Is the Pentecostal revival in Uganda really genuine?
BOTH local and international preachers have applauded the Pentecostal revival in Uganda. However, a close scrutiny of the facts on the ground reveals the opposite. Many born again Christians in Uganda like the Catholics and Anglicans have allowed other people to read the Bible for them. No wonder the pastors and the sheep are deceiving and being deceived because of the failure to rightly divide the word of God.
Although the word of God categorically states that “Love the Lord your God with all your thy heart , and with all thy soul and with all thy mind”’ (Mathew 22:37), many so called born again Christians have allowed their hearts to be on fire for God but their souls and minds to be on cool cool bar.
Many born again pastors do not even know the history of the Bible, they do not know that some Bibles have missing verses, they are using fear to extort tithes and offerings from their unquestioning flock. The list of the deceptions in Pentecostalism is endless.
In a couple of weeks from now the poor unsuspecting, uncritical ‘Pentecostals’ are going to flock Benny Hinn and Creflo Dollar’s crusades to commit spiritual and political fornication.
Well, you can rely on your emotionalism and experientialism, instead of the word of God. However, there is no doubt that you will be deceived. Rest assured that you will not reap prosperity and healing from the crusades, but rather deception. Watch that nobody deceives you (Mathew 24:4).
