Okweyongera kw'Okukkiriza

OKWEYONGERA KW'OKUKKIRIZA

TUYINZA TUTYA OKUFUNA okweyongera kw'okukkiriza? Kino kibuuzo eky'amaanyi eri bangi. Bagamba nti baagala okukkiriza, naye tebasobola. Waliwo ebigambo bingi ebitaliimu makulu ebyogerwa ku nsonga eno. Ka tubeere ab'amagezi amakkalu mu ngeri gye tugigyamu. Amagezi amakkalu geetaagisa mu ddiini nga bwe geetaagisa mu buli kifo ekirala. "Nkole ki ndyoke nkkirize?" Omuntu eyabuuzibwa engeri esinga obulungi ey'okukola ekintu ekimu ekyangu, yaddamu nti engeri esinga obulungi okukikola kwe kukikola mangwago. Tufiirwa obudde nga tuwakana ku ngeri z'okukola nga ekikolwa kyennyini kyangu. Ekkubo erisinga obumpi ery'okukkiriza kwe kukkiriza. Omwoyo Omutukuvu bw'akufudde ow'amazima, ojja kukkiriza amangu ddala nga amazima gakuteekeddwa mu maaso. Ojja kugakkiriza kubanga ga mazima. Ekiragiro ky'enjiri kitegeerekeka bulungi; "Kkiriza Mukama Yesu Kristo, naawe olirokolebwa." Tekigasa kwewala kino n'ebibuuzo n'okuwakanya. Ekiragiro kya lwatu; ka kigonderwe.

Naye ate, bw'oba n'obuzibu, kitwale mu maaso ga Katonda mu kusaba. Tegeeza Kitaawe omukulu ekituufu ekikutabula, era omwegayirire ku bw'Omwoyo we Omutukuvu okugonjoola ekibuuzo. Bwe ssobola kukkiriza kigambo ekiri mu kitabo, nsanyuka okubuuza omuwandiisi ky'ategeeza nakyo; era bw'aba muntu wa mazima, okunnyonnyola kwe kunnematiza; okusinga nnyo, okunnyonnyola kwa Katonda ku bifo ebizibu eby'Ebyawandiikibwa kuliisiza omutima gw'oyo anoonya n'amazima. Mukama ayagala okwemanyisa; genda gy'ali olabe oba si bwe kiri. Yingira mangu mu kasenge ko, okaabe nti, "Ayi Omwoyo Omutukuvu, nkulembere mu mazima! Kye simanyi, kinjigirize."

Ate era, okukkiriza bwe kulabika nga kuzibu, kiyinzika nti Katonda Omwoyo Omutukuvu anaakusobozesa okukkiriza bw'onoowuliranga emirundi mingi era n'omwoyo gwo gwonna ekyo ky'olagiddwa okukkiriza. Tukkiriza ebintu bingi kubanga tubiwulidde emirundi mingi. Tokiraba mu bulamu obwa bulijjo, nti bw'owulira ekintu emirundi ataano mu lunaku, oluvannyuma osituka n'okikkiriza? Abantu abamu batuuse okukkiriza ebigambo ebitali bya kusuubirwa n'olw'engeri eno, kyenva sewuunya nti Omwoyo omulungi bulijjo awa omukisa engeri ey'okuwulira amazima emirundi mingi, era agikozesa okukola okukkiriza ku ekyo ekiteekwa okukkirizibwa. Kyawandiikibwa nti, "Okukkiriza kuva mu kuwulira"; kale wuliranga emirundi mingi. Bwe mpuliriza enjiri n'obwegendereza n'omwoyo gwange gwonna, olumu ku nnaku zino nzija kwezuula nga nkkiriza kye mpulira, olw'omulimu omulungi ogw'Omwoyo wa Katonda mu birowoozo byange. Kyokka weegendereze owulire enjiri, era tosaasaanya birowoozo byo n'okuwulira oba okusoma ekyo ekyakolebwa okukunyeenyeza mu kukkiriza.

