Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili has challenged the church to rise up and take their place to curb the cases of adultery in the country.
Reverend Sumaili said churches need to ground the people with the word of God so that they know that adultery is sin.
In an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka, Reverend Sumaili said adultery is immoral and people should not indulge in it.
She said marriage is Biblically sacred and is a covenant between two people which should not be broken by anyone.
Reverend Sumaili said people should not depart from cultural values and Christian beliefs as they are principals which strengthen a home.
She said there is a gap which the church has to strengthen because as people are now in the habit of modernizing issues.
Meanwhile, Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) says the churches need to change their methods of teachings in the marital syllabi.
ZCCB Communications Director Winfield Kunda said the training of couples in churches is not enough for them to face marital challenges.
Fr. Kunda said couples lack commitment and understanding hence find themselves committing adultery.
He encouraged the public to be morally upright by refraining and restraining themselves from sin.
Last year Zambia recorded 28,000 cases of divorce and some reasons being infidelity.
Meanwhile, A Ndola Clergyman has attributed the increased moral decay among young people in the country to lack of home spiritual leadership.
Pastor Gaverson Nyirenda of Pentecostal Assemblies of God in Hillcrest said pastors and parents should take a leading role in preparing young men and women to be responsible adults.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS Ndola this morning, Pastor Nyirenda said parents and the church should partner in ensuring that youths are brought up in a manner that is pleasing before God.
Pastor Nyirenda observed that the increased moral decay among the youths in the country is a reflective that churches are not doing enough to disciple their members.
He said the Christian populace should not be passive when societal evils are happening but take a leading role in addressing them.
Pastor Nyirenda said it is unfortunate that a group of young people calling itself Sons of the Devil was arrested in Kitwe for engaging in criminal activities adding that it is the duty of pastors to teach young people the word of God.
The Pastor has further appealed to the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) to come up with national youth programmes aimed at incorporating all youths countrywide so that they are kept busy at all times.
The useless minister of the pointless ministry!!
Nostradimus can you please take care of business.Give this sexx hungry woman the taste of your big anaconda so that she can stop hallucinating about sexx…everytime she opens her mouth she talks about kenyenganaa..
Watch this space…next she will issue out the allowance length measurements of women’s skirt…an utter waste of taxpayers money this lady useless as they come!!
Can you ask a thief to curb the stealing in his community?
She has to be seen to be working, even if it means uttering nonsense non-stop, to justify her upscale ministerial salary.
Stoning would be the best option… but since Jesus said the sinless should cast the first stone, lets just leave it at that. Hon. Minister. Its a losing battle
This woman too much nyele…if she’s not talking about sex then its adultery…these are signs of wanting some
Chachine my brother there are so many sins in Zed but she only focuses on sex sins. Does she know the 10 commandments?
What the hell is wrong with Ba Fridah kanshi, if it is not sexx toys then is adultery.
I really respect church elders, but if it comes down to romancing, I have no barrier.
Something is going in her romantic life.
Church is supposed to discuss THEFT by PF “civil servants”.
In Bemba they say ‘umutombwa takosha ukulu’. Frida mutombwa!
Madame Sumaili, has this country not got more pressing issues than adultery? you perplex me, a waste of our tax money a waste of space to create this ministry. when are you going to speak out about the rumpert plunder and thefts and corruption, when are you going to advice your government to stop stealing from the poor. woman you enrage me with your lack of morals.
She is in a cabinet of morally bankrupt chaps and she wants to lecturing us!!
@Kubweka
You can imagine..Zambia as a country is going through some serious challenges right now and Godfridah is busy worrying about who is f*cking who or who is f*ucking what. Like i said it before this woman needs someone to give it to her big time so that she can keep quite…Nostradamus am told can handle her. Take a close look at her eyes too much nyele right there
I dont think what the minister said is wrong , really the church need to teach what the Lord taught in his teachings . It is sin that separates man from his creator repentance is the gospel for our generation and not the now popular prosperity gospel.
The true gospel is repentance not how much money you make , Jesus said you shall know them by their fruits ; adulterers shall never see the kingdom of God ; peter taught that without holiness no one will see God .
Sin is trensgression against Gods law church where sin is accepted as away of life is deceiving member who feel comfortable as they continue in sin .
This is the craziest ministry Zambia has ever come up with. How many people does it employ? Who gave Lungu permission to get my tax and give it to such hangers on?
This ministry should fall under culture as a sub dept…this woman can not justify her budget ..again the lazy one error-ed here!!
I have followed with keen interest the Salacious themed utterances of this woman whose oven is certainly still burning with limitless desire. When she addresses these matters she speaks the truth. Unlike many pastors who avoid tackling the issue like anathema, she is imploring us to always have sex on our minds and to reach resolution by imagination (master..bed), play and prey(Technology) Help thy neighbour, they could reciprocate( Uchende) etc. She knows better, afterall priests are the biggest violators of the 1st basic commandment. Behind that kitenge dress theres knowldge, power and experience!
And, on the other hand her Administration is breaking families and family values by separating spouses of the perceived opponents by transferring them all over the Country, leaving families divided?
Ms. Sumaili
Why not challenging your fellow Cabinet and General Assembly members to desist from adultery?
this ministry makes a good opportunity to reduce cabinet.. meaningless. Or does it reflect the level of our mentality as a people?
the truth is u can never have a female pastor, prophet or teacher not in history of Christianity! the office of the elder-ship there is no woman: 1 Timothy 3v1-7
Ala mulinenchito Ba mayo….from sex toys to adultery! From my work study lessons decades ago, I remember that workers who have nothing to do tend to tire themselves more than those who have work. So what’s up next, hon. minister?
women can only teach fellow women! let no woman stand a teach the word of God in presence of men for a man was created first, not to mean women are inferior, but that they should remain submissive to men!! Sumaili sin is what u are doing, exhorting ur self above men!!!! deal with that…..
is that the reason your ministry was created..?shameful..you need to stand down..immorality is high under pf
“A group of young people calling itself Sons of the Devil”: I think their parents should be arrested for being devils
Was this not the same minister who was caught red handed with another man while she was still married to Dr Sumaili?
