CF’s Harry Kalaba has urged Government to expedite the process of the completion of the House of Prayer.
Speaking from the site of the House of Prayer, Mr Kalaba stated that whilst others regarded the project as “useless” (in reference to President Hichilema’s stance to the day of National Prayers).
“The CF attaches great importance to the completion of the House of Prayer as it symbolized the convenant Zambia has with the living God.” Stated the CF Leader.

Ba Kalaba, donot use God’s name for political mileage. This is a direct disregard of the third commandment – “You shall not misuse the name of God”.
What is this covenant with God that you are talking about? Do you realise the implications of having a covenant with God? The children of Israel had a covenant with God. It had conditions, Isiah1:19 “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword”. They failed to keep their side of the covenant by obeying Him and they were punished by being sent into exile and scattered all over the world. Are we obeying God as Zambians?
Through your so called covenant with God ba Kalaba, what is our deliverables? What are God’s expectations of us? It not just about evoking the name of God when it suits us.
As Zambians, we honour God with our lips, but our hearts are far away from him.
The government has no business building a house of prayer. As Christians, we have places where we congregate. Let the government use this structure for other circular purposes and focus on governance issues. Let the church take care of spiritual matters.
