Bring everyone under your roof—your wife, your children, and even your maid. This prayer is for the whole household
In his sermon, Pastor Bujjingo outlined a stark reality facing many households, citing pervasive issues such as intense family conflicts, debilitating poverty, demonic influences, and the looming threat of divorce. He emphasized that these problems require not just practical solutions but profound spiritual healing.
“Families are under attack,” Pastor Bujjingo told the congregation. “This week, we are standing in the gap to pray for healing, unity, and protection over our families. We are praying for our children as they prepare to return to school, that they may be shielded from negative influences and excel in their studies.”
In a strong call to action, he encouraged every head of a household to bring their entire family to the church services this week, explicitly including domestic workers. “Bring everyone under your roof—your wife, your children, and even your maid. This prayer is for the whole household,” he urged.
The prayer schedule is intensive, with services running from Monday through Saturday. The week will feature a special night prayer session on Friday, offering members multiple opportunities to seek divine intervention collectively.
Drawing from biblical scripture, Pastor Bujjingo used the example of Abraham to charge Christians to hold onto their faith. “In these times of trouble, we must act like Abraham and not lose faith, trust, and hope in God. He is a faithful God who keeps His promises,” he preached.
He also offered crucial advice on managing personal struggles, cautioning believers against the indiscriminate sharing of their problems. “You must learn to control your tongue. Not everything should be shared with human beings, not even with your wives or husbands. Some battles are spiritual and must be shared with God in prayer. Take your vulnerabilities to the altar, not to people who may not understand or help,” he advised.
The prayer and fasting season is a spiritual preparation for the church's flagship event, the Independence Night, where thousands are expected to gather at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds to pray for the nation in a night of worship, praise, and intercession.
