In building God’s house according to what I was called to do (1 Chronicles 22:5), I have up until now done my best to build around Jesus. Together with you, this Jesus-centered mindset must by all means continue, otherwise all our building will be in vain.
I am reminded of March 2019 when I felt we needed to review the fact that Jesus is all that LAT is about. I therefore started preparing a sermon entitled “Revisiting Our Christ-centric Vision”, using the scripture “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). That night, I had this dream which confirmed that indeed I was to preach that message:
I was a teacher in a school. I was simultaneously teaching different students who were in different classrooms. I would speak a word or phrase to students in one room, then run to other classes and tell them the same thing. I would then run back to the first class and pick up the sentence from where I left off; then again run to the other classes and tell them the same thing. Basically, all the classes had to receive my lesson at exactly the same time. Some of the students were older than others, while some were newcomers. Towards the end of the dream, I recognized that the topic of the lesson was: ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’. Then I awoke. By this dream, God was definitely communicating to us that we all needed to be on the same page regarding our vision, which is nothing else but Jesus.
Interestingly, after preaching that Sunday, I started preparing for ‘part two’ of the sermon, which I would call “Jesus at the Centre”. To my surprise, that Thursday, Carol Busingye, who had no idea what I was planning to preach about, dreamt that she was at LAT preaching to us a message with exactly the same title as I had in mind! Here is Carol’s dream:
I was at church. I wasn’t the preacher for the day but the person leading the service called on me to preach. I wasn’t prepared, obviously, and as I walked to the pulpit, Pastor Moses asked me if I was okay, if I could handle... he could do the preaching if I couldn’t handle. I said I was fine and would do it. I started to preach. During the preaching, I kept wondering if I was on the "mulamwa" that Pastor had wanted to preach that day or if I was off course. As the dream ended, I saw that the topic for the day was “Jesus”. It was broadcast on a small screen suspended above Pastor’s head, which hadn’t been there before. The message I shared was entitled “Jesus at the Centre”. I was therefore relieved that the message wasn’t off. Then the dream ended.
Close to two years after those dreams and sermons about our need to be Jesus-centred, a report came from God, by a dream, that we as LAT had indeed heeded the instruction to be Jesus-centred. In that dream which I had on 23rd January 2021, I found myself in the company of Pastors Joseph Serwadda and Michael Kyazze. I told them that I attend a church called The-One-Thing Church! Yes, our church Last Adam Tabernacle had another name in heaven – The-One-Thing Church, the one Thing of course being Jesus. Hallelujah! Little wonder then that on 30th August this year, on the exact last day of our seventh year as a church, God communicated to us by yet another dream that I/we had successfully completed a phase of ministry, and another was beginning. We would not have completed that phase if we had not been Jesus-centered. Jesus-centeredness made us successful in our building of God’s house, and it is what will continue keep us successful before God. Let us keep at it.
God bless you.
