Several Born-again Christian leaders we present Sunday to comfort Pastor Imelda Namutebi during the farewell service of her late husband Thomas Kula, at Liberty Worship Centre (Lugala).
They included Robert Kayanja of Miracle Centre Cathedral – Rubaga, Joseph Serwadda of Victory Christian Centre Church, Isaac Kyobe Kiwewesi of Kansanga Miracle Centre, Patrick Makumbi of Global Gospel Healing Ministries, Pastor Tom Mukisa, Pastor Sam Kyambadde, Pastor Yasin Lukwago among others.
Pastor Kula Thomas Moore died last week, Thursday at 2:00 pm, due to high-blood pressure related complications.
He was remembered as one of the chief founders of Liberty Worship Centre International. A former banker, the 51-year-old helped the ministry establish among others a co-operative society with a vision of promoting financial self-sustenance so that Church members are empowered to meet their family needs.
Apostle John Bunjo and Apostle Micheal Kimuli explained in their condolence messages they were saddened by the passing of Pastor Thomas Kula. Apostle Bunjo encouraged Pastor Imelda Namutebi to stay comforted by God’s Word in John 14, which in part says, “let not your heart be troubled.”
Speaking to mourners, Kula T. Matthew described his late father as a “great man,” adding that “he did all his best to raise us up as best as he could.”
“He got to know each of us personally, he loved us, he supported us, he kept us, even when we had eprsonal problems he understood. I know that this world is not our final resting place, and that he is proud of us, and that we shall see him again,” Matthew said.
Pastor Kula’s parents expressed joy that they were able to raise their children to follow Christ. God has His own plans, Pastor Kula’s mother told the Church. “We are celebrating his life. It is up to you, to prepare yourself how you are going to meet the Lord,” she added.
Bishop Edmond Kizito, a very close friend to Pastor Kula revealed during the farewell service that he takes comfort in knowing that the deceased is now resting in the arms of the Lord. “You are much happier where you are, and some day, we will all join you,” Bishop Edmond said.
Earlier Speaking during a televised address, Pastor Robert Kayanja sent his condolences to his close friend and fellow minister of the gospel Pastor Imelda Namutebi.
He said amid sorrow and pain, “our God remains God,” and that Christians need to continually take refuge in Him. Mr Kayanja said he received the sad news of Pastor Thomas’ illness, and death while at his farm in the western region of Uganda.
Pastor Kayanja recalled Thomas as “a strong man of God” who he knew very well, and “a child” in the [Robert Kayanja Ministries]. He said the deceased had High blood pressure (also referred to as HBP, or hypertension).
“His wife told me he had high-blood pressure. They tried to tame it, they tried to control it, they couldn’t. They rushed him to the hospital, and they tried their level best, but they couldn’t.” Mr Kayanja urged “we are living in times where we should be prepared to meet the Lord, anytime.”
