In love, all sins can be forgiven
<b>DR LOVE</b><br>Pastor David Kiganda has forgiven his wife Hadijja Nassejje over adultery allegations. Halleluiah!
Pastor David Kiganda has forgiven his wife Hadijja Nassejje over adultery allegations. Halleluiah!
The change of heart was snatched from the jaws of divorce after a soccer battle of Biblical verses that reminded me of the Niger-Cranes match in Niger last Sunday.
The Niger team was captained by Judges 19 (cut the adulterous woman into 12 parts) and Matthew 19:9 (divorce the adulterous woman), which vehemently poured venom on Hadijja’s hope. The Cranes were led by Mk 11:26 (forgive or I will never forgive you) and Mt 18:32-35 (Did I not forgive you your debts?), which still saw some hope in the road to the finals in Egypt. The press was the Senegalese ref who openly made it difficult for the Cranes to win and Kiganda to forgive.
By the final whistle, the Cranes won an away point, Kiganda forgave his wife and a triumph for love was recorded. Kiganda and Nassejje still have to undergo three months of fasting purification to get back the touch of love, trust and relationship.
And as I always say, in love, there is no sin that cannot be forgiven. Any person grappling with the divorce referendum must first consider the implications of starting a new life. New lover means new bonding, readjustments, new relatives, other children, not forgetting the ghosts of the past relationship, possibility of uncomfortable children, ex-inlaws etc.
After a certain time, married people have adjusted to each other, invested together, share common friends, have a social position, family vision and common family responsibilities, especially children. To break all these because of a human error is not as simple as declaring MUBS independent.
Anger is like fire. It may rage and spread destruction, expose bedroom secrets to the press and leave despair and helplessness in its wake. But, like fire, it eventually calms down to cold ashes only to discover that it has not burnt everything. Love can withstand destruction and anger.
Kiganda’s decision must be supported, hailed and copied. Selfless love involves looking beyond what you have suffered as an individual to the common good of all who matter in your life.
And as you go about your reconciliation, pastor, it is important that you forget the past. It is not good for lovers to keep referring each other to the past sins. The forgiven must also appreciate by total reformation and believe me, from the threat of death, you can make a dazzling resurrection.
And for the rest who have read this far, think twice before parading your family affairs at Kololo Airstrip. You may end up forgiving each other and regretting why you washed your dirty linen in public.
Why am I feeling like a preacher today? It must be the Holy Spirit.
Ends
