Again Lazy Lungu spewing rubbish he doesn’t believe in one bit….I wonder how much he bribed them!!
CHURCHES SHOULD FIRST COUNSEL THEIR OWN PASTORS
FOR THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT GOES ON
if a politician already knows that he or she has to promote peace why urge the church to counsel him or her on matters he already has an idea about? THis like a student telling his parents to counsel him to always study when that should come naturally when one is a student, same applies to politicians, once you become one, all thoughts should drive towards having a peaceful environment to achieve your aims.
But PF needs some serious counselling on how to run a healthy economy.
For as long as the so called “Christian nation”was declared by a person who had a hidden agenda,we shall not see the true values of the declaration itself because most of the thieving government officials they use it to blindfold we the citizens of this wealthy nation to to enrich themselves and their poorest families.For if the people of Zambia do not change their mindset towards the so called Christian nation Norm,the politicians and three quarters of the so called “men of God” are conniving to symphony our money without fearing the ALMIGHTY GOD.
Let us be careful as a country for it is written that you shall know them by their own selfishness and deeds.
Aristotle- the man has absolutely no leadership qualities….he can say that to UCZ he knows they are in his back pocket. If churches called for interparty talks today he would get annoyed.
