The archbishop Church of Uganda, Rev. Luke Orombi has said Uganda is a sick country that needs spiritual healing in 2012.
In his New Year’s sermon to the Christians at St. Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe, Orombi said that all Ugandans need is spiritual healing and that not even the organizers of the walk-to work-campaign or the government itself are righteous enough to lead the country through this turmoil.
“Corruption and greed is embedded in us right from childhood. That is why a baby who is suckling a breast will make sure he protects the other one [breast] from any intruder even when it is free. Ask yourself why someone should build a house with 12 bedrooms yet it is only him and his wife living in it,” asked Orombi.
The cleric said that there is no use stealing money from people yet you cannot effectively use it to satisfy yourself.
“At the end of the day, the biggest bed we can sleep in is a six by six bed and you cannot even utilize more than a third of it. You, like others, eat one plate of food so the question is, what is that greed for. Why do you steal all that money for?”
Stressing that all the action in Kampala like theft in the house of the Lord, littering the street and corruption make Ugandans sick. He pointed out that “we need hope.”
“It is this hope that will heal us and this hope can start by us blaming ourselves for all the wrong actions that have impacted on our nation.”
“The heart is deceitful. The human heart is a liar, corrupt and greedy and it is beyond cure. Only God can heal it,” remarked the archbishop before adding the words of Timothy chapter 6:7, that runs thus:
“For we brought nothing into the world and we will take nothing when we go out.”
