The Rt Rev Gaddie Akanjuna, the Bishop of the Diocese of Kigezi, has urged Christians to refrain from immoral behaviors driven by earthly pleasures, including theft and sexual immorality.
He made this plea during a confirmation service at St. Andrews Nyabikoni COU Parish in Kabale municipality, where 78 individuals were confirmed into the Anglican faith. Bishop Akanjuna stressed the importance of turning away from ungodly practices and placing unwavering faith in God.
He advised the newly confirmed Christians to trust in God and focus on building a deep connection with Jesus Christ, emphasizing Christ’s understanding of the challenges faced by those not born again.
Highlighting the significance of genuine change, Bishop Akanjuna called on Christians to commit their lives to Christ, avoid satanic acts, and actively spread the gospel.
During the service, Rev. Robertson Peter Agaba, the diocesan Youth worker, preached on the necessity of repentance for the newly confirmed Christians.
He urged them to see repentance as a crucial step in their salvation journey and emphasized understanding the purpose of confirmation in serving the Lord, referencing Psalms 51 to illustrate the ongoing need for divine intervention in overcoming sin.
