Bread of Life Church International Sunday Service Date: 22nd September 2024 Location: Blessings Center, Lusaka Scripture: Nehemiah 6:15 Preacher: Bishop Shaderick Chisulo Notes: 1. Determination will cause you to break a record and be counted among the great. In the year of Divine Overflow, you must begin to tell yourself, "It is now or never." Example: Michael Jordan failed many times in high school, missing 9,000 shots in his career. Through sheer determination, he worked at it and refused to let failure define his life. Today, he is called "Air Jordan" because of his determination. What is your determination? Are you firm? It doesn't matter what comes my way, or the obstacles in my path; I am more than persuaded to become what God has placed on my life. 2. The Need for Determination I. To Overcome Obstacles Nehemiah was in a foreign land, yet he was working towards his goal (Nehemiah 2:10). You must be determined concerning your dreams and make an impact on y...

Often times people tend to ask me how church was and whether we have prayed for them or not. It is a common thing in our country.  The question that precedes if the conversation is sustained is 'WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE?' Sometimes your mind is busy running other schedules, so you just pick a random topic to describe Church. But hey what about on August 11th, 2024, how was Church in the 3rd Service? It was Powerful! What about the message? I got you.... this is what was shared....at Bead of Life Church International during counsellors Sunday. The Preacher was Pastor Jeff Mumbi, and the Scriptures bordered on Joel 2:24, John 15:7 and Ephesians 3:20 The Message was Divine Overflow Through the Word of God. Notes: "Allow the word of God to duel in you richly because the degree you allow the word of God to duel in you is the extent you are going to succeed". Get back to the word of God! Negligence of the Bible is at your own peril. *As you begin to commune with the word of God...

 POSITIVE ENERGY WILL END LOAD SHEDDING. The Biggest Problem among Zambians today is Criticism without Solutions. Now that the Country has a problem of load shedding, the majority have gone on social media to mock The Head of State and his government. Well Your opinion is respected.  Under rare circumstance will you find someone providing a solution to load shedding or any other economic problems. Why don't we use the same energy of joking on this situation to generate solutions? Why are we not using the same energy to advise government on how we can do it together?  Our economy is at a sinking stage because  of  load shedding triggered by our own disobedience to control climate change. But are we all going to be  sinking with Jokes and memes or sinking trying to save the Economy?  Best Jere, Journalist and Communication Specialist poses for  a photo during the 2019 Global Youth Camp at Bread of life Church international in Lusaka Zambia...

Opinion In Short, any place where there is a Transaction of Huge Sums of Money or Financial Transaction, there is need for the Presence of The Police or Security with a Fire Arm. Mobile Money booths are now transacting huge sums of Money compared to some Banks due to the advent of technology…They have taken over much of the financial transactions due to their easy methods of withdrawing and depositing Cash. However one aspect that has been ignored is the security of the agents. Probably, in any respective area there should be the presence of the Police, just as banks have the police and security firms. This can be done in a holistic approach with the Local Authorities where if an area has a lot of booths, there can be an agreed fee for security such as an Insurance Policy. Though agony is for those Booths in isolated areas, but a solution can be found with them as well, such as Panic buttons (Electronic device designed to assist in alerting somebody in emergency situations ...

It seems unemployment pressure is itching Cadres eyes amid the Covid-19 when touching your eyes is not allowed and those leading them, to some it feels as if time is waiting for no Man. By the way: “The Presence of a Cadre in any trading place brings fear to traders as long as they are in their outfit or party regalia.” Instead of making arrangements for Cadres to disturb people’s peace in trading places, The leaders should consider mobilizing them and help them out to form cooperatives, explain to them the role of the Small and Medium Enterprise Ministry. Let Technocrats seat them down and explain to them that SME ministry is for those “bamene bakonda tuma bine (those who like small business) and they are in that Category. Now to you the Cadres, going in the market and have a depo is not a Job, because one day another government will takeover and that administration will kick you out. That is not sustainable. Ask for sustainable forms of empowerment such that even when there will be a...

  Of the Accident along Great North Road in line to Zambia Police (ZP) and Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) let us analyze  the two works.   RTSA is not clear on the bus that obstructed the track on a wrong pick up point...in my opinion their investigations are incomplete. They have found the Truck Driver on the wrong, what of the Obstructer??   What lessons should Public Bus operators draw from RTSA’s investigations?   Public Buses make any point as a bus stop even on caves and slopes risking so many lives.   Also at what Speed vehicles should be drivers be at when descending a Hill at Zani Muone? What Speed was the Truck driver at? And What Speed was the Rosa Bus at, because both ends have a Slope towards Chingwere turnoff, however from Northwards the slope is greater.   Secondly Zambia Police Reported that the Accident happened around 18:40 hours when Money FM Radio arrived at the accident scene around 17:15 hours and broa...
