(Below) Rev. Dr. Birungi takes the congregation through a song session in the sweltering heat

More heat from sunshine into the congregation

He moved the audience with his lifes testimony enshrined in his now globally famous book on revolutionary forgiveness: Tombstones and Bananas. Teaching about 2012 as the year of crossing over from our problems, Rev. Dr. Birungi refered to Joshua 3:1- 4:24. He stressed to the congregation that 2012 is a year of: Crossing over Uncrossable Rivers, completion, fullness, Fulfilment, Opening gates, possession, Abundance, inheritance

(Refer to Numbers 12.) He preached that each one of us has a River Jordan to cross in our lives: Have you been in a wilderness for a long time? It is time to break the camp Cross over and possess your inheritance in Jesus name.

To possess the land, there is an elaborate process: To possess the Promised Land Israelites went through processes: Process of Promise of 500 years that the Children of Israel had to wait for, Process of Spying for 40 years that the Israelites had to execute and Process of Conquest and Possession.

To cross over, we need the following: 1 - High expectancy:

When did you wait with great excitement? - Christmas, birthdays, graduation, wedding, or expecting a baby. You wait for months, weeks, and days, and then finally, the day arrives! Imagine the anticipation and excitement the children of Israel felt as they stood before the River Jordan the evening before they were to cross over into the land?

2 We need to cut ourselves off from a generation of failures: Cut ourselves from what our ancestors did Demonic legacy Generational curses, Covenants, Decrees, Vows, Proclamations

Let us break these dividing walls: Cut ourselves from what our ancestors did, Demonic legacy, Generational curses, Covenants, Decrees, Vows, Proclamations

3 We need to get rid of anxiety and trust God totally. Often, with our hopes at their highest, there are accompanying challenges and problems that we face at the very same time. Along with our hopes and joys there are always problems for which we simply have neither the strength nor the wisdom to meet the challenge. We need strength from above.

The battle is really the Lords 4. Sanctification is a must: -The People were required to consecrate themselves (vss. 5-6) Joshua told the people, Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you. Joshua 3:5

Today, the military leader would have said, Sharpen your swords and spears and polish your shields! For Gods people, spiritual preparation is the vital element for it is being rightly related to God that brings the power of God on our work and ministry.

5. Break the Camp and move forward: After consecration they were to break the camp and move towards the water. God wants us to break the camps of unbelievers-thin cows. Break the camps of addictions, excuses, spending what we dont have, hypocrisy, disobedience, pride and arrogance, selfishness etc. Wife/husband and children abusers and other unholy alliances

6. Follow the Ark of the Covenant: The people needed to follow the ark so they would know which way to go. We are to follow God. When the Holy Spirit moves in our hearts, stirring us up to go, we must follow. We dont know the way. God is doing new things, making a way where there was no way (Is. 43:18-19).

7. Take immediate Action: These guys did not know how to swim they had spent 40 years in a desert! He could have waited but he chose to take immediate action (3:1) Most people when confronted with difficult and risky situation they put them off as long as possible-pending. It makes the matters worse-so dont procrastinate. Trust in Gods strength-get up early in the morning and go for it,

With God all things are possible. 8. Follow the Counsel of your spiritual leaders: Spiritual leaders are divinely appointed tour guides of our Christian walk-follow them.

Heb. 13:7-8. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follows, considering the end of their conversation. [8] Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. Most of us miss Gods blessings because we ignore the counsel of our spiritual leaders. Disobeying their authority in Lawful things is direct rebellion against God. Next year make a fresh Commitment to submit to leadership and be accountable to a pastor/elder.

9. Worship and Wait in Gods Presence:

The Israelites did not know where to go because they had never passed that way before. Joshua 3:4. They did not know what lay ahead. They had to wait in the Lords presence as the Ark was with them and wait for the sound of the trumpet to match. It is important for Gods children to spend time in his presence, worship him and seek His guidance and direction in the New Year.

10. Trust God for His Word: They were to trust God to cross the Jordan without a boat/ferry or swimming. Stand Firm and See the Deliverance of the Lord. - Ex 14:15. Let us claim Gods promises and the prophetic words spoken over us since we were born like David did before the giant. Numbers 23:19-20. [19] - God is not a man, that he should lie!

God is a promise and covenant keeper. 11. Go forward-Faith in Action: Faith without Action is dead (James 2:17.) They had to go forward and confront the flooded river Be willing to make our feet wet Then wait for God to respond.

12. The Glorious crossing- Passage by the Power of God (3:1417). Crossing the Jordan and possessing their possession was not going to be a piece of cake. It would entail battle after battle. First, they had to be totally committed to going against armies, chariots, and fortified cities. Secondly, they had to also be committed to a focused walk of faith in Yahweh, the only true and living God For believers today, crossing the Jordan represents passing from one level of the Christian life to another.

