They'll Know We Are Christians...
Church accused of kidnapping rival's bodyguard.
Think the churches in your neighborhood don't get along? Then, this should put things in perspective: The pastor of Rubaga Miracle Centre in Kampala, Uganda, has accused the pastor of Omega Healing Centre of trying to destroy his reputation by 1) kidnapping and torturing his personal aide and 2) bribing the aide to accuse him of sexually abusing boys.
Omega Healing Centre's pastor, Michael Kyazze, denies he was involved in kidnapping:
I have never been engaged in as nefarious and criminal an act of kidnapping. My struggle has been and will continue to be the fight for the increasing number of victims of sodomy in our society. If it has been interpreted as an effort to discredit Pastor Kayanja, then it is both unfortunate and a dangerous insinuation.
This comes soon after an assistant pastor of Omega Healing Centre was arrested while trespassing at Rubaga Miracle Centre, allegedly while trying to investigate Kayanja .
The aide is currently recovering in a Kampala hospital.
Uganda’s New Vision reported the story and says it highlights growing tension among competing Pentecostal churches. The Daily Monitor says "Cases of alleged homosexuality in churches have now become common." New Vision says rival pastors also accuse each other of witchcraft.

And we call ourselves Christians?!?!?!? Shucks, the devil has to do nothing to run people away from Christ. We Christians are quite competent at doing that ourselves

I happen to know one of the guys(David Mukalazi) accusing pastor Kayanja of Sodomy, well my opinion is that it can only be true. I have personally known David Mukalazi for the last 15years and he is one of the most honest people i have known in my entire life. He is a person of high moral standing and would have nothing much to gain from accusing pastor Kayanja. I met him 15years ago when he was still living with Pastor Kayanja. David Mukalazi is not a desperate broke young man but a modestly well to do young man according to Ugandan standards. He is a successful music producer with a stable income and would have nothing much to gain from publicly putting his credibility and social standing at risk.

May the church of Christ stand for the true victims in this case that is sweeping Uganda. Like in many parts of the world, powerful people(in church or government or industry)usually get away with a lot.
If this pastor is accused by more than 5 people of rape, he should be investigated. Isaiah 58 talks about the kind of fasting God wants christians to do; meaning to break the yoke of oppression, to speak for the suffering and to fight for justice. May the Lord God bring justice in this case to both the accused and the accusers.

Pastor Michael Kyazze is known to me for more than 20 years.He is credible Pastor who will not lose his christin values to material.He will not keep quiet in a degenerating society.He will not pull some one down for material gain and will do his own research to see the magnitude of the problem before airing it out

