IS IT RIGHT AS A CHRISTIAN TO KEEP CHANGING CHURCHES IN THESE LAST DAYS?

Image
Nowadays, it is common to see people changing churches from one denomination to another. It is mostly Christians who do that, abandoning their old churches for Pentecostal churches. These individuals have their reasons for changing, such as seeking salvation, blessings, miracles, and personal benefits. But is it appropriate, especially in these last days, to keep changing one's faith? In Matthew 24 verse 1-51, Jesus warns us of the signs of the last days, which include the rise of many false prophets who will deceive God's people. He further states, "wherefore if they shall say unto you, behold he is in the desert, go not forth, behold he is in the secret chambers, believe it not." Today, many people desire to become prophets, and others eagerly follow them, seeking miracles and prophecies from God. However, not all who claim to be prophets are genuinely sent by God. Satan also has his prophets, aiming to deceive the children of God, including those who are genuinely

Elections are a means of filling public office through a competitive struggle for people's votes, and thus, the candidates must present valid manifestos to convince the voters. For Malawi, the 2025 presidential candidate should be someone with a vision to save the country from its economic failure. The president should prioritize the development of Malawi and not focus solely on being

THE MEDIA AND THE ELECTION

Image
             As Malawi approaches its seventh general election in 2025, it becomes crucial for the media to take the lead in informing people about the ongoing events and how the election preparations are being handled. Elections represent a means of filling public office through a competitive struggle for people's votes. During the election period, which begins with parties campaigning, the media plays an essential role and cannot be left aside. In democratic elections, the media should not show bias towards any particular party. Research has shown that most African governments, including Malawi, do not respect freedom of expression in media accessibility for political parties. South Africa's SABC is one of the few exceptions that respect this democratic principle. The opposition parties in Malawi lack opportunities to access state electronic media, which is the most effective tool to reach the masses, particularly those living in rural areas. In Malawi, the ruling party domin

                                        Culture encompasses the people's way of life, beliefs, arts, and philosophy, all of which are crucial for the development of civilization and the human society. Malawi, as a country, possesses a rich cultural heritage that endures to this day. However, certain cultural practices, like Kusasa fumbi or sexual cleansing, have diminished due to the impact of HIV/AIDS. Despite this, we still uphold various other customs, such as initiation ceremonies, storytelling traditions, traditional dances, ululation during weddings, and communal activities like attending funerals and weddings as a whole village. Preserving these customs is of utmost importance for future generations to embrace and be proud of their cultural identity. To achieve this, we can act as cultural ambassadors, practicing these traditions daily, documenting them in books, organizing significant cultural events, and incorporating them into official education systems. Initiation ceremo
