The South Rwenzori Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Nason Baluku has urged the Christians to embrace the culture of hard work in order to cope up with the uncertainties in the current environment.
Bishop Baluku sounded the advice today while laying a foundation stone at Mt. Sinai Church of Uganda in Kasokero Parish, Kisinga Archdeaconry.
Preaching from the Biblical Books of 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 and Ecclesiastes 9:10, the Bishop explained that God blesses the work of people’s hands, asking the Christians not to be idle while expecting miracles.
He particularly challenged the men who spend the whole day at some trading centres while gossiping to instead work hard for their families.
The Prelate stressed that it was shameful for a man to leave home very early in the morning purposely to sit at some trading centres only to gossip when the family is suffering without food.
He also challenged the political leaders to be hardworking and fulfill the promises they made to the electorate during the campaigns, arguing that leadership is about offering a service but not enjoying positions.
During the same service, the Bishop confirmed 57 Christians into the Anglican Christian faith, urging them to live as true witnesses of Christ through hard work, discipline and prayer.
