Engeri Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu Gye Kuyinza Okufunibwa

Essuula eno eraga ekkubo eryangu, erisinziira ku Baibuli, ery'okufuna okubatizibwa kw'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Bikolwa 2:38 lulaga amatendekero omusanvu amakulu: kyukira Kristo, ova ku kibi, mwatule mu lwatu, weewaayo ddala eri Katonda, mwegombe ddala Omwoyo we, saba mu kusaba, era kkiriza ekisuubizo kye. Bino bwe bituukirizibwa n'omutima ogutuufu, ekirabo kikakafu era kifunibwa kaakano.

Kaakano tutuuse ku kifo awali okuwulira okw'amaanyi nti tuteekwa okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ekibuuzo eky'omugaso kituzze mu maaso: tuyinza tutya okufuna okubatizibwa kuno n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, kwe twetaaga ennyo? Ekibuuzo kino nakyo kiddibwamu mu lwatu ennyo Ekigambo kya Katonda. Mu Baibuli kulagibwa ekkubo, eririmu amatendekero omusanvu amangu, buli ayagala g'ayinza okuyitamu, era buli ayita mu matendekero gano omusanvu, mu bukakafu obutasalako, aliyingira mu mukisa guno. Ekigambo kino kiyinza okulabika ng'eky'olwatu ennyo, naye Ekigambo kya Katonda kiri kya lwatu mu ngeri y'emu ku ekyo ekivaamu okuyita mu matendekero gano, kye kirunga.

Amatendekero gonna omusanvu geeyolekera oba galagirwa mu Bikolwa 2:38: "Mwenenye, mubatizibwe buli omu ku mmwe mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo olw'okusonyiyibwa ebibi byammwe. Nammwe mulifuna ekirabo ky'Omwoyo Omutukuvu..." Amatendekero amasooka asatu geeyolekera n'obulwatu obw'enjawulo mu lunyiriri luno. Amalala, agalagirwa mu lwatu mu lunyiriri, geeyolekera mu ngeri ennyonnyofu okuyita mu bifo ebirala bye tuligwako oluvannyuma.

1. Amatendekero abiri agasooka gasangibwa mu kigambo "mwenenye." "Okwenenya" kitegeeza ki?

Kyusa endowooza yo; kyusa endowooza yo ku ki? Ku Katonda, Kristo, n'ekibi. Ekyo endowooza kye kikyusibwako mu buli mbeera kiteekwa okusalirwawo ebikyetoolodde. Wano, ekirowoozo ekisooka era ekisinga okweyoleka kwe kukyusa endowooza ku Kristo. Peetero yaakatawaanya abamuwuliriza n'omusango ogw'entiisa nti baakomerera oyo Katonda gwe yafuula Mukama era Kristo. Nga "bafumitiddwa mu mutima" olw'omusango guno, oguleeteddwa mu maanyi g'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, abaali bamuwuliriza baaleekaana nti, "Abasajja era baganda baffe, tukole tutya?" "Mwenenye," Peetero bwe yaddamu. Kyusa endowooza yo ku Kristo. Kyuka ova ku ndowooza ey'okukyawa Kristo n'okukomerera Kristo odde ku ndowooza ey'okukkiriza Kristo. Kkiriza Yesu ng'Omulokozi era Mukama. Kale kino kye kitendekero ekisooka eri Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu: Kkiriza Yesu nga Kristo era Mukama. 2. Ekitendekero eky'okubiri nakyo kisangibwa mu kigambo "mwenenye." Wadde okukyusa endowooza ku Yesu kye kirowoozo ekisooka era ekyeyoleka, wateekwa okubaawo n'okukyusa endowooza ku kibi. Okukyusa endowooza okuva ku ndowooza eyagala ekibi oba ewuubaala mu kibi okudda ku ndowooza ekyawa ekibi n'okwegaana ekibi. Kino kye kitendekero eky'okubiri: gaana ekibi, ekibi kyonna, buli kibi. Wano tusanga kimu ku bizibu ebisinga okubaawo eby'okuziyiza okufuna Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Waliwo ekintu kye tunyweramu ekyo mu buziba bw'emitima gyaffe, kye tuwulira mu ngeri emu oba endala nti tekisanyusa Katonda. Bwe tuba ab'okufuna Omwoyo Omutukuvu, wateekwa okubaawo okukebera emitima okwa mazima era okujjuvu.

