Prayer For The Nation of Uganda

Last Updated on July 31, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we are engaging in prayer for the nation of Uganda. Uganda is one of the countries located in the east of Africa. It was one of the African countries that was never fully colonized, as non- Africans were not allowed to acquire freeholds. It is regarded as the Pearl of Africa because of its unique natural destination as compared to other African countries basically because of its large forested area composed of natural parks and wildlife reserves giving home to a large number of primates including Chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, butterflies and birds.

Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, small deposits of copper, gold and other minerals and recently discovered oil. Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing more than one-third of the work force.
They have however been recorded to have a high level of poverty, infact, they were regarded to as the poorest country at some point. Diseases are a major cause of poverty in Uganda, infant and child mortality rates remain high, wit 131 deaths per 1,000 births. They have also been recorded to have one of the smallest churches in the world

WHY SHOULD YOU PRAY FOR THE NATION OF UGANDA

When things go wrong and when things go right we are expected to pray. God is not a purposeless God, everything He does, He does for a reason. God’s major design for prayer is to allow His will to be done at every point ( Matthew 6). If we find ourselves living below God’s standard for our lives and our nations, living in poverty, living in darkness, living in constant sickness and death, then it means we have not stayed with God in prayer to right the wrongs and to bring God’s purpose to pass.
Looking at the nation of Uganda for instance, we can see that God’s purposes is not playing out in their lives, economy and health, it is therefore very important that we find out in the place of prayer the will of God for the nation of Uganda and what to do for its fulfilment in their lives.

PRAY FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF UGANDA

We are meant to pray for the nation of Uganda as well as pray for its government. Leadership as admirable as it is, is one major position where extra effort has to be employed in order for success to be guaranteed. in other words, no man in a place of leadership finds it so funny being there, this is why it is important for those who are under their leadership to constantly stand in gap for them in the place of prayers. As much as we sometimes believe that our leaders are bad and selfish, the truth remains that they desire to give in their best for the benefit of the nation, its just that they are limited by so many forces, some of them are seen while others are unseen, but when we pray for them, God can lead them in the path of righteousnes (Ps 23).

More so, God speaking through His prophet John in the book of (3 John), says that His desire is for us to prosper and be in health, this is much more than a desire for individuals but also for nations This means therefore, that if we pray for the government of Uganda, he can release upon them the wisdom with which to make the land a place of prosperity and good health.

PRAY FOR THE ECONOMY OF UGANDA

The nation of Uganda is so blessed with so much natural resources which serves as a great economic advantage to them, they however seem not to know how to convert these resources into wealth for themselves.
One of the times Jesus was recorded to have shed tears in scripture was when He looked at the city of Jerusalem and was sorrowful because they didn’t know and understand the provision He had made for their peace (Luke 14). God has made several provisions for the peace and prosperity of Uganda, some of which are the natural resources that they have.

It is possible that a nation can become ignorant of their advantages and because of that wallow in poverty. This is why it is important to pray for the nation of Uganda, that the eyes of their understanding will be flooded with light, so that they will know how to convert their resources into wealth.

PRAY FOR THE CITIZENS OF UGANDA

One of the major gifts of God to the earth is the gift of man. The earth today cannot be functional when there is an absence of man in it. God embedded so much in the entity called man to the point where he gave him dominion over all things.
The citizens of Uganda, just like the citizens of any other country need to come to the realization of who they have been designed to be, this will to a large extent help them to come out of the shackles of poverty that has eaten them up. Lots of Ugandans live below their potentials and die without coming to their realization, many have even accepted it as the norm and because of this, no longer strive for a life of fulfilment.

It is therefore very important that as we engage in  prayer for the nation of Uganda, we also pray for its citizens so that they can realize that God wants the best for them and that he can bring them out of poverty and diseases that has held them bound long before now.

PRAY FOR THE CHURCH IN UGANDA

The nation of Uganda is said to have one of the smallest Churches in the world, it means that the light of God has not spread mightily to those areas. More so, if we say the Church is the major channel through which God can birth His purposes, then it means that the Ugandan Church must be alive and alert for Him to do that. This is why we cannot but pray for the Church in Uganda for God to enlarge them and enable them to do His will even in the face of oppositions.

In conclusion, it is important that we understand all the reasons why we should pray this  prayer for the nation of Uganda, this will help us to channel our prayers rightly and to also help us get the desired results.
