NPBC Bishop Omara Warns Lango Against Putting Devil worshippers Into Leadership

Alebtong, Uganda! Bishop Joseph Omara, the leader of the National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches in Uganda's Lango sub-region, has called on Christians to carefully evaluate the politicians who will seek their votes in 2026. He emphasized that they should only support candidates who are genuine and not involved in devil worship.

Bishop Omara shared some signs to help identify a leader who might be a devil worshipper. First, he mentioned that if a leader is very corrupt, that’s a red flag because corruption should not be tolerated. Second, he pointed out that if a leader is selfish and unwilling to help others, that’s another warning sign. He stated that in 2026, the church will speak out and guide its members on who to vote for, as they cannot allow devil worshippers to lead the people of God in politics.

As a member of the Lango Interreligious Council, Bishop Omara noted that the community suffers under poor leadership because they often fail to elect true servants of God who understand the principles of good leadership. He expressed that if it takes a month of prayer to remove evil worshippers from politics, they will do it despite any intimidation or threats.

He made these remarks during the funeral of the well-known NRM supporter, Dr. George Mawa, in Adwir Subcounty, Alebtong District. Bishop Omara praised Dr. Mawa for his dedication to helping others during his life. He highlighted that Dr. Mawa was a significant figure in Lango, known for his stand against corruption and his support for people from all backgrounds. The Bishop encouraged everyone to follow Dr. Mawa's example.

Dr. Mawa passed away at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala on November 18, 2024, leaving behind one wife and eleven children. At the funeral, Bishop Omara urged the politicians present to stay close to God and let Him guide their leadership.

Bishop Omara also criticized cultural leaders for causing division among the people. He pointed out that cultural leaders have more influence than politicians, yet they promote disunity, which brings no blessings. He remarked that Uganda is rich with fertile land and resources, but the people remain poor because they focus on division instead of unity.
