Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Esther cries persecution, declares that God is not happy with what\u2019s happening to her.

The Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) in Lusaka has been seeking to quiz the former first lady about a block of 15 flats believed to have been acquired dubiously.<\/p>\n

She was expected to appear before DEC today but the commission\u2019s director general Mary Chirwa said they had postponed the interview to a later date. PF parliamentarians turned up to offer solidarity at the DEC offices but when Esther did not turn up, they followed her to her home in Ibex Hill.<\/p>\n

In the company of her husband, Esther thanked the gathering and without addressing the issue of the flats started to thump the the gospel. She urged them to rely and remain faithful and prayerful to God.<\/p>\n

Esther preached that; \u201cWe must not live a life that is regretable much as we maybe grieving\u201d. She said \u201cwe must show love and not anger for the development of the nation\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is only to God that I look upto,the God who is all knowing and always present is watching what is happening and is not happy with what is being done to us,\u201d she declared as the congregation responded with \u201camen.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod will intervene in our matter, there is light at the end of the tunnel,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cOurs is to love, one another, may we practice true love\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay God strengthen, bless you, strengthen all those who going through persecution, those who traumatised\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cInnocent people have suffered in the process bit where can we turn to?God Almighty knows what is happening because he created the heaven and the earth and everyone\u201d Esther concluded her sermon with the gratitude to the gathering.<\/p>\n
