President Lungu urges the nation and families to dedicate this Easter to praying fervently for Zambia

Share

President Edgar Lungu has urged the nation and families to dedicate this Holy Week and Easter to praying fervently for Zambia and the rest of the world for God’s infinity mercy and healing on all COVID-19 patients.

President Lungu said, unlike the past, this year will mark the Holy Week and Easter behind closed doors with our families.

He said the commemoration this year is even more significant as the world grapples with COVID-19 which has claimed thousands of lives and left millions infected.

“During this time, may we remember our brothers and sisters who have died across the globe due to COVID-19. My deepest sympathies go out to the bereaved families across the world who have lost their loved ones and together with the family of our beloved citizen who lost his life to the pandemic”, he said.

The President said in the midst of this pandemic, as a Christian nation, Zambia joins the rest of the world in commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“Let the commemoration bring about renewed hope, trust and faith in God. This is equally a time for self-introspection”, he added

President Lungu also urged Zambians continue to take precautionary measures against COVID-19.

  2. ”President Lungu said, unlike the past, this year will mark the Holy Week and Easter behind closed doors with our families.”

    That is how Easter should be spent to begin with. People need to be with their wives. For once it is nice that Zambians are sober and raising their children. This is a time to put sense into a lot of these delinquent young people. This covid is a bad thing but has become a blessing in disguise. Logical people please speak on this, not the usual PF and UPND dander heads.

  4. Wht has religion done for Edgar Lungu? It has not stopped him hating. Does he really believe in it or it’s just a camouflage?

  5. We need prayers no doubt. But we also know that God has bestowed brains and a free will equally unto all mankind. All countries around the world are facing the same challenge but it is the action they take which will determine how and when they come out of it. It is up to us to do all that is necessary in our capacity as Zambians to overcome this crisis.

  6. Great leaders never cower in times like these they need to test Corona illness like Boris has in the UK. Come out of your hiding and mingle with people in the market area jump on crowded buses too and see if there is nothing wrong going on.

  7. A good shepherd tends to his flock but at some times must fight off the wolves too. But for Lungu he seems to be tending to the flock but runs away when the flock needs him the most when wolves attack. Change ba lungu for the better.

  8. Let this moron save his prayers for Eurobonds repayment…he just gave a huge contract to foreign textile to supply 42000 simple prison uniforms and the moron prays when Zambian manufacturing is collapsing.

  9. A sustainable society satisfies its need without diminishing the prospect of the next generation.
    Love is the hallmark of a genuine Christian.
    The pf regime is illegitimate in power.Time and tides awaits for you.

  10. Am-apweeling to all to not forget 42-for-42 and gassing and that flathead who talked of dull lawyers! There, that should keep you busy for Easter! Wash your hands, stay away from one another and keep sharp!

  11. This cabinet meeting was very emotional. During the prayer you could feel the holy spirit in the room. Ah jesus is powerful. When the president said amen I could feel all my sins were washed away. We thank you ba president. I am spending easter with my family and enjoying family time. I am on dry April and.wont drink in this month. I feel very healthy. Kz

  12. Zambians should be fade up of begin asked to pray while those asking them are full of hate. Chiluba was the same, now we hv the same, awee!! We can’t be praying while we are staving ad them belly full.

  13. KZ for you, you must have mistaken the evil spirit you were feeling for the Holy spirit. I doubt if you have ever felt the Holy spirit in your life, please be attentive the next time you feel it so as not to mistake the identity of the spirit you were feeling.

  14. Useless president Edgar Lungu, you’re the devil’s advocate no difference with Judas Iscariot, whom do you want to lie to!? Preaching love outwardly but inwardly a vicious wolf. Leaders are judged by their character and deeds. Today, you pretend to be a Christian and yet you are anti christ. Shameless leader. Repent and apologize for your deeds. Shame on you!

  15. You have closed prime tv and the wokers children wont feed and u God will hear u? brief us on master minders of gassing, 48 houses and y increase loard shedding when kariba is fullest? 2021 come fast we want some uku zinga.

  16. Fortunately the Bible says “we shall know them by their fruits ” and another passage of scripture says “not all who call me Lord will enter the kingdom of God”. What PF is simply trying to do is ask thistle tree to bear apples or oranges.

  17. You exam leak reporters and editors where was the president speaking? A news story needs to answer the five Ws. Where? Is one of them. This story just begins with he said continues with he said and ends with he said.
    Yayi tavutika

  18. Inonge Wina, can this women pay us back all the money she is been drawing as salary cos clearly she has failed us a vice President. What is her job title Kanshi? She cant even be left to act when the first monkey is out of the Country. Yaba….Its long overdue this Vacant job position needs to be filled, ASAP!

  19. Above image shows contrition.
    Contrition it’s not just forgive me God, or showing remorse but it’s forgiving prime TV. Because that takes a lots of strength. Contrition drains you. Contrition is forgiving oneself. That’s my definition.

    Above image you have set precedent. that establishes a principle or rule. That will be used by the court or other judicial bodies use when deciding later cases with similar issues or facts.

  20. Always asking Zambians to pray whilst Bandit President Lungu and his government are busy stealing and wasting taxpayers money….the entire cabinet made up of Bandits

  21. Anyone directing you to God is blessed. You can call President Lungu all sorts of names but disregard his message at your peril. Any nation that needs healing must turn to God and pray. God bless you your excellency and thank you for your message of hope.

  22. Let’s all pray to God that He should rescue us from this criminal and murderous regime called PF. That He should take these criminals away from the corridors of power and destroy their ill-gotten wealth. Brethren, understanding that God hears our prayers. So let’s all pray for a good government.

  23. Edgar Lungu you were given an opportunity to manage the affairs of our land, but you have failed lamentably!
    People have been praying every day for a better Zambia but your greedy and selfishness has made the lives of many Zambians to be in more misery than we were before you became president.
    Corruption is really deadly. It is because of the corruption you have entertained all this long that our economy has completely crashed! Just look at how our currency is plummeting Mr. President. Are you proud of the weakening of our currency? Why are you now firing some cabinet ministers who are busy giving you ill advice hence making you an under performer?
    Come next year in 2021 we want you OUT because you have destroyed our economy. You have turned majority of Zambians into beggars. You…

  24. President Lungu was chosen by God and I think like the Chinese did, they should make him life President. He is humble and very prayerful.

  25. mmmmmmm pempelo muikonda bamudala…!!! 48 houses,loadshedding,mukula trees,private jet,fire tenders…ETC..NAPITA

  26. @IT SUCKS: Surely it’s become boring talking about the 48 houses when the issue is even in court. Refrain from your addiction of fake news and hate for Edgar Lungu/PF. What a life, hate kills!!

  27. We are praying dangerous prayers to God, so that who ever ever has stolen from us Zambians will never have peace. Thanks Mr president for the encouragement. Soon our prayers will be answered. Fire to all the thieves, let them die without enjoying the stolen loot!

  28. Do these lot look like they are praying ? Their mind is full of evil intentions and closing prime TV .This government is worse than covid-19

  29. FOOLES AND SEMI CONCIOUS LEADERS IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES. COUNTRIES AT THE TOP, BELIEVE IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BUT AFRICANS LOOK UP TO SUPERSTITION LIKE RELIGION AND PRAYERS.
    SOME DONKIES HAVE A LO TO LEARN, NO WONDER THEY ARE AWAYS ASKING FOR KALOBA FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT PRAY.
