Defence, security hold Day of Prayer

Share

Defence and security wings today held a Day of Prayer at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Lusaka that was characterised by preaching, song and prayers.

Zambia Police Head of chaplaincy, Chombwe Kayando, in his homily said prayer is an important tool for Christians that enables God to intervene in situations that may be difficult for man.

Rev Kayando, who based his preaching on 1 Samuel 7: 7-14, called on the nation to continue praying to God for his intervention in the economic hardships that has hit the country Him to rescue the country in the same way He rescued the Israelites from Philistine attackers after they prayed.

He said instead of complaining, Zambians should constantly engage in prayer because fervent prayer brings victory.

Rev Kayando further appealed to defence and security personnel to continue praying for the country’s peace which he said should not be taken for granted.

He appealed to all Zambians to stop politicising prayer and seeking quick answers to their prayers because God is faithful in answering prayer.

Rev Kayando expressed confidence that Zambia will recover from all the challenges it is currently facing because of the prayers the country has been conducting regarding the country’s economy.

And Scott Mwanza of the International Prayer Warriors, who is also the founder of the Defence and Security Day of Prayer, said there is need to appreciate the work that men and women in uniform do for the country.

Bishop Mwanza said without the peace that the defence and security wings maintain, it would be difficult for the Church to freely preach the Gospel.

He urged the nation to appreciate the uniformed staff whose work he said goes un-noticed most of the time.

  1. I’m sure their commander in chief gave that order before he went to hide were ever he is in the jungle Lungu should stop playing with God to play on voters minds.

  2. ‘,,,, instead of complaining, Zambians should indulge in constant prayer because blah blah and blah’
    Bad bishop or pastor, your advise should have read, ‘ instead of complaining, Zambians should indulge in constant HARD WORK’ because hard work is the most effective way of glorifying God. He gives you five talents and wants you to multiply that to ten. That’s what we were taught in Sunday school

  4. Yes Zambia will recover from the challenges we are facing but only when we have kicked out the cursed leadership of the visionless drunk.

  5. YOUR PRAYERS ARE NOT GENUINE BUT FAKE. YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPING THE TRUE GOD BUT JUST OBEYING THE ORDERS OF YOUR HUMAN BOSS, PRESIDENT LUNGU. YOUR BOSSES ORGANISED THESE PRAYERS TO PLEASE THEIR COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN ORDER TO EARN HIS FAVOURS. THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO PLUNDER UNNOTICED BUT NOTHING IS HIDDEN FROM GOD.
    ARE YOU SURE THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING, UNDER THE COMMMAND OF PRESIDENT LUNGU, TO THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA IS IN LINE WITH THE TRUE TEACHING OF THE BIBLE? ARE YOUR BOSSES, THE PF LEADERSHIP, OBEYING THE CHRISTIAN COMMANDMENT “TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF?” WHILE THEY HAVE STARTED CAMPAIGNING ON THE COPPERBELT THEY DO NOT WANT THE OPPOSITION TO GO AND CAMPAIGN THERE. IS THAT TO DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE THEM DO UNTO YOU? UNDER PRESIDENT LUNGU, THE OPPOSITION PARTIES ARE…

  6. CONTINUED: …DENIED TO BE COVERED BY THE PUBLIC MEDIA TO WHICH THEY CONTRIBUTE AS CITIZENS. IS THIS CHRISTIAN LOVE AS TAUGHT BY THE BIBLE? MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM EXAMINE YOUR CONSCIENCE. YOUR PRAYERS ARE JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY.
    DON’T PUT YOUR TRUST IN PRESIDENT LUNGU BUT IN GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS: “IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN THE LORD THAN TO DEPEND ON HUMAN BEINGS. IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN IN THE LORD THAN TO DEPEND ON HUMAN LEADERS. PSALMS 118:8-9. PRESIDENT LUNGU IS JUST A FRAIL HUMAN BEING WHO WILL NOT LAST BUT GOD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, EVERLASTING. HE IS ALL POWERFUL. HE BRINGS INTO BEING WHAT DID NOT EXIST. HE MAKES WATER FLOW FROM A ROCK.

  7. PRAYER IS IMPORTANT. THIS IS ONLY DONE ONCE IN 365 DAYS. SO UPND (FREE MASONS) SHOULD NOT WORRY. THE DEVIL FEARS PRAYER. IT SHAKES HIM DOWN TO HIS VERY CORE. WHEN CHRISTS DISCIPLES WENT OUT IN VICTORY, JESUS SAID HE SAW SATAN FALL DOWN FROM THE SKY LIKE LIGHTENING. SO THE DEVIL WILL NOT STOP US FROM PRAYING. COME ON MEN IN UNIFORM, GANG THE DEVIL DOWN THE STREETS OF LUSAKA. SMOKE HIM OUT OF HIS HIDING PLACES.

    • PRAYER TO A TRUE GOD IS GOOD BUT PRAYERS TO PLEASE ECL IS A WASTE OF TIME. SINCE WHEN DID THIS CHAKOLWA BECOME A SPIRITUAL LEADER? WAS HE ELECTED TO BE SPIRITUAL LEADER? IT IS JUST A DIVERSION OF ATTENTION FROM THE PROBLEMS THE COUNTRY IS FACING. BUT NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES TO DIVERT PEOPLE’S ATTENTION FROM THE REAL ISSUES, THE PROBLEMS WILL NOT BE DONE AWAY WITH. THEY WILL STILL BE THERE AND EVEN GET WORSE.
