Former Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs, Godfridah Sumaili says President Edgar Lungu is happy that the church has collaborated well with the government in executing the country’s programs.
Reverend Sumaili says this is the reason the voice of the church is critical on national matters.
ZANIS reports that Reverend Sumaili was speaking during a meeting with the pastor’s fellowship in Mongu district of Western province today.
She said President Lungu is aware that the church has ensured that people are kept morally upright and that it should continue to preach peace.
“The voice of the church has been coming out clearly on issues of national interest hence President Lungu saw it fit to collaborate with the clergy in running the affairs of this nation,” Rev. Sumaili said.
“We are in an election year; the church being in the forefront should ensure there is no violence, insults of demining each other, character assassination. The church should be summoning politicians involved in politics of violence,” said Rev. Sumaili.
And Jesus Anointed Ministry Overseer and advocate for the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation, Billy Mfula said the functions of the church have been enhanced by President Lungu through the creation of the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs in the country.
Bishop Mfula said Zambia is poised for economic recovery because it is a beacon of peace in the World.
“It is now 30 years when Zambia was declared a Christian nation. This is a great year for Zambia, as it has reached maturity to demonstrate its achievements,” said Bishop Mfula.
Meanwhile, Western province Pastor’s Fellowship Chairperson, Alick Kalonga appealed to both President Lungu and Vice president Inonge Wina to shepherd the people of Zambia in peace and love during this period of campaigns in the country.
Reverend Sumaili is in western province to encourage church leaders to preach peace during this campaign period in the region.
WHY ARE THE THE POLICE BLOCKING THE OPPSITION
WHILE YOU ROAM FREELY AROUND THE COUNTRY
AND LT WHY DONT YOU SHOW US PICS OF THE PRESIDENTS DISASTERESS TRIP TO CHIBOBO KABWE AND KAPIRI
Ba Sumaili you are called to win souls for Christ and not to be a puppet of a government. Do not be lost because of the things of this world
Edgar China Lungu happy with the church? Not HALF as happy as the church leaders are about the “empowerment” they got from Lungu!!! I don’t know who is MORE CORRUPT, Edgar or the church!
LT ,
Why are you not reporting blocking HH in chipata ?????
LT
REPORT HH ARRIVING IN CHIPATA
Chipata ?
?
Why block the word chi.pa.ta ????
Godfridah Sumaili has no shame at all
Why should my partners at LT report about an insignificant c0ckr0ach like hh who was creating unnecessary scenes defying police orders. He is lucky the police are patient. In other countries by now he would be locked up with a swollen ugly mouth
Why isn’t Lusaka Times reporting on the force being unleashed on HH and other citizens by the Police in Chipata and Malambo, to try and stop him from going anywhere? Teargas in Malambo and an attempted blocked at Chipata airport. The CK’s, GBMs, etc. in the meantime can address rallies anywhere without hindrance.
Kaizar Zulu in other countries HH will be accorded secret service because he is about to take over the reins from your corrupt inept in congruent vision less leader in ECL. Check that….I want you to be arrested for nonsense after Aug12. We the Zambians will petition.
A Sumaili do you serve God or Lungu…which one. If it is God you ought to stop this nonsense of talking nonsense….. no message at all. If it is Lungu, quit being a woman of God and just continue to be a PF surrogate forever. But in this case You are blood guilt and you know what I mean. You masquerade yourself as a Reverend and then also a politician for PF. Just remember your Kant is old. Go and take care of grandchildren of any.

Ati, Edgar the thieving useless worst president on earth who Bankrupted a country is happy with the church, I am really lost for words…. Pathetic Foools party
Trying to create a constituency through the church is as elusive as roping chiefs in so their subjects can vote a certain way. ABemba akuti ifinkula si teto Saulosi?
CHIPATA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS PF DOING
PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA PF HAS TO FALL
Bana Sumaili if you have read the bible very well that liars shall not enter the kingdom of God. Judgment will begin in the house of god. I think you will be the 1st pa line. You are just a hypocrite trying to please mr Lungu. Remember there is life after politics. Do you even think about what you say before you say it. Tekanyeni bana Sumaili. Your children, grand children and other relatives are reading and will be reading this.
