Pray for our Nation’s economy

“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)


We’ve been reading in papers and watching on every single TV station of the price fluctuations all over the world. In Uganda right now, an average person can’t even afford a kilo of sugar! The rate is becoming so alarming.

Further still, on Sunday, Owino Market got so totally burned down! This is equally so alarming, considering the many people who depended on that market for their source of livelihood.

We cannot neglect these people. Mordecai told Esther that if she did not intercede for the Jews, help would come from elsewhere, but then Esther wouldn’t expect to be included. I say the same; we cannot ignore all the people suffering out there. We may be able to buy the sugar, continue driving our cars, even when the fuel prices are crazily increasing, e.t.c, but let’s not forget to pray and even help the average person who is perishing of hunger and poverty, in a world that should have more. We need God’s intervention. Pray fervently; for “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16b)

It’s our responsibility to pray unceasingly for our nation, our government, our economy and all our cabinet leaders.

Let’s pray that God will give our leaders divine wisdom to lead our nation, and to lead us successfully out of this economic crises. We need to pray for God’s glory to be revealed as Isaiah states it in Isaiah 40:5.

Father God, times are hard they say; many people are losing their jobs and other sources of livelihood; others are dying of starvation, all over the world. No one can tell how long this crisis shall last. No assurance can be given to all who grope in the dark. But I believe, dear Father that this too, shall pass, and there is no trial we cannot be able to conquer with faith in our spirits and courage in our hearts. Protect us dear God first of all from despair. Let not our minds be anxious but let our spirits have peace that surpasses all understanding. May we never lose our hope. May we never lose sight of our awaited morning when milk and honey shall flow into our land once again. May we walk with steadfast feet. May we work with steady hands. And may we always believe that miracles still happen, for they do happen even now as we pray. Let your abounding Grace cloak us with blessings and may your strength keep us from every harm. Vanquish the fears that wish only to cast doubt and hopelessness. Replace it with a love that never fails, a love that heals and prevails, a love to keep us warm as we hold on to each other and as we await the abundant land which You have promised us with your kind and mighty Hand!

Oh Uganda, May God uphold thee!!

Whats up with the world now???

Since the year begun, it looks like everything is just going so wierd. whatsup? There have been like endless series of uprisings all over the world, with no one trying to explain their real motives. Are we trying to start a 3rd world war??? dont incriminate me...just wondering out loud.

Well, now for Uganda, i give up. By the time the five-year term is finished, i dont know how old the president will have gotten, thats if he's really working, coz the stress thats going on, bambi, is just so enough to make a young boy turn grey...if they are really working.

Just imagine, its like less than 2 years since Owino market caught fire, and now its down again, and looking so worse than before...!!! Who is behind the fires??? Why cant he/she/they be tracked down and seriously punished or even banished?? coz thats a real serious offence being committed there!

On the other hand, could it be that some political people just want to sell off that land or use it for other purposes, and cant achieve it coz these business people wont give up the land??? so they resort to destroying these people's lives??? the world is just so unfair! These people dont have...they are trying to survive with their families...those who have cant even rest until they take away even the so little that these poor vendors are tryng to survive on!!!!??? why must it be so???

Think of whats going on in Norway. The country, for along time was known as the most peaceful and best place to stay in for anyone in this world. They have contributed so much to so many countries. Why would such a thing happen to them? what entered that guy's head, if not the devil himself??? seriously.... Time to real intercede for this world! Or atleast prepare your souls for departure.

trust me, i so totally dont understand this world anymore. i better hurry and accomplish what i was sent for and vanish, kubanga..the world is getting more and more intolerable!

Otherwise, we need to really pray for this nation. My heart goes to the vendors who have lost all their source of livelihood in that fire, and also the Norwegians who have lost loved ones. May the good Lord avenge your enemies. And may He bless you with peace and comfor even amidst all the craz turmoil. Amen!
