Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,Hi Kato,l am called R---- and happen to be regular visitor to your website yesumulungi which I must commend youfor. it is a breathe of fresh air as far as gospel of Jesus Christ is concerned.I used to be a regular viewer of lighthouse television in Uganda but I must confess I ended up being more confused on very many issues in the gospel because I observed that there many clashing views and opinions by different teleevangelists and so when I came across your website it helped me a lot get the right picture on many things in the bible.
Anywhere the main purpose of this text was to seek your opinion on the recent church diaster on March 8 of the collapse of the city of the lord church in kalerwe. Was this confirmation of the dream God gave and posted it on your website on November 10th 2005 as"Tornado dream-whirlwind of the Lord in Uganda" ?
Is Pastor Godfrey Luwagga of this mega church a false preacher?
Was this the Lord's judgment on false preachers,teachers and prophets?
Because I have listened in to some christian fm Radios and prominent pastors here in Kampala say this was an ordinary incident of bad weather and nothing else?
I will be highly greatful if you can throw more light on the above issues.
God bless
Robert.

Greetings Robert
Thanks for the e-mail and comments concerning the website. Thanks for all your prayers too as you know Truth telling is no easy task in light of the deception sweeping the Church...but this is the hour that those who Truly love Jesus Christ should stand for Truth and be a true witness for Jesus Christ. Let those who love Jesus Christ and His Holy Word in Truth Stand Up!
I have found that many Pastors in Kampala, Uganda are simply not serious when it comes to the Bible. Many are not serious students of God’s Holy Word and simply like a quick fix gospel of blessings, riches, mega buildings and deliverance coupled with special favors from the political establishments.
I think from my findings, is that many simply don't read their bibles...that is why we have very strange doctrines and teachings in many churches...but this is a time for lay Christians to arm themselves with Bible Truth...the greatest weapon against lies from Satan is God's Holy Word...
However, there is a true remnant whom God has preserved and their desire is to walk in Truth, to walk according to God’s Holy Word and by the Holy Spirit. These Remnant are not men pleasers or in efforts of seeking out political favors. These are they that have chosen to enter by the Narrow Gate and walk the Difficult path…while carrying their Cross daily and following Christ Jesus in His footsteps…
Salvation and the Message of the Cross are becoming obsolete on many pulpits and instead a gospel of convenience and one that entertains the Rich is being welcomed in many churches in Kampala and the world over. This is the ‘Great Falling Away’ or the Apostasy that Paul speaks about in 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
(1) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
(2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
(3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
(4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The Greek word for ‘A Falling Away ‘ is Apostasia = Defection From Truth…
Strongs G646
apostasia
ap-os-tas-ee'-ah
Feminine of the same as G647; defection from truth (properly the state), (“apostasy”): - falling away, forsake.
So, The Great Falling Away is happening in Kampala and Uganda right now while the Church leaders continue their preaching of prosperity, money, wealth, health and Political favors from the Elite…this is nothing short of Capitalistic Christianity…or what I love to call Babylonian Christianity…this is a sign that we are truly in the Last Days… So, Salvation is personal and cannot be obtained from pulpits and pastors but only through Christ Jesus and His Cross; each has to bare their Cross, follow Jesus Christ and even when it calls for death, you MUST be willing to die for Jesus Christ… Salvation, Truth and The Word of God will certainly cost you. It is only the Apostates who have a smooth sail, it is an easy and Broad way for them and there are many who find it…
Matthew 7:13-14
(13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
(14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
The Church Collapse in Kampala, Uganda…
About the Church Collapse, I was very saddened by the death of many innocent Christians who had attended that meeting to discern false prophets and teachers...it is my prayer that The Lord will comfort the relatives and friends of the Christians who died and heal those still in Hospital... Their spiritual fight, hunger and thirst for Truth was not in vain...they died hungry for Truth to set them free from False Prophets and False Teachers who ’Act’ as 'Men and Women of God' in and around Kampala...

