My Prophecy Encyclopedia

PROPHECY in religion, can be defined as a divinely inspired revelation, interpretation, prediction, precognition, forecast, clairvoyance, etc. A prophet mediates the relationship or dealings between other people and the divine like a proclaimer of GOD's ultimate Will. According to Miz Mzwakhe Tancredi, there are 9 types of prophets: 1. Born (Before) eg Jeremiah; 2. Yare (Prophet of prophets) eg Moses, David, etc; 3. Called eg Amos the herdsman and sycamore fruit-gatherer plus those in Ephesians 4:11; 4. Dual (Two-fold) eg Samuel the Seer; 5. Silent eg Abraham; 6. Seasonal eg Jonah; 7. Mysterious (Unknown) eg Someone mentioned in Mark 9:38-41; 8. Made eg Elisha who was a farmer; 9. Prophet not born of a woman eg Adam named all animals without anybody telling him what they were called. In the Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy, J. Barton Payne states that there are 1,817 prophecies in the Bible, comprising 27 percent of the total content. Joshua, Judges, 1st & 2nd Samuel plus 1st & 2nd Kings are considered Former Prophets [Nevi'im] while Ruth, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, etc have scrolls; Job had writings; Isaiah, Jeremiah, (Lamentations), Ezekiel and Daniel are regarded major prophets; the remaining 12 are labelled minor yet they have significant messages too. Every prophet has his critics (We are all sinners), but the prophecy is what matters...

"If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, 'Let us follow other gods' (gods you have not known) 'and let us worship them,' you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your GOD is testing you to find out whether you love HIM with all your heart and with all your soul. It is the LORD your GOD you must follow, and HIM you must revere. Keep HIS commands and obey HIM; serve HIM and hold fast to HIM..." - DEUTERONOMY 13:1-4

Enquire, probe and investigate thoroughly...

You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?" If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed (Deuteronomy 18:21-22)...

For GOD does speak - now one way, now another - though no one perceives it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds, HE may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride, to preserve them from the Pit, their lives from perishing by the sword (Job 33:14-18)...

I am GOD and there is none like ME, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done (Isaiah 46:9-10)...

(Zion's) prophets no longer find visions from the LORD (Jeremiah 2:9)... The visions of your prophets were false and worthless; they did not expose your sin to ward off your captivity. The prophets they gave you were false and misleading (Verse 14)...

From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets (Jeremiah 7:25)...

There is a GOD in Heaven who reveals mysteries. HE has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come (Daniel 2:28)... Verse 31: Before you stood a large statue... Verse 32: The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay... Verse 35: The rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth... Verse 44: The GOD of Heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people... Verse 45: This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands - a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces...

And afterwards, I will pour out MY Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions (Joel 2:28)... Verse 31: The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD...

The idols speak deceitfully, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd (Zechariah 10:2)...

Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet's reward (Matthew 10:41)...

You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to Hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers (Matthew 23:33-34)...

When you see the "abomination that causes desolation" spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it does not belong - let the reader understand - then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out... because those will be days of distress unequalled from the beginning, when GOD created the world, until now - and never to be equalled again... For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance... "the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken" (Mark 13:14-25)...

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true (Acts 17:11)...

When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all (Acts 19:6-7)...

Prophecy is one of the gifts of the Spirit of GOD, according to 1st Corinthians Chapter 12; everyone is part of the Body of Christ though different. Verse 28: And GOD has placed in the Church first of all apostles, second PROPHETS, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues...

Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the Church (1st Corinthians 14:4)...

Two or three prophets should speak and the others should weigh carefully what is said (1st Corinthians 14:29)...

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of HIM who is the Head, that is Christ. From HIM, the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work (Ephesians 4:14-16)...

See to it that noone takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. HE is the head over every power and authority (Colossians 2:8-10)...

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from GOD as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2nd Peter 1:20-21)...

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign LORD who bought them - bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping (2nd Peter 2:1-3)...

Worship GOD! For it is the Spirit of Prophecy who bears testimony to JESUS (Revelation 19:10)...

Akiane Kramarik is a self-taught Lithuanian-American painter who claims JESUS spoke to her when she was 4 years old, encouraging her to draw and paint her visions. She began to draw, was painting at 6 and wrote poetry at 7. She painted JESUS as the "Prince of Peace" at 8 years of age after fasting and praying the entire day for GOD to send a model. A carpenter came to their house; her painting resembles the image created from the Shroud of Turin which is believed to be the burial cloth of the Saviour of humanity. Is that the real face of JC? We'll all find out...

Alph Lukau is one of, if not the Richest African Prophet.

