Infamous Marteen Ssempa Calls Jesus a Witch!

Emmanuel: 2 1-35 WWJDV

2 Mary pleaded with the men of Wakandah saying, “I forbid that you should break into the house and harm my guests for I have taken them in to protect them. ²But soon, the door succumbed to the weight of the angry mob, and the prince dashed into Kiyemba’s arms for protection.

³Mary entreated the men from the depth of her soul saying, “Please I beg you, do not do any vile thing.”  ⁴But the men of Wakandah pushed her away, shoved the inseparable lads out of the house, forced them on the ground and flogged them with all the strength in their arms.

⁵Death courted the souls of the lads and their woeful cry echoed in the valleys of the hills. ⁶Suddenly, a strong voice cried out, “Why do you do this to my body?” ⁷Bahati and his men were surprised to hear the voice so they stopped and looked at each other in shock, because they did not see who said the words.

⁸So Bahati shouted to his men, “By order of King Mwanda, we have to beat the demons out of these swine who bring shame to our nation because they lie with each other!” ⁹So he commanded them to resume the flogging. ¹⁰But a man with a thick flowing beard had suddenly thrust himself to protect the lads before Bahati issued the order, so that the whips landed against his small body instead. ¹¹Strangely, every club that struck him broke into two and the flogger’s hand became limp.

¹²Among the crowd that had gathered because of the woeful cry of the lads, was a man called Christopher. He saw the strange thing that happened. ¹³When he looked keenly at the lads’ protector, he saw that there were holes in the palms of both his hands and in his feet.

¹⁴The protective man said, “I ask again, why do you do this to my body?” ¹⁵Bahati scoffed and retorted, “Who are you to come in the way of the mighty king’s men?” ¹⁶And the man replied, “Who do you think it is that speaks to you?”

¹⁷Bahati replied, “You are the devil. It is a law in the holy book that a man shall not lie with another man; the way of these pigs is not the way of the men of Wakandah”. ¹⁸His mob spat on the man and the lads, and shouted, “God forbid that we shall let these perverts breathe the air we breathe”.

¹⁹Then the protective man spoke and everyone that was at the scene heard, “Oh you wicked men, have you not read in that book that what God has put together let no man set apart?!” ²⁰Ssempa retorted, “You witch, that law holds it for a man joined to a woman.”

²¹Then the man asked, “Even a shepherd does not know? Is it not written by Samuel in that book that the souls of David and Jonathan were married into one by the Lord? Do you not read also that Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself, and Jonathan loved him back as himself?

²²Ssempa was enraged by his questions and he shouted back, “You are very immoral! A man can only find passionate love in women!”

²³The man replied, “Are you a shepherd? Is it not found in that holy book that David lamented at the funeral that Jonathan’s love to him was more wonderful, surpassing that of women? Are you suggesting that David was an immoral man?” ²⁴Because the men of Wakandah did not respond, he continued, “Therefore, I say unto you again, the hearts my father has bound together, let no man set apart.

  

²⁵Christopher did not doubt anymore; he pulled on Ssemmpa’s robes and whispered in his ears, “I see the Lord! This is the Lord!” ²⁶But Ssempa was vexed to hear this and he pushed him away; then he turned to the man and asked, “Who are you to say such blasphemy?”

²⁷The man got up and told the lads to get on their feet too; but they failed. So he knelt and touched Prince Semugoma’s knees, and when he asked him to get on his feet, the prince did not need any support. And it was the same for Kiyemba.

²⁸Christopher was awe-struck. The man he saw was Jesus drew the prince into his arms and kissed him on the forehead and said, “Be blessed my son”.  ²⁹Then he made a mark where he kissed. He repeated this for the other lad and both their lives were fully restored.

³⁰Mary was enthralled and she ran to the trio and embraced them saying, “Oh, my John, thank you for saving their lives!” The man replied, “Glory to God, I experience holiness when I do what Jesus would do”. Then he said to the lads, “Come inside and I will give you clean robes”.

³¹Christopher heard when she called him John and he was confused. ³²Suddenly, he started a lamentation with his hands on his head:

“Woe unto us, I have seen the face of the Christ that died on the cross!

