Dear Ugandans,
I have something to say. There’s a sad state in our country. A vice that we have to uproot! There’s a nonsensical atrocious and careless way we misuse the power in our tongues!
Uganda is like a mother to us all but we’ve abandoned it! We think it’s not alive, we think it’s just a land! But it’s not! The Uganda Cranes did their best during their final appearance via the AFCON!
This match was happening during a graduation party I was attending. It was a full house and everyone’s eyes were pinned to the screen. Sadly, those who were supporting Uganda were like 3 in the room.
About 7 were just watching, 10 were supporting Senegal and over 20 people were just saying rubbish such as, ‘We are a loss!’ ‘We can’t exceed this moment!’ ‘We can come back home now!’
I mean the room was filled with so much negative energy before the match was even 10 minutes down! In the end we lost the game! We returned home! Then more Ugandans still threw shade at the Cranes for losing!
They took it to twitter and tweeted ‘I’m leaving Uganda, it’s full of losers…’ Losers? This is funny, because this includes the tweep as a loser! More people express publicly how Uganda is such a bummer! A few recognise the good! (Thanks to Onyango by the way, plus His Ugandan team Bambi)
The picture I get is one of a child ashamed of their parent who sacrificed so much for them to be where they are! Tonight I want to teach you a mystery!
Many people desire relationship but do not want intimacy! Relationship is like having a girlfriend but never wanting to take the next step! It’s like you want to date forever! It’s like showing Jesus off in front of your mountain and need, and when the need is gone, you throw him back to that side chick seat!
Intimacy on the other hand takes it a notch higher! All the playing ends! You put a ring on it! You cover each other! You throw a punch at whoever might disrespect your girl! You do not gossip about one another! You LOVE, each other in the good times! You LOVE each other in failure!
Allow me to explain! Desabre Sebastien disbanded the Uganda Cranes just after their failure with Senegal! He resigned just like that! It’s OK, one would say, that he could never know how it feels to be Ugandan!
But what excuse shall we the Ugandans have! Shall we get ashamed of our national team? Shall we divorce what we got intimate with because they’ve failed again! NO! You keep LOVING and supporting them!
Make up your mind never to say anything bad against your country! Those counterattacking the sharp words being spoken over our land are The Church! They speak goodness over the country! FYI what you declare will come to life!
The difference between He that says good things over His country and one who doesn’t will be manifested in how the country shall respond to Him! The land hears!
If you say we are losers…The country might fail you, but yet at the very same time, that neighbor of yours who says ‘Uganda is such a First world country!’ might not see the qualities of a first world country YET but guess what! He’ll experience and see Uganda taking quick steps to become what He says!
He’ll eat the good of the land! Uganda will be amazing to Him, because He loves it, and it shall in return love him back! The atmosphere shall be great, the economy will work for his good and jobs won’t be hard to find!
But how is all this so? You might ask! I’ll give you one of the most ancient sayings that I’ve proven true….
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
What this means is, if you love death or saying stuff like ‘We are failures, we are broke, we are ugly, we are sick,’ you’ll eat such stuff, meaning you’ll have a dull portion of each of them, tasting them and finding out how they really torment!
But if you like saying stuff like ‘We shall make it, we are intelligent, we outsmart technologies present, we are The Pearl of Africa, we are peaceful, we lend and feed more nations…’ you’ll also experience these very same things!
What will happen is that you’ll find your eyes focused on the good things happening around Uganda even if many are focusing on whatever is going wrong! Pray great stuff over Uganda! And perhaps through you, it shall flourish!
When one of us wins gold medals, celebrate with them! If one of us tries but doesn’t make it, celebrate him or her as well. Patriotism doesn’t require you to be on the front line wearing army colors!
It’s also found in simple acts as bridling your tongue from saying anything tending to negativity about Uganda your country, or writing anything malicious about it!
Men desire to ‘go and live abroad!’ But they’ll reach there and face segregation just because they’re dark skinned…or suffer limited time there as their presence there could have an expiry date! That reminds me of The Parable of the lost son.
In the end, such will whine ‘Home was so much better.’ Travel for the purposes of enjoyment, but not to run away from…your country! God wasn’t stupid to make you Ugandan! I repeat, God wasn’t stupid to make you Ugandan! There’s a reason why He did!
LOVE Uganda! If you don’t No one will!
But what us LOVE? Love is patient and kind; love never is envious (of other countries) nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily (looking down on its country).
It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking (never minding the state or feelings of the other party in the relationship);
It is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong (for example losing a match (Sorry we lost. Move on. Better days are on the way)]. It does not rejoice at injustice (corruption) and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person (the beeeeeesstttt), it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end (tie the knot, riding forever together).
That’s what Love is! And if you’re short of any of these…don’t claim to love Uganda!
Love it the same way you’d love that European Football Club you support!
Love Uganda like you love yourself!
For God and OUR Country!
