A few Saturdays ago was Karamoja Cultural Day (the second annual one) and it was centered here in Moroto, where a shrine was built and a bull sacrificed with all the horror of the animistic ceremony imaginable, to the delight of onlookers. This had not been planned by the committee nor approved by the mayor we are told. My heart was so grieved by all the spectators photographing this destructive embrace. The elders constructed it on grounds between two christian churchs. I did write about this in July.
The Bishop of the Church we attend, this last Sunday, August 9th, spoke about the spiritual warfare this act brought with the enemy basically setting up camp between the churches. He did a very good job on explaining what idolatry was and sacrificing to demons with scriptures in 1 Cor. 10:1-22 and Psalms 106:34-43. He was able to draw very relevant parallels between Israel not destroying the worship of idols and God allowing their choices to destroy them as well to the Kjong doing the same thing.
August 17-21, a convocation between all the churches in Karamoja is taking place here in Moroto, to stand for unity in Christ, and the Bishop feels that this act by the traditional elders happened as a battle cry in the spiritual realm against this convocation.
In less than 2-3 hours after his sermons, 3 services, the bishop had begun being verbally assaulted from so many people-including those saying they are christians but see nothing wrong with the shrines.
Please, Please, join in this heavenly battle for this land!!
