Phaneroo Ministries International has called on young men and women to seek God and embrace a God-fearing life as a foundation for overcoming the challenges they face.
This call was made by the proprietor and vision bearer of Phaneroo Ministries International, Apostle Grace Lubega, during the annual Global Inter-University Conference held on Saturday the 15th at the Phaneroo Grounds in Naguru, Kampala.
The event attracted a large gathering of students and young professionals from universities and other higher learning institutions within and outside Uganda. The conference aims to inspire the current generation by igniting passion, awakening purpose, and establishing God’s divine will on earth. Its broader mission is to restore divine order and impart spiritual anointing that empowers young people to discover and pursue their God-given potential.
In his sermon, Apostle Lubega emphasized the importance of such gatherings for university students, recent graduates, and young professionals, noting that they play a key role in shaping faith and clarifying one’s purpose.
He explained that the Bible’s teaching on “fearing the Lord” does not refer to a fear of punishment but to a reverent awe that leads to wisdom, obedience, and a desire to honor God. It reflects a deep respect for God’s greatness, power, and holiness—an attitude that compels believers to reject evil and live upright lives.
Key scriptural principles include:
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).
It is a choice to turn away from evil (Proverbs 8:13).
It brings life, fulfillment, and security.
The conference was also graced by notable international pastors, including Pastor Poju Oyemade, Pastor James Cowan, and Apostle Grace Lubega himself.
Peter Turyasingura, Team Leader of Manifest Fellowship, highlighted the significant impact of the Global Inter-University Conference on young people, noting that it sensitizes them to the importance and relevance of living a God-fearing life.
He pointed out several key benefits of the gathering:
Moral Guidance: The conference provides an avenue for discussing moral values and principles that shape the character and decisions of young people.
Spiritual Growth: Through teachings on faith and spirituality, participants gain a deeper understanding of their purpose and identity.
Character Development: The emphasis on living a God-fearing life helps cultivate virtues such as honesty, empathy, and integrity.
Community Building: Bringing together youth from diverse backgrounds fosters unity, shared values, and positive relationships.
Positive Influence: Highlighting the blessings of a God-centered life encourages young people to make wise choices and pursue meaningful, purposeful living.
Overall, the Phaneroo Global Inter-University Conference plays a transformative role in shaping the spiritual, moral, and personal development of young people—empowering them to become responsible, impactful, and compassionate leaders within their communities.
