The media is without-a-doubt one of the most powerful and influential voices in our country today.
For various key stakeholders, Journalism used to be a matter of reporting the facts and, where there was controversy, presenting both sides of the story.
Unfortunately, that is no longer the case, some say.
Intercessor for Uganda, an interdenominational network of members of the Body of Christ is asking the Lord to provide the media with staff members and executives who are committed to accuracy and integrity.
The organisation issued a prayer guide on 27 July, 2020 urging prayer warriors to uproot and destroy among others publication of lies, motivated by bribe with intent to manipulate people.
Here are some of the prayer guide highlights:
- Let us praise God for the anointing He has put on the Christian leaders, men and women who are called to the office the Evangelist to preach the good news through media. Media owners who own, Christians Television and have advanced the kingdom of God through media.
- Let us praise God for the leaders in our country right from His Excellency the president who has continued to allow the freedom of preaching of the gospel through media, the leadership in UCC who regulate.
Greed and Discontent:
This is an insatiable spirit that causes these two vices which work hand in hand and lead to corruption, misuse of funds, bribery and so on. Leaders and those they lead are not content with what they are and what they have. They do not consider themselves to be Stewards of God’s resources nor Shepherds of the people they lead. Those who get money and advance evil agenda like homosexuality.