“Woe unto us, the savior has been in our midst!”

“Emmanuel! Emmanuel! Emanuel!”

³³The men of Wakandah were irritated by his lamentation and they walked away from him. They were very disappointed that the work of their hands had been undone and they feared for themselves when they returned to the callous king.

³⁴And so Christopher witnessed what had been revealed in the vision to John the Apostle that God would protect his people from the worst persecution and they would be marked on their foreheads for the Kingdom of God in heaven. ³⁵He also came to be called Emmanuel because of his lamentation.

King Orders Son’s Queer Lover to be Cast into Lion’s Den

Emmanuel: 1 1-31 WWJDV

1 In the Kingdom of Wakandah set on seven hills, the girls competed to catch the eye of King Ronald Mwanda’s handsome and only son, Prince Paulo Semugoma. ²But the prince’s eyes coldly floated past their prowling scheming eyes, and he did not invite any girl to his royal suite.

³They started to believe that it was water that flowed in his veins. ⁴Later, a gossip breezed in the hills that the prince engaged in abhorrent practices with Kiyemba, the palace page who liked to recite poetry. ⁵Soon it came to the callous king’s ear and his anger burnt fiercely against his son, and he waited for him to return from hunting.

⁶Mwanda scolded him at the entrance of the palace saying, “You perverted son of a shameful woman, what wicked spirit dwells in you to bring great scorn to my Kingdom?" ⁷So he ordered his guards to throw Kiyemba – who always accompanied the prince – into the lion’s den. ⁸But even before he completed his order, Kiyemba jumped off his horse and ran away faster than the arrows that were pelted at him. ⁹The sun had slept so he easily disappeared in the pitch darkness.

¹⁰A couple of days later, unaccompanied Semugoma finally found Kiyemba hiding in the valley of the hill on the south. ¹¹Kiyemba was hungry and weak, and had two large septic arrow wounds on his buttocks.

¹²Fearing for his own life, Kiyemba dismissed him and forbade him from returning lest the palace dogs track him to the hiding place. ¹³The prince was very distraught as he obeyed his page who was a couple of years older.

¹⁴The following day, when the sun had disappeared behind the hills, Semugoma fooled the palace guards and escaped from the palace with food and medicinal herbs and returned to him. ¹⁵Kiyemba implored the prince to return to the palace after he had fed him and treated him.

¹⁶But Semugoma swiped his finger across the earth then across his wet tongue and said, “By the God of Abraham, the God of Jacob and all our grandfathers, I beseech you not to send me back to my father. ¹⁷From this moment on, where you are, there I will be, where you go, there I will go, where you die, there will I be buried. ¹⁸May the Lord do so to me, and worse, if anything but death should part you and me.” 

¹⁹Kiyemba saw the determination in his face and although he knew that the king must have set his dogs upon the hills already, his lips were sealed. ²⁰There was no safe home in Wakandah where they could go to.

²¹That evening, they set out towards the city where the great Nile river poured out of the ground. ²²But their tribulation was great because Kiyemba was frail, so when they came to the square on the outskirts of Wakandah Kingdom, they lay there for the night.

²³On her way home, a village woman saw the young men who lay on the benches of the square, and they were shivering. ²⁴She asked them, “What brings you to suffer the demons of the night?” 

²⁵There was compassion in her voice so Kiyemba said, “The Prince and I are looking for a place to stay where the king’s men will not find us. ²⁶Prince Semugoma left the palace and has vowed to be with me till death do we part and, by God, it is well with my soul”.

²⁷There was silence and, after several heartbeats, the woman said, “Peace be to you children of God; my husband and I are only a few days old in this land but God forbid that he should reject you to sleep under our roof tonight. ²⁸If that should happen, may my hands grow so short that I, Mary, will not be able to scratch my back”. ²⁹And so she led them to her home, and they washed and ate.

³⁰As they lay down their heads to sleep – before her husband returned, all the men of the kingdom, both young and old, came from all over the hills and surrounded the house. ³¹They were guided by dogs and commanded by Daudi Bahati and the infamous Marteen Ssempa; and they pounded on the door shouting, “Open the door or we shall force ourselves in”.
