Fake Pastors Risk Having Churches De-Registered

REGISTRAR of Societies Kakoma Kanganja has warned clergymen to desist from extorting money from members of the public or risk having their churches de-registered.

Reacting to complaints by some Choma residents that fake prophets were on the loose in the district with one of them swindling a family out of K1,000, Mr Kanganja said some practices constituted an offence.

The said prophet approached a bereaved family and pledged to conduct prayers in a bid to identify a person who killed their relative. After swindling the family, the prophet has since fled the area.

But Mr Kanganja said that no clergyman registered under his office was allowed to take advantage of people seeking prayers because that was against the law.

He said churches that wanted to operate as a business should register under the Patents and Companies Registration Authority (PACRA) so that they could be paying tax.

“Asking for money or cattle from people is illegal and if such pastors are not registered under any church they are still committing an offence,” Mr Kanganja said.

He said clergymen engaging in illegal activities should be reported to the police because his office did not register churches that had constitutions which stated that they would be asking for money in exchange for prayers.

Mr Kanganja said under CAP 119 Section 8 of the laws of Zambia, it was a serious offence for people to use the church or the Word of God to take advantage of the people.

He advised the people of Choma to identify which church the fake prophet belonged to so that it could be de-registered.

Mr Kanganja also advised established churches to always register their new branches because each congregation was supposed to be registered independently.

    Cocaine damages your breathing and you can obtain a heart attack or stroke. The research conducted by Penn State also found out that there were four subgroups within the 1,000+ students which were involved within the study. Cocaine and methamphetamine not just increase your hypertension and metabolism and also reduce the capability to sleep.

    Most Kitwe women are actually so influenced by these ‘prophets’ that they have shared a lot of personal and family information and are always consulting these prophets to advise on serious business and family decisions. One Parklands woman even picks up the prophet’s daughter’s school fees without her husbands knowledge. Last year she asked the ‘prophet’ if it was okay for her to have another child to which the prophet agreed as he used to hear a baby’s cry whenever the woman visited him.

    When setting up the security in your dedicated server, you need to make certain that your entire computers on your own network all have the necessary security because any of your computers on the network might be vulnerable. Dedicated servers are a good choice if you are expecting high level of visitors, require a lot of space and wish a higher level of security. Hence, a separate server can either be privately owned or taken lease where no other second party gets to share or partitioned it.

    The one thing you are allowed to take is photographs, so a small lightweight camera can form part of your backpacking checklist. Choosing the right hiking shoe or boot can be difficult without knowing what factors to look at. So make sure you get one that is large enough to cover your back and sit evenly on your hips.

    These can occur after taking ibuprofen, but they are not probable. As a matter of fact, the kidney requires additional blood and oxygen to function normally during the exercise period. Basic use of ibuprofen isn’t destructive; it is perfectly safe and effective if prescribed through the doctor or taken for several days to ease the pain. This isn’t approved for usage in all of the countries yet though, so could be provided according to your location.

    Following the party, post photos of the family sledding event and send a challenge to friends asking each to plan a sledding or tubing party at their favorite Wisconsin hill. His grandfather afforded it to your pet before he offered and it had a considerable amount of sentimental value. “Suicide Hill” isn’t called that for no reason, it has some of the fastest, most daring slopes in the metro.

    @ shokolokobangoshe,
    Churches are not businesses or social clubs why compare churches with bars and political parties. Look at the influx of nigerian pastors. They ve all smelt money.

    Church is now business,when you see Nigerians in the forefront ,know there is money.Miracles fyabufi,they stage them.Imagine paying for prayer.One zambian pastor in swaziland has got a laptop,for records, where he checks how much someone has paid before he could offer a prayer!!!
