Ask not what Jesus can do for you, but what you can do for Him

In an opinion piece published by the Lusaka Times in Zambia, writer Edward Chisanga reflects on personal prayer habits and the common tendency to focus on material and personal requests directed toward Jesus. The commentary questions why believers frequently ask for basic provisions such as food, water, and family protection, suggesting a shift in perspective regarding religious devotion.

The piece challenges traditional prayer practices by proposing that individuals should focus less on what Jesus can provide for them and instead concentrate on what actions they can take in service to Him.
