MMD President Nevers Mumba has encouraged Zambians to use the opportunity for prayer and fasting to take their anger and disappointments to God in prayer on the 18th of October.
Dr Mumba in a statement says while Zambians are asking if President Edgar Lungu intends to use God and prayer as a scapegoat for the many problems the country is facing,he reminds them that they will not be praying to the PF of President Lungu but to God.
He says if the President and the PF have evil intentions of using God and prayer for political benefits, God cannot be mocked and he shall severely deal with such perpetrators.
Dr Mumba says a President or a King has a Godly mandate to call a nation to prayer when need arises, adding that any President in office qualifies to call for a day of prayer.
On the concern going around that the choice of 18th October could be connected to the beast of Revelation who is identified by the number 666, Dr Mumba says God is Lord on all days.
He states that even if there was any evil intention by those who have chosen the day, when Zambians worship God in Spirit and in truth on that day, God shall subdue any evil power because He is Lord of all.
Dr Mumba says there is no biblical support for the fear going around the country.
He says the only fear Zambians should have is what God is about to do if this event has been called with bad or political motives meant to deceive the Church.
