Paying for Prophecy Amounts to Sorcery, Declares Prophet Michael Kiganda

Michael Kiganda, who heads Glory to Glory Ministries at Theatre Labonita in Kampala, distinguishes himself as a prophet rather than a pastor. In an interview with Gabriel Buule, he revealed why his main gatherings occur on Thursdays, citing fewer distractions in busy Kampala compared to weekends.

Kiganda emphasized that true prophets hear directly from God to deliver messages for individuals, communities, or nations. He refuted claims that prophecy ended with John the Baptist, pointing to Ephesians 4:11, which lists prophetic offices for equipping believers until unity in faith is achieved.

Addressing criticism over his football-related prophecies, which often go viral on social media, Kiganda argued that God cares about all life aspects, including sports. These predictions draw in non-churchgoers and do not promote gambling, he clarified.

On political silence among prophets, Kiganda noted he has issued warnings on Uganda’s diseases, economy, and politics, always with a redemptive focus. He attributed others’ quietness to fear or differing callings.

Kiganda firmly rejected charging for prophecies or prayers, calling it sorcery and exploitation. He supports biblical giving principles for ministry needs but stresses voluntary contributions without transactional expectations, drawing from scriptures like Malachi 3:10.

Born in 1984 in Busiro to a Catholic family, Kiganda described his early spiritual experiences and family as grounding forces. He aims for a legacy of truth-speaking and pointing people to Christ. To Ugandans, he urged hope, spiritual humility, and national healing amid challenges.
