The glorious miracle that erupted in Zambia during the peak
regime of former president of Zambia “Federick Chiloba” was a heartwarming
encounter to behold, even while watching the video of his attestation of
handling the nation of Zambia unto God and declaring it a Christian nation drew
tears from my eyes.
I was emotionally pricked in heart while beholding a godly
fearful leader of twentieth century ruler of a nation declaring a nation unto God as Christian nation. In 1991; the Nation of Zambia held its first democratic
elections in which the first elected President of Zambia “Fredrick Chiluba” emerges
as the winner.
Fredrick Chiluba was a Born again Christian and the foundation
in which this humble servant of Christ laid, and his bold declarations of the
Lordship of Christ opened the hearts of a nation to the Gospel. This is one of
the reasons there is such an open door for the gospel over the nation of Zambia
today. Honestly, it pierced my heart to behold such a spiritual
stunt leader who declared a whole nation for Christ Jesus after hailing from
Prison-walls to become the first elected president of Zambia in 1991.
In 1993, I can recall vividly how the fearful and indomitable "Chi Polopolo " of Zambia national football team were
vanquished in Atlantic ocean during a tragic plane crash. A generation was lost,
dream shattered and a nation wept. Nevertheless, the newly elected president stood inside the
stadium and gives outweighing spiritual words of comfort. Yet, despite the
tragedy lost; he lift up his eyes to heaven and gives thanks and worship the
great "I AM who ruleth in kingdom of men”
A year later; the newly recruited Zambia soccer team shock
the whole continent as they proceed over to Tunisia 94; African cup of Nation
and trailed gloriously to the final stage of the tournament---which signifies
that God honored the recognition of his name in the kingdom of men. This true leader was great because he was humble and truly fears
God, his believes and prayers were astonishing to behold from a twentieth century
president of a nation. Below is excerpt of his astonishing prayers while standing
before the whole nation of Zambia during the moaning of the death of national
football soccer team of Zambia.

FORMER PRESIDENT FREDRICK
CHILUBA ADDRESSING THE WHOLE NATION
"" Fellow citizens, let us pray---Oh God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We beseech thee this morning, we ask you dear Lord
even as i declare Zambia a Christian country, i rededicate this nation and
submit it to you, that you make your decision and rules over us. We know God there is no king that appoints himself---there
is no one that was born president. You alone appointed you alone removed; glory
be to your holy name. Lord; we submit ourselves to you, believing and trusting
that we are in transit---Naked we came and Naked we go; blessed be your holy
name.
There is nothing we will takes back with us. These young
people, our brothers who pass away didn't ever know this was their time. They are
no more sinful than we are and glory be to your Holy name for we don't know our
day. Because you love the world so much, that you gave your only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall never perish, but shall have
an everlasting life. John 3;16 "For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He that dwelleth in
the secret place of the most high shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty. And
we shall say unto the Lord, you are our refuge and fortress, God in him and in
him we trust. Psalms 91:1-2 "He that dwelleth
in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in
him will I trust.
Father we thank you and bless you. Father we ask you to look
kindly upon this nation. Look at your people, they are disrupted. They are in
deep distressed. They are deprived but you near us, with your angels guarding
us. Yes; we have lost but we knew you will sustained us and you will keep us.
We seek peace thou God; the peace that cometh from you and not the peace of the
world but the peace that passes all understanding---The peace of God.
Oh Dear Lord Jesus, I re-dedicate this nation as a Christian
nation. I know we are at war against the devil but the devil can never win
because he has been defeated on Calvary---The Calvary that brought us peace and
the peace we shall enjoy in this nation; Father we thank you and we bless you.
I dedicate the cabinet that oh Lord you may dwell with the ministers
that they may know they are not there because of their power and strength. We
are not there because we are cleaver men and intelligent men and women-----we
are there because you have asked us to do your will and to your people. We are
messengers and you are the king and ruler of this nation.
Father we surrender whatever we have unto you whom brought
me here in order to proclaim your name as our GOD. [A minutes sober of wept and
tears] Father i thank you—[sobbing] I THANK YOU LORD. Father; i want to promised before your people and this
nation, that your name i will continue to proclaim; and we shall never
surrender to injustice. We will uphold the name of Jesus as our Lord despites
this tragedy that devastated us today.
We know there was a man you trusted
called "JOB"; who lost all
his 10 children in one day; all the cattle and all the sheep he had. But ooh
God, you knew that he trusted you. Even in this dark moment of our nation, Lord i ask this
nation to join me to proclaim Lord Jesus as our Lord, to proclaim you God as a
ruler of this nation. WE SHALL OVERCOME IN THE NAME OF JESUS---Amen.
Federick Chiloba was born in April 30, 1943, Kitwe, Zambia and later Died: June 18, 2011, Lusaka, Zambia at the age of 68 years but the heartwarming godly message he sent to the whole continent during the funeral of the Zambia National football team in 1993 will continue to propel in the heart of many and it will surely
stands as a testimony in judgment day against presidents and rulers of nations who refuse to acknowledge the presence of God during their administrative works.
The above transits remind us of the glorious exploit of
Nehemiah in the scripture, who stir the faith, passion and love of God upon the
heart of remaineth of Israelites who escape captivity. He charges them to
re-built Jerusalem and her fallen glory and also strengthens and restored their
heart unto God. Nehemiah 1;3-4 "And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven"
The Former President of Zambia; Federick Chiloba is an
epitome of great leader which God desires in every tribes and nations of the
world. The first president of UNITED STATE OF AMERICA; President "George Washington" once
said; "It is impossible to rightly
govern a nation without God and the Bible" but today what has become
of United State of America? How terrible are the might fallen?
A country which founding father's laid her foundation on "IN GOD WE TRUST" has now become
a place of desolate and abomination---abolishing prayers and preaching of the
Gospel in schools and higher institutions and unveiling of gay marriage. What can i say about my dear country Nigeria?---THE GIANT OF
AFRICAN which present economic recession is fast erupting because we have forsaken
righteousness and refuse to embrace and acknowledge the only begotten son of God as our Lord
and savior, but rather decides to appoint an unbeliever to govern the affair of a Nation.
This is
the greatest mistake and certainly nothing vital shall come out from it unless
the national pillar returns and be restored unto godliness in which I believe can be achieved by collective prayers of Christians. Moreover, I have a dream that one
day; my dear Nation Nigeria shall be governed with GOD and BIBLE by special grace
of God.
I also want to encourage all the brethren to always commit the affair of their country unto God because it’s only prayer can cause God to melt mountain, pierced
the rock and dried the ocean in quest of transforming the spiritual life of
someone and cause such person to yield
under the mighty conviction of the holy ghost.
