His Excellency Reverend Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has come under intense fire from Prophet David F Mbewe for favouring drunkards than religious groups when it comes to time allocations and patronage.
In a statement, the Man of God says he is disappointed with the new measures that Reverend Chakwera has allocated to church than pubs and bottle stores.
“I here by write to register my great displeasure with the covid-19 containment measures as announced yesterday, 17/ 01/21. It was announced that all ‘religious gatherings must have no more than 50 people.
“It is perplexing to note that markets and pubs have been allowed to open up to 5pm and 8pm, respectively without even stipulating numbers of people”, decries the Prophet like John Baptist in the wilderness.
Prophet David Mbewe is the Founder of a Pentecostal Church called Shalon Mount Valley headquartered in Machinga and where FAM president, Walter Nyamilandu congregate for prayers.
“What is so special about limiting religious gathering to 50 people??? You may wish to note that most churches only meet once in a week whilst pubs and markets open daily and enjoy patronage from greater numbers of people than churches do. What wrong did churches do to this administration, one may wonder,” laments Mbewe.
Mbewe has urged Reverend Chakwera to revisit his covid-19 containment measures as announced yesterday.
Currently President Chakwera is still doing his 21 days of fasting to allow God to heal our land from this enemy, covid-19 pandemic which has so far claimed the lives of many people including cabinet ministers.
I don’t doubt the power of the church, but tisamuyede Mulungu. A CJ Tsukuluza, a Steven Lungu and many others siopusa komaso siochimwa kuti amwalire. Do COVID-19.
When the early church was closed due to persecution, they were meeting in homes and God showed great things through them.
Mumamunvetsa Mulungu not just try to be relevant.
That’s very true,Chakwera being a pastor we couldn’t expect him to do that .This is a time when the world needs God more.
Why is he taking part in persecuting the church ? We understand the measures were put forward under consultation with different stakeholders but him as a president he was suppose to approve that,why couldn’t he crush that decision? Is he happy for that? Has spirit of God left him? Is he really fasting for God to heal our land or it’s something else?
“Prophet David Mbewe,
Crying for money not prayers. The more the congregation the more the offering. Shit and fake prophet, you think we don’t know who authored this letter? You are DPP, and Walter had authored this letter. We are following you. want to be seen to be clever… Stealing in the name God.
The market and pub contribute to the economy of a country, and what the churches contribute? Not to collect the money from the vulnerable people to the richest priesters? But the time comes…
Amazing and very surprising. When he was beaten outright in 2019 he resorted to bloody violence by engaging violent hrdc. We witnessed unspeakable gloomy events at police lines and the pooping and peeing at the capital hill. Look now they are turning godly by observing a 21 day fasting prayers. One wonders, why not apply this after a surprise loss in 2019. Please stop mocking The GOD. I’m not judging for it is written, “do not judge others for you will be judged.” However, our senior clerics must lead in being examplary. Repentance is all what is needed. This is where contempt arises from for many will say look, he didn’t seek GOD when he was upset and now he want us to follow him in seeking Him because he is in comfort zone he claimed through deadly violence. remember the saying about pharises, ” don’t follow their behaviour but, for what they tell you about GOD.
