Someone just shared a wonderful link
with me. If a president of a country repents in public and if his
people follow him in that repentance, there is HOPE for that country.
Such a country is Uganda. I read part of the article and the prayer
to you. The link is also in this video:
“At the National Jubilee Yoweri
Museveni made history when he openly repented his sins and the sins
of Uganda.”
I read the prayer:
“Father God in heaven, today we stand
here as Ugandans, to thank you for Uganda. We are proud that we are
Ugandans and Africans. We thank you for all your goodness to us.
I stand here today to close the evil
past and especially in the last 50 years of our national leadership
history and at the threshold of a new dispensation in the life of
this nation. 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 which are rampant in our land. We confess sins of shedding
innocent blood, sins of political hypocrisy, dishonesty, intrigue and
betrayal.
Forgive us of sins of pride, tribalism
and sectarianism; sins of laziness, indifference and
irresponsibility; sins of corruption and bribery that have eroded our
national resources; sins of sexual immorality, drunkenness and
debauchery; sins of unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred and revenge;
sins of injustice, oppression and exploitation; sins of rebellion,
insubordination, strife and conflict.
These sins and many others have
characterised our past leadership, especially the last 50 years of
our history. Lord forgive us and give us a new beginning. Give us a
heart to love you, to fear you and to seek you. Take away from us all
the above sins.
We pray for national unity. Unite us as
Ugandans and eliminate all forms of conflict, sectarianism and
tribalism. Help us to see that we are all your children, children of
the same Father. Help us to love and respect one another and to
appreciate unity in diversity.
We pray for prosperity and
transformation. Deliver us from ignorance, poverty and disease. As
leaders, give us wisdom to help lead our people into political,
social and economic transformation.
We want to dedicate this nation to you
so that you will be our God and guide. We want Uganda to be known as
a nation that fears God and as a nation whose foundations are firmly
rooted in righteousness and justice to fulfil what the Bible says in
Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation, whose God is the Lord. A people
you have chosen as your own.
I renounce all the evil foundations and
covenants that were laid in idolatry and witchcraft. I renounce all
the satanic influence on this nation. And I hereby covenant Uganda to
you, to walk in your ways and experience all your blessings forever.
I pray for all these in the name of the
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
That, is a prayer!
IF your president would pray that
prayer and make that commitment to God and IF you as a nation would
follow him then surely the blessings of God would be on your country
and there will be HOPE for your country.
God bless Uganda!
May Jesus bless you.
