Imam Finds Jesus, Loses Family, House, And Livelihood. by Medicis(m): 3:06pm On Jul 28, 2016
An evil spirit tormented Imam Kuluseni
Tenywa for many years. Out of
desperation, he visited Elim Church in
his village in late May 2016.
“I was prayed for in the power of Issa
[Jesus] and invited him into my heart,
which broke the strength of the evil
spirit that was troubling me,” he told
Morning Star News.
The strong man would not leave him
without a fight, however. “I remember
my vision got blurred and I felt faint.
The pastor authoritatively, using some
commanding words in Issa’s name,
finally delivered me.”
When the story of Tenywa’s conversion
reached his family and other relatives,
they were infuriated and told him he
must return to Islam. How could he leave
the religion of his clan? they asked.
“I can not deny what Jesus has done for
me,” he replied.
The harassment of the former imam
began to build, even from his own wife,
Fatiyah, and his children. “Fatiyah
started provoking me. My wife even
refused to give me food and began
calling me an infidel,” he told Morning
Star.
Family members so opposed his
newfound faith they had tried to cast
spells on him, he told Morning Star.
Tenywa began to regularly attend Elim
Church Budhagali, which further
enraged his family. On June 6 they
damaged his red pepper plantation and
store and forcibly prevented him from
cultivating his portion of land.
The former imam registered a complaint
with the authorities, who intervened
without effect.
Then he overheard his relatives plotting
to kill him, led by his brother-in-law.
They gathered outside Tenywa’s house
one night, with murderous intent. “I
heard people talking outside my house
around 8 p.m., saying that they wanted
to take away my life.
He overheard them say, “We cannot
watch the whole family turning to
Christianity.”
Tenywa escaped through a back door.
“I had to flee that night, leaving my
entire family behind,” said the 53-year-
old father of four children.
Now he sits alone in a small shanty in
eastern Uganda after losing everything –
all because he left Islam for Christianity.
Tenywa has no work, no meals and no
wife and children. “The family even
tried to bewitch me,” he said. “But God
protected me.”
About 85 percent of the people in
Uganda are Christian and 11 percent
Muslim, with some eastern areas having
large Muslim populations. The country’s
constitution and other laws provide for
religious freedom, including the right to
propagate one’s faith and convert from
one faith to another, but Christians in
eastern Uganda are suffering continual
attacks by non-state figures. http://blog.godreports.com/2016/07/imam-finds-jesus-loses-family-house-and-livelihood/.
