Don't pray your greatness away!

Back then, I used to ask God to remove every suffering and problem I encounter in life

But I no longer pray to God to remove my sufferings or problems, I honestly don't!

I pray for him to give me wisdom and strength to endure the painful process as I unlock the solutions to my problems.

I know that my greatness lies in that painful process!

Every great person on earth was great because of the problems they solved and not the ones they prayed away 🙏

When it was time for Jesus to be killed, he prayed to God to take away what was ahead of him.

But lastly he prayed that may God's will prevail! Imagine what could have happened if God took away what Jesus went through.

The Bible says on Hebrews 12 :2 that because Jesus endured pain, humiliation, shame, torture and prosecution, he sits on the right hand side of the throne as King of Kings!

Your greatness lies in the problems you encounter. with a victim mindset of always asking "God why me", you shall never see the fortune within them.

With a Victor mindset of "Try me" you shall develop solutions that will benefit the masses.

There is no glory without a story
The nature of greatness is that it should hurt!

Greatness hurts!

That is why your lowest painful moments are mostly the source of your highest forms of greatness!

As you transition to 2024, Don't pray your greatness away!

SUNDAY CHANDA SAYS SHAME TO TRIBALISTS WANTING TO DIVIDE ZAMBIANS, CALLS ON GOVT TO BAN REGIONAL GROUPINGS PROMOTING TRIBALISM

PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

_GOVERNMENT MUST BAN REGIONAL GROUPINGS_

19th December 2023 - Government must ban regional groupings in order to preserve national unity in Zambia. Anything that threatens the ‘One Zambia, One Nation’ motto must not be allowed to exist.

It is also important for the positive forces in the political space including the media and opposition to implore and preach “death of tribalism” to all. On this same score let me appeal to the Church and other religious leaders in the nation to categorically condemn tribalism including any semblance of it thereof.

Let us remind ourselves that in Rwanda the Hutu tribalism against Tutsis (so-called "cockroaches") which led to the genocide was schemed, promoted and funded by politicians and other elites, but executed by common people, young boys with pangas.

When the country exploded, the same politicians and elites were the first ones to flee the country leaving behind hundreds of thousands of common Hutus to be arrested and paraded in _Gachacha_ Traditional Courts and Prisons. The few Politicians and elites held accoubtable were arrested under pseudo names in Belgium, France, Cape Town but some will never be arrested. Meanwhile 1 million people lay dead!

Students of history will recall that tribalism and ethnicity killed Yugoslavia following the death of a great leader and unifier President Josip Broz Tito, and a very close ally of President Kenneth Kaunda, tribalists fought for their regions and today there are 7 or 8 small and weak countries in the Balkans.

Kenneth Kaunda and his friends achieved the’One Zambia, One Nation’ in the midst of racist and ethnic challenges. These must inspire today’s Zambia. That is also what President Julius Nyerere did in Tanzania. However most African countries utterly failed to fight tribalism and regionalism and millions of their people perished, their countries broke up are still very unstable till today.

Zambia has never experienced the ghastly consequences of tribalism. We must therefore constantly remind ourselves of the single most important cause of civil wars, secessions, genocide - tribalism and regionalism.

Political parties in Zambia should mobilize as nationalists and not regionalists. This is what ZANC/UNIP did against Colonialists and ANC in the late 50s/60s, and that is what MMD did against UNIP in 1991. If Zambia has to exist as ‘One Zambia, One Nation’ it has to be mobilized as such, not on regions and tribes.

Politicians and political parties must also realize that the answer to any alleged Tribalism is not more tribalism and regionalism, just like the answer to racism is not more racism.

I am therefore appealing to Zambians of good conscience to instead come together as one and make tribalists as insignificant as possible.