- Church Collapse in Uganda as reported by CNN
What I understand is that the Christians hired out these church premises to conduct their anti-false prophet/teacher seminar. They came from different places in and around Kampala and might not have been directly connected with the Pastor of the Church that Collapsed. So, could it have been that this seminar was held in a physically and spiritually none secure place? All that is now being left to speculation, but yes, the building was physically very unsecure…
However, if there was any Judgment from The Lord, I believe it was not directed at the innocent Saints who were in search for Biblical Truth but I believe the judgment was and is still directed at Kampala’s fast becoming Apostate Pastors and so-called Apostles who stood to gain the limelight from this tragic and sad incident… The days ahead will continue to reveal the hearts of these so-called Mega Church Pastors and Leaders and their flip-flopping when it comes to Truth…
While having said that, the truth is that many Pastors in Kampala will say they are fighting against a certain false prophet and teacher while they themselves live and preach error...so it ends up becoming Satan verses Satan... I am not subjecting the dead and hurt innocent Truth seeking Christians to such brutal criticism from me; they are innocent church lay people in thirst for Truth which many times their pastors don't offer, if they do, they will do so with strings attached...and with hypocrisy just to retain sheep in their churches....
I am not saying that this is what happened to the Kalerwe Church Collapse but am speaking about the church leaders who are becoming more and more apostate and only blame a few false prophets while they themselves are wolves in sheep clothing… If there is anything to be seen from the Kalerwe Church Collapse is that it has exposed the hypocrisy of the Born-again Church Leaders in Kampala.
It is amazing that the local press reported how the Pastor of the Church Collapse is a “Strong NRM supporter” , meaning he is one of those political pastors who had turned God’s Church into a political machine during past February 2006 elections. I understand that one of the topics being discussed was the issue of Political Christianity and how some pastors were reportedly bribed by politicians for votes and they forced church members to vote for certain political candidates or face ‘Curses’ and ‘Bad omens’…

-Church Collapse Pastor a strong NRM political supporter
The issue of what is a Church is also a problem to many in Africa, especially here in Uganda. Many have been deceived by Prosperity preachers that the Church is the building and as such huge emphasis is placed on building Mega Churches and wasting money and resources that would have been otherwise spent on the Saints who come from very poor backgrounds. Many of those false prophets/teachers/pastors promise their members Heaven on Earth if they are to Give, Tithe so that the House of God is built. As such Pastors often get in competition with one another over building projects. They all love to be known as having the largest church in town. This leads to building projects that are very dangerous and never supervised by local government officials in fear that the Political Elites who are allies of the Political Pastors will witch hunt the City Engineers.
But the question is do we really need these Mega Church Buildings? Where in the Bible do we find such churches? The early Church fellowshipped in homes and only one reference to a huge collecting center of people in the Book of Acts was Solomon’s Porch but this was an open area and in the City of Jerusalem at the time and not a construction building as some want us to believe. So, it is time that Church Leaders in Uganda reconsider this Mega Church building craze that is being done at the expense of the poor and now even lives of innocent saints.
What is amazing and also shocking is that the Pastor of the Collapsed Church and the Leaders of Mega Churches in Kampala have teamed up to collected and fundraise money to rebuild this killer church building. It is astonishing that these pastors are not speaking about organizing another seminar to educate the church about discerning false prophets/teachers, what these pastors are interested in is Temples made with human hands and not the spiritual Temple where The Holy Spirit dwells.
They are interested in making a name for themselves at the expense of Truth in the Body of Christ. Such hypocrisy is flabbergasting; it shows how decayed our leaders in the born again churches have become…Money, Buildings, Fame and Earthly possessions take preeminence over serious Spiritual Matters…what they care for is the Temple made with Hands of Man but they care less about the Spiritual Temple where the Holy Spirit Dwells…
It is amazing that these Pastors in Kampala have vowed to rebuild the Collapsed City of The Lord Church while they speak nothing about helping the injured and taking care of the orphans and relatives of the dead. So, the welfare of the relatives of those who died and those injured is no big concern the Pastors in Kampala under the umbrella of National Born Again Churches; all they care about is raising money to set up another building. These pastors made a few shouts at the Funeral Service for the deceased calling upon people to help the injured and care for the relatives of the dead but that was it. Now the talk is Church building…another Man made temple must be constructed soon and you guessed it, the talk now is ‘money, money, money cometh‘.
The Pastor of the Collapsed City of The Lord Church is not ashamed to say that they spent millions of shillings to build the collapsed church and that they have already spent another millions of shillings to a local Architect and engineer to rebuild the Church…wow!… This is why I said that if there was judgment in this church collapse it was directed and is still directed at the Leadership of the Born-again Christians in Uganda… It has exposed their hearts - The Love of Money…

-Church Collapse Pastors Vow to Rebuild Church
Hypocrisy can be seen clearly with Kayanja and other Mega Pastors attending the Funeral service at Nakivubo for the deceased who died in the Church Collapse and using the occasion for Religious Political gain while at the same time covering the shame that Kayanja and Sserwada brought on the Body of Christ in Uganda during this past Elections in which Kayanja came up with dubious political prophesies and Sserwada turned the Church of Jesus Christ into a political machine...
Kayanja and Sserwada used the limelight and all the TV camera to hide their shame. People had seen Kayanja’s Political prophesies fail and Sserwada commit Political Spiritual whoredom. However, these leaders refused to apologies for their sins and used this occasion to show their presence at the funeral service of those who died opposing false prophets/teachers such as those who promote political Christianity and dominionism to which Kayanja and Sserwada fall.

