Deputy
Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah says President Museveni is like
Jesus Christ who left his comfort zone of heaven and opted to come down
to earth to die for sinners.
Addressing Christians from Kigezi
sub-region who gathered at Rugarama hill to celebrate 80 years of the
revival of Christianity in East Africa, Mr Oulanyah, who represented
President Museveni, urged the Christians to stick to Mr Museveni because
of his belief in the freedom of worship.
“There was a time in
Uganda where people had no right of worship. Thanks to President
Museveni and the NRM government that ushered in peace and security and
promoting right of worship.
Christians and all believers in this
country should cling onto President Museveni because he protects their
right to worship. Make President Museveni your spiritual hero for
continued development in Uganda,” Mr Oulanyah said.
In his message, Mr Museveni said the power of the church to influence society was waning.
“When
we look at the church today and our ability to affect society, we
realise that we do not have the power of those that came before us. The
men and women of the past era had revival powers given to them by God.
We need to pray to God to give us such powers.
Revival in East
Africa was characterised by deep remorse of sin. All barriers crumbled
and seemed less significant,” Mr Museveni message read.
The revival conference was organised by Kigezi Diocese. Bishops from Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya attended.
The
Archbishop Church of Uganda, Stanley Ntagali, who was the main
preacher, asked church leaders in Uganda to offer extra pastoral care to
the Christian youth.
