There’s no political leader filled with Holy Spirit, says Archbishop Mtambo: Clerics closest to God
Northern Region Inter-Faith Organization (NORIFO) has said Malawians should not be misled that there is a political leader who “is full of the Holy Spirit that will lead them beyond the forthcoming elections,” but has, instead appealed to the citizenry to join them in prayer so that the country registers meaningful progress, saying they are “the closest to God.”
NORIFO chairperson, Archbishop Silent Mtambo, who is also leader of Evangelical Assemblies of God Mission in Malawi (EAGM) said during prayers organised in collaboration with Central African Presbyterian (CAP) to pray for Malawi ahead of this year’s general elections.
“Those who are close to God are not political parties but churches; therefore, as religious leaders we are the ones who have the Holy Spirit and not political leaders as others think or say,” said Mtambo.
He added: “On the candidates contesting on various political seats, no one has a Holy Spirit. They believe in us and it is us that we will pray to God to give us a good leader who is development conscious and not a leader who has a Holy Spirit.”
The prayers were held under the theme ‘Peaceful Elections.’
Commenting on the theme, Mtambo said it was important for various churches in Chitipa to come together and pray to God for peaceful elections on May 21.
They also prayed for incumbent President Peter Muhtarika and Mtambo clarified that it does not mean they are endorsing him “but as the leader of this country he is supposed to be prayed for as it is written in the Bible in Timothy chapter 2 vs1- 3.”
He added: “As church leaders we don’t stand in the church and say vote for Professor Mutharika but we have a duty to pray for his good health.”
Mtambo also urged presidential candidates to accept the outcome of the elections responsibly.
NORIFO, is a grouping of 2 800 religious leaders whose focus is to weigh in on various issues affecting the country. It was established in 2012.
Nanunso olemba nkhani, mudziona nkhani zolemba choonde. Use common sense please….
Kungofuna kunyozetsa Dzina la Mlengi wathu uku……Eishhhh
Ziphunzitso za satana izi by you the so called Bishop. chinsalu chamu kachisi chinang’ambikatu paja. remember???? Ma clerics nokha ndiye muli spirit filled?? inuyo ndiye angelo?? awa ena akupha ma alubino wa a Muhosha alinso spirit filled? Get your facts right before embarassing yourself to the general public. U bishop ongodzuka nkudziveka ndi choncho. i would’nt even be surprised to hear you are a Dpp cadet!
May LORD bestow wisdom on Chakwera to rescue our country Malawi
Za chamba. Koma wu bishop unaphweka. Ndi awa omwe?
Bishop Mtambo, you have said it well . We are looking for a developmental candidate,.
Not stones all over the country.
The guy or so called archbishop can do with a drink. Specially kadansana!
Useless. Who said you’re the only ones close to God? Everyone has the authority to call himself or herself the son of God. When Jesus ascended to heaven, he promised human kind his holy spirit. Umbuzi basi.
Filled with Holy Spirit …Kuti Muziwe Zimakhale zintchito Zache; Munthu wa Mzimu woyera Sangakhale Wongenga akazi aeni,Wachigololo,Wakuba,Wakupha …..ETC…Sikutitu Omachita kumuona Holy Spirit kuti Uyo Koma Zintchito….Azibusa Enawa….??
“And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:5-8
Matthew 23: 8 Jesus said “But be not yet called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren”. This whole idea of being closer to God by tittle is unChristian. The Bible teaches about a Priesthood of ALL BELIEVERS, 1 Peter 2:9&10. So Brother Mtambo please consult the Bible again on you position.
No wonder it’s mbc
Oh yaaa! It’s MBC! Kikkkkkkk kkkkk!
AWA AKANANGO KHALA CHETE …. and mtola nkhani wakeso kukhala wa MBC… aaaaa the man of GOD want to defend the killings of albinos as normal …. so he want to pretend that there is no Candidate HOLLY, that means every candidate once voted into power will promote the killling of albinos…..shaaaa !!!!!! what kind of a Pastor….. AMBUYE MUTICHITILE CHIFUNDO….
Bwanji osangolemba zanu kusowana nkumayankha za anzanu? U chifwamba basi!!!!

SO WHAT SHOULD WE GET FROM THESE NONSENSE…
Bravo Bishop Mtambo! You truly understand your position.
My rubbish!
A bishop awa ngabodzaso bwanji. How does he explain Muhosha issue. The Holy Spirit is not the monopoly of the church.
The Holy Spirit in manifested through HIS various gifts which I believe some leaders should have.
Sorry archbishop muli ndi bodza zed mwina mubadwe mwatsopano kuti muone zinthu izi
Eya, pamenepo ndipo.
I need all the albino bones back to their homes for proper burial. I do not need leaders who kill albino and they are protected by walls of a palace. Get it!
It was indeed mentioned that `Last days people will be full of no respect to words of God,selfish, disobidient to elders ,who will hear nobody or even men of God. So let it be spoken by all who think are clever and finally leap a heavy hand of Almighty
