Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili has vowed not to entertain magicians in the country disguising themselves as prophets, saying Zambia is a Christian nation and not a magician country.

The Minister’s comment comes after Renowned South Africa based Prophet Shepherded Bushiri dared her to try and stop him entering Zambia on Wednesday for his planned visit.

Prophet Bushiri, while addressing his congregants at his Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church in South Africa last evening, dared the minister to stop him from entering into the country upon arrival at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport like they did to his spiritual father Prophet Ubert Angel of Zimbabwe.

The Malawian born prophet is warning the Minister of Religious Affairs that she will know the consequences of messing with a true man of God.
Prophet Bushiri also lashed out at Bishops, Joe Imakando of Bread of Life International and Bishop Joshua Banda of North Mead Assembly of God.
He vowed that despite receiving unofficial resistance, he will still travel to Zambia this Wednesday.

But Reverend Sumaili says it is unfortunate and unfair for Bushiri to curse, speak death, and accuse innocent local bishops who have nothing to do with the measures government put in place.

She says a true man of God and prophet will not curse and will not force himself on a country, adding that powers of darkness thrive on instilling fear.

  1. These are real sons of the dark world. The devil himself. Just listen to his tone of voice. These *****s can’t be true prophets. That’s good minister never allow hh gods to mess up with our country.

    • Rev godfridah sumaili, this is not the way you fight for cashing from unsuspecting Christians, why are you scared of these magicians? Have they made inroads on your turf and you beginning to have less cashing? Just up your game, this what business is all about, you don’t kill competition, you just offer better products and services than what they have and people will flock to your product. Competition in business is health, and when did God appoint a Bureau of standards for salvation, solely headed by Christians for lungu?

    • I really wonder why even educated people believe in these conmen as Prophets. Christ warned against these lovers of money. A true man of God will not charge people a fee to do God’s work. Some Christians are really dull. You call magicians as Prophets meanwhile they are stealing your moneys in broad day light?? Continue believing in these men of gold at your own peril. Me i believe in God and Jesus Christ only!

    • Hon Minister and that prophet you are making claims to be the representative of the truth. How come you are both judging each other? What does the Bible say about judging one another.

    • Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili should IMMEDIATELY have the fake Frank Bwalya arrested and BURNT AT THE STAKE!

      Come on madam, EARN YOUR SALARY!

  2. Pitani kwanu ku Malabi achimwene. Katayeni vinyanga mu nyanja ya Malabi ah Mwene. Translated: Go to your Malawi and throw that juju into Lake Malawi.

  3. is their anyone wise enough. on the presidents advisors. to tell him that we voted for him to emprove the economy and not to stoop so low as even to appoint a minister just to say this one is fake. pastor this one is not and we are. spending. thousands of kwachsas of tax payers money on her ministry

    • You’re forgiven for talking about something the seriousness of which you clearly don’t understand!

    • ZAMBIANS should NOT entertain dull political cadres masquerading as “Ministers” !!!!

      Lungu and his PF have destroyed our economy, borrowed BILLIONS in kaloba, and this dull woman thinks Zambians are as s.t.u.p.i.d as her!

      Maybe they are, for accepting such rubbish and her getting PAID WITH OUR TAXES for such nonsense!

  4. why should people start fighting on religious matters?,
    And for how long are we going to continual in such nonsense?
    let GOD be true.

  5. What “national guidance” has this Godfridah woman offered? I don’t think she even knows what constitutes a “christian nation”.

  6. AFTERNOON MY FELLOW LEADERS, YESTERDAY I WAS SO SHOCKED AND I DISMAYED WHEN THE MAN OF GOD PROPHET BUSHIRI PUBLICLY ATTACKED OUR MINISTER OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS ON THE DEPORTATION OF HIS GOLD FATHER ; PROPHET ANGEL FROM ZIMBABWE.HE WENT ON TO REMIND THE TWO BISHOPS NAMELY NAMAKANDO & BANDA TO STOP MISLEADING THE MINISTER AS HER DAYS ARE NUMBERED AND SHE WILL PROVE HER ACTIONS IN THE TIME TO COME.PROPHET BUSHIRI HAS VOWED TO COME TO ZAMBIA SO THAT HE TOO CAN BE DEPORTED.PROPHET BUSHIRI WAS SPEAKING ON HIS LIVE PROGRAMME YESTERDAY 14.05.17. I ADVISE THE MINISTER TO REFRAIN FROM PLAYING WITH GOD’S CHILDREN.