Augustine Yiga was born on 25th April 1976 in Mpaama Village, Bukomansimbi to Yosef Matovu and Elizabeth Kwagala. He was popularly called Abizaayo [Luganda for: The one who sends them back] because he would prophesy to people that their problems were as a result of witchcraft and then redirect the charms back to the original senders. He came to Kampala City to chase his dream-life after Senior 4 in the early 90s and mended watches. In the late 90s, he ditched the life of a technician to try Kadongo Kamu music. Some say, he tried his hand at street gambling before seeing "the light": In 2004, Yiga built his first kiwempe [makeshift] church in Kiwuunya, Kasubi. In 2005, he got a better space in Kawaala next to Kawaala Health Center before moving to his final plot in 2009, about 200 meters away. Maggie Kayima (Nabbi Omukazi) who sang songs eg Vva Ku Sada (ft. Buchaman), Yantuma (ft. Dr. Chameleone), Emitima Gy'abantu, etc dated him for some time. She told NilePost, "We were best friends and I have not found anyone else like him... We have our band, the TV (ABS), etc, so by the time he died, we had agreed to work together... I tried for three years and got miscarried three times, he advised that we abandon the process for some time and would try again at a later stage... If I managed to survive AIDS after being with someone for 8 years... Never joke with an anointed person!" A blood test ended their relationship. Jamil Mugerwa (former Underground agent) called her a fallen angel. Personally, I was amazed that her Facebook profile picture was too raunchy (with bust out) for a prophetess; maybe someone else created it. Yiga was admitted in Nsambya Hospital struggling with liver disease on 27th September 2020, according to Church spokesperson Farouk Semaganda Ssesaazi before passing away weeks later. Officially, Yiga had eight children...

Baal - (450) and Asherah - (400) Prophets ate at Jezebel's table. Elijah challenged Baal's prophets to call on the name of their god to answer by fire and burn a bull. They shouted from morning to noon to evening in vain...

Baba Vanga, born Vangeliya Pandeva Dimitrova on 31st January 1911 at the foot of a volcanic mountain to Pando Surchev and Paraskeva (who died three years later), was a clairvoyant and mystic until 11th August 1996. Baba [Grandmother in Bulgarian] was blinded at age 12 when a tornado lifted and threw her 2 kilometers into a crop field covering her brown eyes with sand and dust; she had gone to Khan Fountain with her cousins. While still waiting for rescue, she experienced her first vision after which she understood her purpose in life: She would predict the future and heal the sick. According to her, the universe will end in 5079 AD...

Design (especially Industrial, Engineering or Product) is like deliberate prophecy in black and white even though it might not be looked at that way...

Dreamsurfing is the exploration of dreams and visions. We sleep for about one third of the day and most likely dream during that time. It might be GOD speaking to us, but we do not pay attention saying, "It's just a hazy dream!" Keep a dreambook or journal where you record what you see in your sleep; you'll be stunned by how parallel some symbols are to waking life. I believe in dream messages...

Drucilla Mildred leads the Light Fellowship in Kampala, Uganda. She preaches about spiritual portals and other movie-like supernatural phenomena...

Edgar Cayce was an American mystic (1877-1945) labelled the "Sleeping Prophet" with "x-ray" vision because he saw multiple things while in a trance with eyes closed. All he needed was a name and location of the person he had to read eg Thomas Edison and so on, categorised as numbers instead of names. He saw the Great Depression four years before it happened; World War II; mob rule in the US; diagnosed illnesses; saw records hidden in the Sphinx of Egypt; spoke of Essenes including women and children; Nile flowed to the Atlantic Ocean; Lost land of Atlantis predated Eden; etc. Cayce, a photographer, could memorise entire books by sleeping on them. He is the Most Documented Psychic of the 20th Century; text recordings of his readings are quite many, literally volumes. Cayce believed that whoever manages "detachment from self-interest" can do what he did. He even predicted his own death and died of a stroke on 3rd January (Exactly two years before my dad's birth)...

Edmond Oduka (who calls himself the Sharp Shooter) leads the Kainos Fellowship. He said, "Prophecy starts by dreams... In Chapter 1 to 5, Daniel was dreaming. In Chapter 6, 7, 8 and 9, the dreams progressed to become visions and he was able to have those experiences while awake... Prophecy that does not reveal Christ is witchcraft..."

Elvis Mbonye was born on 27th March 1977 in Jinja, Uganda to Leo Ntiru and Teddy. His family which includes six siblings later moved to Bugolobi, a suburb in Kampala (Capital City). He is the founder of Zoe Fellowship that meets at Zoe Grounds on Plot 47 Kigo, Lweza next to Acacia Lakeside Campus (along Entebbe Express Highway) and says that his experience was an instant transformation that ushered him into a level of life higher than the physical. In some circles, he might be labelled a modern-day mystic. To become a partner called a Remnant or Heir of gold, you must be registered and attend regular meetings that implore you to pledge and give regularly even as low as 1,000 UGX in order to tap into the anointing of the "Prophet to the Nations". Personally, I think of him as Profit; he could be connected to a golden Divine and can tell you the dark bibles to avoid. Any prophet(ess) can have fails due to human interpretation, but the main thing is what (s)he sees, that's what matters. Mbonye's first book "Tasting the Powers of the Age to Come" is two-thirds about dreams and taught me the term Dream Induction: Ask your spirit any question before sleeping and the answer it finds will be replayed to you as a dream. The first time I attended his fellowship was in the same month my African hero Nelson Mandela died (December 2013); I did it because of a June 2013 prophecy Mbonye made. It was even replayed in the fellowship; amazing! However, after telling us to come early the next Tuesday so that he can prophesy to many people (I wanted to be among the chosen), he did not show up giving the excuse that the Holy Spirit told him not to attend. I never went back the third time but followed him online. He's got many critics who accuse him of witchcraft, prosperity preaching and manipulation, but those who believe in him have their own experiences and accord him double honour every 1st September in a massive gala. Jamil Mugerwa (a former underground agent) puts him in the same bracket as Apostle Grace Lubega...