- Big Name Pastors like Kayanja Attend Funeral Service…

-Political and Dominionist Christianity; Documentary on Kayanja, Sserwada Dominionism
These 'Mega Pastors' of Kampala are very guilty of Political Christianity and the Prosperity - Get Rich Gospel and it should have been orderly for them to repent of these false teachings at least in honor of the Christians who died while holding an anti-false prophet/teacher seminar in a unsafe building.
Kayanja has never apologized for his political prophesies and neither has Sserwada repented of his leading the Church to spiritual whoredom. Instead we had Mega Pastors show themselves off in the National Stadium at the funeral of the dead to simply enjoy the national spotlight while hiding their smelling soiled pants of false prophesies and turning the Lord‘s Church into a political football thus committing spiritual whoredom...
These guys always speak peace, peace when surely Peace is not what is coming ahead...there is no holiness, righteousness but only a gospel of peace, prosperity, riches, greed, and who owns the latest SUV, and largest Church in the City...and Man Control Church hierarchies...these are the ones to whom God is speaking with a voice of judgment and a call to repentance...they have denied their constituents Truth from God's Word...
So, they are now busy organizing to rebuild the collapsed church...they are unashamed of their spiritual whoredom with the Political world...they have lost their Moral Platform and now they cannot stand to speak words of Moral Authority and Truth since they sold their hearts for Political Religious favors...as such a sad day came to the Ugandan Born Again Church...it became partisan and very political and lost her Bible Moral Platform and Authority from the Word of God...Political and Religious alliances have never worked and that is the situation we have in the Uganda Balokole and their blind leaders today...Constantine tried his unholy alliance with the Church in 313 AD and what resulted was the Roman Catholic Church and their infamous Inquisition and Crusades that brought about contempt to the Name of The Lord…

So, Judgment came to the Evangelical Church in Uganda but it was NOT directed at the innocent Saints who were out in search for Biblical Truth. Judgment was and is STILL directed at the Leaders of the Kampala Churches who have loved wealth, prosperity, health, materialism, fame, political Christianity and all kinds of apostasy and abominations while hating Truth. This judgment has and is still exposing the nakedness of the Apostate Church Leaders of Uganda in Kampala…
About if this City of The Lord Church Collapse incidence was a fulfillment of a dream and premonition I posted on my website, I will leave that to the readers judgment. However, the parallels are interesting.

-The Tornado/Whirlwind in Uganda Dream
My prayer is that the Saints should not give up their hunger and thirst for the Truth in God’s Word and the Kingdom of God, for they will surely be satisfied by the Heavenly Father. I pray that Christians in Uganda won’t stop exposing the wolves in sheep skins and will continue to contend earnestly for their faith even as the Saints who died in the Collapsed Church were doing…
Matthew 5:6
(6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Jude 1:2-4
(2) Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
(3) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
(4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yes, the need for safer meeting places both physically and spiritually needs to be considered and (True Saints in Christ have Free Covering in Jesus Christ - no need for a “Man of God” Spiritual Covering ) also the command to come out of Babylon and be separate and Holy unto The Lord and not make any pacts with False Pastors who pretend to be fighting false prophets when they themselves are wolves in sheep clothing…lets exercise all discernment basing on God’s Holy Word. Don’t be deceived by those false pastors/preachers/prophets who say this was judgment because the Anti-false prophets/teachers seminar was “touching the anointed” of God…please read my article “To Judge or Judge Not?”
http://www.yesumulungi.com/Commentary/Comment42.htm
-To Judge or To Judge Not?
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
(14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Revelation 18:4
(4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Continue the fight for this is a spiritual war going on and yes, a time will come that persecutions will increase and the World will unite to fight against Christ Jesus and His Elect and the Anti Christ will kill some but we are victorious in Christ Jesus…so, don’t be discouraged, continue to expose these false preachers and teachers and Speak Truth in Love based on God’s Holy Word…
Servant of Jesus Christ