  7. Religious Matters are hard to regulate….For example what is the standard of the land to know who is worshipping a true GOD? We have Pentecostal, Catholics, Anglicans, SDAs, Jehovah Witness, Zionist, Hindus, Buddhist and Moslems., Witchdoctors in Zambia…
    Can The Minister tell us that those worshipping on Sabbath(SDA) or Friday (Moslems) are not right in their order of worship?
    What is her premises of barring so called fake pastors as some of these churches belong to founder churches outside Zambia? Can a pastor form America belonging to SDA, Anglican ,Pentecostal, or the Pope be barred or allowed in Zambia ?

    • christains believe and worship their God and also believe that JESUS CHRIST IS the sinners saviour and their saviour. the diffences among christians are doctrinal but essence they believe the same; that God created everything, including you and Jesus cam,e to restore the fallen man to God. whatever belief that does not believe this is not christian , bro no matter how good the name sounds.

  8. The first masquerade is Sumaili herself calling herself Reverend. How does she explain these two scriptures to her fool lowers 1 Corinthians 14: 33, 34 and 1 Timothy 2:11,12? Actually, even all the false prophets listed in this article will gnash their teeth when Jesus will tell them that he never knew them and that they are workers of lawlessness Matthew 7:21-23.

  9. Comment:
    One wonders whether Rev Sumaili has had opportunity to watch in real time the sort of divine anointing Bushiri is endowed with. This, sadly, is the kind of attitude and irrational conduct that has driven TB Joshua away from Africa to the Holy Land, Israel.

  10. Please madam Minister stop the nonsense you are doing.zambians have rights and freedom to worship.why allow visitors for Bishop mwiza and refuse entry to Prophet Angle. Do all Zambians believe the doctrine of you the super bishops.

  11. Shepherd Bushiri is a man of God, take it or leave it. And those of you so called bishops in this Zambia, how many of you are able to lend money like Bushiri does? Sumaili, Zambia is not your country, it belongs to us all and you cannot stand up on our behalf. You rob us in broad day in high taxes, tarrifs, etc and you dont stand out to speak on those issues. We have freedom of worship so leave us to worship and follow any man of God we think is good for us. why talk about our hard earned money. We have the right to spend it the way we like. chakubaba nichani? as for me as long as you never took me to school and i dont get paid from your pocket, i will spend my money the way i feel if it means me taking my salary to Bushiri so be it. so mind your space and watch your downfall. i will…

    • You sound like another magician masquerading as prophet or man of gold or indeed dull christian entertaining these magicians. The Minister is 100% correct. This time Zambia is no go area for conmen or witchdoctors performing fake miracles. Why do these witchdoctors fail to go to hospitals to heal the real sick people there?

    • At least madam Getrude you go willingly to spend your money,others are doped into believing that their sickness will disappear.This guys are no different from those drs who offer solutions to everything in life even recalling lost lover.You are right on the freedom of worship but you should also understand that government is also there to protect citizens.Imagine if cults are allowed to thrive without control.

  12. Mmmmm….Im reminded in the bible how Jezebel was using her position as wife to Ahab the King to go after the lives of the Prophets of that time. Could it be that the Jezebel spirit is at work in the corridors of power? Im just thinking ?

    • Mmmmm….I’m reminded in the Bible how there were false prophets that arose in Jeremiah’s time and they led many people astray, and Jeremiah stood up to them and told them what they were, that is people who were using incarnations

  13. Malawi needs you more than we do Bushiri,give us a break sir.We have enough problems of our own…..we also have more than enough pastors,evangelists,reverends,bishops,fathers,sisters,apostles,prophets,prophetesses and magicians.So go pray for your own as we also pray for us,thanks.

