Living in fear of uncertainties can be curbed
History has it very much engraved in the stones that one reason that resulted into enormous mass relocations of ethnic groups was the dread of uncertainties.

The communities contemplated the "what if" until they could hold the imaginations no more. Landslides, famines, droughts, and other natural calamities were the uncertainties then. Nowadays we can add on the list; bomb blasts and various forms of terrorist attacks. Our archetypes had a choice to relocate, there were lots of unoccupied territories to vacate into and no mansions to leave behind. I strongly doubt that that option is still applicable this day! The best option available now is to stay and fight but how do we fight? What are our weaponry?
The past few weeks, Uganda as a nation mourned yet again and the root cause is possibly an extrapolation of devastating gruesome events that happened in 2010. I am talking about the bomb blasts that happened in Kyadondo where we lost multitudes at a single occasion. The recent attacks were encounters from suicide bombers as per the Police reports. Now you can barely walk around with a backpack without raising hairs around you. Many are walking while overlooking their shoulders because it is seemingly wise to see whether someone walking next to you is carrying a suspicious bag.
There is plausibility of living in assuredness and resting with a decent night rest. This way doesn't involve keeping a pack of Rottweilers or German shepherds around you, neither does it take a gang of arsenal accompanied men. Least you think, I am pointing you to technology, cameras to be more specific, I am not! The cameras will do a nice job of showing us evidence that indeed the events prevailed but will not warn us against an attack in advance. So which way is perfect for us to deploy? The way of God, His eyes ran across the earth and appointed vessels to preserve, enlarge and prosper this nation. God is speaking but are we listening?
Prior to the terrorists’ bombings of 2010, a warning had come a month before through a man of God, we probably didn't know better. It was lamentable for the first instance but a related development happening yet again is simply an aggravated degree of negligence. What happened this time, why didn't the warning come or did it actually come? Did the preserving force lose its saltiness or was the preserving force masked speechless?
Every start of the year, during his first fellowship, Prophet Elvis Mbonye gives detailed revelations of the major events that will happen domestically or globally within the same year or years yonder with pinpoint accuracy. However this year, he didn't do the same. He said that the church was getting comfortable with this whole online thing but the church yet God never intended for the Church to gather online. (The scriptures admonish us not to give up the culture of assembling together physically, Hebrews 10: 25). He added a question, do you take that which is Holy and share it online? As a result, he didn't share what had been revealed to him.
I will ask, could we have been in a better position as a nation to avoid the recent bombings if the church wasn't stifled? Definitely yes, with a rich history of fulfilled prophecies as proof beforehand, Prophet Elvis Mbonye would alert us and give consequential counsel on how we were to overcome. Feats of astounding accuracy in prophecy are his orthodoxy. He saw the events of this year but he couldn't cast the pearls into mud. Good news is, we are not far from redemption, and we can outperform the discrepancies if we unshackle the church. Let's end all forms of lock down now and see what a church in full operation can do.
