Christmas is more than lights, gifts, and celebration, it is a season to remind the world that Christ Jesus is alive and loves us. Guided by the Spirit of God, Prophet Abraham Richard received a Divine instruction for the Christmas season: to show love to the local leaders of Buikwe.
Just as Christ came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45), this mission was a reflection of God’s heart; a call to extend love, honor, and encouragement to those entrusted with leadership.
The day began with heavy rains that threatened to disrupt the program. Yet, neither the Prophet nor the invited leaders allowed the downpour to quench their faith.
Just as Noah’s flood worked toward God’s greater plan, this rain reminded all present that creation itself serves God’s purposes. When the skies cleared, the leaders gathered at the Prayer Mountain, eager to receive the message of love and hope.
The Prophet welcomed the leaders with humility, reminding them of Christ’s command in John 13:34–35 to love one another. He urged them to see love not only as giving material things but also as giving time, kindness, and patience.
The Resident District Commissioner, Mr. Kibwiika Micheal, in turn, acknowledged the Prophet’s Godly works, recognizing that true leadership requires walking hand in hand with Men of God for wisdom and direction (2 Samuel 5:19). Their words revealed the beauty of divine partnership-government and the Church working together for the good of the people.
After the sharing of wisdom, the Prophet and the RDC distributed love gifts, which were received with joy and gratitude. The gathering ended with praises to God, fulfilling the Scripture: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven.” (Saint Matthew 5:16).
This mission was a living testimony of Saint John 3:16, God’s love in action. As Prophet Abraham Richard reminded all, we are co-workers with God, His hands and feet on earth. When we make ourselves available, He uses us to spread His love to every corner of the world.
