FRC praises Uganda

Longtime President Yoweri Museveni observed Uganda’s 50th anniversary of independence by publicly repenting of personal and national sin. “I stand here on my own behalf and on behalf of my predecessors to repent. “We ask for your forgiveness… We confess these sins, which have greatly hampered our national cohesion and delayed our political, social and economic transformation. We confess sins of idolatry and witchcraft…shedding innocent blood, sins of political hypocrisy, dishonesty, intrigue and betrayal…” After confessing many more sins, Museveni dedicated Uganda to the Lord. Bloodshed, violence and political unrest persisted for years after Idi Amin’s demise. But Uganda began to recover after pastors began to unite in desperate prayer for their nation. FRC has joined in prayer with pastors and leaders from across Africa, including Ugandan Pastor Laban Jumba, a prayer pioneer during the Amin regime who birthed Intercessors for Uganda in the 70s. Believers across Africa are praying for America, that God will send revival and awakening, our nation’s only real hope (read Michael Carl).

Thank God for leaders who stand boldly for Jesus, understand the curse of sin, and know God and His blessing are a nation’s greatest possession. May God raise up such leaders in America and every nation! (Ex 18:21; 1 Sam 16:1, 7, 11-16; Ps 75:6; Jer 23:5-6; Lk 22:25-27; 1 Tim 2:1-8)
