Shady Pastors, here is what to do.

As you read stories about some born again pastors you may begin questioning yourself whether they are good shepherds of the flock.
In Uganda, one of the best business one can do is to begin a born again church.
Churches, which once were respected as sanctified places of worship are now, used for all sorts of abuse, which includes sodomy, rape, coning followers’ of their money and even shocking some with electricity. Ugandans should be careful with the mushrooming pastors in the country because many of them are just crooks whose plan is to rob the unsuspecting poor.

I can't imagine a Ugandan who spends a whole day working as a wheel- barrow pusher, only to get money and hand it over to his pastor. This is daylight robbery! I think good pastors are not supposed to demand money to help people who need their services.

What angers me is that pastors pretend to follow Jesus' example yet they do the reverse.

Jesus healed the sick without asking for money and told his disciples to do the same, if we are to take pastors as today’s disciples, we must ask, “What are they doing?’ Church leaders should borrow a leaf from the life of Christ, who drove the moneychangers from the temple.

Unlike Catholics and Protestants, born again pastors lack a central regulating body to control their work.
If a Catholics priest is found guilty of such crimes is excommunicated, we can recall what happened to Bishop Emanuel Miyingo.
I think lack of a central body to regulate the activities of born again pastors tarnishes the image of even the good pastors who are serving God diligently.
We should all know that Jesus Christ, warned us about the rise of "false Christ's." He said they "would deceive many, performing miracles in my name". He, however, gave all of us a tip, through which we could identify such 'fake prophets’.
He said, " Identify them by their fruits" (i.e. their actions and character). In their fledgling ministry, the early Apostles spent sizeable time battling fakes.
Now they are back. Who can help us fight them?First of all, its every body's responsibility, but I think the first responsibly lies in the hands of National Council for Born Again churches. Let it come out with codes of conduct, have every pastor register and be made aware consequences for misconduct.
Next, the DPP should institute charges a against some pastors, for example, Pastor Obiri of 'We are one with Christ Ministries’ who imported an electric gadget to shock unsuspecting church-goers into believing that they are experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit.
He could be charged with disturbing religious assemblies, stupefying in order to commit a misdemeanor, or even assault depending on the facts.The gadget, which can be worn like a corset on the body or under the sole of a shoe, can generate up to 12 volts, enough current to "pleasantly" shock to the ground dozens of people at a time.
Others like Kanyanja whose house was usd by smugglers of wine should be investigated.
Paster Kitaka who sodomized his follower should face the law too.

In 2 Peter 2:1, Peter also echoed the warnings of Jesus about fake "men of God." He said: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you..."

The apostles warned that these false teachers had never renounced the "hidden things of dishonesty, craftiness" and "handling the word of God deceitfully.

"It is normal for some Christian to be sad and disillusioned when they discover that their preachers and spiritual leaders are not living up to expected standards.

However, it is also important to know that God always has some individuals who will not betray

His word at the altar of materialism and financial gain.

Apparently, fake men of God will only continue to arise.

Therefore, my humble appeal to fellow Christians is that they must be equipped with knowledge, which will help them have an insight into these fakes and they would be able to discern - and avoid them.
