  1. Ninshi all the tithe you are fleecing people is not enough. You even start making fake money and blaming satan

  2. Advise 2them, just endorse mmd&rb u ll get real dola 4rm tax payers. Pastors!

  3. “Men” of God who use God’s word to steal from their members. Some of these churches, their leaders are so much into financial blessings hence such happenings.

  4. maybe the church has turned into another form of financial market murshrooming everwhere like political parties or is that the word of God has been turned into big business. shame on them . This attitude of not wanting to be led but to lead is killing our country and has resulted in many political parties and churches being formed. At the end of the day you have such pastors

  5. Signs of the end time. May the coming of our Lord Jesus draw nearer. 

  6. Those ma surnames dont sound zambians or maybe i need to be corrected

  7. Late P.K Chisala called them POLEPOLE. Lovers of money and not God. Who will inspire us to depart from our life of sin?

  8. Professor PK Chishala sang that Lesa alasebanya ilingiline pameso ya banthu! This was in Ba pastor’s song. Shame on these tum young pastors who used the church as employment and not serving the masses. Ya kunyokolani!!

  9. Jesus didn’t say few people will be deceived,but(many people to be deceived because of the same posters,find matthews 24:5; 7:21-24).So they deceive people in the church by telling them not to take bribery and in some other ways. It’s the filfulment of 24:5,no other time and watch out you guys!!