Tetuyinza kwekebera bulungi ffe fekka; Katonda ye ateekwa okukikola. Bwe tuba twagala okufuna Omwoyo Omutukuvu, tusaanidde okugenda twekka ne Katonda ne tumusaba atukebere bulungi era aleete mu lujjuvu buli kintu kyonna ekitamusanyusa. (Zabbuli 139:23-24) Awo tusaanidde okumulindirira akikole.

Ekintu ekitasanyusa bwe kibikkulwa, kisaanidde okuggyibwawo mangwago. Bwe kiba nti, oluvannyuma lw'okulindirira n'obugumiikiriza era n'amazima, tewali kiggibbwa mu lujjuvu, tuyinza okumaliriza nti tewali kintu kya ngeri eno mu kkubo ne tweyongera ku matendekero agaddirira. Naye tetusaanidde kumaliriza kino mu bwangu ennyo. Ekibi ekiziyiza omukisa kiyinza okuba ekintu ekirabika ekitono ennyo era ekitagasa mu bwakyo. Mukama Finney ayogera ku muwala eyali mu kweraliikirira okunene ku Kubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ekiro ku kiro, yalwanaganira mu kusaba, naye omukisa gwe yali ayagala ne gutajja.

Ekiro ekimu, bwe yali mu kusaba, ne kumujjira ekintu ky'okuyonja omutwe ekyali kimutawaanyizza emirundi mingi edda; ng'ateeka omukono ku mutwe gwe, n'aggyamu enkato n'azisuula, era mangwago omukisa ne gujja. Kino kyali kintu kitono mu bwakyo, ekintu ekitandirabise ng'ekibi ennyo. Kyokka, kyali kintu eky'obutakkiriziganya wakati w'omukazi ono ne Katonda, era ekintu kino bwe kyamalibwa omukisa ne gujja. "Buli ekitava mu kukkiriza kibi" (Abaruumi 14:23). Tekiriiko kye kizuula ekintu bwe kiyinza okuba ekitono, bwe wabaawo ebibuuzo ku kyo, kiteekwa okuggibwawo bwe tuba ab'okufuna Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ekitendekero eky'okubiri eri Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu kwe kuggyawo buli kibi.

3. Ekitendekero eky'okusatu kisangibwa mu lunyiriri luno lwe lumu: "Mubatizibwe buli omu ku mmwe mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo olw'okusonyiyibwa ebibi byammwe." Kyali mangwago oluvannyuma lw'okubatizibwa kwe Omwoyo Omutukuvu bwe yakkira ku Yesu. (Lukka 3:21-22.) Mu kubatizibwa kwe, Yesu, newankubadde nga ye yennyini teyalina kibi, yeetoowaza okutwala ekifo ky'omwonoonyi, awo Katonda n'amugulumiza ennyo olw'okumuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu era olw'obujulirwa obuwulikika, "Ono ye Mwana wange omwagalwa, gwe nsanyukira ennyo." Bwe tutyo naffe tuteekwa okwetoowaza tulyoke tuyatule mu lwatu ekibi kyaffe n'okukigaana n'okukkiriza Yesu Kristo, mu ngeri Katonda gye yateekawo, okuyita mu Kubatizibwa. Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu si kwa oyo mu kyama atwala ekifo kye ng'omwonoonyi era omukkiriza mu Kristo, wabula kwa oyo akikola mu lwatu. Mazima ddala, Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu kuyinza okukulembera okubatizibwa n'amazzi, nga bwe kyali eri ab'omu maka ga Koluneeriyo. (Bikolwa 10:47.) Naye kino kirabika nga kyali kya njawulo, era okubatizibwa n'amazzi kwaddirira mangwago.

Sibuusabuusa nti waaliwo abamu, mu Bakristaayo, abatakkiriza oba abatakola kubatizibwa na mazzi, ng'ekyokulabirako, "Mikwano" oba "Abapolotesitanti" abaafuna era abawa obujulirwa obw'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, naye olunyiriri olw'omu maaso gaffe mazima ddala luraga enteekateeka eya bulijjo.

4. Ekitendekero eky'okuna kirabika mu lwatu mu lunyiriri lwe tubadde tuyiga (Bikolwa 2:38), naye kyeyolekera mu bulwatu mu Bikolwa 5:32: "Omwoyo Omutukuvu, Katonda gw'awa abo abamugondera." Ekitendekero eky'okuna kwe kugonda. Okugonda kitegeeza ki?

