President Edgar Lungu says nothing will heal Zambia from the emerging political violence unless Christ fills the hearts of politicians with love.
President Lungu says when one’s heart is filled with Christ, there is love, understanding and tolerance, which cannot lead someone to cause harm to a fellow human being.
The president said this in the morning when he attended a divine church service at Healing Word Ministries International in Lusaka.
The president who was accompanied by first Lady Esther Lungu called on the church to help politicians feel accepted whenever they attend church services so that they get convicted with the word of God and become better persons.
President Lungu noted that the church has continued to play a critical role in the country’s political affairs and this role should continue.
He urged the church to pray for politicians so that those who come to services with sinister motives are prohibited by God and change.
President Lungu further said once the church continues to play its role, Christianity will spread to the political arena and violence will become a thing of the past.
The Republican President also reminded the church’s influence it has in the country, and spreading love was important to healing the country and unite everyone.
He implored the church to continue according politicians through visitations, church services and other settings so as to spread the word of love and peace so that others learn.
And the President Lungu has appealed to the Patriotic Front party members to be messengers of peace. He said the party does not take pride in causing harm to another person in the interest of fulfilling a political agenda.
He said it should be the duty of every party member to preach peace and lead as an example of good messengers.
Among others who accompanied the president was Health Minister Dr Chitalu Chilufya and State House Minister Freedom Sikazwe
A mad person does not know is mad even in death, lungu is disturbed in mind and it can only take spiritual intervention for him to be straight, his the origin of that same vionlence , than which love is he referring to.
Lungu is essentially saying that violence will continue until Christianity spreads to all parts of this country. President he will do nothing but wait on the magic effect of Christianity. Folks we are gonna be up all night.
If you knew anything of Christ’s love, our country would be in a far better place. You wouldn’t allow, champion and defend corruption and plunder of the national resources. You wouldn’t be buying mansions in swaziland or buying private jets, while hospitals have no medicine, and civil servants remain unpaid. You wouldn’t protect corrupt and violent people like Chitotela, Kampyongo, Kaiser, Munir Zulu etc.
This is mocking God. But be assured that scripture says “God cannot be mocked, a man will reap what he sows”. Your time to reap will come. Just wait.
You shall know them by their deeds not words.
I hope president Lungu could start by stopping inflicting pain on opposite parties, stop his cadres from maiming people with pangas and address rampant corruption in PF then his call to mention Christ will have meaning and impact. Pretending to know the love of Christ when you cannot show love is as good as taking a sleeping person in a coffin to church to pretend he has resurrested because prayer. How can the nation experience Christ healing when Amos Chanda can insult on behalf of president Lungu?
Lungu now has resorted to insulting God and I can assure him that things will not end well for him very soon.
If he gets to the end 2019 he will very lucky as the wolves around him will devour him very soon.
Lungu is just too weak to clamp down on violence for in all honesty it is orchestrated by his own party! Stopping it is a governance issue and respecting upholding the law! All it needs is an order a decree that the institutions mandated to maintain law and order do their job without fear or favour and bias! No party should import cadres from other jurisdictions which have elections! Otherwise can someone explain why local party structures exist? The buck stops at the president’s desk and I do not understand the timidity keeping him to continue skirting this issue! Lungu just can’t lead he better stop making statements to the effect at religious groupings for the message churches carry is for all across the nation to lead exemplary lives in likeness of Jesus! Mr President stop the…
Lungu is right, the hatred displayed by haluza you wonder whether he knows Christ. That’s why he shans national prayers that haluza with his malicia-totoise looking follower
Lungu, today its christ love, after 30seconds its satan love, you are the origin of political vionlence.
“….President Lungu says when one’s heart is filled with Christ, there is love, understanding and tolerance, which cannot lead someone to cause harm to a fellow human being….”
So hour heart lungu is not filled with Christ, all prayers you call are fake…
You are the one person who can stop this political violence with one phone call, but you and your gangs fear of losing power prevents you from stopping the violence….
That’s double-speak Mr. President; you’ve defied the purveyors of Christ love, by trashing the church-led dialogue, but you are now shamelessly talking Christ love.
Where you really stand on anything, kaya 🙁
A fool doesn’t know he is a fool. Mwanawasa just said if you fight you are on your own and political violence was over.
Hold it just there Mr.Pretender! You have many a time incarcerated your fellow Zambian leaders (even though yourself you are not Zambian) in opposition for their divergent views on governance. Do you call that Christ’s love?
You are Mad!
There is nothing in this speech. Its one of those documents/speeches in the State house Library. I have heard many of these since 1964. please SELL all your PANGAS Mr. President, turnoff your Tear gas, STOP the violence and stop shooting at innocent Zambians.
contd…… violence by powers vested in you as an elected leader and leave the churches to do their calling! If leaders are chosen by God it means God mandates them to do what is necessary for the good of the people they lead and when this does not happen and they lose leadership positions then who removes them?
Lazy Lungu talks as if he is a by stander …the man knows nothing about leading …just good at dancing!!
Aba bena bapuba kwwf.
Thou shall not be tempted to believe that religion is opium for the poor
The real key to ending violence is getting rid Pf and lungu.
Alaaa ba under5 you are busy attacking the Head of State, The violence you are speaking about mainly occurs in your strongholds, Check the upcoming by elections in Luapula Province it will be peaceful because people in that area are civilised. Mark my words.
This fuulish man does not know he is the one holding the instrument of power and not Jesus. Jesus is not in the Zambian government. Jesus has never been on the Zambian ballot iwe chi Lungu. Commander in Chief wabufi. Kabolala.
Christianity is the wrong religion to bring peace! There is no Christ in this man made religion that has a dark bl00dy history. Wars have been fought in the name of God! Persecutions, burning at the stake, the inquisition, etc! If Christianity has failed to unite so many of its denominations, how can they bring about meaningful dialogue process? The violence should be blamed on the so Called Commander in Chief who has time and again abdicated his responsibility to just issue a command to the Security wings to deal with violent groups irrespective of which party they belong to. We know violence starts with PF!
Was Christ a thief? Stealing from the offering pot!
