Ugandan preacher
Prophet Elvis Mbonye this week penned an open letter to the political leaders
in his country, warning them against their actions.
In the letter,
Mbonye further asked politicians to reflect on their actions bearing in mind
that their cup of rebellion is almost full and judgement will soon befall them.
While quoting the
Bible, the prophet said Uganda will be a reflection of either the righteous
being in authority, in which the people will rejoice or the wicked, in which
the people moan.
Here is the letter:
Greeting in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
To those of you who are truly committed to the
building of our nation into a desirable place to live, one we can be proud of,
thank you. However, I would be failing in my duty if I did not bring to your
attention what is Divinely required of you and urge your thoughtful
consideration. You bear heavy responsibilities especially in these times when
the threat of a global evil agenda is knocking at the door of our beloved
nation. Oh Uganda, may God uphold thee!
In the face of this danger, there is no escaping
either the gravity or the totality of this threat if we are to ensure the
survival of what truly makes us as a nation whose God is the true God. We know
from Proverbs 14:34 that "righteousness exalts a nation", and believe
me this goes beyond holding "prayer breakfasts" and merely giving God
lip service in your speeches. Therefore, I do ask every politician to
re-examine his or her own conscience as far as this imminent matter is
concerned and to recognize the nature of our country's peril.
Proverbs 29:2 says, "when the righteous are in
authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth the rule, the people
moan". Uganda will turn out to be a reflection of either the righteous
being in authority, in which the people rejoice, or the wicked, bearing the
rule in which case the people moan. The events of recent months will help to
illuminate your stand in matters concerning God's agenda and or otherwise the
enemy's global agenda. Please, don't give us reason to suspiciously watch you.
For instance, there are conditions which the Ugandan
people would never consent to. So I hope you bear this in mind as one who truly
cares not only for the well being but also for the freedom of the people or
else it would tantamount to some kind of raping of human rights. Using a
crisis, a time to darkness, to pass or impose certain laws would not be any
different from the time that was chosen by Jesus' detractors to arrest Him;
"when I was daily with in the temple ye stretched forth no hands against
me: but THIS IS YOUR HOUR, and the power of darkness"- Luke 22:53.
Unfortunately, you have not even spared place of
worship as your tentacles have spread across and seen and felt. The
"clergy" who have been infected by dirty politics have brought this
contagious bug to the churches, infecting the flock with it and thus ravaging
it by causing division using the hate that is witnessed. You must guard against
the acquisition of unwarranted influence, especially when it extends to matters
of faith.
Guard against the temptation of playing God like
other States have seemingly done, because if you do, you can count on us to
resist you with our very life: "and they overcame him by the blood of the
lamb, and by the word of their testimony. AND THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO
DEATH" - Revelation 12:11. We are as a people inherently and historically
devoted to God. And also please, stop the arrogance of trying to resist certain
men and women of God just because they are not your preference by deciding for
the people who they should or should not listen to. This is also playing God we
will resist it.
Dear politician, if it looks like tyranny, talks
like tyranny and walks like tyranny it is not constitutional democracy. This
self deluded arrogance which goes like this: "my version of Christianity
is right, and yours is wrong, and because you are wrong, your freedom of
worship doesn't need to be taken into account", should have no place in a
civilized society. Look at the historical tyrannies and show me the difference
between them and this kind of attitude. There is none.
Dear politician, don't get us to the place where we
have to make a choice between you and God: "judge for yourselves whether
it is right in God's sight to listen to you rather than God" - Acts 4:19.
Be God- conscious in your responsibilities. Surround yourself with real men and
women of God; the ones you can consult with about the mind of God concerning
any matter, not the ones that are merely your puppets. The good news is such
men and women who hear God exist. The bad news is these are the ones that have
fallen prey to the slandering, blackmailing, patronizing and lying machinery of
the dirty politician. The naive segment of the public has been hoaxed by this
machinery of dirty politicians.
Dear politician, these issues are for you to deal
with. No other person will deal with them for you. In these last days, those
who make themselves our enemies, that is, enemies of God, are setting
themselves up for a fall. They are "kicking against the pricks". The
cup of their rebellion is almost full before God, waiting to be poured upon
them in judgement.
Dear politician, you can ignore God but you cannot
ignore the consequences of ignoring God.
