WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT DR. MYLES MUNROE

I must say that I knew the existence of this great man right since 2009, I saw him a couple of times on TV though I never took time to listen to what he had to say until two years back when I decided to expose myself to his literature.
This man had an extraordinary story of hope, courage and triumph, a story that has the capacity to bring lives out of despair. A matter of fact his story can light extinguished candles of hope in many lives.
Like many of us, this hero began his life at a disadvantage. He was born poor, sleeping on the floor in rags in a 2 bedroom wooden house that his dad had built for the family of 11 children where he comes 6th, in a lowest income end neighborhood of Benji- a village in the Islands of Bahamas.
Dr. Myles was a very inquisitive child, asked more questions and because of his passion to know, he gained more knowledge than any of his siblings. He grew up struggling with self-worth battling the idea of being valuable and feeling important because of the circumstances at that time.
Though poor, Pastor Myles was blessed with wise parents because when they become aware of the struggles of their children, they acted fast. They knew that they couldn’t afford to give them material things that they needed and the comfort that other families enjoyed, so they gave them knowledge of principles which were derived from the Bible. They conditioned their lives around that book and argued them to believe in themselves, to believe that everything is possible and that they can accomplish and achieve whatever goals they desired.
At the age of 13 years, he had an encounter with Jesus and he believed until his death that it was the application of these principles that made him who he was.
He believed that legacy is not the number of buildings and products you have left rather the impact you have had in peoples’ lives. At the World Conference 2014, he spoke about “how to die effectively, live beyond the grave and how to secure your legacy and pass it on”. He believed that your character is what you leave for people.
This is a question we should all answer rhetorically, if we die, what legacy will we leave behind? Remember Jesus never had a single building and as of now after over 2000 years, He has over a billion subscribers and still counting, yet he started with only 12.
R.I.P
Dr. /Pastor Myles Munroe
For sure your legacy will live on and on.

Can social distancing prevent the spread COVID-19 in Uganda?

Source: Petrol/CanStockPhoto In a country where most people live hand to mouth, and most business rely on daily consumer spend, advising people to stay home isn't viable. The brutal truth about social distancing is that people will loose wages and jobs. This will change the course of their lives in a traumatic way. We need to be able to sacrifice for each other, not only for the people who are vulnerable to Coronavirus but also to the people who maybe hurt and lose their livelihood as a result of social distancing. To some people losing their only source of survival is death in itself. Limiting social, prayer and political gathering to only 10 people while Owino, Kikuubo, Nakasero market, Nasser road and taxi parks(the most crowded places in Uganda) remain open is counter productive and defeats the understanding of many. It's similar to leaving your clothes in the dirt to dry after washing. And am not saying that these places should be closed, just pointing to the fla...

FROM ISLAM TO CHRISTIANITY: MY STORY OF COURAGE AND BOLDNESS

Every decision has consequences. Be aware! I knew it that once I take this path, questions will be raised and answers must be given. I was aware that people would be hurt, trust will get wings and takeoff, and relationships will break. I knew it for sure. Being a guy who also knew the impact of the statement "with time", I was sure that things would be normal again and acceptance would be preached after healing (which comes with time) has happened. Well I was dead wrong. Seven years on, nothing has changed much. It just takes me back to Easter Sunday of 2007 the day I made a decision that still hurts people up to now. It’s on this day, with a sound mind that I CHOOSE TO INVITE Jesus Christ in my life. A day before, I had mobilized and promised my pals that we would go to a drinking and a clubbing spree on Easter night. When I broke the news to my pals that the program was off because it was not in line with my new lifestyle, they were very disappointed. ...

FACE TO FACE WITH A PROMINENT WITCH

Going south  Early this month, I had planned a journey east across the country with a pal. It was for business and pleasure. If you asked what happened, instead I found myself to a journey this time, south of the country not even a thought ever occurred to me that I would be going to this part of the country not until later this year. I believe that it was divine though the actual cause of this sudden journey was very unfortunate. To me, it was attending the burial of my 4 months old nephew who had perished in an accident but to God it was an opportunity to minister His unfailing/ unconditional love to the people of that community. God guided me to free his people from the devil Many of them were hurt and angry with God, some were in total despair, a considerable number was sick while most of them were eager and hungry to hear the word of God. There was only one pastor who had been forced into compromise by a prominent witch. This witch comma...
