Pasitoro John Harper mwite Yohana, byashoboka ko ari ubwa mbere wumvise uyu mushumba! Yewe byashoboka ko ahubwo waba umuzi cyane kundusha! Ibyamubayeho bamwe bashobora kubyita kwiyahura ariko nyamara urupfu rw’umukiranutsi ni ifumbire y’ivugabutumwa!
John Harper yavutse kuwa 29 Gicurasi 1872, avukira mu cyaro cyitwa Husitoni (Houston) muri Scotland. Ku myaka 14 yizeye Yesu Kristo abikomoye ku kwizera kw’ababyeyi be (2 Timoteyo 1:5)! Ku myaka 18 yatangiye kubwiriza ubutumwa bwiza akabifatanya n’imirimo y’amaboko kugirango yikenure (Ibyakozwe n’intumwa 20:34).
Mu 1897, ku myaka 25 yabaye umushumba mu itorero ry’ababatisita. Igihe yabaga umushumba mu gihe gito yakujije itorero mu mibare riva ku bantu 25 rigera kubarenga 500.
Muri 1912, ku myaka 39, John Harper n’umwana we w’umukobwa witwaga Annie Jessie waruzwi ku kazina ka Nana bari mubafashe urugendo rwa mbere mu bwato bwamenyekanye nka Titanic ndetse bugahabwa akazina ka Unsinkable boat (ubwato budashobora kuruhoma) kubera ikizere bari babufitiye.
Ntakindi cyavanye John Harper mu bwongereza akerekeza mu mujyi wa chicago ho muri Leta zunze ubumwe z’amerika keretse kuvuga ubutumwa bwiza bwa Yesu.
Ariko urugendo yateguye rw’ivugabutumwa ntago yabashije kurugeraho ahubwo ubutumwa yabuvugiye mu bwato ubwo bwagongaga urubura runini rwo nyanja! Mbere yuko nkomeza, reka mbanze mvuge ku butunzi yari yatanze. Ubwo abandi buriraga ubwato bajya gushimisha imibiri yabo ndetse banaryoshya, John Harper we yabwuriye afite intego yo kujya kubwiriza ubutumwa bwiza gusa! Nifashishije urubuga rwa Measuring Worth – Historical Currency Calculator rugaragaza ko amatike y’ubwato bwa Titanike yarari mu byiciro bitatu. Amateka agaragaza ko John Harper yari mu cyiciro cya kabiri (Second Class Passenger). Itike yaguraga 60$ (79,153.50 Frw) ubu ashobora ku ngana na 1,400$ (1,846,915 Frw).
Ese ninde muri mwe, nako muri twe uri gusoma ino nkuru wasabwa amafaranga akemera kuyatanga ngo ashyigikire ivugabutumwa?
Byashoboka ko uhise wibuka ko bijya bikugora gutanga amafaranga y’urugendo mu itsinda ry’abaririmbyi ubamo ngo mujye mu ivugabutumwa ariko John Harper yari yarasobanukiwe ko intego ye atari ugukorera amafaranga menshi ahubwo amafaranga ari amufasha kugera ku ntego!
Ubwo ubwato bwa Titanic bwatangiraga kurohama, John Harper yateye hejuru aravuga ati: “ABANA, ABAGORE, N’ABATARIZERA YESU NIBO BAGOMBA KUJYA MU BWATO BW’UBUTABAZI MBERE” We yahisemo kwigumira mu bwato (Ababyumva bamufata nk’uwiyahuye). Ubwato bw’ubufasha bumaze kurangira, Harper yatangiye kubwiriza ubutumwa bwiza abari mu bwato asoma Ibyakozwe n’Intumwa 16:31, ababwira ko nibihana ibyaha byabo, bakizera umwami Yesu barakiza ubugingo bwabo kandi ko hari ubundi buzima nyuma y’ubu buzima.
Harper ubwo yabonaga ko ubwato bukomeje kurengerwa n’amazi, we ubwe yafashe umwambaro utuma abantu batarohama awuha umwe mubari banze kumva ubutumwa bwiza yigishaga, kuko yizeraga ko uwo narokoka nibura azumva ubutumwa bwiza ahandi agakizwa! Mbega umugabo utangaje!!! Yewe navuga ko yujuje ibyanditswe byera Pawulo yavuze ko yakemera gutanga ubugingo bwe kugirango ubutumwa bwiza bugere hose (Abafilipi 2:17).
Umusozo n’amasomo