13. A song of praise: 2 million people were singing one song- The Lord is good, his love endures forever for 6 hours. There is power in praise- (chains fell off from Silas and Paul. Acts. 12) God dwells in the praises of his people In heaven it will only be praise and worship 24/7/365-practice.

Jehoshaphats praise put to flight 25000 enemy soldiers 2 Chronicles 20. Jericho walls fell by the power of praise Joshua 7.

Be a man and woman of praise in 2012. 14.Take the Stones of remembrance-memorial stones (4:1-24): Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests feet are standing firm, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging place set up at Gilgal. By way of application, what are some of the things we regularly do and are called to do that form memorials of the saving grace of God and our calling as believers in Christ?

15. Possess the land: They were to cross and attack the enemy and pull down strongholds. They were to possess the land and keep it as their inheritance They divided the land among themselves peacefully and pledged to support each other You need to possess your inheritance in 2012

16. Renew your covenant with God: They renewed their covenant with God They made new vows to serve the Lord They circumcised everyone who was not circumcised among them They pledged allegiance to the Lord and their families They acknowledged God as their King and God-theocratic state under God.

CONCLUSION I know many of us are facing troubled, flooding and violent waters today. It could be in your life, home, and work place, at school, at church, in your marriage, with your children, health or in your relationships somewhere. You may have been having a River Jordan which you have not crossed since childhood. The good news is that you will cross over the Jordan in your life in 2012 and meet your goals and fulfil your purpose if you follow these principles from Gods word. Are you ready to cross over in Jesus name?

A REVIEW OF THE BOOK THAT FORMS BASIS OF HIS TESTIMONY Title: Tombstones and Banana Trees: A true Story of

Revolutionary Forgiveness
Authors: Medad Birungi with Craig Borlase Pages: 207 Publishers: David C Cook in Colorado (USA) Published: 2011 Price: US$14.99 (USHS40, 000) Reviewer: Alfred Wasike

More than 2000 years since God sent his only son, Jesus Christ to save us from peccadillo and death; we are still living in a very turbulent world. Abound are the stories of bloody clashes between individuals, communities, nations over wealth and other material resources. Rare are the stories of reconciliation and forgiveness. Whats FORGIVENESS? The words that spring to my mind are pardon, clemency, pity, mercy, absolution, amnesty, exoneration and exculpation, among others. Some of the direct antonyms are BLAME, ACCUSE, POINT FINGERS AT, CONDEMN. I was touched by Reverend Medads book on forgiveness. FLASHBACK: The intense and moving story is set in a village called Rwanjogori (meaning maggots) in south-western Uganda in the early 1960s. Born in a large polygamous family headed by a cruel and drunken father, Birungi recalls, My story changed beyond all recognition. Everything that was made ugly by pain and anger was turned to beauty by one simple yet unbelievably revolutionary thing: forgiveness. He further recalls: I do not think I would ever experience such sorrow and despair as the day my father beat me down from the pick up trucks and abandoned us my mother, my sisters, my brothers, and me by the side of the road at Kashumuruzi. We had no food, no possessions, and no hope of a future. All we had was the smell of diesel from the aging pickup trucks loaded with possessions, retreating down the road possessions that, just minutes previously, had been our own.

At another tragic point of his hard-growing-up years, one of his sisters had just been killed: I was not alone as I looked down on the rocks at the bottom of the waterfall (Below: A happy Medad at the Kisiizi Falls in August 2012). A woman I knew had approached me. Aidah Mary Tasiime an old friend of my mother. when I was born in the fact, she was the one who She used to carry me on her visited my mother when I was an amazing Christian dearly. She taught me children and many Bible me approaching the falls and the noise of the water Entungwaruhanga was She had been there banana plantation. In named me Birungi. back whenever she was a small boy. She and loved me very Christian songs for stories. She had seen called out to me above hurling itself down

onto the rocks below. She had obviously heard about Peninah. Your mother is in grief, your father is gone, and your sister is dead. What are you doing? I did not answer; we both knew why I was there. She spoke again. Your mother lost every relative in Rwanda. She has the horror of trying to live without family around to support her, and she was with her husband who mistreated her and abandoned her. But she stuck to you children. How will she feel when she finds out what you have done? You are her only hope, her eyes. What will she feel when she learns of your body on the rocks below? He is consumed by revenge: But I also knew that I would not kill my self. I did not want to hurt my mother any more. I did not want to go to hell like Judas. I wanted others to take my place in death. I would return as a murderer, a killer, an angry man, with hatred in my heart. At that point I think I must have become a killer in my heart, like so many men who had stood there and smiled at death. Medad relents: It was agony to do so, but I abandoned my plan of suicide. In its place I made a vow to live until I took revenge and killed those who had plotted Peninahs death. He walked away from the suicide point with a civil war raging in him.