Naye, ekyo bwe kirabika ng'okubuulirira okutali kwa maanyi, nnyongerako kino, lowooza ku bujulirwa bw'abalala. Abasamaliya baakkiriza olw'ekyo omukazi kye yababuulira ku Yesu. Ebintu bingi bye tukkiriza biva mu bujulirwa bw'abalala. Nkkiriza nti waliwo ensi eyitibwa Japani; sigirabangako, naye nkkiriza nti ekifo ekyo kiriwo kubanga abalala baagendayo. Nkkiriza nti nzija kufa; sifangako, naye bangi nnyo be nnali mmanyi baafa, kyenva nkakasa nti nange nzija kufa. Obujulirwa bw'abangi bunkakasa ekituufu ekyo. Kale, wuliriza abo abakubuulira engeri gye baalokolerwamu, engeri gye baasonyiyibwamu, engeri empisa zaabwe gye zaakyusibwamu. Bw'onoonoonya ensonga eno ojja kuzuula nti waliwo omuntu ali nga ggwe eyalokolebwa. Bw'oba nga wali mubbi, ojja kuzuula nti omubbi yasanyuka okunaaza ekibi kye mu nzizi y'omusaayi gwa Kristo. Bw'oba, mu bunaku, nga wali mwenzi, ojja kuzuula nti abasajja n'abakazi abaagwa mu kkubo eryo baanaazibwa ne bakyusibwa. Bw'oba mu kunakuwala, weetaaga kwegatta ku bantu ba Katonda, obuuze katono, ojja kuvumbula nti abamu ku batukuvu nabo baali mu kunakuwala okwenkanako ebiseera ebimu, era bajja kusanyuka okukubuulira engeri Mukama gye yabawonyaamu. Bw'onoowuliriza omu ku omu ku abo abagezesezza ekigambo kya Katonda, ne bakikakasa, Omwoyo wa Katonda ajja kukuluŋŋamya okukkiriza. Towuliranga ku Muwafirika eyategeezebwa omuweereza wa Katonda nti amazzi oluusi gakaluba nnyo omuntu n'ayinza okugatambulirako? Yagamba nti yakkiriza ebintu bingi omuweereza bye yamubuulira; naye ekyo teyandikikkirizza n'akatono. Bwe yajja mu Bungereza, lwali lunaku olw'obutiti n'alaba omugga nga gukutte, naye teyagenda kugutambulirako. Yamanya nti gwali mugga muwanvu, era yakakasa nti yandizikiridde bwe yandigenzeko. Teyayinza kusendebwa kutambula ku mazzi agakutte okutuusa mikwano gye n'abalala bangi bwe baagatambulirako; olwo n'akkirizibwa, ne yeesiga awo abalala we baali batambulidde awatali kabi. Bw'otyo, bw'onoolaba abalala nga bakkiriza Omwana gw'Endiga ogwa Katonda, n'olaba essanyu n'emirembe byabwe, naawe ojja kutwalibwa mpola mpola okukkiriza. Obumanyirivu bw'abalala y'emu ku ngeri za Katonda ez'okutuyamba okukkiriza. Oteekwa oba okukkiriza Yesu oba okufa; tewali ssuubi lirala eri ggwe wabula mu ye.

Enteekateeka esinga obulungi y'eno--tegeera obuyinza obw'olagirwako okukkiriza, era kino kijja kukuyamba nnyo eri okukkiriza. Obuyinza si bwange, kubanga wandisobodde okubugaana. Naye olagirwa okukkiriza ku buyinza bwa Katonda yennyini. Akulagira okukkiriza Yesu Kristo, era toteekwa kugaana kugondera Omutonzi wo. Omukulu w'abakozi ab'ekkolero erimu yali awulidde enjiri emirundi mingi, naye yali atawaanyizibwa okutya nti ayinza obutajja eri Kristo. Mukama we omulungi lumu n'aweereza kaadi mu kkolero--"Jjangu mu nnyumba yange amangu ddala ng'omulimu guweddeko." Omukulu w'abakozi n'ajja ku luggi lwa mukama we, mukama we n'afuluma, n'ayogera n'obukambwe obutono, "Oyagala ki, Yokaana, okuntawaanya mu kiseera kino? Omulimu guweddeko, olina buyinza ki okuba wano?" "Ssebo," n'addamu, "nnafunye kaadi okuva gy'oli nga egamba nti njije ng'omulimu guweddeko." "Otegeeza nti olwokubanga ofunye kaadi okuva gy'ndi noolwekyo osaana okwambuka mu nnyumba yange n'ompita ebiseera by'emirimu nga biweddeko?" "Kale, Ssebo," omukulu w'abakozi n'addamu, "sikutegeera, naye kirabika gye ndi nti, olwokubanga wantumidde, nnalina obuyinza okujja." "Yingira, Yokaana," mukama we n'agamba, "nnina obubaka obulala bwe njagala okukusomera," n'atuula n'asoma ebigambo bino: "Mujje gye ndi mmwe mwenna abakooye era abazitoowereddwa, nange nnaabawummuza." "Olowooza nti oluvannyuma lw'obubaka nga buno okuva eri Kristo oyinza okuba nga okyamye okujja gy'ali?" Omuntu omunaku n'akiraba amangu ddala, n'akkiriza Mukama Yesu okutuuka ku bulamu obutaggwaawo, kubanga yategeera nti yalina obuyinza obulungi n'obukakafu okukkiriza. Naawe bw'otyo, ggwe omwoyo omunaku! Olina obuyinza obulungi okujja eri Kristo, kubanga Mukama yennyini akulagira okumwesiga.