  14. Zambian people, learn to understand issues first before condemning the government’s action. Prophet U. Angel was chased away from his own country and still in exile, no Zimbabwean made noise. Bushiri himself was denied an entry into Botswana two weeks ago and no Motswana is making noise. Prophet Bushiri has already issued some threat to Botswana, Zimbabwe and now Zambia. There is no smoke without fire.

  15. Zambians workup. It’s not everyone you should open your bedroom door for, lest they deflower your wife.
    Zambia is a developing country and part of the critical ingredience in actualizing this development is the human capital which as a country must be nurtured into intellectual capital.
    These African brothers disguised has Men of God are infact not these servants of illuminates like The Rothschild family and the like.
    The Minister is correct. We should not expose our vulnerable youths to such elements lest we risk producing the same undesirables.

  16. Zambia doesn’t need those foreign prophets there are enough prophets in Zambia.
    Go to Malawi and walk on air , or sell anointed water.
    Let Zambia be pastored by zambians, money doesn’t make someone a servant of God.
    Satan has more money . Jesus said the son of man no home to live in .

    • jesusneverexisted.com
      Religion is nothing but a scam.
      Even the bible declares that god is satan(Isaiah 45:7).

  17. Freedom of worship means you can worship anything. This means you have the right to worship the true God and his son who is our savior- Jesus Christ or any other thing you wish to worship such as a stone, a mosquito, the devil etc.

    Christianity will be considered fake if human beings will be the ones protecting God. Madam Minister, just encourage the preaching of the Gospel extensively. Let other religions including whichcrat to thrive if you believe that God himself protects us. I don’t think you will manage to physically protect each and every Zambian individual from satan. It is not your Job

  18. sumaili are you playing God now. what science are you using to judge so that we are all on the same page, as far as we are concerned you are now a politician. state what verse supports your new role in Government. we know which powers you are protecting.

  19. Minister please stop playing God ,you’re nothing but human. The bible says thy shall not judge so please don’t site in God Almighty’s chair. Leave judgement to God. Where are you getting the powers of deporting people.

  20. Read Mark 13: 21-22 about false messiahs and false prophets. They use fear when their true motive is to peddle the word of God for profit.

  21. Much as Rev.Sumaili maybe wrong,the fact is many of the current men of God are businessmen or simply put magicians.they are very few who are preaching the True Gospel!!!
    Look Juses Christ came to save sinners so that they can enjoy everlasting life in Heaven.but many pastors today do not preach about Salvation.they care more about the current life on this sinneful Earth than in Heaven-which is wrong!!
    TRUE GOSPEL IS PREACHED IN CHURCHES SUCH AS CHRISTIAN BRETHREN(C.M.M.L),UCZ,SDA,REFORMED CHURCH.but in many pentecostal churches,sorry mostly its all about money,marriage,healing of diseases,getting jobs (or in short,pentecostal churches focus on good life on Earth)!!!
    SO YES LET GOVNT CONTROL THIS SECTOR TOO.THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT FOR SALE BUT TO BE PREACHED FOR FREE TO SAVE LOST…

  22. Prophet Shepherd Bushiri visited us in Nakonde last year and we enjoyed the message. Honorable Minister All I can advise you is just leave him alone. if your judgment is that he is fake then people will not attend his meetings. Let it not even bother you madam. Just stay away and don’t go there. But if he comes to your home or your church then chase him. Hold your peace madam you are not God of Zambia but a nominated MP and not appointed by the people.