Emmanuel Makandiwa is a Zimbabwean prophet and philanthropist who founded the United Family International Church (UFIC). Some view him as a businessman while others call him pastor...

Enoch went to Heaven alive at 365 years of age after he walked faithfully with GOD who took him away (Genesis 5:21-24). Unfortunately, his three books are not included in the common Bible, but relegated to the Forbidden Books though reveal a lot about the 200 sons of GOD who married the beautiful daughters of humans, their children the Nephilim giants (like in Genesis 6:4) and other supernatural things. The first time I decided to read his books after midnight in Arua, a stinky flying cockroach bit my cold left calf painfully. Islamic tradition identifies him as Idris, the 2nd prophet mentioned by the Koran and the first person to jihad or fight in the name of ALLAH against corruption and evil. Enoch was the 5th generation from Adam and great-grandfather of Noah...

Hananiah son of Azzur from Gibeon was a false prophet during the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah. Jeremiah told him, "The LORD has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies..." He died in the 7th month of that same year (Jeremiah 28)...

Illusion is a perceptual experience that may differ from the physical properties of an object or a situation. An illusionist is a performer who specialises in creating illusions or tricks to entertain an audience. They use sleight of hand, misdirection and optical illusions to create the appearance of magic or supernatural abilities captivating viewers with their skills and creativity. The wisemen, sorcerors and Egyptian magicians used secret arts to do what Moses and Aaron had done infront of the Pharaoh but Aaron's staff swallowed their staffs which had become snakes. Famous illusionists include David Copperfield who fasted for 44 days (four more than JESUS), Dynamo walked on water plus made countless fish fall out from a bucket, Criss Angel simulated crucifixion in 2015, Penn & Teller are skeptics who debunk supernatural claims by revealing the secrers behind their tricks, etc. If conmen used illusions, it would be very devastating like paying all your cash money in a supermarket only to find out it's an abandoned building but the illusionist made you see shelves with many desirable products and people...

Isaiah Mbuga is a musician, lecturer and dedicated preacher of GOD's Word. He founded Christ Heart Church; Apostle Grace Lubega broke away from him in 2016 to form the youth-attracting Phaneroo but I've known Isaiah as a man whose fellowships are Holy Spirit-filled since my days at UCU Mukono. My cousin attended his fellowships at Mabirizi Plaza and told me he sought solace there after work in the capital city. Mbuga prophesied a season of lockdown before Covid-19 came... 

Jehu was the 10th King of the northern Kingdom of Israel since Jeroboam I and reigned for 28 years; he exterminated the house of Ahab. Jehu was the son of Jehoshaphat, grandson of Nimshi and great-grandson of Omri (2nd Kings 9:2)...

JESUS Christ is the Son of GOD, arguably the Greatest Prophet of All-Time because HE died for all the other prophets: JESUS accurately predicted that Judas would betray HIM to enemies, Peter deny him before the cock crows thrice plus HE would resurrect after three days. Besides being the Lamb of GOD or Lion of Judah, JESUS is my BOAT (Best Of All Time), the Messiah! New Testament authors are explicit about HIM being present in the OT, something I took a very long while to accept because I believed GOD is different (HE alone knows when HIS Son will return for Armageddon but apparently): The "I Am" in whom Abraham rejoiced was JC (John 8:56-58); Christ motivated Moses (Hebrews 11:26); The Redeemer brought the Israelites out of Egypt (Jude 5); The Rock in the wilderness was Christ (1st Corinthians 10:4); The King of Isaiah's temple visions was Christ (John 12:40-41); JESUS walks in Eden (Genesis 3); JESUS burns at the bush (Exodus 3); etc. JESUS is Lord and has always been. HE promised to return to Earth one day and we keep waiting; only GOD knows when...

Magic is a forbidden power (presumably from the Devil) used to control events or do impossible things like turning cardboard papers into bread instantly. Wise men, sorcerors and Egyptian magicians could do the same things as Moses using their secret arts (Exodus 7:11-12). Witches, wizards or warlocks use their knowledge of herbs to manipulate elements. Meanwhile, magicians like Troy can predict the future with precision. Growing up in Jinja (Uganda), I wanted to practise magic because I saw nothing wrong with it as long as you hurt nobody and instead entertained viewers but gave up and accepted JESUS into my heart instead...