At the time of writing this book he reflects: I understand today that bitterness is food for demons, and I can see from that point on I felt a different person, incapable of controlling myself. (Below): The St. Johns Cathedral Christians applaud Rev. Medad for the testimony

He acknowledges that bitterness is one of the most crushing mental problems in a persons life. It is a deadly poison that needs to be brought to light and addressed urgently. His self esteem was completely crushed. He felt hated and rejected. It caused me to drink heavily, but whenever I was sober I could see that the problems were just the same. The devastating pain in their family continued. Some of his sisters were raped. He was enraged yet powerless. They used my sisters as toilet paper but I could do nothing to stop it He describes the Stone Age aspects of his community: The Bakiga (my tribe) was a male dominated society, fiercely patriarchal. The cultural laws favour and defend men while supporting the oppression of women. Women are treated as second class, and because dowry is paid before marriage, many are treated like property and beasts of burdendomestic violence against women is so deep even in Christian homes there is no political will to stop it. We would need another book to talk about that as well. He recalls that it was such a hard year in his life and it set in motion the habits of a destructive lifestyle: being angry, shouting at people not greeting them, killing people in his heart, seeing death all around, spending energy he had in him on vowing to kill.

Life continued to be hard. His sisters even prostituted themselvesYou cannot fight the sort of shame or humiliation that comes from prostitutionI will never forget the sacrifices they made for my education.(Below): Even the children were mesmerized) On a happier note he recalls that within a year his they had raised enough money to send him to school. He recalls, rather fondly that when he first walked to school very many kilometers away: Makobore High School in Rukungiri, his mother went with him. He had no mattress, no bed sheets, no shoes, no trousers, just a spare set of clothes and provisions but he was happy. He made a grass mattress using a shawl his mother gave him. He recalls his mums warning: Do not do anything to bring further shame on our family. He said yes to his mothers warning but did not honour it. At school he developed a double life that he kept hidden from his teachers and family. He joined alcohol drinking and chaoscausing gangs due to peer pressure. It is a great story that climaxes in his being delivered from all these demons and sets the stage for the deliverance and healing of his immediate family, community and thus revitalising the benefits of the spiritually groundbreaking East African Revival of the 1930s.

Back to Kyebambe Girls Secondary School for more prayers

After a moving skit by the WSM team in which Rachel was trapped, she told her testimony to Joel in a Panoroma interview

Outside the hall, one of the girls (names & class withheld) attacked by a dead fathers spirit which sleeps with her daily. A voice from a barking dog in her revealed to the prayer team that she had been given ghee to capture more spirits among her school mates by sharing the apetiser. She said many girls had eaten it. She was delievered.

The

The intense prayer session forced the girls to dash to their dorms to retrieve symbols of devil worshipping ranging from clothing, pictures etcthe young people are lured into devil worship unconsciously through blind idolization of the socalled rich music and film icons some of whom are pictured below. The stars only worship material wealth

Rev. Birungi advised that the globe on which we live is governed by an evil world order. Quoting the Bible, he encouraged the congregation: But we have the power, the authority of Jesus to cleanse, sanctify and bind. We can bind demons, even in a dream you can cast out demons. There are coordinated devil worshippers every where. Pray for everythinguse your

authority what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven(Matthew 18:18)

More prayer

And there was Holy Communion

Hundreds of the girls received Holy Communion

HM J.N. Mpeirwe and WSM Team member, Francis Musoke did not miss out

The HM and her girls get a special post-Holy Communion hands-on blessing

Hundreds of prayers requests covering such needs as deliverance from witchcraft, success in exams, peace in their families and others were collected by WSM and prayed for

The prayer requests were later analysed by the WSM team and specifically crafted letters were written to the prayer requestors by the WSM Prayer Team.

Dr. Birungi visited the Kyebambe Girls Secondary School dormitories and their environs to sanctify them against demons plus all evil forces the girls complained about strange nightmares involving serpents and other reptilesarmed with anointing oil for the cleansing mission

CONCLUSION The mission objectives were accomplished. The young believers were delivered and healed. They should be followed up and maintained in the faith. The best practices established through interaction between the WSM, the Kyebambe School administration and the students should be enhanced to fight devil worship and other satanic and witchcraft practices. We should send to them the Bibles we promised. We received hundreds of prayer requests from the girls.

We have classified (right) their requests into mainly several categories including success in examinations, deliverance from witchcraft in their homes and school, peace in their families, salvation, love, among the girls. We have replied to their requests with encouragement. It was a worthy mission. We need a thorough study on devil worship. This will help us in future missions to schools and other places. We noted that the school magazine even has satanic symbols in its mast head (name-The Star). We may have to offer the school our professionalism in Journalism so that the school can have a God-centred magazine. This can be replicated in the other schools with whom we are dealing now and in the future. We believe that well developed media can give the spread of the Gospel a lot of mileage. Thank you all for praying. To God be the Glory. God Bless U all. ALFRED WASIKE WSM COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT
