Singer-cum-pastor Macdonald Mlaka Maliro says evangelism has become his full-time occupation and that people should accept that he is a changed person.

“I am busy with evangelism. Evangelism is now my full-time occupation,” Mlaka says in a newspaper interview.

Mlaka a pastor at Cross Life Church says he is now a changed person from his past life of binge drinking, smoking and violent acts.

“I used to drink beer, smoke and fight with people,” Mlaka says in an interview published by Nation on Sunday.

“I was doing many bad things, but now I am a changed person. Now, I tell people that drinking beer, smoking and fighting is not good and God is always angry with such behaviours,” he says.

Asked what he wants to achieve as a pastor, Mlaka points out that he wants to see people “receive Jesus.”

Says Mlaka: “I already have a house, a beautiful wife, children and fame; and what I want now is to take part in changing people’s lives spiritually.”

Mlaka says he faced a lot of challenges when he became a pastor: “People laughed at me, saying I had run out of ideas. Others said I was sick; hence, I wanted to hide behind the church and evangelism.”

According to Mlaka, he became a pastor in 2011.

“God used my son for me to receive Jesus Christ. My son had fire burn wounds. When we took him to Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in Blantyre, we were told he was supposed to be sent to South Africa for proper medical treatment. I discovered that the medical bill in South Africa would be K6 million, which was beyond what we could afford.

“Later, I met Prophet Brenda Mpasu who told me that God wanted to use my son to let me repent and serve Him. I disregarded Mpasu’s words. Surprisingly, when I later met Prophet Sheppard Bushiri, he said to me what exactly Mpasu had said. I knew God had something for me. I was afraid.

“In the same year I received Jesus, but I was still playing secular music, and it was in 2012 when I shifted to gospel music. Then, I started attending Cross Life Church where Bishop Isaac Chitakata asked me to start evangelising. I preach and invite gospel musicians to perform at the church every Friday. I also preach during the main service on Sundays.”

Pastor Mlaka switched from secular music to gospel but even in secular songs his tracks mostly were extracts from the scriptures.

The artist has however maintained the same beat that made Dzanja Lalemba a bestseller 14 years ago.

  8. i am so i love with the the idea,sometimes people get to the point where they can say enough is enough,that point is when you realize that may be the enough wasnt for God so hence the calling for the change of a life begins.bravo mlaka,jst be real

  10. When God calls no one can oppose. Saul was a greal was a great opponent of Jesus’ message, but when the time came for him to know and spread the truth he turned from Saul to Paul, thus turning from being a persecuter to be a great evangelist everyone was shocked his turn. But God used him up the great extent than some of the apostles that were with Jesus from the very begin. Therefore, my word to mr pastor, Mlaka, is that ‘Do not focus on your past and physical realities, but istead keep on what God has revealed to you.’ May God bless you in everything upon your life. Amen.

  14. Mlaka be yourself and serve the Lord as you can.Don’t worry about your wifes old life ibelieve you’ve forgiven her compretly.
    Forgiviness is the true characteristics of Christianity this is the cenral point of salvation. Think about Joseph the son of Jacob,what he has done to his brothers! What about Jesus on the day of his death.

  17. Jeoffrey Mtelemukanso ankanyantha katundu wa Bernadetta mapeto.The lady is just very loose kukondanso kumwa mowa heavy ku Country Club Limbe.

  27. Those who know Mlaka when he was young man ….can easly tell ….Mlaka anaphunzitsidwa ndi Reinhad Bonke..In 80s…But God bless u keep on..

  29. Be serious 4 yrself if its rearly a God calling c’z, now dayz a lot of strange pastors who do not fulfill what God called them for.

  30. Koma yeeeeeeee zilikuno kodi tikapezeka nako basi tidzikhala ma born again eti? Tizingovomereza si aMlaka okha man kalipo kagulu kungoti kutchula kuvuta man

  34. Kodi mukungonena zamkazi wamlaka kuti anangodyetsa kodi akudya mkazi wanu ndani. Only single people like me can say that osati okwatiranu ayi. Kuli mayi wina wake amagwira ku USAID amakhala ku Area 47 mwamuna wake anagwira ku fodya akamalankhula mayiyo ngati munthu koma eeeh sinyere yake. So leave Mlaka’s wife alone.