After his parents separated, Kiganda spent more time with his father in Entebbe than mother in Nansana. From Banda where Glory to Glory Ministries was born with only five worshippers, his church moved in 2016 to City Royal Hotel near Airtel, a location opposite Shell Bugolobi with more than 500 members. The shift happened after several prophecies came true including one for a woman in his Banda congregation that she would marry a White Dutchman in a few months time despite being deeply in love with a Black Ugandan. The woman branded Kiganda a pretender and left the church but returned when the prophecy unfolded before her eyes. Other believers and pastors also came to the place...

Muhammad  (Peace Be Upon Him) who is considered the Greatest Prophet of GOD by Muslims united Arabia into a single religious polity; he called JESUS (PBUH) the "Word of GOD" and said the Son of Mary will return to judge humankind. Muhammad (570 to 8th June 632) married a total of 11 wives (labelled Mothers of the Believers in Koran 33:6); at the age of 25, he married Khadijah (a 40-year-old widow and daughter of a merchant) until her death 25 years later. In the remaining years of his life, he married widows and divorcees (one every year) except Aisha who was a preteen virgin he was very fond of (and she consummated the marriage at either 9 or 10). Only two wives bore him children, his first produced two sons (Qasim and Abd Allah who both died young) plus one daughter Fatimah (According to Shia scholars, three others from Khadijah were older stepdaughters namely Zaynab, Ruqaiya and Umm Kulthum); as well as Mariyah a slave concubine from the Governor of Egypt produced Ibrahim who died at 18 months. The Koran forbade every man from marrying the prophet's widows after him but allows Muslims a maximum of four wives at a time...

He revealed in one of his fellowships that he used to practise witchcraft but now is a Nabbi [Prophet of GOD]. In 2006, I started attending his lunchtime fellowships at Cineplex Cinema (which was next to one of the Devil's several altars in Kampala) and one sunrise while turning left at the corner near CPS (Central Police Station) in Kampala, to walk to my uncle's Daisy Arcade office on Buganda Road, I heard a voice like an angel speak vividly in my right ear: You are about to meet the Devil; then saw a barefooted, Congolese-like pale-brown to eraka-redskinned man in a white T-shirt and blood-red gentleman trousers like Baphomet walking in the opposite direction on my sidewalk. I saw noone else on that ever-busy street except parked cars and so cut right before reaching the stranger. There was only 5,000 UGX in my pocket as offertory for Pastor Tom's fellowship. I had prayed to the Devil at least thrice before (Ignorantly after 1995, in 2001 because of annoyingly condescending insults from a new schoolmate [I have a right to remain quiet] and 2005 after growing apart with the Mukonzo babe I wanted to marry [Asked the Devil to pick for me any other woman so that I forget about the one who snubbed me; the Devil almost killed me in 2nd Year but GOD saved me while my neighbour's Watoto Church members had an overnight at our hostel]). I was never going to ask Satan for anything again. I've visited Pastor Sembera's church office in Nsambya more than once but he never told me about any of my problems through prophecy, just prayed for me.

Uebert Angel is a South Africa-based British-Zimbabwean prophet who popularised "miracle money" like a pioneer. Uebert, married to Beverly Angel (BeBe) whom he saw in several dreamvisions before proposing marriage and founder of Good News Church, is the author of many books including "Spiritual Warfare". He once saw a vision where an angel informed him that when musicians like P. Diddy and Rihanna watch secular music videos, they think they are enjoying yet it only entertains the demons in them, "Every realm you enter, there is a spirit" leading you there. His lectures are comprehensively informative...

William Marrion Branham was born on 6th April 1909 in Kentucky near Burksville (USA) as the first of nine children to extremely poor parents Charles and Ella Branham. Within minutes of his birth in a tiny one-room cabin, a strange light entered the room and hovered over the bed where he was laying. Branham later became a faith healer who revealed the seven seals of Revelation in the Bible and initiated the post-World War II healing revival. Other evangelists such as Oral Roberts, T. L. Osborne and A. A. Allen followed Brother Branham and started their own healing revivals. He died on 24th December 1965 after a car accident six days before. His taking away from Earth was predicted by Kenneth Hagin and Anna Schrader...

TIMEKEEPER (Dreamsurfer) NOTE: Besides the Gospel, prayers, testimonies, healings, breakthroughs, worship music and charity, Church is basically about offertory, firstfruits, gifts or money: Tithe (Seed) is compulsory 10 percent income tax levied on every believer. Meanwhile, the poor widow in Luke 21:1-4 gave 100 percent of all she had to live on (two very small copper coins). Every week is a Jege Jege Festival. Ideally, you cannot reap when you don't sow in GOD's storehouse. A prophet doesn't have to tell you that truth; it's already written in the Bible. Invest in GOD's work, test HIM in this for HE will open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it (Malachi 3:10); it is so sweet to trust in JESUS who is the one Way to Heaven. Deuteronomy 14:22-29 also talks about tithes and explains how a tenth of all that your fields produce each year can be exchanged for silver and taken to the place the LORD your GOD will choose (Verse 25). When Israelites wailed in Numbers 11 that they wanted meat to eat instead of daily manna, GOD drove quail birds from the sea about 90 centimeters deep all around the camp, as far as a day's walk in any direction; GOD was angry and struck them with a severe plague while the meat was still between their teeth. Never complain about the little GOD gives; HE has enough power to kill you with abundance. GOD instructed ravens in 1st Kings 17:2-6 to supply Elijah with food (bread and meat in the morning and evening). HE is not a man that HIS hand is short. JESUS fed 5,000 men by multiplying two fish and five loaves (a boy's lunch). Do you worry about what you will eat or wear? Are you discontent; is it money you want? JESUS allowed HIS future betrayer to handle HIS finances and told another disciple to find tax money in the mouth of a fish, not from marine spirits. Money ain't a thing to the ALMIGHTY JAH...

