“The Lord shall keep him for us, what we are doing is prophetic, in the bible, the book of Proverbs and Luke, says children obey your parents in the Lord.
Honor your father and mother which is the first, commandment with a promise, so that it shall be well with you.It shall never be with us if we don’t respect the nation of Zambia,” Apostle Sinyangwe said

“Today, it’s supposed to be a day of reconciliation, prayer and fasting. I believe Zambians through out the country are on their knees reconciling with one another.
And may I take advantage of this occasion to simply say it openly, I hold no grudge against anyone and therefore, if there is any perception that I’ve held a blessings of Zambians, please may God release that perception that am holding back there favor and grace.” President Lungu said.
