ECL and God’s Favor for National Leadership: 12 Reasons Why PF must welcome, forgive and celebrate Miles Sampa their Prodigal Son
By Dr. Chris Zumani Zimba
1. Jesus Christ guided his disciples on the secret behind divine favour and leadership in Mathew 20:26-27 when he said : “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave”
2. In 2011 when PF formed government, Lungu was not among the to cabinet ministers President Sata assembled. He only started as a deputy minister-he took the posture of lower servants under King Cobra. Later, Sata himself promoted him higher.
3. By the time President Sata was dying, Lungu was acting Republican President, Defence Minister, acting Defense Minister and PF Secretary General. Between 2015 to 2021, despite many obstacles and challenges, Heaven favored Lungu to rule as the Sixth President of this Christian Nation. This was the doing of God!
4. In August 2021, HH with the help of the West became President and ECL graciously and peacefully handed over power to him. Out of evil intentions, in October, 2023, HH schemed to overthrow Lungu from his party and kill PF by dividing it. We know that Miles Sampa was sponsored to get PF from Lungu so that he has no political platform for 2026.
5. Bally did his “mingalato politics” to silence Lungu and burry PF everywhere including registrar of societies and in parliament. Miles Sampa became the darling of HH and Nevers Mumba as they celebrated “stealing PF” from ECL. We saw smiles at Bally’s face as Sampa was even given official state security. King Nebuchadnezzar was very happy!
6. As expected, HH’s “presidential envoy” but practically “his Chola boy or chief praise singer”, Nevers Mumba was also seen many times mocking Lungu and dinning with Miles Sampa to kiss and applaud Bally’s good efforts in punishing and finishing ECL. HH’s second term was being cooked as per plan!
7. But God was still speaking the same message to Lungu of 2015 from Jeremiah 1:5-“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations”. National Leadership especially in the land of praying Christians can not come from man or America but from God above.
8. On 30th June, 2024, Lungu and Miles Sampa met after 3 years and conferred in the middle of the night while Bally and Nevers Mumba were dreaming and snoring! When they woke up, they found social media dancing and celebrating the “political reunion” of ECL and Bally’s project-Miles Sampa in stylish pictures everywhere.
9. This unexpected meeting between Lungu and Sampa speaks of God’s favour on LUNGU’S national leadership. This meeting is confirmed in Zechariah 4:6, the Bible says “ This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
10. Miles Sampa is LUNGU’S prodigal son who had gone astray and very far. Now that he has realized his wrongs and decided to comeback to his political father in humility and apology, the PF family must embrace him with love, grace, forgiveness and compassion as their own brother.
11. If Lungu who was most humiliated and politically injured has forgiven and embraced his prodigal son, there should be no reason for anyone in PF to hate or shun Miles Sampa. Bitterness, vengeance and anger is the political spirit that controls UPND and rules Community House. PF must always do the opposite!
12. We surely expect President Lungu, when the storm is over and PF is back to its original formats as one political family, to throw “a big feast” to toast and celebrate the coming back of his lost son, Miles Sampa. This is important because President Sata and Lungu have built PF on the wheels of forgiveness and human love.
