In this video, Minister of Religious Affairs Reverend Godfridah Sumaili says she looks forward to meeting UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema, to deliver a message that God will lift him up in due course if he humbles himself before the Creator.
And Malawian Prophet Bushiri has questioned why the Zambian government is only targeting Christians in its “screening” of fake prophets leaving out Muslims and Hindus.
Rev Sumaili was responding to a question from MUVI TV’s “The Assignment” programme host Alexander Musokotwane who wanted to know if she had plans of also meeting the UPND leader to foster peace between the ruling party and the opposition.
“For sure I have not met the president of the UPND and it is because of the things that have been happening,” Rev Sumaili said.
Asked whether she was planning to, Rev Sumaili said; “Of course, I am looking forward to that.”
When Musokotwane pressed further to know what message she would have for the opposition leader, Rev Sumaili said; “The first thing I would tell him is that God loves you. I will also say that all of us have destinies and it is always good to be in the plans of God and to move with God. And also, humble yourself before the Lord and in due course he will lift you up.”
Rev Sumaili also said government would not allow churches which performed miracles which were not generated by God.
“We believe in miracles, I personally believe in miracles but miracles that are generated by God and not miracles that are coming from magic and witchcraft,” she said.
“If they base their miracles on practices which are not biblical, we will not accept that. We cannot have people from outside bringing strange activities here.”
Asked how she would determine which miracle was genuine and which miracle wasn’t, Rev Sumaili maintained; “It is Christian if it is backed by God. If someone comes and says for me to have the power, I must sleep with a young girl, is that the Bible? That is defilement. There is the power of God and there is the power of Satan. We are not going to follow the power of Satan; we are following the power of God.”
And Prophet Bushiri questioned government’s crusade against churches.
“The people of Zambia, be very careful I can foresee an anti-Christ spirit coming in your country. Don’t say I didn’t warn you… Why are you only imposing laws against Christians only? In Zambia there are Muslims, the biggest mosque now has been built in Zambia for Muslims, are you not screening them? Why are you not screening Hindus? Why? You are not a minister of Christians, you are a minister of religion…if you continue this, your days are numbered,” Bushiri said in an audio played by MUVI TV during the same programme.
In response, Rev Sumaili insisted that Zambia would not allow fake prophets do defile the land.
“What I can say is that Zambia is under the lordship of Jesus Christ. God himself has given us the keys to the kingdom and no gates of hell shall prevail over the nation of Zambia and if the enemies are digging a pit, they shall fall in it. We are not going to compromise ourselves. We want the church to be strong and touch many lives. We do not want our land to be defiled,” Rev Sumaili said.
“And this is the same man who was prophesying that there was going to be war in Zambia. What kind of prophesy is that? Zambia is a peaceful nation.”
Asked if Prophet Bushiri, who said he would be in the country on Wednesday, would be allowed in, Rev Sumaili said she could not comment as the mandate was with the Ministry of Home Affairs.
“Well, I cannot say much on that because the mandate is with the Ministry of Home Affairs…we have declared war on false prophets. We want the truth to be preached in Zambia,” said Rev Sumaili.
Meanwhile, Prophet Bushiri says President Lungu is a God fearing person and the Religious Affairs Minister was denting the Head of State love for prayer.
In this audio, Prophet Bushiri warns Rev Sumaili against deporting prophets saying she is denting the President’s image.

It is intetesting to realize that even Jesus Christ was perceived to be demon possessed by the teachers of religion. So Reverend just be careful to ensure your government does not turnaway true servants of God. Otherwise your powerful government will find itself fighting against God.
It was totally wrong for Edgar Lungu to create this Ministry.
This was done in the pretext that Lungu is a God fearing being.
The best way to identify a true prophet would be to use the Word of God alone to do so. The fact is, if a prophet is sent by the God who wrote the Bible, then common sense would be to identify a true prophet by God’s Word… And don’t forget these most important verses concerning prophets and the last days:
“But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:” Acts 2:16-18.
The best way to identify a true prophet would be to use the Word of God alone to do so. The fact is, if a prophet is sent by the God who wrote the Bible, then common sense would be to identify a true prophet by God’s Word… And don’t forget these most important verses concerning prophets and the last days:
1. Deuteronomy 18:21-22, “And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”
The true Prophet of the Lord predicts that which does come to pass. If the Prophet’s predictions fail, they are exposed as NOT of God.
2. Numbers 12:6, “And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.”
The true Prophet of the Lord will receive visions or dreams from the Lord.
3 Jeremiah 28:9, “The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.”
A true Prophet will be 100% accurate. there is absolutely no margin for error.
4 2 Peter 1:21, “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
A true Prophet only prophecies in the name of the Lord. He only seeks to glorify the Lord. He will never seek glory to himself. NEVER!
5 1 John 4:1-3, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
A true Prophet believes and preaches the incarnation of Jesus Christ. He will preach Jesus as God who came to Earth and put on humanity in order to redeem us all.
6. Matthew 7:15-20, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
A true Prophet will show good works, and have identifiable fruits of a Christian. He/she will have abundant BIBLICAL fruits!
