The Archdeacons from the Diocese of Kigezi have called upon Christians to embrace peace, love, and unity within their families and workplaces during this Christmas season, emphasizing that these virtues lead to success.
While delivering his Christmas Day sermon at All Saints Church, Kabale, where a large number of Christians had gathered for Christmas prayers, the Archdeacon of All Saints Church Archdeaconry, Ven. Rev. Namanya Emmanuel Bwagye, stressed the importance of these values. He reminded congregants that the primary reason Jesus Christ came to earth was to bring peace, love, and unity to people’s families and workplaces.
Ven. Namanya urged Christians to maintain harmony with their children, for husbands to live peacefully with their wives, and to nurture strong relationships with friends and neighbours.
He emphasized that unity in families can prevent any destructive plans by Satan, encouraging Christians to rely on Jesus Christ as their defender.
He further stated that when believers trust in God with all their hearts, He will provide for their needs.