Tekitegeeza bugenzi kukola bimu ku bintu, oba bingi ku bintu, oba ebisinga obungi ku bintu Katonda by'atulagira okukola. Kitegeeza okwewaayo okujjuvu eri okusiima kwa Katonda. Okugonda mpisa ya kusiima esooka emabega w'ebikolwa eby'enjawulo eby'okugonda. Kitegeeza nti nzija eri Katonda ne ŋŋamba nti: "Kitange ali mu ggulu, laba nze wano n'ebyange byonna. Wangula omuwendo omunene, era nkakasa nti oli nannyini bulamu bwange bwonna. Ntwala nange ne buli kintu kye nnina, era nkole nga bw'oyagala. Ntuma yonna gy'oyagala, onkozese nga bw'oyagala. Neewaayo nzennyini ne byonna bye nnina mu bujjuvu, awatali kwewaza, era emirembe gyonna mu mikono gyo era olw'ebigendererwa byo.

" Kyali nga ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, kyonna, awatali kitundu kye kisigazibbwa, bwe kyateekebwa ku kyoto "omuliro ne guva mu maaso ga Mukama" ne gukkiriza ekirabo (Eby'Abaleevi 9:24), era kiri nti bwe tweleeta ffennyini nga ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekijjuvu eri Mukama, ne tweteeka ku kyoto, omuliro ne gujja Katonda n'akkiriza ekirabo. Wano tukwata ku kiziyiza Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu bulamu bungi: tewali kwewaayo kujjuvu, okusiima tekuteekebbwa wansi, omutima tegukaaba nti, "Mukama, kola ky'oyagala, wonna gy'oyagala, mu ngeri yonna gy'oyagala." Omusajja omu ayagala Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu alyoke abuulire oba akole n'amaanyi mu Boston, so nga Katonda amwagaliza mu Bombay.

Omulala, alyoke abuulire abantu abaayagalibwa, so nga Katonda amwagaliza okukolera mu baavu. Omuwala omu mu lukuŋŋaana yayoleka okwegomba okunene nti waaliwo omuntu ayogera ku Kubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ekigambo ekyo kyakwata omutima gwe n'amaanyi. Yali amaze ekiseera mu buzibu bw'omwoyo obungi bwe namubuuza kye yali ayagala. "Ye," n'akaaba, siyinza kudda Baltimore okutuusa lwe ndibatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu." "Okusiima kwo kuteekeddwa wansi?" "Simanyi."

"Oyagala okudda e Baltimore obeere omukozi Omukristaayo?" "Yee." "Owaana okudda e Baltimore obeere omuwala omuweereza singa eyo Katonda gy'akwagaliza?" "Nedda, siwaana." "Kale, tolifuna Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu okutuusa lw'olibaawaana. Onooteeka okusiima kwo wansi?" "Siyinza." "Owaana Katonda akuteekere okusiima kwo wansi?"

"Yee." "Kale nno, musabe akikole."

Omutwe ne gukutamira mu kusaba okumpi naye okw'amaanyi. "Katonda yawulira okusaba okwo?" "Ateekwa okuba nga yakuwulira, kwali ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli; yakuwulira." "Kaakano musabe Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu." Nate, omutwe ne gukutama, era okusaba okumpi era okw'amaanyi ne kwambuka eri Katonda. Ne wabaawo akasiriikiriro akatono, era okulwanagana ne kuggwaawo, omukisa ne gujja, okusiima bwe kwaweebwayo. Waliwo bangi abeekyusa eri okwewaayo kuno okujjuvu kubanga batya okusiima kwa Katonda. Batya okusiima kwa Katonda kuleme okuba ekintu eky'entiisa.

Jjukira Katonda bw'ali; ye Kitaffe. Tewali kitaawe ku nsi eyalina okusiima okw'okwagala era okw'ekisa ku baana be nga Ye bw'atulinako. "Tewali kirungi ky'aliyima abo abatambulira mu bugolokofu." (Abaruumi 8:32). "Oyo ataarekerera Mwana we ye, naye n'amuwaayo ku lwaffe ffenna, talituwa era byonna awamu naye n'ekisa?" Tewali kya kutya mu kusiima kwa Katonda. Okusiima kwa Katonda bulijjo kukakasibwa mu bivaamu okuba ekintu ekisinga obulungi era ekiwoomerera mu byonna ebiri mu kitalo kya Katonda.

5. Ekitendekero eky'okutaano kisangibwa mu Lukka 11:13. "Kale oba mmwe, newankubadde muli babi, bwe mumanyi okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo nnyo okuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu abo abamusaba?" Okusaba okw'olunyiriri luno kwe kusaba okuva mu kwegomba okwa mazima era okungi. Kino kiraga ebikyetoolodde: "Musabe, munaaweebwa; munoonye, munaazuula; mukonkone, munaaggulirwawo."

