Bishop Joseph Kazhila
Chingola based prominent clergy Bishop Joseph Kazhila the General overseer of Life Gospel Fellowship Ministries International has expressed concern that prophecies being delivered may influencing the voting in August.
Two Prophets so far – Isaac Amata of Nigeria and Inter-denomination Jesus Ministries Church Overseer John Simfukwe have prophesied that Edgar Lungu will win the August presidential election.
Featuring on Zambian Eye’s Hot Seat live texting programme on facebook Group Monday evening, Bishop Kazhili said prophecies on the forthcoming elections should not be tolerated.
“The subject matter is caution I made that we should not tolerate prophecies for these forth coming elections, and may I say it that I hold my position no matter how insulted or hated. Zambia doesn’t belong to a particular group or tribe or profession. It is God’s nation for us all..Let people go to vote on that day without being swayed to believe that God has chosen this candidate,” said Bishop Kazhila.
Bishop Kazhila said Zambians need to be wary of false prophets who he says are greedy and after making money. He said false prophets are used by satan and are trying to take advantage of the situation in Zambia.
“Prophecy of God is backed by God and that from other sources is backed by demonic influence or zeal for fame or lust for pleasure including money. When God speaks three things happen.
1. People are edified, comforted and or exhorted. When God speaks His purpose is to save people from destruction. When satan speaks his agenda is simply to steal, kill and destroy; and when man speaks he aims at attempting to be popular,” responded Bishop Kazhila when asked on how a false prophet can be identified.
