The Bishop of the Diocese of Kigezi, Rt. Rev. Gaddie Akanjuna, has encouraged candidates to remain focused and use their time, thoughts, and actions wisely, saying what they do today will determine their future.

Bishop Akanjuna made the remarks yesterday during the confirmation of 34 Christians who were confirmed into the Anglican faith and the dedication of candidates at Kabale Brainstorm High School held in the school’s main hall in Southern Division, Kabale Municipality.

Bishop Akanjuna emphasized the need for candidates to work hard and make sacrifices today so that they can enjoy the benefits tomorrow. He urged them to make good use of their limited time by dedicating themselves to their studies, reading meaningful books, and engaging in constructive discussions. He said many people who are enjoying a good life today and can afford their basic needs are reaping the benefits of sacrifices they made in the past.

Bishop Akanjuna also urged the confirmands to represent God in their daily lives, saying they have become new people and should allow themselves to be guided by the Holy Spirit. He encouraged them to continue fighting against evil and resisting Satan while calling upon Jesus Christ to be their defender.

Meanwhile, the Dean of Students at Bishop Barham University, Rev. Peter Robertson Agaba, while preaching, urged the candidates to trust in God and surrender themselves fully to His power and guidance.

Rev. Agaba acknowledged that it can be difficult for some candidates to surrender their worries and challenges to God but encouraged them to entrust everything to Jesus Christ. He said candidates who want to succeed in their examinations should surrender themselves to God, adding that dedicating their time and concerns to Him will allow Him to take charge of their needs and requests.
