All isn’t well among the top leadership of the Balokole/Pentecostal Churches in Kampala. There is growing uneasiness that one of the most revered Balokole leaders has lately been embroiled in marital complications which potentially could end into total destruction and erosion of his reputation carefully built over several decades.
Apostle John Mulinde, who famously leads World Trumpet Missions Ministries which owns Seguku-based Prayer Mountain among other well known establishments, is choking on a brewing marital crisis or dilemma whereby the young lady he wants to take on for a wife has been rejected by majority of his close friends. These include fellow senior pastors and Balokole elders in Kampala who have been meeting to find a way to avert the looming chaos at Trumpet Missions.
The woman he is madly in love with and wants to take up has been identified by many fellow pastors and Balokole elders as ill-mannered and therefore unsuitable for such a well-celebrated man of God with a globally-diverse flock. Mulinde is huge to the extent that he ministers to thousands even in the US and he these days does much of his ministry work abroad than in Uganda. He is also famous for annually taking thousands of pilgrims to Israel and other parts of the Holy land.
His current determination to officially marry and take on this new woman (names withheld) is preceded by secretive but very exhaustive divorce proceedings which fortunately have since been concluded, leaving him free to move on. Fellow seniors have been speaking to him advising against taking on this new babe on grounds that it has divinely been revealed to them that she isn’t well-intentioned beyond just having her eye on Mulinde’s vast estate that is worth several billions of shillings. They assert that Mulinde won’t find lasting peace at all should he insist on taking on this latest catch of his as official wife.
Some have gone as far as predicting that the resultant trauma and stress will culminate into God’s general, that Mulinde has grown into, losing his own life enabling the new babe to wholly inherit his estate. Some have even disputed the new babe’s spiritualty and devotion to Mulinde’s brand of Christianity. That she doesn’t sufficiently profess the risen Christ that Mulinde professes and believes died for him on the cross.
The senior Pentecostal pastors have even considered involving some members of the born again faith or movement in the high political places in the hope that their intervention can potentially convince Mulinde to forget about the young woman and let go of the whole thing.
Some are fearful that getting hooked to that young lady might see Apostle Mulinde end up in marital woes similar to what befell Pastor Isaac Kiwewesi or even worse a few years into his marriage with Sasha, the young Kampala corporate he famously took up for a wife more than 20 years ago only to end up regretting and diminishing his brand as a revered man of God.