Autoblocking shuts out negativity from critics, Lady Joanita Nagawa taught me that...

You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you...

When insults, criticisms or rebukes sip through psychological dykes and reach down to the heart, they build up cancerous lumps of hate which can turn into devilish malice unless you detox through forgiveness. During Senior 5, I almost killed a classmate at Makerere College School (Macos) because I was tired of him calling me "Daft, stupid, fake and boring" just because I was quiet. Everyone gets bored, but you never hear me yapping about it nor yawning. I had a right to remain silent; even my academic grades were usually better than his whenever he compared our test marks until he gave up but I never rubbed it in. I knew a lot about Arsenal which he wanted to be entertained about, but also knew the pain their failures caused to fans (It was my 4th season as a Gooner since Michael Jordan had retired)...

Insults or rebukes are like missiles; you need an Iron Dome defence in your mind to counter the projectiles: Someone tells you that you are poor, but you know your CREATOR owns everything and can chop for you a share any hour. Your own thoughts can nullify criticism sent through your eyes or ears instead of letting it reach your heart and causing turmoil. Peace is a choice...

The last will be first...

Depression is a mindtrick...

Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendour of their houses increases; for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendour will not descend with them (Psalm 49:16-17)

Like hunger, depression comes and goes...

Endure hardship as discipline (Hebrews 12:7)...

When my father told me one Sunday afternoon that I was unimportant in society, I almost fainted; it wasn't because of the words but the gruesome distress I saw in his facial countenance: It looked like he was sorrowful that I hadn't become a VIP, popular, famous, superrich, very active in society or something. I felt like I had failed my dad after everything I've ever tried to achieve. When visitors come, am introduced as jobless; it's not pleasant but I take it though he described me as a blogger one night when over 30 pipo attended a party at home: To be honest, am an Artist. Another night, he told me I was unsocial and a dark gloom covered me until my ex-heartthrob lifted it away about 83 minutes later with a sudden Facebook message before midnight; she had been recovering in Kampala from the death of her own father three months behind. It's like GOD whispered and asked her to reach out to me coz I was planning to just sleep and wake up refreshed from my quicksand moment, Apocalypto...

The heart may hurt, but the mind shouldn't mind...

I went for a party and after serving food, I found my white seat in the sun had been removed. Instead of complaining or asking about it, I simply went and sat on a free chair in the shed near the west wall fence as the sun set. It wasn't even my personal seat in the first place, laughed inside just in case somebody was trying to disrupt me...

At Hotel Africana Kampala (Wampewo Avenue), I unusually sat in the front row at a "high society" workshop for a change. During the public convenience break, a young lady sitted behind me in the second row tried to tease me saying I should vacate my seat becoz her boyfriend was going to come and displace me; it reminded me of a Bible verse about being bounced to the back and humiliated. I calmly told her with compressed anger that I had sat there in the pre-break session and if her boyfriend owned Hotel Africana, then he can come bounce me. She shut up as if disarmed and the men around looked at me with botched smiles, heehee. Why do wannabe bullies try slurs they can't maintain? Conference ended without any more hullabaloo...

In a Kitabuliki (Kyebando Kisalosalo) wooden video shack, a Man Utd dude tried to bounce me during the halftime break in an Arsenal versus Wigan game, but I refused. So, he kept breathing down my neck from behind even when Wigan scored, probably trying to anger me but Arsenal's equaliser by Flamini and then winner by Rosicky made me scream out all my anger instead of fighting him. I left the wannabe bully to eat the seat he wanted to usurp...

During morning parade in Senior 5, a dude studying a different combination plus Fine Art which I had dropped kept knocking my head from behind with his bare knuckles. So I said: That homo touching my head should stop! He backed down...

Bedwetting can be managed by placing a waterproof material eg macintosh, kavera or a 15,000 UGX thin, foldable synthetic mattress between thicker mattress and bedsheets... I started boarding school in P6 and one demoralising day, I saw my urine-wet mattress hanging on the school wirefence when I walked out of class to ease myself; the matron had found out that I was a bedwetter. I tried various things but improved very little. Some nights, I would ask GOD to help me but instead wake up in a bigger pool of liquid on my bed and exclaim: Why me, LORD? I accepted my thorn in the flesh around O-Level... S2 was one of my worst moments; some nights I would sleep on springs and a blanket only since my mattress had been soaked with water splashed up by bathing students or when it was thrown down onto the path of water used to mop toilet and washingbay floors. That felt really low but decided to start carrying my red macintosh to school during S3. In S4, I overheard a schoolmate say that bedwetters should not pocket. At university, my bedwetting reduced immensely because I was now more liberated and less anxious...

