Prophet Elvis Mbonye’s spiritual son, Pastor Michael Kiganda has revealed during one interview that there are many more people that God is going to call into the prophetic ministry in the near future.
His interview with tri-weekly newspaper, the Observer comes at a time many Ugandans seem to question the existence of genuine prophets in the church today.
“For so many years, this nation has believed that there are no genuine prophets but I thank God for my spiritual father, Prophet Elvis Mbonye, who changed all that,” Michael Kiganda told the newspaper.
Born in Busiro on September 15, 1984 to Francis Ssebowa and Remmy Namakula, Pastor Michael Kiganda who is also a prophet says he encountered Heaven and Hell at 7 years when he fell into a comatose state that lasted for three weeks at Kisubi mission hospital.
He had been sent to buy kerosene from a shop when he tripped and fell on his stomach, over the empty beer bottle meant to hold the kerosene. The bottle that shattered beneath his stomach cut him so deeply, it brought out his intestines.
“While in the coma, I saw so many things. I was where dead non-believers go and where the believers of Christ go,” Kiganda told the newspaper. “The spiritual world opened up to me.”
“I can tell what is going to happen and I can smell and sense evil. I can notice it when I walk into a place that is filled with spirits,” Kiganda said.
Prophetic gift after coma
Upon waking from his coma, the Observer narrates, he found his dad who was attending to him, looking very worried. Kiganda, who now had a special gifting, could tell that his father was not only worried about his son’s health but was also worried of the bill, which though he had no idea of its figure, guessed it would be high, and didn’t know how he would raise it.
“I wrote down a figure of money and told him that his friend Jonathan who was coming to visit me would settle the bill,” said Kiganda. “He thought I had lost my mind due to the coma, but to his surprise, everything happened just as I had said.”
His father was surprised how he could predict with such precision the amount and the person who cleared it. But what shocked him even further is the fact that little Kiganda kept telling him the time his doctor would come to examine him, what she would be wearing and what she would say to them.
Church premises from strip bar
There was a strip bar in Banda that God, in one of Kiganda’s visions, asked him to close down and start a church there.
“I stretched my hand towards the bar and prophesied that it would close by God’s power and the following year when I passed by the place, the bar was long closed,” Kiganda told the Observer newspaper. “I talked to the landlord and he leased the place to me.”
In the small premises, Glory to Glory Ministries was born with an initial congregation of five people. Slowly, more members joined the church.
Church grows from prophecy
Kiganda prophesied to one of the women in the church that she would marry a white Dutchman in a few months’ time. The woman who was deeply in love with a black Ugandan man disputed the prophecy, branding Kiganda a pretender, something that shrunk his congregation.
However, when the prophecy later came to pass, alongside several other prophecies, the numbers kept shooting up, overwhelming the church. Several other pastors were attracted to the place and three more born-again churches were opened up right there.
“Because we had outgrown the place, we decided to shift to Bugolobi last year,” said Kiganda.
Today, his church that is located opposite Shell Bugolobi, boasts of a congregation of more than 500 members and there are plans to shift to a bigger place as the church grows.
