President Lungu Concerned With False Preachers

Share

President Edgar Lungu has raised concern over a new movement of deceptive preacher men that are sowing seeds of discord in the country.

And President Lungu says the confusion on the Copperbelt is largely being exacerbated by fearmongering and superstition coming from the new group of false preachers.

The Head of State has since called on the Church to help government to identify t false preachers and those misleading the people.

President Lungu said this during the first sub region Consultative Meeting of Bishops from Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe.

Meanwhile the President said Government has witnessed a growing and worrying trend of men of God getting embroiled in partisan politics.

President Lungu said that Church leaders are not supposed to take political sides but offer guidance to all the politicians.

He said the Church is an institution where all Christians, regardless of their faith run to for counsel.

President Lungu has since thanked the Catholic Church in Zambia for helping the vulnerable without discriminating against anyone.

The Head of State said his government will continue working with the Catholic Church in order to improve the well being of the people .

Speaking at the same event Zambia Catholic Bishops Conference President George Lungu said the meeting is as a result of past consultation.

Bishop Lungu said the meeting will find ways of how the Catholic Church can further it’s agenda of Evangelism.

He said the meeting will also explore way a of pastoral collaboration among the local churches in the three Countries.

And, Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Gianfranco Gallone said the Bishops should not forget that their main duty is to preach the gospel.

He also said Bishop should also push politicians to work for the common good of everyone in Society.

  1. “President Lungu said that Church leaders are not supposed to take political sides but offer guidance to all the politicians.”

    I wonder if this message is applicable to “Christians for Lungu”?

    We shall see.

  2. The root cause of people beliving prophet preachers is because nealy all Zambian leaders belive in witchcraft , that is why prophets find fertile minds to con people.

    There is no developed country where witchcraft is believed, only all borderline failed states surviving on aid all have strong beliefs in witchcraft. Is this a coincidence ???

  3. Your excellency , we discussed this issue over the weekend and I am glad you have spoken on it. There are a few angry rotten souls trying to bring confusion within our society. We are a Christian nation and no evil shall prosper. We remain resilient in jesus name! Kz

  4. For more than 10 years or more I have been busy warning people especially Zambian blind followers of fake prophets like makando, TB , Bushili and the rest
    So Lungu just realised now, that , SEER 1 is threatening to expose the voodoo users in the goverment?

    WHEN I WARNED PEOPLE ABOUT THE FAKE PROPHETS THEY CALLED ME EVIL
    THAT I WILL GO TO HELL FOR TALKING BAD ABOUT ”THE MEN OF GOD”

  5. Just give him back his things and leave him alone. Most of us have been insulted on this site and other platforms for calling out these prophets and how suddenly the Old Testament has come ali e in Zambia. Tepapa like the Bembas would say.

  6. Talk about your Ministers who Engaged SEER 1 for powers to be confuse Zambians and not see their incapability. They should all RESIGN.

  7. You emboldened them by declaring yourselves as a Christian nation, now live with the consequences of your stupidity!

  8. How about that thin malnourished Drug peddling false PF loving prophet Julius Amata?
    All is okay as long as he shouts ba J0na nafuchi nafuchi 2021?

  9. Sorry Mr. Lungu, almost all preachers in Zambia are false preachers and no one can measure up, or is equal to the task you are asking the church to do ………identifying false prophets….. 99.9% are fake, running fake churches. Just strengthen the rule of Zambia and live by it.

  10. 2021 I will not celebrate because HH Will have won the elections according to the will of the people. But I’ll celebrate because taxes will go down. The economy will be in good shape. PF idle worshipers will be dealt with accordingly. Edger shut the F. Up.

  11. Let ECL send his people to listen in to sermons from Pentecostal churches that hv emerged in Chipata compound just after the clinic on the edges of the main Lusaka drainage canal. He will be shocked. This is a big problem. As usual ECL only reacts after his political party got caught.

  12. We hear of lots of witchcraft along the corridors of political governanace your excellency. We also have heard of a group of professed clergy calling themselves Christians for Lungu among the leader is our fallen former Deputy Minister and sole proprietor of the defunct DUNAMIS fire impact(wondering how the church of God can vanish into oblivion). How are we addressing these issues your excellence?

  13. What Nevers Mumba posted yesterday on social media is very true. He said God can use anything including false preachers like seer 1 to expose how the political elite use blood and human sacrifice to attain political victory. Like Nevers said if at all some politicians have had no connections with seer 1 why should they worry? So if at all seer 1 is telling the truth let him expose them. Let him prove to us that he gave those satanic powers to whoever for them to win elections

  14. Did you MP GOT some help from SEER 1 ? If so let them apologies if not let PF sue SEER 1 in court of law to prove innocent.Nevers Mumba say God can uses anything to reveal things. So if PF MP are clean in 10 days let them sue SEER 1 for deformation of character.If this not done Zambian will concluded that PF MPs did got do I say and later pay seer $300 000 to zip his mouth since PF are corrupt.

  15. THE PF ARE ALSO FALSE PROPHETS PROMSING PEOPLE PROSPERITY BUT STEALING IT RIGHT FROM UNDERNEATH THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. How can any serious leaders be embroiled in nonsense such as this ? Aren’t there pressing issues to be tackling in that country? There is poverty, corruption, ignorance, lack of education, etc, etc. I am so bored with this “christian nation and seer” nonsense!!

  17. All of these evils in the world and Zambia in particular come from the Catholic Church. God is angry with the clergy for abandoning the One True Church position and in tolerating other so-called churches and religions as if they were true. They’ve promoted this idolatry through ecumenism and religious tolerance and in so doing our land is under a curse; just look at the bad leadership that we have! No blessings come forth because the Eucharist is desecrated.
