The vision of the International
Mission Board is to see a multitude from every language, people, tribe and
nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ
This past week I had to confront
one of our pastor concerning false teaching that has permeated East Africa Christendom.
In visiting one of the church in our association of churches, I noticed a calendar
of a prominent Kampala pastor quoting from Deuteronomy 28:6 “Blessed
shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.” There was an enormous picture of the pastor at
the top of the poster; there were much smaller pictures of other sister churches
associated with her and a small 2015 calendar in the middle. The pastor declared a “war on poverty” in 2015. The message proclaimed from calendar was believers
should clam their blessing in 2015 and when you send monies to me, I will tell
you how you can receive your blessing this year.
Many profess pastors have people
being monies they do not have so the pastor can pray for them to receive
blessings. As Christian leaders we must protect
the Church of Christ because of these and other false teachings which drew from
the message of salvation.
The believers
must be reminded:
1But false prophets also arose
among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will
secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought
them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will
follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
3And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their
condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
2 Peter 2:1-3 ESV.
Continue
to pray for us as we teach, disciple, train and mentor Ugandan pastors and church
leaders to… 15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a
worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 ESV
