President Yoweri Museveni witnessed the consecration of Bishop Dr Moses Odongo as Archbishop/Overseer of the National Fellowship of Born-Again Pentecostal Churches in Uganda where he urged believers to work hard instead of waiting for miracle wealth which he said is non existent.
This was at an even held at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on Tuesday.
Speaking at the function, President Museveni congratulated Dr Bishop Odongo upon his election and consecration.
The President also congratulated his predecessor, Bishop Joshua Lwere for his good service all the past years.
“The NFBPC was an idea/movement brought into existence by my former Minister Balaki Kirya and it is interesting to see what this Balokole movement has morphed into. It reminds me of the story of the mustard seed.”
Emphasizing the need to work hard, Mr Museveni even Jesus worked as a carpenter and so should his followers.
”There are several parts in the Bible that emphasize man must work , there is no miracle wealth, We as Christians must be in the footsteps of Jesus; He preached the gospel, healed the sick, fed the hungry and worked (as a carpenter ). This is what we have been preaching in the NRM. Religion and wealth creation must move in tandem,” President Museveni said adding: “I, therefore, call upon Dr Bishop Odongo, the entire leadership of the NFBPC and the born-again Christians to champion the message of wealth creation just like the bible says in Mathew 5:16.”
