Pastor Walubendi (not his real name), is my pastor and a man of calm demeanor, except when he is in the pulpit in combat with the devil. He volleyed and thundered, putting on a different personality. Despite the church’s hardline stand on gambling, he joined one of the leading betting sites in the country. But that story, I will tell u later on in this article.
First things first; one Sunday morning during the English service, Mr Walubendi deliberately skipped a verse. Despite efforts by the lay reader to correct this, he pressed on. "Today’s reading is from the book of Proverbs 13:10-12" he said,” Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. Err.....Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life."
