Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>South Ankole Diocese Bishop Rt Rev Nathan Ahimbisibwe has preached \u2018\u2019faith and reduction of doubt especially upon death of high profile people\u2019\u2019 adding that only God has prerogative over life and death.<\/p>\n

Preaching during the Easter Sunday service at St Mathew cathedral, Kyamate on April 4, Bishop Ahimbisibwe said many people remain doubtful on the causes of death of especially high-profile people in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod determines how we live, how we grow and how we die. A human being has 72 heart beats per minute. If they increase or just reduce, its disaster. No one determines how that happens. We must have faith. Whatever the status of a person, God can decide to take their soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only important thing is how we use our time when we have that soul that God provides.\u201d Bp Ahimbisibwe said.<\/p>\n

The comments followed his condolence message to the Roman Catholic Church after the demise of Kampala archdiocese- Archbishop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to send condolences to the Roman Catholic Church following the death of their shepherd His Grace Cyprian Kizito Lwanga. It\u2019s heart breaking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Several conspiracy theories were still emerging on the potential cause of the cleric\u2019s death with government asking masses to avoid spreading fake news.<\/p>\n

Using Biblical analogy of the first appearance of Jesus to the disciples upon his resurrection, Bp Ahimbisibwe said: \u201cEven after seeing the scars on Jesus\u2019 hands, some remained doubtful and such doubtfulness exists in the real world that only faith can erase it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He appealed to Christians to avoid condemnation but only wait for the will of God to prosper.<\/p>\n
