WEEKLY DEVOTION WITH RMA_OCTOBER 9 TO 15, 2023


Topic: WE ARE FREE AND FREE INDEED

Scripture Reference: John 8:36

A good day to you and loved ones is my biggest wish and declaration.

Happy Independence Day from Uganda! We thank GOD for the gift of life and for the freedom that we are able to enjoy. As most of us are aware, Uganda gained her independence from colonial rule on October 9, 1962 meaning that today we are celebrating the 61st independence anniversary of the country. The celebrations are taking place in Kitgum district under the theme, “Sustaining a United and Progressive Nation: Taking Charge of Our Future As A Free Nation.”

My dear friend,

You and I are free! It is well spelt out in John 8:36 that he who the Son sets free is free indeed. I believe that without sounding very religious, it almost counts to state that freedom is very necessary and as the nation celebrates independence, I pray and declare that all citizens shall feel and enjoy the freedom that comes with the day today and the days ahead.

Through this devotion, I am calling on all of us to work hard and smart towards love, peace and unity. It starts with us as individuals then spreads out to the nation. Uganda and the other nations of the world are blessed and shall continue to be blessed if we come to the realization that life is wonderful for each of us and we must guard it well. Yes, life is precious and with it, we could do anything and everything.

As some of us take off a day of rest, I request us to take some time off and pray fervently to God to sustain us as a nation. We are reminded in James 5:6 that the effective fervent prayer of the righteous accomplishes much. I pray that God shall grant us peace and oneness in spirit and purpose and bring an end to misery, suffering and pain. Let us pray that everyone shall be treated with respect and that there shall be an end to human rights abuses and violations. I pray in accordance with God’s Word in Psalm 118:17 that we will all live and not die and that we shall proclaim the goodness of God in this land of the living and the prosperous. This is the day that God has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it in accordance with Psalm 118:24.

I remind us that we are all born free and equal in dignity and rights. This is spelt out in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948. It is my utmost desire that we will see more of us coming up to speak for and defend the weak and vulnerable in our society.

I end by speaking healing unto the sick and wishing the very best to all of us in all things. Let us confess positivity upon ourselves and refuse all works of the enemy (ies). I declare that the enemy has no authority of us. We are released from bondage; we are free indeed.

Happy day.

JANUARY TO MARCH 2026: WHAT IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES? ENDURING THROUGH AND THROUGH

Image
I may not be certain of how you are feeling or what exactly you are going through but as a fellow human being, I know that there must be a situation or situations that you could be facing that are either exciting or dismaying. I am placing these thoughts together two days after I attended burial of one of the leaders (Chairman LC1) within my local area who passed away in an accident on Friday February 27, 2026 somewhere, between Luweero and Wobulenzi (as told). When I first got the news, it didn’t occur to me that the name I heard was relating to the person I knew. I can’t tell why I thought it was another person. It happens for the mind. It was not until I went to see one of the engineers in the business center that I got clear information that the person who had passed on was the leader I knew. He was no more! Further information was that the people he was moving with, had also died. Such pain! The past two months of 2026 have been marred with news of deaths here and there. If no...

JUNE INTO JULY | THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S GOODNESS

Image
  Psalm 23:6 | Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all my days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Welcome to the month of July, 2025! June is done just like we went through May, April, March, February and January of this year.  I thank God for this far He has brought each of us and our loved ones (people within our circles). Look or see how far you have come! From the many years past, to the last six months of this year! Isn’t our Creator amazing? He is, very amazing. Over the past, we have experienced both good times on the one hand and challenging times on the other. I believe that all these were for the glory, honor and praise to God. We thank God for the commemorations and celebrations. We rejoice with those who rejoice and stand with those who have faced trials of different kinds. What are you focusing on this season? Who are you dealing with? Who do you intend to deal with? Will the relationship you are in or intending to get into yield...
