Science is often fronted as the ideal approach to interpret and understand world events. But it is no secret, especially in the recent years, that acclaimed global scientists have been wrong on a number of occasions earning more distrust from the populace.
Recently, AstraZeneca recalled its Covid-19 vaccine worldwide, months after admitting in the UK court about its potential blood clot side effect. In response many scientists have taken to their keyboards to defend their profession. But science is a process of learning and discovery, and sometimes what we thought was right could be wrong.
Customarily, government regulatory agencies have also relied on expert opinions when there is insufficient empirical evidence to judge the safety implications of a course of action. They seem to have forgotten or ignored the ancient secret of utilizing divine supernatural phenomena when navigating complex terrains. Similar attempts have historically been made, albeit absent of Godly inspiration.
During the tense period of the Cold War, the U.S. government sought to deploy a potent new weapon against the Soviet Union: mind-reading. The CIA, Army and Defense Intelligence Agency recruited men and women claiming to have powers of extrasensory perception (ESP) to uncover intelligence secrets. This would eventually become known as Project Star Gate.
By the time the program was shut down in 1995, psychics known as “remote viewers” had taken part in a wide array of operations, from locating hostages kidnapped by Islamic terrorist groups to tracing fugitive criminals within the United States.
The roots of Project Star Gate date back to 1972, when a classified report made waves within the U.S. military and intelligence communities claiming that the Soviet Union was pouring money into research involving ESP and psychokinesis—the ability to move objects with the mind—for espionage purposes. The shutdown of the program that year did not mark the end of the government’s interest in psychic phenomena.
In 2014, the Office of Naval Research launched a four-year program (costing about $3.85M) to explore the use of premonition or intuition. Similarly, a few weeks after the 9/11 attacks, the British government under Tony Blair hatched a secret plan of engaging psychic powers to hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
One thing is apparent: there is an ever-growing search for alternate sources of truth where science and empirical evidence is limited. Thankfully, we have a reliable source of supernatural insight, which Uganda and the world over could very easily capitalize on.
Over the years, Prophet Elvis Mbonye has accurately and authentically traversed various power centres, revealing divine solutions to a rudderless world through his uncanny prophetic abilities. From matters of faith to politics, entertainment, security, business, finance, agriculture, trade, technology, education, healthcare, international relations; you are guaranteed to find functional and timely guidance wrapped up in prophecy.
Unfortunately, though, the governments have often snubbed his counsel, just like Pharaoh did to Moses, and prefer to explore dead-ends.
Currently Kenya finds itself in such a predicament, battling unprecedented floods and rising death tolls because it overlooked a prophetic warning revealed by Prophet Elvis on 24th October 2023, during his weekly prayer gathering.
Before thousands, he cautioned Kenya’s leaders against blindly pursuing the enactment of the Religious Organisations Bill, 2023 aimed at desecrating the freedom of worship in Kenya. He warned that the evil venture would expose the nation to unnatural weather occurrences if were not immediately reversed.
Three months later, news of catastrophic storms and floods in Kenya filled global headlines and continues to date. In classic Biblical Pharaoh stance, Kenya’s top leaders continue to ignore the prophetic warning that these torrential rains and the effects thereof are solely because of their hard-heartedness, contrary to the climate change claims or whatever other soothing justification they might want to cook up.
If the meteorologists could not forewarn the nation eight months ago when prophecy was given, why continue to solely rely on their questionable mitigation avenues at the expense of lives and livelihoods? It is also worth noting that whereas science or any other kind of forecasting is not bad in and of itself, its validity is dependent on constant readjustment to God-inspired revelation.
If Kenya’s dismaying experience is anything to go by, I hope the zealots advocating for the Religious and Faith Organisations policy in Uganda pick a lesson. They should quit attempting to dictate to the modern-day Israel on how sanctuary worship should be conducted. The assumption is that our leaders don’t want this nation to experience a version of the ‘Egyptian plagues’. It is clear that the benefits of adherence, or calamitous consequences of ignorance of a true prophetic voice are not subject to personal preference.
We do well to embrace ethereal means to get ahead as a nation.
