Earlier in his sermon, the Chaplain, Venerable Dr. Sunday Iherue enjoined Christians to always attach value to themselves by how they carry themselves, saying that value attached to oneself is the perception of the people.

“You must not look down on yourself. You must be conscious of the presence of God in all you do. Don’t engage yourself in trying to please all, please God and all other things will fall in line.”

According to him, pleasers of men will end up not pleasing anybody. He also encouraged faithfuls to always bear in mind that God will always protect and uplift the righteous who follows God in prayers and supplication.

In her comment, the wife of the Deputy Governor, Princess Madumere expressed gratitude to God for a successful 4months of marriage and for the grace upon her family while praying that their marriage will continue to be an epitome of love and abundant blessing.
