Pentecostals disown Kakande, Brother Ronnie and Yiga
On October 12, pastors representing their four biggest national unions held a conference dubbed ‘The Campaign To Revive Uganda’ at Christian Life Church, Makerere Kavule. The conference had one major item on its agenda: to dissociate the Pentecostal faith from false prophets that have penetrated it.
After the conference, the pastors represented by the National Fellowship of Born-Again Pentecostal Churches (NFBAPC), the Born-Again Faith Federation (BAFFE), Evangelical Fellowship of Uganda (EFU) and Miracle Centre Cathedrals (MCC) signed a petition denouncing Prophet Samuel Kakande of Synagogue Church of All Nations at Mulago Ku Bbiri, Pastor Augustine Yiga of Revival Christian Church Kawaala and Brother Ronnie Makabai of ETM.
The pastors also urged government to start criminal investigations into some of the three men’s practices after several former followers, senior ministers and even relatives testified about occult practices, extortion, human sacrifice, rape and intimidation allegedly taking place.
Pastor Jackson Ssenyonga of Christian Life Church, who is spearheading the campaign, signed the petition together with Pr Joshua Lwere (overseer NFBAPC), Pr Joseph Sserwadda (presiding apostle, BAFFE), Bishop Peter Enyau (overseer, EFU) and Pr Robert Kayanja (overseer, MCC).
The conference drew renowned evangelists including Bishop Daniel Waddimba, Apostle John Bunjo, Pastor Michael Kimuli, Apostle Charles Tumwine and more than 500 pastors from across the country.
Pentecostal pastors have for long complained about the doctrines the three denounced men operate under, including selling at exorbitant prices ‘miracle-inducing items’ such as apples, necklaces, rings, rice, calendars and prayers, as well as stage-managing miracles to attract more followers.
Ssenyonga has since 2017 started been hosting daily prayer and deliverance sessions code-named P5 (prayer, praise, power, prosperity and permanent miracles).
And what started out as a normal revivalist crusade began drawing in distressed people seeking deliverance prayers for the hair-raising problems they encountered after visiting the denounced three men’s places of worship.
Talk of serpents in the churches, witchdoctor collaborations, deep Satanism and even rape, became the order of the day at P5, with broadcasts live on Top TV and Top radio.
Other churches, including Kayanja’s Miracle Centre Cathedral and their 77 Days of Glory (77DOGs) crusades, and others started registering similar complaints about the three churches and their affiliates countrywide.
“We the undersigned servants of God, pastors and Bishops representing the majority body of Christ in Uganda, sitting at Christian Life Church in Kampala, have for long observed the actions and activities of the above pastors and found that they totally contravene, contradict and falsify the teachings of the Holy Bible and the Christian church,” Ssenyonga read from the petition.
“The reason as to why we have formed this campaign is that we have received overwhelming grievances and evidence from hundreds of people who have fallen victim and have witnessed these horrendous activities and crimes.”
Ssenyonga said the men masquerade and camouflage as Bible teachers on the surface with a soft-spoken approach, yet some even invoke spirits of the dead, manipulate scripture, worship snakes, destroy marriages, “and we are ready to testify”.
“As full representatives of the born-again body of Christ, Spirit-filled, representing over 70,000 churches across the nation, we do hereby alert the nation and declare the said persons and their associate branches and affiliates are not part of us,” Ssenyonga stated.
Apostle Tumwine said abject poverty will make people believe anything and easily get charmed by false prophets and diviners.
The Observer’s efforts to reach all three accused pastors for their side of the story were futile.
Yiga kept cancelling this reporter’s calls, while Makabai’s assistant, one Stella, declined to comment on behalf of the flamboyant ETM leader and instead invited the writer to their church.
