Kitwe District Commissioner Chanda Kabwe has appealed to Kitwe residents to turn up in numbers for National Prayers on October 18 regardless of their political affiliation.

Mr. Kabwe says the prayers are a national event which all should attend following its declaration by President Edgar Lungu last year.

He says October 18 is meant for prayers and worshipping God and not for politics.

Speaking in an interview with ZNBC News, Mr. Kabwe says prayers in Kitwe will be held at the Copperbelt University in the Multipurpose Hall starting at 08:30 hours.

The District Commissioner has also called on chain stores and other retail outlets to release their employees for national prayers.

And Mabumba Parish Priest, Patrick Kabaso of Mansa district has urged Zambians to remain steadfast in prayers.

Father Kasabo says there can only be one leader at a time and citizens have a duty to pray for President Edgar Lungu and his administration so that the country overcomes its economic challenges.

The clergyman was speaking when he delivered a sermon at a Church service in Mansa this morning which was also attended by Mansa Central Member of Parliament Dr Chitalu Chilufya.

Father Kabaso further encouraged Zambians to pray for those in the opposition in order for them to have God’s guidance in the affairs of the country.

He said elections are over and now it’s time for all politicians to rise above divisions and preach peace in the spirit of one Zambia one nation.

Father Kabaso also thanked Dr Chilufya and the PF government for prioritising provision of health services in Luapula district.

Dr. Chilufya is in his constituency to check on developmental projects and address meetings in the area.

  1. We want to hear the petition, then we will recognise lungu.

    It’s like a theif steals your car then this priest says let’s pray for him to do good taxi bussiness with your car…..

    • What a batch of hipocritic idi00ts, you spent the last 4 months meming people, killing, stealing public resources via the so called marketer empowerment, telling all lies-as a mother party of pathetic unrepentant liars……….and today, playing holy?

      Anyway, that can only happen in Africa, were people are taken advantage of through religious matters…….

    • Religion is a tool to control the mind and a means by which man’s life would be control in a desired purpose by the conquerors. Hard to believe but there is no such thing as a God anywhere,you reading this is a God so am I too,if my 5 senses can’t prove the fact of the imaginary God existence then there’s no FACT!!!!!!!. I could go on and on but the christians would think am mentally disturbed because am overloading their mental nerves LMAO.

    • Out this prayer madness will come hate for christianity because its now tied to Lungu ‘s corrupt regime. Lungu and his PF are now using christianity as an opium to sooth the pain PF is about to unleash upon Zambians.

      After sponsoring violence and murders with impunity he has bought pastors to go out and exploit poor ‘s vulnerability to force people to accept the PF madness.

      THIS UTTER HYPOCRISY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. FROM PRAYERS TO PLANS ON HOW TO STEAL MONEY FROM POOR ZAMBIANS.

    • Complete foolishness. He stole only in 6 provinces and not in Southern , Western and North-Western–Show your PVT or forever hold you peace..

    • If there really is a God then the door to that right path is under Lock and key considering the level of evil and impunity in the world and God still sat there looking like he’s waiting on Zambian pastor to briing everything in order.

    • As a matter of fact, a very great number of Pastors, priest are actually atheists who uses the bible to make money.

  2. Ignorance is bliss. Religious used as the opium for the masses in this case. How pathetic

    • More bullshiìt for religious retards to feed on and begin to pray even harder and fast for longer whilst their lives and immediate enviroment show no signs improvement.

  3. let us learn to be serious when debating issues concerning Christianity,prayer is a strong weapon which can be used to defeat evil, corruption,and bring justice

    • chilufya; the corruption is worse now so please pray harder because the evil under PF is something that has never been witnessed in our country before but mostly pray for justice because it was denied HH and the UPND;

  4. SATANISM IS TO DO WHAT IS CONTRALLY TO THE WILL OF GOD. INSULTS, HATRED, KILLING, ARRESTING PEOPLE FOR THEIR OWN FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, TRIBALISM, INTIMIDATION, UNREPENTANT SPIRIT, ETC.
    I NOW WONDER WHEN ONE HATE TONGA AND OTHER TRIBES AND CALL HIS OWN TRIBE AS SPERIOL AND OTHER TRIBE INFERIAL COULD CALL UP A MEETING OF PRAYER WHEN HE OR SHE DOES NOT LOVE. LUNGU HAS NEVER AT ONE TIME CALLED HH FOR RECOCILIATION AND WANT TO PRETEND THAT HE LOVES GOD. WHICH GOD WHEN HIMSELF HAS PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP HIM.

    WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SPEAK ON PRAYERS? RESEACH AND IF YOU WILL NOT DISCOVER THAT THE DECLARATION OF DAY OF PRAYER IS IN CONNECTION OF 666 OR HYPOCRICY.

  5. We want to hear the UPND petition. It does not matter if HH never becomes president what matters is the purge of the raping of our young democracy and setting a president of disputed elections is forever banished.

    All avenues to prove the vote was not stolen must be exusted for future elections.

    We don’t care about HH becoming president it is stealing of votes and the abuse of elections that matter for future generations…..

  6. How can you have a national “day off” on TUESDAY? For no reason except ati “prayers”? Who is going to do the essential jobs that keep the nation alive? Is there some kind of tokoloshi that come and complete your critical and essential jobs while you are busy praying? Our country is quickly becoming a joke

  7. prayer is good. but does God hear Lungu and his henchmen prayers? what are they praying for. they are daily harassing the opposition or anyone who says something negative about PF. Women have been undressed and citizens have been injured or killed. why are those who are praying remained silent to these abuses? God will not hear their prayers.

  8. Has anyone noticed that not a single amputee has ever, ever, had a limb restored due to prayer or any other religious miracle ?

    This ‘god’ must either hate amputees, or is totally incapable of restoring lost limbs, in which case his so-called omnipotence and benevolence is a fallacy.

    So, why call him ‘god’ ?
    Why would any sane person worship an impotent deity ?

  9. @Non – delusional, God does not operate according to your timetable or any man for that matter. What God is doing is working in the midst of this fallen world by sending his Son and showing the way of salvation. Does God hate people who have no limbs for one reason or another? Absolutely not. Why doesn’t He heal them? I do not know. Why did Jesus raise only 3(?) people from the dead, yet there were more than 3 people who had died during his time on this earth?I do not know.
    If you and I can understand God beyond what He has shown us in the Bible, he ceases to be God. In other words, to the extent that God has revealed himself in the Bible, that is the extent we will understand Him. The impotent god that you have reasoned out in your posting is not the God of the Bible but the god of…