  23. Zambia is a Christian Nation & my Prayer is that for you to be a minister of Religious, You need to be sensitive on matters of spirituality.. There are 5 fold ministries madam Minister. You need to know & understand the role of Prophets and Apostles according to the Bible. If some minsters are lying to be its up to God to expose and judge them. People have the right to choose the Servant of God and were to worship. A servant of God has the right to submit to whom God has to him to submit. The scriptures says touch not my Anointed & do my Prophets No harm. Get good advisors Madam ministers and not the ones with selfish church doctrine on Prophets. When we mess up with Prophets, the punishment may be terrible. Remember stories in old testaments. Just my thought and advise. God bless Zambia.

  24. The Minister shows herself to be a mentally deficient example who should be committed to the nearest mental hospital. Why the job of religious minister doesn’t work to arrest all religious preachers pushing that fraud is probably because someone has to channel money to their friends.
    The Minister should be arrested and jailed for impersonating sanity.

  25. Can the Government quickly tell and define the role or jod description of religious affairs minister. It appears Madam Sumaili does not know what her role is. She thinks she was appointed to define a Church doctrine for Zambia. Madam you are violeting the Constitution which has guranteed every Zambian freedom of Worship. You have to right no right to choose for me how i should worship. If indeed the Prophets you are mentioning are magicians then i dobt your faith. Either you are the one being used by powers unknown. Can you surely compare the sanakuwa kadansa’s to Prophet shelpahrd Bushiri. To you this prophet is a magician. Madam do you realy watch prophetic Cnanel. Do you the testimonies that take place there. Then stop all Zambians travelling to South African for that…

  26. Spiritual battles are not fought physically but spiritually. Whether Prophet Bushiri and Prophet Angel are satanists or not, you can not fight them physically. Prophet Elijah prayed and the rain stopped for three and half years. If indeed God has reviewed to some men of God anything sinister about these prophets, the best route would be to stand in the gap and block them spiritually. That is the reason why Prophet Bushiri is daring you to stop him because spiritually you are beaten and therefore you cant stop him physically.

  27. Comment:
    You shall know them by their actions,I urge you all Zambians to be prayerful you will stop judging people anyhow regardless of their political affiliation.

    • When religious people waste their time talking to themselves humanity is spared their ongoing damage.They should pray all the time for everything.

  28. We have had enough from these prophets,bushili has a human boss called angel instead of Jesus Christ…and by the way is he forcing him self on the country which he doesn’t belong to?,if the authority does not welcome you,it’s to back off…you who need him follow him to Malawi just like others do to tb Joshua,they follow him to naija.
    (Am not judging)

  29. no one choose for me who to worship or not, you can stop him but you cant stop us from attending his church
    the kingdom of God is not about competition its about completion where Jesus left he go ye therefore and preach the gospel not gossip

    • If you are foolish enough as to want to join a death-cult and waste your life, go for it.Still you should know that religion is a scam based on lies and greed; lacking honesty, decency and morality.

  30. Patriotic Zambians please be alert and be filled with the Holy spirit in order for you have the eyes of your spirit. Some UPND officials have been mentioned to be satanist more especially its president. Spiritually can’t you see that those magician preachers wanting to come to zambia have a planned and organised motive to come and perform satanic rituals in order for their member be released? And more over, why is that GBM and his president they dont pleasure in Worshiping God? not even at one time? These are some of the signs-
    Nothing like politics by the way I am a non partisan but a strong CHRISTIAN and a follower of JESUS though I am not righteous. ABASH FAKE PROPHETS AND MAGICIANS OF THE DOOM WORLD.

    • Bragging about your mental illness is a little bit foolish.
      Zombies that walk on water have never existed.They never came back to life after they died , either.
      Religion is a disease.You need to find a cure rather than trying to infect humanity.

  31. Hon. Godfridah, thank you for saving the poor from these “proohets”
    Zambians need the measage of Salvation not to be told the colour of their bedroom carpets as prophecy.

  32. This woman has a form of godliness but denying its power (avoid such people.2timothy 3:5
    Prophet Angel and prophet Sherperd are men of God. They preach the true Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth with manifestation. And it is biblical. You have to repent. because you are attacking annointed on. Be careful woman!! Do you think a many of numbers who follow their ministry are foolishes and you are wise.
