‘Malawi under generational curse’
A ministry within the Living Waters Church (LWC) has propagated that Malawi is under a generational curse, which is dragging the nation from achieving her socio-economic dreams.
It has even challenged that no matter how much assistance Malawi can get from its development partners; there will be no significant progress in achieving ‘socio-economic aspirations’ because the curse will keep frustrating the efforts.
During an exclusive interview last week, the ministry’s steering committee chairperson, Dings Mpota, assured that everything will be alright. He said the ministry has organised national deliverance prayers to purge the nation from evil spirits that are holding the nation at ransom.
Mpota said Bishop Charles Kapenga of Ntcheu LWC will lead the ceremony, which is slated for September 14 at Robins Park in Blantyre from 8am to 4pm.
“A nation, just like a family or a company, may be under a curse because of the sins of forefathers. Usually, such a curse is the source of poverty and all social woes a family or nation may have to go through. People need to realise this and seek God’s intervention,” explained Mpota.
He blamed ‘generational curse’ on most of the problems most Malawians are going through despite working or running businesses where they earn a lot of money.
Citing Romans 1: 18 and 1Timothy 4: 1, Mpota asked:
“Haven’t you wondered that despite more aid pouring in, we seem to have stagnated. This is because evil spirits have blinded our leaders so that they use their money for unnecessary purposes. It’s for this reason that we want to pray for the nation to be delivered from this curse.”
He said the prayers are open to people of all faiths, but was quick to advise people to bring their own meals as the ministry has made no provision for food for participants.
He said the national flag will be a symbol for the ceremony and appealed to ‘those who can manage’ to bring their own flags or dress in black, green and red regalia—colours for the national flag—to signify the importance of national unity.
