SUMAILI CALLS FOR PRAYERS AGAINST HATRED

By Kalobwe Bwalya

THE culture of hatred in the country is worrying hence the need for urgent prayers for reconciliation, former National Guidance and Religious Affairs minister Godfridah Sumaili has said.

Reverend Sumaili revealed that the country needed to be healed and delivered from all sorts of evil forces if prosperity in the nation was to be achieved.

She explained that in any country where there was hatred and no love for each other, a lot of challenges took place because there was no love for each other.

She said she was concerned about the unfortunate situation happening in the country lately, hence the need for Christians in the country to seek the intervention of God.

She noted that peace should be nurtured in the country because in its absence, there was fear which bred hate, violence, disorder, confusion, and anxiety as well as affecting productivity.

“Am calling for effective and fervent prayers from the children of God, intercessory teams, intercessors, families and all peace-loving Zambians to arise and pray. I encourage the church mother bodies to encourage their members to pray,” Rev. Sumaili said.

And Ms Sumaili further called on all Zambians to cooperate with the law enforcement especially the police in maintaining law and order and avoid taking the law into their own hands.

She also said what was happening in Zambia where people were being murdered and others went missing was worrying, adding that there was a need to encourage one another to remain prayerful.

“I encourage the people of Zambia to stand together and restore calm and peace. We will hold hands in prayer as One Zambia One Nation because blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,” she said.
