others have failed does not mean every potential Zambian leader will fail. Being optimistic is important, Zambia has great skilled leaders and people who can turn our country around using different types of feasible strategies.

    • @ Bobo from Buyantanshi Chingola. You say that: “HH”.. “is the biggest thief we have ever had in the history of this nation..”???? Really?? Do you and the PF have proof of this? Then please, for the sake of the country take this “evidence” to court! Failure to do so is condoning theft of public resources and dereliction of duty by the PF Government. (It is even worse than ‘engineering an aquittal for Nigerian Oil dealers!). It will only show that you are complicit in this theft! Maybe the truth might be that you have no proof? So those are empty words? Which wouldn’t be a surprise, when you consider the caliber of the Chief Govt Spokesman!

  48. @Bob-wonder why you have been bewitched,try chainama!Ask Kambwili,Sikaswe,Yaluma,Shamenda &Your dull President Lungu-they will tell you that you are stupid & insane,for things are not good in Copperbelt,may in Muchinga/Luapula province!Meanwhile,continue dreaming & hallucinating for winning next year & that is if you will reach there before people rise against your pathetic failed one term party- PF.

  49. Jevan Kamanga is job seeker. He tried his luck with NAREP as national secretary but It didn’t work out. He is trying to do what Kanene did to Lungu. . . singing praise so That he can also be given a presidential pardon from poverty. Nevers Mumba did a bit of reconciliation between Chiluba and Kaunda but some pastors and reverends of today are waiting for invitations for a party. Answer HH According to what he said and not out of excitement on the opportunity to pull a quick one on unsuspecting Lungu.

  50. Rev You Are Dividing Already, Why Then Pray, Firstly We Were Divided By Tribe Now By Who Is More Spiritual H,e Or H,h And The Answer Was? Let Us Counsel The Leaders And Not Judge On The Need Of Unity, I Wil Attend Prayers Because In The Mouth Of Two So Shal A Matter B Established, You Chrisian Leaders Atleast I Ve Heard More Than Two Of U, But H,e Can Not Challenge Me To Pray Or In Spiritual Matters Especially If He Is Courtn You Pastors And Witch Doctors At The Same Time

  51. H.H has not stopped anybody from these prayers. Why do you waste time condemning an open minded person. Any genuine christian will judgement to God. All you need is to reason with him and convince him. I am able to gather that he become too strong for the PF.
    I pray and worship for the nation privately and slowly God will guide us.

    Stay a blessed nation.

  52. @ MMD Chief Bootlicker
    Just out of curiousity, which MMD are you licking? that of Nevous Sekwila Mumba or Rupiya Bwezani ‘Kanitundila’ Banda. One of them is dead may be both, licking a dead carcuss.

  53. This Rev. is a Reverend of demons and not humans. Can’t you see that ELC is not for reconciliation but simply to win the simple Christians like you who believe prayer will solve problems even when it is done wrongly. HH and others who won’t attend RE VERY RIGHT. Edgar is mocking God and His people but God can not be mocked. Edgar’s heart is not in the prayers but sangomas advised him to do this so that he can win gullible Christians and that is why those who have not known the way of god are sp excited that we should go and pray. James 4:1-3;11-12 and Isaiah 58; what about Mathew 5:23-24; Mathew 18: 15-17; Simple pastors and Christians are so happy that there will be these prayers yet they ignore the word on which God answers prayers. So HH is right. You who are calling him as a…

  54. Too much superstition for my liking. Anyway, good luck to all of you who are incapable of rational thinking. In the meantime, China, a godless country will continue to grow richer as Zambia a ‘Christian Nation’ continues to go down the toilet because her people are to busy praying instead of working hard. Good luck!

  55. Cactus, I do not have to answer HH word for word, he will soon change his mind. I hope that you preparing your new response when he does that?

  56. What does ECL want us to fast & pray for on 18th Oct, 2015, for God: to replenish the national treasury, ressurect the dead kwacha & low down the prices of essential comodities? Let us wait & see what happens after their event!

    • It’s about bitterness anger hate jealous envy which the opposition is currently exhibiting. Nothing to do with economy. Get your facts right

  57. UPND kachemas re attaching a condition to attending prayers i.e Hon.Kambwili,Chama and Mumbi Phiri apologise to Tongas. I think this tells me that UPND is TONGA by tribe. This tribal and regional Party is surely unattractive because its majority re Tongas. They ve sugar-coated with GBM and Canisius Banda,but still its heavily Tongalised. What a shame!!! To form Grz badala u need to ve a national character!

  58. People or organizations should never be compelled to gather for prayer. Its a personal matter. Its ridiculous that people are quick to judge those that decide not to attend the prayers as being ‘unholy’ or nonreligious. There is no requirement anywhere in the Zambian laws or rules that anyone aspiring for leadership needs to be of faith – nor should there be this general pretentiousness that Zambians are a ‘God fearing’ lot. A number of pharisees, including Jevan Kamanga, have suddenly sprung up on market corners to proclaim that they are holier than thou.

  59. @ La liga, Bukala bwenu. The only thing that comes to your simple mind is tribe when suffering Zambians are busy trying to find solutions to the mess we are in, please don’t let me sin further.

  60. It is amazing how as Zambians we are not able to comprehend simple issues. Both those for and against the prayers seem to be missing the point and the reasons for not attending or attending are not clear. It common knowledge that there is great enemity between government leadership and the opposition and yet we need all of them to work together as Zambians to improve the well being of our people. We cannot do so if we remain disunited and at each others’ throat. For a way forward, we must first seek forgiveness, reconciliation and unity as pre-requisite for present or future governments success. It therefore important to pay attention to the call for national prayers even if they were called by the devil himself because he may have an opportunity to repent too. If we heal our nation…