When bullies pick on you, find a mental trick to make them feel sorry about their misstep; show them that you are unaffected or indifferent; do not get angry! Sidestep, jump their trap...

"When they push you down, get back up!" - Chris Brown

The difference between depression and peace is JESUS...

Ayikobua [Ayiko 'bu-a or Ayiko bhu-a] is a word, name or phrase of Lugbara origin and represents (mental) resilience, strength and the determination to overcome challenges. Problems come and go like a nonstop loop. Drift away mentally! If you have a problem, then just look up to Heaven! Happiness is in Heaven; here on Earth, we have to face Death, grief, sadness, separation, accidents, boredom, hardships, lack of money, drought, no food, rebuke, defeat, difficulties, drowning, fear, worry, depression, divorce, haters, physical abuse (domestic violence), temptation, inadequacy, sorrow, rape, abandonment, verbal abuse (insults), abortion, discrimination, segregation, racism, bleeding, wounds, swellings, cancer, hunger, classism, retrenchment, riots, shock, stress, exhaustion, underpayment, fraud, unemployment, losses, failure, debts, nightmares, lies, tricksters, cheating, slander (defamation), stomach upsets, fever, poisoning, floods, rot, bad news, poverty, sickness, thorns, cuts, nails, breakdowns, fighting, theft, wars, ridicule, disrespect, contempt, strife, abuse, competition, heartwreck, rejection, betrayal, etc...

Public pressure to do what?

From downcast to edified and uplifted...

One of the lowest moments in my life was when I was 8 years old in Jinja: All the males in the house (Father, brother, mother's brother and father's nephew) moved to Kampala City and left me with the females. I wept inconsolably because I missed them but vowed never to fall in such a dark place again. I found solace in football; it took my attention away from the separation. Months later on the weekend our father was going to drive us to his new home, I sang and danced while dressing up like the Happiest Kid on the planet, but didn't know KLA would leave multiple scars on me...

Just live your life...

Stress free...

Quitting alcohol is as simple as telling your subconscious mind: I will not drink fermented stuff...

Snakeburning is the act of shaking snakes off you into the fire like Apostle Paul (Acts 28:5); use your problems as fuel for the fire...

When life throws rotten lemons at you, collect them to make manure...

Depression is constant sadness for weeks...

Depression is feeling down or out nonstop...

Depression is a persistent state of worrying...

When the Rwenzori babe I genuinely wanted to marry told me that everything I want to give her she "will get from another man" in 2005, I prayed to the Devil (GOD forgive me) to pick for me her replacement; any chick would do for a bounceback. I just wanted to get her out of my system like The Wolverine (2013 film) plucked out a parasite that was making him weaker from inside his body. Years passed and my ex-crush apologised, told me she cried for acting like a "bitch" (her own words) and treating me the way she did. I had already forgiven her to maintain my peace after heartwreck... Fast forward to Monday 15th March 2021, a message from her while she recovered from losing her father around four months behind brightened my night at exactly 23:23 after about 83 minutes of dark gloom in my soul following criticism by my own father that am unsocial... 

Go through the motions...

My beloved cousin told me I was lousy and it felt like she frontstabbed me with a knife...

Synthetic happiness (Wanting what you get) is more stable than natural happiness (Getting what you want) because it is not conditional...

Failure is when you do not achieve what you planned; growing up, I wanted to become a footballer like Romario; finish A-Level at SMACK; graduate from Makerere University Kampala sponsored by Government (even fasted for it during Ramadan 2002 plus slept for only two hours on some nights in vain); make a lot of money; turn Mariam Were (Black Beauty) into my wife, later Alice Mbayahi (Megabyte); make the beautiful, supadupa Cynthia Letasi my infinite friend for changing my life like a kumari; create movies; speedily acquire advanced skills in electronics repair; etc...

Success is getting exactly what your heart wants eg 4 on 4 in PLE; admission into SMACK for O-Level; getting a bursary at the UCU Campus (though partial, but reduced the fees burden on my parents); making it to Maisha Filmlab after three failed attempts (Called two days before the start of the 4th edition only after one candidate out of 9 [a Kenyan] declined to attend); cartooning for New Vision (even though briefly); buying an internet phone where I can read emails instead of walking a kilometre in the sun or dark to a cafe; etc but Double Happy-iness is wanting what you get like teachers appoint me as Headboy in P7; Semaks asks me to be Timekeeper in S3; Shaphan Andeku calls me to blog for Arua District Local Government; Loice Epetiru recommends me for a comic project at HEPS Uganda; Mike Watmon Kinyera (aka Monex) hires me to illustrate his 2016 book; Professor Kristof Titeca in Belgium pays me for an old Arua Boys poster I made for a prospective film; seeing my 2016 modification of the Arua Municipal Council emblem into a Citystate trademark on the 2021 Arua Central Market west face by Dott Services (Nobody told me to redraw that logo, I just felt inspired coz Arua was a city to me since Y2K before it officially became one on Wednesday 1st July 2020); Wikipedia merit award; etc...