Love, joy, peace, mercy, and grace, from God Almighty, our heavenly Father, and from His only begotten and beloved Son Lord Jesus, be with you and with all your loved ones.
My dear friend, the following is the central message for my work in this present and temporary world, and is all truth and no lie, to make your way more perfect:
These are the words of God:
To live forever = everlasting life = neverending life in paradise = heaven = the kingdom of God and Christ = with Christ in his throne as Christ is with the Father in His throne in a new and glorious body like that of an angel with everlasting peace and joy, you must be truly "born again" = truly "saved". In other words, read all of the following, believe every word with all your heart, nothing doubting, do it as best as you are able, as much as lies within you, and share it with those able to receive it and who want to hear what you have to say. If you do, then, for you, THE BEST IS YET TO COME ! ! ! ! ! ! !
This is the original and one and only correct doctrine of repentance, Christ, the Godhead, baptism, and the commandments of God. It was the truth when the church (those in the body of Christ, of which Christ is the head. It is not a denomination or a congregation.) began about 2,000 years ago. For those that believed, and showed their faith by their love, there were many miracles, no fear of living or of man or of dying, and a joyful anticipation of the world to come, world without end.
Repent of your sins. Apologize sincerely, with a broken spirit and a contrite heart, to others for sins against them (even sins done in secret, such as adultery, fornication, or cheating on your income tax), and to God Almighty, our heavenly Father, in the name of and through His only begotten and beloved Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for sins against others, against yourself, and against all of heaven. If you do not come to God with a clean and pure heart, He will not hear your prayers, will withhold blessings, and may even curse you with a curse. If you are pleasing to God, and not ashamed to confess Lord Jesus as the Son of God before man, then He will answer your prayers, but in His time, and in His place, and in His manner, and usually when you are not expecting it, to know that He is God. Our heavenly Father knows that we are not perfect. Just have a perfect heart: try your best, and say you are sorry and really mean it when you do not.
Believe with all your heart, and confess with your mouth, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (He is not God. He is not both the Father and the Son. Actually, the Word of God is the Son of God. God spoke everything into existence by, through, and for His Son, but not "spoke" as a man understands. His Word was put in a body in the virgin Mary and called Jesus: Jesus Christ is the living Word of God, and we should be living the word of God, as is contained in the written word of God. The King James Version = KJV of the Holy Bible is the only English-language Holy Bible completely inspired of God, and correctly translated in the spirit from the original Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek texts. All other English-language versions, including the New King James Version = NKJV, are of the devil, who tempted man to write them. The devil changed the English language, and continues to do so, and now claims that the KJV is outdated and hard to understand, and that other versions have their good points.), born of the virgin Mary, never sinned, nor was there any guile in his mouth (If he descended from the first married couple, Adam and Eve, then he would have the sin of the flesh which passed down through many generations to us, but he did not, so his pure and precious blood cleanses us from all sin.), suffered horribly, shed his blood, and died on the cross for our sins, so that our sins be forgiven, that after 3 days and 3 nights, God raised him from the dead, that after 40 days, he ascended up to heaven in a cloud to be seated at the right hand of God, all angels, authorities, and powers being made subject unto him, that God will send him again in like manner to judge the dead and those that are alive at his coming, that he will deliver those that are his at his coming up to God (our heavenly Father), and then the Son also himself will be subject to Him that put all things under Him that God may be all in all.
Be baptized completely under the water (it must be water) by exactly one immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (not Holy Spirit) when you are old enough to understand all this, to know to refuse the evil and choose the good, and to know that this is absolutely necessary for eternal (everlasting) (neverending) life, for forgiveness of past sins (but, for future sins, we have an intercessor = a mediator with God in Christ), and to receive the Holy Ghost (The Holy Ghost is also known as the Comforter. The Holy Ghost is not God. God (the Father), Lord Jesus (the Son), and the Holy Ghost (the Comforter) are a team, three of a kind: one in Spirit, one in will, and one in holiness, but each with a separate identity and a separate life.) and gifts of the Holy Ghost to have understanding of spiritual things (things of the Spirit of God), and to resist the devil, buried and resurrected with Christ, and baptized into the body of Christ, called his church, of which Christ is the head, dead to (no longer justified by) the laws given to Moses, and completely justified (and, by the way, it is God who justifies, and not any man) by your faith in Christ and in his righteousness (there is no righteousness in a man).
Now that you are "born again" = "saved", here is your duty in this present time, world, body and life:
Fear God and Lord Jesus (but, do not fear any man), and keep (do) the commandments of God, spoken by His Word = His Son. and contained in the KJV New Testament. His commandments are briefly comprehended by these two great commandments:
Love God and Lord Jesus first, most, and always, even more than your life in the flesh, and the life of your loved ones, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Treat others the way you want others to treat you, and the way you want to be treated on judgment day = the day of Jesus Christ = the day of vengeance of the Lord. Your faith is shown by your love. If you have no good works (deeds), if you have no good words, if you see someone suffering or in need and have no compassion and show them no mercy, if you gossip about them or accuse them to others, if they get into trouble and you do not try to help them, if you think you are better than they are, or think they are worse than you are, then your faith is false, and was never written in your heart.
Now, this is just the beginning. There is so much more.
Here are some other needful things:
Meditate on the word of God night and day.
Submit to God.
Be humble.
Thank God and Lord Jesus, and pray to them, for everything, always.
Grow in Christ.
Endure to the end.
Walk after the Spirit, and not after the flesh.
Preach THIS gospel.
Walk and talk with your Father and with your Lord: they are alive!! And, THEY ARE our faith ! ! ! ! ! ! !
There are writings referred to in the KJV Holy Bible, such as the book of Iddo, that God has not made available to us, to know that our knowledge comes from the one true living God, in the name of His Son Lord Jesus, and by way of the Holy Ghost, and not just from a few writings of God. There are many other writings of God that were written and words of God that were spoken by His prophets and that will be written and that will be spoken by His prophets, there are many other visions and dreams of God that His prophets had and will have, there are many other revelations of God that were revealed to His prophets and that will be revealed to His prophets, there are many other miracles of God that have occurred and that will occur to His prophets, and there are many things spoken by the angels of heaven to His prophets and that will be spoken by the angels of heaven to His prophets. Do not worship a book rather than the one true living God and His only begotten and beloved Son Lord Jesus.
These have been the words of God.
With the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, with brotherly love, with love from above,
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
Fred
