First Lady prays with women at Sanjika

 

First Lady Gertrude Mutharika has urged women in the country to dedicate their time to spiritual matters as the future of their communities largely depends on their dedication to God.

The First Lady was speaking at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre when she hosted interdenominational thanksgiving praise and worship prayers on Saturday.

She urged women to include God in their plans for the year and beyond.

“We are the custodians of life in our homes, communities and the nation. We, therefore, need to include God in all we plan to do so that He can give us success,” advised Mutharika.

She added that it was necessary to come together to pray for the success of the new year.

“Last year was difficult as we lost many lives to calamities. Let’s commit this year to God so that love should prevail among all Malawians,” said the First Lady.

The prayers attracted women from various churches, including the Catholic Church, Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP), Living Waters, Malawi Assemblies of God, Quadria Muslim, Seventh-Day Adventist and Family Clinic Ministries.

They were led by pastors Carol Chapomba, Enesia Chitheka, Yami Tchika, Constance Masamba and among others. n

  1. In the UK, only 9% of the population claims to know or worship God compared to 85% of the Malawian population who claim to be believers in God.
    What’s is so interesting is that the UK is one of the top 7 richest countries in the world while Malawi with her Godliness is the poorest country in the world.
    What is even more interesting is the fact that it was the British and Scots missionaries who went around the world preaching God although their own people back home didn’t believe in God.
    Sometimes when I compare how Godly and poor Malawians are to how ungodly and rich the British are, it makes wonder whether I should start believing in what Bishop Desmon Tutu said the other day and I quote;
    “They brought us the bible and when we closed our eyes to pray they took our gold and diamonds away”
    So my message to our first lady is this, if you don’t have anything to offer to Malawians that can help them improve their life just stay at State house but don’t start messing around with their minds by playing the God card, it won’t help.