Death will come without restraint like sleep, but before that, let's play out our 120 years...

I learnt early in this life that people you love eventually leave; it pains the heart but must not hurt the mind too...

At 40 years old with no wife, no child, no house, no Masters degree, no Ph.D, no fulltime job, no car, what do you think goes through my mind? Wasted time, underachievement, no future? Well, at least there are other things I have done right like accepting JESUS into my heart as my Saviour at 14 years...

Who determines what happiness is?

Death has occurred to X...

"You made me who I am from the words you said." - Chipmunk

You are not the first person to go through what you are going through...

After Rejection, there is misery, confusion, anger, regret, thoughts of revenge or try again but when you try elsewhere, you detach yourself from the source of pain...

When I woke up and discovered that Manchester City had beaten Arsenal 1-3 at the Emirates in February 2023, I felt a brief, instant, sharp pain in my heart (Had never experienced that before). That is why the FA Community Shield equaliser by Trossard six months later made me scream and Martinelli's 86th minute winner during the new EPL season was otherworldly; my century froze...

Ravens fed Elijah like delivery drones...

Perspective matters; the letter M is W, 3 or E depending on which angle you view it from...

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is the guide used by most mental health professionals, according to American Psychiatric Association (APA). If you experience at least five of the following eight symptoms most of the day, nearly every day for at least two weeks, you may be diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Clinical Depression; but either persistent low mood or loss of interest must register. The symptoms make it difficult to function normally: 1. Constantly feel tearful, empty or worthless; 2. Have little interest or pleasure in your work, hobbies, friends, family and other things you once enjoyed; 3. Notice dramatic changes up or down in your appetite or weight not related to dieting; 4. Often feel listless or fatigued for no obvious reason; 5. Have trouble concentrating or making decisions; 6. Find yourself wringing your hands, pacing or showing other signs of anxious restlessness - or the opposite, moving or speaking more slowly than usual; 7. Struggle with insomnia or sleep too much; 8. Have recurrent thoughts of suicide or death...

People die every year, but the reactions remain tearful. The faster you accept reality, the milder the pain...

If you do not tell a girl you love her, she will say you are shy, timid, afraid of women and a coward. However, when you reveal your true feelings, she will complain that you are nagging, obsessed, immoral, can't afford her, sexually assaulting, make her feel uncomfortable, womaniser, lecher, pedophile, not her type, deserving of arrest; ask Brian Isiko...

The remedy for depression is Mindshifting; whatever things are true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, worthy of praise, etc, think about these as the Bible says in Philippians 4:8. Delete or discard the sad thoughts...

Losing a job frees you to create your own or find another which might be better...

"Happy days will drown the pain..." - Michael Jackson ("Stranger In Moscow")

Some pipo think am depressed; self isolation to get personal goals achieved is not withdrawal from society, fasting is not starving, keeping silent to seek GOD is not a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, et cetera...

Symptoms of depression in adults include persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, irritation, overwhelming guilt, anxiety, frustration, anger, changes in appetite, inability to concentrate, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, etc...

Meditate...

When my month at New Vision ended around mid January 2011, my 3rd cousin asked me whether I will have NSSF pension funds in future and a dark spiritual cloud hovered above me while alone in my room in Kyebando Kisalosalo (KLA City); so I lit up some marijuana from Maracha to remove the demonic greyness I could sense in my space. Even a pre-recorded call from President M7 to thank me for voting (which I hadn't done though wished he would win) didn't change my mood massively though I responded for some seconds before realising M7's voice was just being replayed via phonecall...

Football losses cause depression in some people (Messi fanboy Dinu Alex killed himself in Kerala, India after his icon's failures in the first two games of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018; the only game that has ever brought tears to my eyes was Arsenal's 1-0 defeat at Leeds courtesy of Olivier Dacourt in Y2K (Deja vu of the failure to retain the 1999 Premiership) but during my first five seasons as an Arsenal fan, every loss would result in a gloomy week until the next match. Later, I couldn't watch sports news for two days but came to the acceptance that: Sometimes you win, other times you lose or draw. Basketball is more clearcut; either you win like His Airness MJ23 or fall...

Depression happens in the mind, not stomach nor bank account (pocket); control your thoughts...

Sad news never ends...