Ekyo bwe kitakuzaaliramu kukkiriza, lowooza ku ekyo ky'oteekwa okukkiriza--nti Mukama Yesu Kristo yabonaabona mu kifo ky'aboonoonyi era ku lwabwe, era asobola okulokola bonna abamwesiga. Lwaki, kino kye kituufu ekisinga omukisa abantu kye baali balagiddwa okukkiriza; amazima agasinga okusaanira, agasinga okusanyusa, agasinga okuba aga Katonda agaali gateekeddwa mu maaso g'ebirowoozo by'abantu abafa. Nkuwa amagezi okugalowoozaako nnyo, era onoonye ekisa n'okwagala ebigirimu. Yiga ku Bawandiisi b'Enjiri abana, yiga ku bbaluwa za Pawulo, olyoke olabe oba obubaka si bwa kukkirizibwa nnyo n'olyoka oleeteddwa okubukkiriza.

Ekyo bwe kitakola, kale lowooza ku muntu wa Yesu Kristo--lowooza ku oyo gw'ali, ne kye yakola, ne w'ali, ne ky'ali. Oyinza otya okumubuusabuusa? Bukambwe okutaresiga Yesu ow'amazima ennaku zonna. Talina kye yakola okusaanira okubuusibwabuusibwa; wabula, kyandibadde kyangu okumwesiga. Lwaki omukomerera ku musaalaba nate olw'obutakkiriza? Kino si kwe kumutikkira engule ey'amaggwa nate, n'okumuwandira amalusu nate? Ki! ye tasaana kwesigwa? Kuvvoola ki okusinga kuno abaserikale kwe baamufukako? Baamufuula omujulirwa eyattibwa; naye ggwe omufuula omulimba--kino kibi nnyo okusingako. Tobuuza nti nnyinza ntya okukkiriza? Naye ddamu ekibuuzo ekirala--Oyinza otya obutakkiriza?

Ebintu bino bwe bitaakuyambe n'ekimu, kale waliwo ekitali kituufu ku ggwe kyonna, era ekigambo kyange eky'enkomerero kwe kuno, weewaayo eri Katonda! Okusosola oba amalala ge gasibuka obutakkiriza buno. Omwoyo wa Katonda aggyewo obulabe bwo akufuule omuwulire. Oli mujeemu, omujeemu ow'amalala, era kyova totakkiriza Katonda wo. Leka obujeemu bwo; suula ebyokulwanyisa byo; weewaayo awatali kwewozaawoza, weewaayo eri Kabaka wo. Nzikiriza nti tewali mwoyo gwali guyimusizza emikono gyagwo mu kwekiluma, ne gukaaba nti, "Mukama, neewaddeyo," naye okukkiriza ne kutagufuukira kyangu oluvannyuma lwa bbanga ttono. Kiva ku olwokubanga okyalina oluyombo ne Katonda, era osalawo okukola by'oyagala n'engeri yo ggwe, noolwekyo toyinza kukkiriza. "Muyinza mutya okukkiriza," Kristo bwe yagamba, "mmwe abaweebwa ekitiibwa buli omu okuva ku munne?" Amalala ag'obwewulize gazaala obutakkiriza. Weewaayo, ai omuntu. Weewaayo eri Katonda wo, olwo n'olyoka okkiriza Omulokozi wo mu ngeri ennungi. Omwoyo Omutukuvu kaakano akolere naawe mu kyama naye n'amaanyi, akuleete mu kaseera kano kennyini okukkiriza Mukama Yesu! Amiina.
