BREAD OF LIFE CHURCH Regrets 11/19 Incident, Describes STORM As DEMONIC
BREAD OF LIFE CHURCH International regrets the incident that happened on Sunday 19th November 2011 during the Dedication Service of the Blessing Centre which left one person dead.
The church says “During the special service just when Presiding Bishop Joe Imakando was about to invite the guest speaker Pastor E. A Adeboye to preach and dedicate the building, a strong storm came in from the eastern side and blew off a piece of the ceiling which hit one of the members severing his face. The Elders rushed him to hospital, unfortunately he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The demonic storm also left a trail of destruction in the neighborhood resulting in roofs rippled off, security walls brought down, loss of lives, trees falling on a car to mention but a few.”
“As Bread of Life Church we wish our deepest condolences to the entire church family in general and in particular the family of Mr. Arton Nyirenda. We also pray for the community at large and families in the Emmasdale area whose properties and homes were also damaged by the storm.”
Bishop Joe Imakando took time to thank the people for the support and solidarity they had shown.
He encouraged the church and the body of Christ to be steadfast and strong during this period.
Bishop Imakando informed the church that the leadership are in consultation and will soon give an outline on the state of affairs and way forward.
“The dedication of the Blessing Centre was a very significant occasion for the church in Zambia as it was a statement of God’s awesome presence in the country.” “The centre is a beacon of hope for many, a symbol of God’s sovereignty, a landmark in the city of Lusaka. It is no surprise that the devil would try anything to destruct or even discredit and put the church in disrepute. In all things we give glory to God,” said the church.

never heard of such a thing as demonic storm, you have started to brainwash ignorant poor people with your rubbish.
Your only interest is to squeeze money out of their pockets and brainwash them more to keep them coming back with more money.

The church it self is a DEMONIC CHURCH that will bring a lot of destruction in peoples lives. Soon the pastors of that church and similar ‘MIRACLE CHURCHES’will start witch hunting and finger pointing between families and friends. That will bring hatred and suffering to the falsely accused.
BEWARE OF THAT MONEY MAKING DEMONIC MONSTER CHURCH You have been Warned!

Something evil that started in Nigeria is spreading like a deadly virus all over the continient especially in the so called ‘christian nations’
Children as young as toddlers are being Denounced As “witches” by Christian Pastors usually from ‘Miracle Churches’ such as this.
There is an increasing number of children accused of witchcraft by pastors. Who are then tortured or killed often by frustrated family members.
These pastors take literally biblical exhortation:-
‘THOU SHALL NOT SUFFER A WITCH TO LIVE’
Such pastors are renegade locals of international franchises, then ask for money from family members inorder to ‘cleanse them of any witchcraft’ (to perform exorcisim) that have befallen the ignorant families.
It’S A BIG DANGEROUS STINKING BUSINESS

I do see anything wrong with the explanation of Bishop Joe Imakando. All he was saying is that a bad thing happened. He was just being figurative in his expression. This is the problem with you simple minded boys and girls. when you complete a fist degree you think you know every thing. Tomorrow you will be the the first to knee before the same Bishop you are insulting pleading, that you get prayed for because you can’t get a job or that you have been fired. I do not go by the business of betting because it is not Biblical this time i can bet just to prove you other wise. Meet me at the entrance of Blessing Centre on Sunday to prove me wrong,( all of you who have wrote nasty things above)
May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob continue to Bless and Keep Bishop Joe Imakado and all be members in Bread of Life in perfect peace. Peace be still because Jesus is in control! in JESUS’ NAME, AMEN!

While it is everyone’s right to worship through any church of their choice, it is unfortunate that many unscrupulous people have taken advantage of the beliefs of the majority to become extremely rich. Their lavish lifestyles are mainly funded on the backs of the poor who turn to religion to bring comfort to their lives. I personally know some of these false men of god who are quick to turn their backs on those they milk once the ‘money supply ceases. One pastor who was brought air tickets to fly to south africa for regular holidays vanished as soon as his benefactors financial position changed and was never heard from again! While we cannot tar all churches with the same brush, a significant number exist purely for the benefit of the so called Bishop, pastors or whatever title they bestow on themselves.

This is for the simple minded. Yesterday in Ndola Chifubu, a Catholic church’s roof collapsed as a result of a storm.Houses also had their roofs blown off. it was fortunate that no life was lost. May i question simple minded boys and girls if this was another substandard building as they claim; money making business in any way? For Tumfweko News aswell go and investigate what happened. If it was Bread of life branch in Ndola then it could have hit your headline but since it is catholic building, it is OK, it is normal!!

The Bible says touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm.Bishop Imakando insulted Prophet TB Joshua that he’s a SATANIST.(2)He has bought himself a luxury HUMMER when widows,orphans and the vulnerable are suffering.GOD is ANGERED WITH BISHOP IMAKANDO.REPENT and do the right things in the eyes of God.

Mr Real man do not display your ignorance on theology to the people on this forum. we all believe in God, we are sorry that happed at your newly contructed church. but we resfuse to be insulted just because we do not subscribe to your bread of life. All we are saying is we need to be careful with some of these pastors, if your pastor is in that group tough lucky for you. start looking for a better church. period.

I’d like to ask is, why were they taking that person to UTH when they claim to perform miracles? They could have just called holy ghost fire. Ha, ha, ha. Oh I see, they couldn’t, they are fraud. Also that person was being taken to the MORTUARY, and not for treatment or whatever they claim.

These are signs that though the followers are ‘sowing the seed’, Joe isn’t plowing it back to the communities. I expect bread of life to run a good school, but they don’t yet their children go to Northmead Assemblies of God School ! Widows and orphans in Bread of Life do not matter as long as the Bishop is well pampered ! Can’t you see the burning bush imwe ba Bread of Life blind followers ?