In 2018, I spent money so recklessly that I remained with only a 500 UGX coin. Sunday morning before sunrise, a dream told me to deposit that remaining coin (which was the only hard cash I had left) in an offertory bag that resembled the ones used in Church of Uganda services. I obeyed faithfully and two days later, I received a khaki Arua Public Primary School envelope with banknotes worth an unexpected 500,000 UGX; that is a thousand-fold. I was used to mainly ten-fold multiplication for tithes. GOD doesn't drink porridge; HE can flip your situation in an instant coz GOD is with us... Ten years before that, I almost turned down a gig in the region where my ex-heartthrob came from, but the Holy Spirit convinced me to accept it and got paid over the same amount for only 4 to 5 days work on my first documentary doing almost nothing or just little. The cameraman did the bulk of the job...

No matter how dry the soil is right now, rain will fall again some day...

Telling another human being (man or woman) that they do not know depression is like boasting that you know more about hunger, pain, suffering, difficulties, sickness, humiliation, defeat, rejection, lack and grief; everyone faces these ish-ues and have ways to cope...

HOW TO DEAL WITH REJECTION (NON-ACCEPTANCE):
Playing football as a kid was my distraction remedy in 1992 after my father plus the other three males in the house left me in Jinja with the females and moved to Kampala. I cried inconsolably at 8 years of age feeling relegated into a very dark and lonely abyss but swore to myself never to stoop that low again. I learnt very early in this life that people (family, classmates, workmates, friends, etc) eventually leave, so enjoy their presence while they are still near. I refuse to cry...
Words cannot kill the body but they sometimes wound the inner person, heart, soul or mind eg Unimportant, Poor handwriting, Unsocial, Lousy, Jobless, Childless, Poverty-stricken, etc. Tell yourself the opposite and see how your state of mind changes. Some people especially women (including mothers) have contacted me to help them deal with the pain caused by words said by people close to them about their inactivity despite working hard or bodyshaming. Another was cheated on by her husband multiple times and felt hurt deep inside her soul despite giving her all to their marriage. She sought divorce and a different lover, but her damaged heart just needed mending. Monogamy prevents STDs and limits illegitimacy of children, but every human is capable of cheating in spirit. Some biblical patriarchs unlike Moses had more than one woman while Koran allows four if you can treat them equally which is difficult and causes bad feelings among co-wives...
You do not need anyone's approval nor social validation. Why pay for likes on soso media? Even celebrities with millions of likes commit suicide. Find ways to deal with your desire to fit in; just be yourself! I was suspended from Twitter, so I joined Telegram and Threads...
Getting blocked from joining the Technical Drawing class in Senior 5 made me start writing the name of GOD in all caps. Although HE did not bless me with favour, HE remains worthy of worship...
After the girl I wanted to marry told me everything I want to give her she will get from another man, I swore never to chase after her again and looked for her replacement (a bounceback girlfriend). Find love in other arms! Beautiful women are uncountably many; you only need one out of billions. My Rwenzori crush told me I was unimpressive and "despised" me too because of my political affiliations, but I forgave her...
I have applied for so many jobs that if I saved the money I've spent on trying to acquire them through printing applications, transportation or paying telecom fees, I would have bought an asset instead. Create your own jobs plus pray for wisdom and resources from GOD...
I was barred by security from entering the National Theatre compound during CHOGM (when the Queen of England was in Uganda) yet I had a painting to finish and decided to leave Kampala and go to Mukono to drain the toxicity caused by a fellow Black out of my system...
When the Lugbara girl I adore the most told me at the end of March Twenty22 that she is not interested in my obsession after feeling disrespected by a secret move I tried to make to honour her, I decided to focus on Lugbara Art instead (lower end of the spectrum); Rejection (or Disconnection) is Redirection. Do not hang yourself just because someone defriends you after decades tolerating you. Accept the status quo and find your level! Warriors suffer patiently...

TESTIMONIES:
Melisa Ruth Kisakye (She thought her father did not like her because he left them. Evicted from home by her mother, her boyfriend - whom she rekindled a friendship with after breaking up around Senior 6, drinking and attempting suicide before fornicating with other men in Uganda - wanted to electrocute her, then overdose himself. He had written a suicide note plus padlocked her and himself inside their home because he did not trust her... She later got a government job): I asked GOD for one last chance, "If I leave this room in the morning, I will not turn back..." For two weeks, I was depressed after. I knew these were the consequences of disobedience. At church I was different, outside I was someone else... I decided to get baptised... I fasted for four days, I would only drink a glass of water (at midday)... I wanted the Holy Spirit... GOD is my everything...

Mrs. Brown: I was scared but I did turn over everything, I turned over every dime, I emptied it out on the altar, over 7,000 Dollars, it was a lot of money. And I said: Okay GOD, I'll turn it over, but... do YOUR part... HE taught me, HE said: Trust ME... That was so big to me, but it was so small to HIM. GOD started opening up doors for me... HE blessed me with a daycare. I was allowed to have eight children. For now, my capacity is 16 children. Eight children will bring me a little over 8,000 Dollars a month and 16 children... over 16,000 per month... That 7,000 I turned over to HIM, am embarassed, hahahaha! I never knew that HIS treasure was greater than mine. The greatest gift of all is HIS Holy Spirit, the joy. I can't compare the money, the things to the joy...
