Chakwera in Jerusalem holy site: Continues with prayer and fasting for ‘better’ Malawi

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera has taken time off from attending hectic presidential poll results challenge case to visit Jerusalem as he  turned to God by embarking on prayer for “victory over wickedness and for good leaders and truth to reign in Malawi”.

Chakwera at the holy site: Joins others in prayer

In a tweet accompanied by pictures of himself in the Jews and Christian holy land, Chakwera says: “I took a break from court and visited the Church of the Holy Sepelchure in Israel, where I spent some time praying for our beautiful country.”

It is not known how for how long he would be there but party officials say the trip is private.

The Constitutional Court reconvenes next week after a week-long recess for the final leg hearing of the presidential election case.

Earlier this year, Chakwera, a former president of Assemblies of God Church in Malawi, embarked on a three-day Esther Fast.

The Esther Fast is a biblical dry fast, for which participants do not eat or drink during the period. MCP is observed  the fast on June 12 to June 14.

 

Chakwera and UTM Party president Saulos Chilima, who is also the country’s immediate past vice-president, are challenging the May 21 presidential election results that were marred by use of Tippex by Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) in altering figures on results sheets.

The two filed a case against MEC in court and included President Peter Mutharika as the first respondent to the petition with MEC as the second respondent.

Chilima and Chakwera are first and second petitioners, respectively.

MEC on May 27 declared Mutharika winner of the presidential race with 1 940 709 votes representing 38.57 percent followed by MCP’s Lazarus Chakwera with 1 781 740 votes representing 35.41 percent while Chilima finished third and ahead of four other aspirants hopefuls with 1 018 369 votes representing 20.24 percent.

Which should come first Praying or repenting? Read the bible carefully. Do not confuse your followers or Malawians. The word of God will always be true. Chakwela you are just wasting your time just repent. Your bloodshed spirit is still with many of your followers and MCP. Rebuke this spirit then repent and avoid associating with the devils Mtambo and Chilima, then God will receive you as his child.

“No one is righteous— not even one. … If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us – Romans 3:10; Romans 3:9-20; Surely there is no righteous man on earth ………………- Ecclesiastes 7:20; Now if the Almighty tells us the above nde who are you chitsiru iwe, cadet wachabe chabe to tell us Chakwera is a sinner! Who gave you that power to tell us Chakwera is a sinner? Fotseki

So what is your point? Do not read a verse and preach. Read the whole book or chapter so that you understand the context of the message. Ask your pastor to help you.

Reading the whole chapter to get a point is the acts of religious people not Christians………….! Each word in the Bible has complete message…………………………. and this is where you miss the point and start pointing fingers to those you think are your enemies, not knowing satan is your enemy not Chakwera! after all what should Chakwera repent of? What sin has he committed and who directed you to dictate such nonsense!! Are you implying Chakwera is the only sinner worth repenting? Awansoooooooooooooooooooooo!

Shame on all people applauding the hypocrisy of Chakwera It’s so clear that what Chakwera is doing is not sanctioned anywhere in the Scriptures. Actually the Lord condemns it. If we falter on this simple issue by indulging in emotions which is crowding our judgement what happens to weighter issues. Much as DPP has its negatives, that however does not exonerate any form of hypocrisy or mediocrity by the opposition. Politicians should be viewed and treated as such. Never trust a politician.
