Catholic Bishops accept Kalesha’s apology
“Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy as I reflect on the recent events that transpired. After a period of intense scrutiny and criticism, I humbly apologized to the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) for my statement, and I am grateful for their gracious acceptance of my apology.
The ZCCB’s response was a testament to the love of Christ, who welcomed sinners with open arms (Matthew 9:10-13). Their unconditional love, good reception, and lack of condemnation are a powerful reminder of what the Church is meant to be – a sanctuary of love, forgiveness, and restoration.
As the Bible says, “Love covers over a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). I am grateful for the opportunity to put this principle into practice, and I pray that we can all learn from this experience.
To those who insulted me, I forgive you, just as our Lord Jesus Christ forgave those who wronged Him (Luke 23:34). I urge my brothers and sisters who may have wronged others to repent and seek forgiveness, knowing that “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins” (1 John 1:9).
This experience has taught me valuable lessons, and I am grateful for the growth and revelation that has come out of it. I thank God for men of God who stood with me, for family members who vowed to stand with me, and for true friends who showed up when it mattered most.
As I look to the future, I am reminded that “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him” (Romans 8:28). I have no doubt that God wants to reveal something significant in this experience, and I am excited to see what the future holds.
May God be glorified in all things, and may we continue to walk in love, forgiveness, and unity.
Thank you, and may God bless you all.”
Victor Kalesha
That’s the Spirit we want in Zambia, after all we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you Victor Kalesha for the apology and thank you Catholic Bishops for accepting Kalesha’s apology. You have glorified God and have shamed the devil. May God bless you all.
This is a display of true Christianity. You donot wait for the 18th October day of prayer, repentance, et al to seek forgiveness and reconciliation. That is why I keep saying we should scrap this “holiday” because it is unnecessary. Repentance should be a daily activity for a christian because we sin everyday.
This is what true Christianity is all about (Mathew 5:23,24) not completion of the house of prayer or declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation. Thank you Pastor Kalesha and the Catholic bishops for exhibiting true brotherly love. The Lord Jesus said, “A new command I give you; Love one another. As I have loved you so you must love one another. By this, all men will know that you are MY DISCIPLES, IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER”, John 13:34,35. (Emphasis mine).
