President Yoweri Museveni has revealed that he would be a clergy now if he hadn’t disagreed with born-again Christians.
The President made the disclosure on Sunday while presiding over the commissioning ceremony Bishop Leonard Sserwadda, leader of of the new South Buganda Diocese Pentecostal Church of Uganda.
Museveni said in 1962, while at a Christian camp in Nabugabo, he almost became a Bishop but after having a clerical disagreement with born-agains, he was forced to change his mind.
“In 1962, I passed here and went to Nabugabo that had a Christian camp. I was almost close to being a bishop but I disagreed with the Born-Agains. They said that we are just passing through life and we are visitors with a heavenly home. They added that the birds of the field neither sow nor harvest but are fed. So they were telling Christians not to work but just pray. I disagreed with such philosophy. A human being was separated from all creatures so that he takes dominion over them,” he said.
He added that Christians ought to follow the example of Jesus who was a preacher as well as a worker and used to work in the carpentry of His foster father, Joseph.
Meanwhile, Museveni who also laid a foundation stone for the building of the diocesan church advised Christians to continue preaching a multi-dimensional gospel that encourages all believers to work hard as opposed to merely waiting to inherit the Kingdom of God.
