WITH THEM

 WITH THEM

A fellow father lost a daughter

A dear first born

I mourn with him 

A fellow child lost her mother

A precious parent 

I cry with her

A fellow human being

Wakes up in pain each day

With plates of iron in his shoulder

I stand with him

A less known soldier

Lies in his tomb

Shattered by lead

Fired in rapid motion

I weep for him

Fellow human beings 

And more yet unknown 

Suffer in pain

Isolation and bitterness

I suffer with them

For they are me

And i am them

UBUNTU

I am human like them

I am

Because they are

JAILOR

 Jailor

You lock up my bones

And tie my hands behind my back

Your boots on my head

As you look down into my eyes

I am defiant still

I am free

For my spirit you will not chain up

My thoughts and voice

My song my speech

My resolve

You will not jail

You are imprisoned to your vanity

You are slave to your pride

To your greed and hunger

For power and the shine of silver

You are slave

Drunk and staggering

Intoxicated by the venomous smoke of primitive accumulation of wealth 

You poke my ribs with bayonets

And you grin as your gun butts into my sides

You taste the salty sweat of your brow

And think you have achieved

Yet the spirits of the souls you send to eternity

Hover around you

Keep you awake

Parentless babies

Cause your insomnia

Widowed mothers

Wail in your ears

Sonless fathers cry in the dust

For the men and women

You have jailed and emasculated

Jailor

My mind's thoughts soar high as the eagle

My freedom, you cannot touch

Whether you free me or not

Whether your metallic jails open free for me now or later

Am free

Yes

I am free

My resolve is free

My ideas are free

Am Mandela

You are apartheid

I am Luther

You are racism

I am peace

You are war

I am freedom

And fly i will

Good Friday Message

*Good Friday* is the day when we Christians commemorate the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross at the place called the skull (Golgotha)

We  know that His death was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. We nolonger have to shed blood of animals or birds to cleanse us. That singular act and gruesome death was enough to bridge us to God the Father forever 

His death meant that we could now be co-heirs with Christ in the Kingdom of God. All we need to do is accept Jesus as our personal Lord and saviour 

May we, this day, invest in eternity by confessing with our mouths that Jesus is Lord. For all will fade away save for our relationship with Him in eternity 

Will you accept him today?

God bless you all

Amen

Heroes Day

 Happy Heroes and Heroines Day to you

In all that you do, there is a life that has been changed and a situation made better. Thank you

Keep serving

Keep loving

Keep sharing

Wishing you God's blessings

 _For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure._

( *Philippians 2:13 ESV*)

January 2021 UCLF PRAYER WALK

 Dear Child of God

I would like to invite you to join  a  UCLF Prayer Walk for the Nation this Sunday 10/01/2020 in the Morning at *6am or earlier* in the following format 

1. Some can start from Kitgum House traffic lights towards the City/Constitutional Square via the Parliament Avenue

2. Others can start from Wandegeya towards the Constitutional Square  

3. Walk at least with one friend or more but do not crowd and remember to wear masks and observe Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs)

4. Do not shout or cause attraction but just seek the peace of the Lord over the land. Ask God for well organised and a peaceful process of the elections and declare that there will be no deaths or mayhem

5. We shall not be congregating at the City Square. Those who wish to continue to Kitgum Traffic Lights or Wandegeya might do so but that is ideally where your walk ends and you can go back home after that or meet up with friends for a cup of tea

6. Please be intentional about praying and not merely chatting about the latest trending news

7. It is not an exercise of walking although it is good for the body

8. Those who are unable to join in, can pray from wherever they are in the various towns. e.g there will be a prayer walk in Mbarara _From Mahembe Gente to Booma grounds and from Booma grounds to Mahembe Gente_ 

....if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

God bless you all
