Mrs. Margaret Ssekidde of Seroma Ltd and Seroma Christian High School has called upon Christians to stop admiring rich men who do not have Jesus Christ in their lives.

Mrs. Ssekidde said this on Sunday April 3, 2016 during a Mothers Union Service held at All Saints Church Jjanyi in Kitende Parish, Entebbe Archdaconry in Namirembe Diocese 

She said that people are very tired and fatigued. They just do things anyhow and many nolonger have a sense of shame. She said that the physical  outlook people is the direct opposite of their inner man.

She said that currently men have abandoned their calling of fending for their families and have left it to their wives. She wondered how men have stooped so low in that some have decided to commit incest with their own daughters. She said that, it was such an abomination.

She told the congregation that most men have forgotten their responsibility of paying school fees for their children and have left it to their wives. 

She said that children need to be monitored even when they grow up. She said that such children get bad groups even when they are saved because they are human beings.  She advised parents to always be on the lookout never to be left out by their children. "Buli kyabeerako kibeereko aleme kukuleka. Omwana bwabeera ku social media be there and monitor him." she advised.

She wondered how the morals in Uganda have degenerated to so much that immoral people whpo are half nude are praised and 'worshiped" as "our celebrities". She said that people need to serve a living God, the God of miracles.

She advised parents to talk to their children about sex education if they are to "If you fail to say it in Luganda, please use English" she advised.

She went on to say that it was important for people to give sex talks to their children and ensure that they all get married when they are virgin and pure. she said that people ought to make Convenants with their children to ensure that they remain pure and holy not to engage in sex before marriage. 

During the service, members of the mothers union played a short skit written by professional playwright, Andrew Benon Kibuuka on the irresponsible husband, who fails to fend for his family, leaving all the responsibility to the wife, from school fees, food and even buying his own clothes.

This play strengthened Mrs. Ssekidde's Sermon and said that it depicted well the irresponsibility among men in Uganda today. She advised Christians to always read their bibles and engage in prayers and fasting.

She called upon Christians to stop admiring the rich men in Kampala because their riches are full of "bed bags" of problems. She said that such people have a lot of problems in that many spend their evenings and nights in bars hoping they would go away. 

She said that such families where God is absent, are very problematic. They shouldn't be a yardstick for success society. She called upon Christians to return to God and repent of their sins because He is a God of mercy.

She requested members to always teach their children to fear God and always attend Church services and fellowships
She said that Luke 15:11-24 teaches us to look after our children. 

She wondered how people in Uganda have ended up praising immoral people who are smocking ganja and marijuana and they take them as their role models. She said that people who are doing constructive things are not praised at all. She said that money can build a house but cannot build a home. She lamented that Uganda has stooped so low leaving it without values.

She pointed out a few issues that children want from their parents and they are as follows:-
1. Don't embarras us (temutuswaza)
2. Give us a choice to choose.
3. Give us good advice
4. Don't give us orders
5. Do not spoil us
6. Check on us every now and then

She advised parents to prophesy good about their children but not to damn them and also to teach them how to save money. 
Later on they had a closed session at the Sanctum Hotel Kitara off Entebbe Road on parenting in a Christian way led by Mrs. Ssekidde and moderated by Mrs. Ddungu and Mrs, Sebuliba.


She advised women to give birth when they are still able to do so but not to regret later when they have reached menopause. 
She advised them to guard against unnecessary contraceptives o else they risk being swallowed up by the ever growing muslim community. She also advised Christians to engage in politics business and all other public offices. 

She finally advised men to always bring home children born out of wedlock and ask for forgiveness from their spouses if they are to leave in peace and harmony.

  1. I completely agree with the message of this blog post. It's essential for us to focus on values, character, and integrity rather than just admiring the wealth of individuals. As a member of the Christian High School community, I believe that our educational institution places a strong emphasis on these values, teaching students to prioritize kindness, humility, and empathy. It's these qualities that truly make a person rich in the eyes of the Christian faith, and I'm proud that our school instills these principles in its students. Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking post!
