book excerpt

It took me 53 years to receive salvation, 30 of which involved serious searching for the truth and fulfi llment. I read the entire Bible twice and abandoned it on the third round, after realizing that I was wasting my time on Jewish legendary or mythological stories about their ‘unscientifi c’ God and salvation. But the search had exposed me to the Gospel, marketed by many capable agents, especially, Esther Kafuniza and Foibe Biteete [Rugumayo] whom I greatly appreciate. Before and after them, were many others whom I also appreciate. Although the concept of God and the promissory notes of the salvation gospel, somewhat, appealed to me, I needed scientifi c evidence which no religious Institution or literature provided. The more I searched for happiness, fulfi llment, enlightenment, professional empowerment, peace and security, the greater became the void in me, fear, anxiety, restlessness, blind ambitions and competitive spirit that intensifi ed – almost plunging me into indescribable confusion. Meanwhile, the insistent, persistent and constant voices of Esther and Foibe gently pounded me-reminding me about God, salvation or the hell option and all its eternal consequences. The Hour of Reckning by Robert K. Rutaagi When all failed and yet the clock of life was ticking on and on and, after realizing that I may die anytime, I consciously decided to pray to this ‘unscientifi c’ God to give me His ‘unscientifi c’ salvation if only to escape the probability of the eternal fi re in the lake of fi re. The Hour of Reckoning came on Tuesday, the 06 of July, 1999, at 6:43pm, while alone, in my Offi ce, on Jinja Road, Kampala- plot 17/19 [then, Uganda Export Promotion Board and, now, NEMA House], when the LORD of the Universe, Himself, revealed Himself to me and supernaturally spoke to me and gave me the salvation that had eluded me for many years.
