PF Explains Lungu’s Call For Prayer, Fasting
The ruling Patriotic Front says it is unfortunate that some international media organizations are misinterpreting President Lungu’s call for tomorrow’s national day of prayer and fasting.
PF Media Committee Vice Chairman Sunday Chanda says Mathew Hill, the Zambia Correspondent for the New York based Bloomberg News, has sent out a misleading interpretation of the National Day for Prayers and Reconciliation.
Mr. Chanda explains that in his report, Mr. Hill claims President Lungu has called for prayers seeking divine intervention in the volatile Kwacha.
Mr. Chanda has informed Mr. Hill that Zambia’s struggle for Independence was anchored by a relationship between God and the country.
He furthermore explains that the freedom fighters such as Zambia’s founding President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda and his generation of gallant citizens looked to God, prayed and fasted and this has been carried down to all subsequent Presidents.
He says Zambians will recall how Dr. Kaunda usually called National Days of Prayer for peace and unity, under the One Zambia One Nation banner.
Mr. Chanda says Mr. Hill would be wise to know that part of the reason Zambia had a bloodless transition from one party rule to multiparty democracy in 1991 was because the church had a pivotal role to bring the ruling party UNIP and main opposition MMD leaders together to pray and reconcile.
He states that further, President Chiluba declared Zambia a Christian Nation and this is enshrined in the Zambian Constitution.
He says the PF is not like other political parties such as UPND which fail to recognize the importance of Prayer and Reconciliation in the life of the Nation.
The PF Media Committee Vice Chairman furthermore states that the call by President Lungu for National Prayers on the 18th October 2015 has been heeded to by all the Church mother bodies, traditional leaders and majority of Zambians.

JEHOVAH God, let your mercy, love and glory fall the nation as we come before you today. I pray for your SHEKINAH presence to dwell among us as we gather to seek your face. Protect ALL the leaders whom you have allowed to work among your people in Zambia. Cause our heart to grow in love, tolerance, and long-suffering. Teach us to bear one another’s burdens. LORD, help us to unite even in the face of adversity because you have said it in your word that “if we are united and in one accord, there shall be NOTHING impossible for us”
May your WORD be true for US today.

My bro. This is how Christians in this country behave. Even 2 hours in church it feels like one big happy family then wall out the church door, it is different. do do not be swayed by Kakolwe’s prayer, might just be one of those common ones that sublime.

God and satan are spirits. God and satan can only do things through human. Eg satan used a snake in eden and Herod to stop the work of jesus God has just used lungu to call pipo to pray. Its not lungu of PF day but God. politics and false prophets carried us to a point where we almost forgot that there is God. Today there is no ruling or opposition we are all God,s children

Kaunda was a freedom fighter who became an oppressor. zambians as you pray you must do some retrospective searching to find out why we have found ourselves in thi situation. it is very clear that successive regimes in our country have trvialised the barotseland issue. hundreds have been arrested and RB for one took it further by killing 19 people in 2011. surely with all those atrocities how do you expect God’s favour? God deals in a partcular manner and no amount of politcking will change his way. the blood of those innocent barotse nationals has cursed our land. like with Cain after he killed Abel, God too is asking zambians ‘ where are your brothers, sisters,etc’ ? our answer ‘ no, zambia is a christan nation o God ‘. strange and funny.

Sunday Chanda can not sleep or open his asshole without mentioning UPND as if its UPND causing all these economic miseries & bad governance practices in their backward leaderships!Any sane Zambian will question KK’s regime & Chiluba’s regime apart from this Lounge Lizard,Sunday & his idiots in PF leadership.How do you mention fasting & praying in KK’s & Chiluba’s reigns in relations to mysterious deaths of people such as;Gibson Chigaga,Nkumbula,Kebby Musokotwane,Penza,Paul Tembo,Boldwin Nkumbula,major Wezi Kaunda & many others amidst your so called fimofimo!Even Mwanawasa was lucky to have survived that failed road accident assassination!Many people have been killed under PF & others have been called all sorts of names & accusations amidst your reign!Believe you me ,Zambia will become more divided than ever after today’s smoke screen fastings & prayers!

This prayer and fasting is being conducted at the expense of an already exploited poor common citizen who even has no food on the table and has to struggle if is to get some on the table. Leaders be fair and considerate

NEZ careful with your comments have seen that you mock God . One thing you should know is that we have prayed . Am not a politician neither do I support any party but your stance in the things of God is the downfall of your hope. Do not mock Christians that cried before God . If you think the people who were praying are all politician then u cursing yourself because we experienced His presence yesterday over this great nation . Satan get off this land as we dedicate it unto God . God bless our nation .

The Missionaries used the Bible to deceive Africans. They came with the Bible in their hands & said “Lets pray, close your eyes”. By the time the prayer was over, the Africans had the Bible in their hands while the Europeans had the land, mining rights, taxes on villagers etc.
PF politicians are also using the same tactic to blind Christians. Please pray with your eyes open or else you’ll be used by Politicians while bask in looted Govt funds. Pray to God through Jesus Christ but do not be taken advantage of.
