Pastor Simeon Kayiwa of Namirembe Christian Fellowship in Mengo has urged politicians to stop interfering in church affairs as a stepping stone to building their political careers because this is weakening the church.

While addressing the media at the Mengo based church about the upcoming Pastors fire conference which will be presided over by an American Philanthropist Dr. Michelle Caralan , Professor Simeon Kayiwa urged politicians to desist from mixing political issues in church matters because even in the Western world, there are people who don’t believe in homosexuality.

Kayiwa said that the church is weakening especially on the African continent to the countries like Uganda because of such acts and it’s time to bring all people together near to God through prayers so that they never turn back to satanic acts of homosexuality.

“We shall not welcome any one dealing in homosexuality, not even the pope if he tries to come back to Uganda, we welcome the Church of Uganda’s firm stand against this act and Ugandans too who believe in their norms and culture. Not every white person believes in homosexuality, that’s why Dr. Michelle is coming for a two days prayer conference in Uganda,” said Prof. Simeon Kayiwa.

Dr. Michelle Carralan will be in Uganda for a two days Pastors Conference which will attract more than 100 pastors from around the global at Nsambya Sharing Hall Kampala from the 8th to 9^th August 2023 .

Dr. Michelle is the founder, pastor and president of Breath of the spirit Ministries International and she has been ministering for more than 45 years.

Thousands of believers flocked Kololo Independence grounds to Pray, Praise and worship the Almighty God.

This was during the Independence Night prayers organised by House of Prayer Ministries International pastor, Aloysious Bujjingo.

Believers from different parts of the country and abroad withstood the rain to worship and pray from Friday 6:00am to Saturday 6:00am.

Independence night prayers are organized every year every year towards independence.

Pr. Bujjingo revealed that just like Uganda was able to get independence in 1962 from the British, he decided to organise these prayers to pray for believers so that they are liberated from whatever is distressing their lives.

The theme for this year’s prayers was ‘Pursue, Overtake and Recover All’, from 1 Samuel 30:8 where King David inquired from God concerning launching an attack on Israel’s enemy, the Amalekites, “Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.”

Pr. Bujjingo told believers that through constant prayer, trust and faith in the Almighty God, He will give them victory in anything that they need and pray for including fighting their enemies both seen and unseen just like He did for David.

He further told believers to always depend and rely fully on God for a good life here on earth and also for the inheritance of eternal life.

Believers were seen in deep prayer with some rolling on the floor as they were delivered from demons.

During prayers, Pr. Bujjingo invited his spiritual father, Pr. Simeon Kayiwa, the Vice Chancellor for Kayiwa University who appreciated him so much for saving his brother former Member of Parliament, Kato Lubwama.

Through a song, Pr. Simeon noted that Lubwama loves Pr. Bujjingo so much that he (Lubwama) tried to understand how to pray.

“I know most of you people were not aware that Kato Lubwama is my biological brother and that we share the same mother,” he said.

He added, “I know he is not saved but I believe one day he will because he loves you (Bujjingo) so much. Thank you for loving him too.”

Bujjingo prayed through the rain which started at 2:00pm and stopped at 5;00pm leaving many socked in water but that did not stop them from worshiping and praying to God.

During the night prayers at 11:00pm, Bujjingo introduced his wife, Suzan Makula and the couple excited believers when they danced the “kinyarwanda dance”.

Over 2000 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ.
