#The Untold Stories of The Transformed Lives
My name is Kisakye Barry. I’m a member of the Miracle Centre Cathedral of Rubaga and my Pastors are Pr. Robert & Jessica Kayanja. I came to Miracle Centre Cathedral almost losing my mind 20 years ago. I had one pair of shoes and I used to borrow clothes.
A friend invited me to the Miracle Bible College Graduation party. I never knew that whoever ate that food would become a student the following year. So, I joined the Miracle Bible College. My parents resented me because I had failed Campus and wasted the tuition for 3 years. I used to spend the afternoons after classes reading books in the library, then wait to attend the evening classes and go home late. I never had money to pay for my tuition at the Bible College, and hence I had to work in order to pay for my studies.
During that time, the MBC Administrator, Pr. Joy Mawalo advised me to win souls in the afternoons: preaching the gospel to people is part of deliverance because the word of God will set you free and talking to people will restore your self esteem. I used to preach to drug addicts in Bakuli and Kisenyi. Then the Holy Spirit led me to Campus Hostels at Makerere and Kampala International University. I used to win souls among university students and yet I was a drop out.
At the time Pr. Robert Kayanja was falsely accused of sodomising young men. We were recruited to be in the intercession team at the church lounge. I have never experienced such a grace of prayer. We would report to the church lounge at 8am. Clean it up, start praise and worship, share the word and start praying. PASTOR would share the word at lunch time and lead us into prayer. At 4:30pm we would have a break and continue praying from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. We prayed like this for 7 months.
During that time, my Parents made up their minds to take me back to school. I spent 4 years at African Bible University and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Community leadership with Education.
Prayer is not easy, but it pays off well. I found a good job and eventually started a business. I also ended up teaching at the Miracle Bible College.
And this is how I found a good wife. Pastor used to say, your wife is within your rib. Hold your right side and pray in tongues. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your wife. I held my right side and prayed in tongues for many months. Wrong girls came and went. I started dating girls outside church and discovered that they were worse. I believe our future wives are around us. They are in church. It is just that our spiritual eyes are closed. Just like Prophet Elijah prayed for his servant saying, “Open his eyes that he may see”(2Kings 6:17): May God open the spiritual eyes of the single men.
My wife was at church. She also used to think that all Miracle Centre men were playboys until a Pastor’s wife told her in a dream, “Your husband is at church.”
I asked her out to a date, and she accepted. We grew to like each other. When I invited her to family parties, my Parents and siblings liked her. She told me she was going to a wedding launch. A workmate encouraged me to buy a ring and surprise her. I dressed up smartly went to town and bought a ring. I rushed to the wedding launch and requested the bride and Master of Ceremony to set me up. They agreed. I went to town and waited. At 8pm the bride gave me a call to appear. When I walked in, the M.C introduced me and gave me a microphone. I greeted everyone and walked to her, knelt, and took out the ring and proposed. She was shocked but said YES.
My parents were happy. We had a success kukyala. My wife and l took a financial seed to Pastor Robert and Jessica Kayanja. They prayed blessings over us. We had a successful wedding and had enough money left to have a wonderful honeymoon. God has been good to us. We have 2 children. Am so glad to be part of the Miracle Centre family and may the Lord bless our pastors, Robert & Jessica Kayanja.
