Africa-Press – Zambia. MMD President and Founder of Victory Ministries, Dr Nevers Mumba, has called on Zambians to take a stand on national values and choices. In a statement released yesterday, Dr Mumba expressed his shock at how many Zambians seem agitated over issues that he and other Christian leaders warned about over 25 years ago.
“It’s shocking to see how the issues we have been warning about for years are now unfolding right in front of our eyes. The Zambian church is facing a powerful global movement that has now gone ten steps ahead, and if we do not act now, we risk losing our Christian heritage and values,” Dr Mumba said.
Dr Mumba believes that the time has come for Zambians, and believers in particular, to take a stand on national values and choices. He emphasized the need for Christians to be actively involved in legislative positions, such as parliament, to safeguard the country’s Christian heritage and values.
“For many years, we have said that we must place Christians in legislative positions such as parliament in order to safeguard our Christian heritage and values. At that time, most of us were playing church, and we made our choices. Now, we are facing the consequences of those choices,” he said.
Dr Mumba further lamented the fact that the Zambian church has been weakened, and Christians have convinced themselves that civil matters do not belong to them.
“Over the years, we have convinced ourselves that the place of a godly man is only the pulpit. We have convinced ourselves that the Christian message is only good enough in the choir and in the pulpit. This has weakened us, and now we are being made to sit quietly and watch as others take center stage in shaping the social direction and moral fabric of Zambia as a nation,” he said.
Dr Mumba also warned that the Zambian church could soon be accused of hate speech and human rights violations if it tries to raise its voice about those who are shouting that it’s their choice.
“We must wake up and choose right over wrong at whatever cost. Zambia shall be saved, but we must repent from the evils that are upon us,” he said.
Dr Mumba’s statement has sparked debate across the nation, with many people expressing their views on the matter. Some have commended him for speaking out, while others have criticized him for what they see as an attempt to impose Christian values on the entire nation.
A Zambian journalist, Brian Malama, believes that Dr Mumba’s statement is timely and highlights the need for Christians to be actively involved in shaping the nation’s future.
“As a Christian, I believe that Dr Mumba’s statement is timely and highlights the need for Christians to be actively involved in shaping the nation’s future. However, we must also respect the rights of others and not impose our beliefs on them,” he said.
Another Zambian, Samuel Mwila, thinks that Dr Mumba’s statement is divisive and could create more problems than it solves. “I think Dr Mumba’s statement is divisive and could create more problems than it solves. We must learn to coexist and respect each other’s beliefs, even if we do not agree with them,” he said.