  35. Comment: Pitiliza Mlaka. Siwenawa nkhani ya falanga. Zowonadi munthu udzitembenuka, koma pa sewero la Tikufelanji mudzitsamala for every word that comes out of your mouth testifies for you.

  36. So what happened to the child with burns? You were famous but you couldn’t raise K6 million ($13000) for your sons medical bills? A change of career makes sense indeed. With tithes paid by gullible people perhaps you can now afford that.

  38. God call pple in defferent wayz, ican agree with my fellow friends Pastor Mlaka is achange person.Kp it up Pastor Mlaka

  39. mlaka, it doesnt matter what pple say; the issue is your relation with your God. whether what dirty is being said about the lady kumwamba aliyense akalowa yekha. its a secret btwn her and her God. bible says tsoka wobweretsa chiphinjo pa mnzake, dont worry and never retreat the talkings are being taken care by your God zisakubweze mbuyo. masiku adachepa masiku ano osalapawo ndibwino kuwasiya look the way they are talking! very nasty! shameful!! anormal person can not produce such naughty words. mind your bzns! God guide!

  46. When a man turns to God let’s not judge. Let’s thank and praise God for such. Who are we to judge. The same judgment we give to others will be leveled against us. So why cannot we praise God for Mlakas deliverance. Everybody of good will needs deliverance. Who is perfect? This is the time to repent. Big up Mlaka. Will follow the suit.

    Keep the gospel evangelized to many! am a witness of your past and seeing your current status, indeed, you are a living testimony.

  51. Sewero ndi sewero,ndemukuona ngat sewero lingakome bwanji atati aliyese azipanga his or her real characters,mlaka umaitha

  52. Ineyo ndilibe nazo vuto kwenikweni zakusinthika kwa Mlaka, this is a good idea. Koma zoti azipitiliza kupanga perfom or kumakhala involved muma secular shows ineyo sindikugwilizana nazo ngati iyeyo tsopano mtumiki wa Ambuye. Sindikukamba nkhambakamwa chabe kapena kumsinjilila koma amene mukudziwa Mlaka this last weekend anali ku Likoma for sun festival kumene amakapanga ma shows ndi ma secular artists ambili. Tsoka ilo mashows ake amapangidwa usiku. My concern ndiyoti what has he archived as now “Man of God”, chifukwa zikumveka kuti kunapita anthu ambili omwe anapitila chisokonezo. My suggestion ndiyoti ayenela kupanga refrain from these acts zimene zingabweletsele mavuto ena komanso anthu kusiya kusamkhulupilila. CHICHI wangodutsamo!!!!!

  53. Good move indeed my brother although the means was satanic because the true God can not burn your innocent child to coax you into pastoral work.Satanists and the devil himself do that;using fear!The fear aspect in your calling is what you should always pray for seriously.All the best my dear Mlaka!

  55. amen man of GOD,but muyenera kusamala zoyankhula pasewero becoz sometimes people judge a book based on it’s cover

  56. The wife is indeed beautiful but morally not good.Bwana Paulos Chisale who is the current Director of Security Service at State House nde kunali kudya kwao ngati chinatha nde pakatiapotu

  57. Koma usiye zomwe umapanga ndi Manganya pa TV zikuonesabe uchikunja Not changed man of God

  60. Chakwera I don’t see any problem for a preacher to do that with manganya! Look pastor keneth okonkwo is also in the industry

  63. Iwe miaka ukuti chiani? Walowa chilichi anthu abosh walo wakha ndimkazako yemwe,usamale akulu ukusewera nawowo akuchindira mkazi wakoyo siwamasewers bushiri pa khani yimeneyi basi wamugulitsa benedeta wekha,

  65. Jesus is life. Who follows him in the end will have peace forever and not following him will mean pains. Forever.