Its rainy season Bishop and you tend to get strong winds and thunder storms! You and your church should be charged with murder resulting from gross negligency……just because you are a church does not excuse you from ensuring that your buildings are secure and did you even obtain a certificate of occupancy from the the LCC? Demons the new witchcraft……. the reason for all things bad!

The point here is that building is not complete,its an offence to occupy an incomplete building without the required documentation. That’s why lusaka city council have sued these guys.Now the question is should the law turn a blind eye because they are men of God?

What’s amazing is how gullible these ‘pastors’ believe we all are. If God was so cheap, do you believe that he would simultaneously reveal himself to Imakando, TD Jakes, Benny Hinn, Chiluba and all the others in one day, as they all profess to have personal encounters with him on almost a daily basis. You may not not agree with me but the storm could also be Divine providence to warn pretenders that God is all knowing. When the time comes we will all be judged as equals. Those who wish to assist Imakando acquire more wealth are free to do so but remember that no amount of money is worth your soul.

By the way did Pastor E. A Adeboye run out of “MIRACLES?” He was supposed to show his healing powers by saving the victim’s life.
I feel very sorry for the victim and more so very very sorry for all your BLIND followers who can not discern deception from the truth……

It seems all of you are really living up to being African lol …you really want someone to blame? typical African style.. EVERY ANSWER is in the Word, NO WHERE ELSE. Blame yourselves for the lack of Gods presence in your lives otherwise you would not be insulting. Whatever happened at Bread of Life is a matter of the church…
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Matt 7 v 6; It is simple you cannot discern with your simple minds what is spiritual whether bad or good.
There are very fundamental facts we can sum up this equation.. Light does not mix with Darkness, My people die for a lack of knowledge. My sheep know my voice and I know them and they follow me….
If you surely want to hear from God for your lives repent first, hear from God, then you will be qualified to comment on this, not this ranting.

How many other building have been occupied without notifying the council. Are you telling me council has suddenly got capacity to inspect unfinished structure.How come no one was taken to court when a metal object fail from the unfinished building on Katondo street killing a baby on the back of its mother, and a man recently jumped to his death on the same building where is the council in these circumstances ubufi ba council ati tolebomba. Why do we have so many unfinished buildings in the central business district are you waiting for someone to die before you move in. God bless you Bishop all the destructors including the storms will not succeed to suppress the voice of God. Demons or no demons Blessings centre will succeed. Keep up the good work bread of life. Iam not your member but i believe in what you are doing Bishop. I know where you are coming from when it was Christ is the answer Christ he is still on the throne and is with you. Praise the Lord and Remain blessed.

Ba James Musonda its not about bread of life pipo are against or the bishop no, its want happened. Lets examine ourselves in line with God and his values. Were have we gone wrong with love for other pipo, orphans, widows, venerable, or just concentrated on the uppers only etc. the bishop hears from God he should have been warned. God does not embrass his pipo and a church is a place of liberty and God sovereignty prevails and such should not happen for the devil should have no room fire everywhere.Let our Bishop resubmit himself once more to God for in our weakness we are made strong, well last Saturday preaching was awesome well and also for himself

I do not blame all of you for all your rantings and ravings,i blame it on the Zambian past and the african way of living.If that building was constructed by donor aid or any foreign nationals we would all say our sorrys and move in.But since this isa building built by indeginuoes zambians ,people with a vision any form of failure is highly condemned,no wonder most of us with all our degrees and diplomas will remain employee(abanchito).Instead of us being saddened that somthing heavily funded ny zambians had a small crack in the ceiling ,we resort to what we do best critize in the morning,in the afternoon ,even sleep critizing while we do nothing.anyway am not surprised.You call bishop a satanist are you sure?a satanist can lead people to God.A satanist whose program of hour of blessing has brought alot of encouragement to many irregradless of status.
is a hummer the world’s greatest treasure,did the manufacturers say that pastors not permitted to drive them.lets grow up.Even Jesus was accused of casting out devils in the name of Satan.Did that make him a satanist?If that was a night club none of you would be speaking!!!! let us change our mindsets lets the only way Zambians will do something big.Engineers will begin to make needeles,doctors come up with their own medical formulas.Remeber moses was spoken against by his own sister what was the result?Be cafeful all else you get a curse on yourself.am behind bishop imakando and the ministry of bread of life.

Ba Real Man, if you are a true believer, you should not insult those who you think is ignorant. Teach and make them understand and lead by a example. Thats what Christianity is all about. What is happenning now is a prophesy fulfilled from the book of REVELATIONS. Jesus Christ warned us about false prophets and people will be lovers of money and power. Look at Peter, John, James, Paul in the Bible, these men dedicated their lives in saving soul and they never had riches..they set an example of how servants of God should be…I expect servants of God to be pure hearted and not lover of worldly pleasures. People of God, open your eyes and be careful. Jesus Christ left us with the Holy Spirit so that we should not be orphaned. No man will take you to Jerusalem (Heaven), only your faith in Jehova God and Jesus Christ will do. God’s ears and eyes are open to everyone that calls His Name. Don’t be mislead by these pastors, they are not special and our God is not a God of favourites…we are all his children. He says, call out my name and i will answer you..God is good all the time. Amen

If wat u re saying is true then we have lost our the way of the Bible, @Real Man confirm if this is true for me! Did any of the apostles ask the followers how much they had for GOD? If that was the case then that poor woman who gave wen Jesus was there wudnt have given! It seems we re slowly losing it in the name of prosperity! Let us stop pretending and go back to bible times…./…
