Esther cries persecution, declares that God is not happy with what’s happening to her
THE spacious yard of Edgar Lungu’s rented mansion in Lusaka’s Ibex Hill was this morning turned into an open air church as former first lady Esther turned into a pastor who cried persecution and gave an emotional sermon on love and Trust in God.
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.
She was expected to appear before DEC today but the commission’s 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.
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.
Esther preached that; “We must not live a life that is regretable much as we maybe grieving”.
She said “we must show love and not anger for the development of the nation”
“It 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,” she declared as the congregation responded with “amen.
“God will intervene in our matter, there is light at the end of the tunnel,” she continued.
“Ours is to love, one another, may we practice true love”.
“May God strengthen, bless you, strengthen all those who going through persecution, those who traumatised”.
“Innocent 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”
Esther concluded her sermon with the gratitude to the gathering.