Kebera n'olugero olw'omukwano omukaayi olukulembera mangwago. Kya lwatu nti okusaba Kristo kw'alowoozaako si kusaba kwa kwegomba kw'okuyitawo era okw'omutima ogumu, wabula kusaba kwa kwegomba kw'amaanyi.

Waliwo olunyiriri olulaga ennyo mu Isaaya, essuula ey'amakumi ana mu nnya, olunyiriri olw'okusatu: "Kubanga ndifuka amazzi ku ttaka eryennyootedde, n'emigga ku ttaka ekkalu; ndifuka Omwoyo wange ku zzadde lyo." Kitegeeza ki okuba nga oyagala amazzi? Omuntu bw'aba ayagala amazzi, waba nga waliwo okukaaba kumu kwokka: "Amazzi! Amazzi! Amazzi!" Buli kituli mu mubiri kiba ng'ekirina eddoboozi ne kikaaba nti, "amazzi." Bwe kityo emitima gyaffe bwe giba n'okukaaba kumu, "Omwoyo Omutukuvu, Omwoyo Omutukuvu, Omwoyo Omutukuvu," olwo Katonda afuka amataba ku ttaka ekkalu, afuka Omwoyo we ku ffe. Kale kino kye kitendekero eky'okutaano, okwegomba okw'amaanyi Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

Nga abayigirizwa ab'olubereberye baali batuusiddwa ku ntobo y'okwegomba okunene ku lunaku olw'ekkumi olw'okulindirira kwabwe okw'amaanyi, era emyoyo gyabwe egyali gyennyootedde ne gijjuzibwa ku lunaku olwo "Pentekooti bwe yatuukirira ddala." Ekiseera kyonna omuntu lw'alowooza nti ayinza okuyitawo mu ngeri eyo awatali Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, ekiseera kyonna lw'anoonya ekintu ekifaanana ng'okuyigirizibwa oba enkola z'omulimu ez'amagezi, tagenda kukufuna. Abaweereza bangi bafiirwa obujjuvu bw'amaanyi Katonda ge yabaterekera, olw'obugenzi nti tebaagala kukkiriza obwetaavu bwe babadde nabwo emyaka gino gyonna.

Mazima ddala kikwasa nsonyi okwatula, naye okwatula okwo okukwasa ensonyi kwandibadde omukulembeze gw'omukisa ogw'ekitalo. Naye si batono, abo, mu butaagala kwatula kuno okulongoosa, banoonya enkola z'okuvvuunula ez'amagezi okwewala amakulu aga lwatu era amangu ag'Ekigambo kya Katonda, era bwe batyo beerimba obujjuvu bw'amaanyi g'Omwoyo Katonda bw'ayagala ennyo okubawa; ate era, bateeka mu kabi enkomerero ey'emirembe egy'emyoyo egyeesigamye ku buweereza bwabwe, egyandiwangulirwa Kristo, singa baali balina amaanyi g'Omwoyo Omutukuvu ge bandibadde nago.

Naye waliwo abalala Katonda mu kisa kye be yaleeta okulaba nti waaliwo ekintu obuweereza bwabwe bye bwabulako, era ekintu kino tekisingako Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu okw'omugaso ennyo, awatali ko omuntu tasaanira ddala obuweereza obukkirizibwa era obw'omugaso, era beetoowaza ne beeyatula mu lwatu obubulwa bwabwe, oluusi baaleeteddwa ku kimalirizibwa ekiyigirizibwa Katonda nti tebandigenze mu maaso mu mulimu gwabwe okutuusa obubulwa buno lwe bwaddibwamu, baalindirira mu kwegomba okunene eri Katonda Kitaawe olw'okutuukiriza ekisuubizo kye, era ekyavaamu kwali buweereza obwakyusibwa olw'obwo bangi bwe basituse okutendereza Katonda. Tekimala nti okwegomba Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu kuba kwa maanyi; kuteekwa n'okuba n'ekigendererwa ekituufu. Waliwo okwegomba Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu okw'obwerere obw'okwefaako wekka.

Waliwo mungi alina okwegomba okw'amaanyi Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu bugenzi alyoke abe omubuulizi omukulu, oba omukozi ow'omuntu ku muntu omukulu, oba eyaatiikirira mu ngeri eyo ng'Omukristaayo. Ky'anoonya bugenzi kwe kugobolola kwe oba ekitiibwa kye ye. Nga byonna biriko, si Mwoyo Omutukuvu gw'anoonya, wabula ekitiibwa kye ye n'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu ng'ekkubo eritwala eri ekyo. Kimu ku byambika Setaani by'atuyingizaamu ebisinga obukujjukujju era obulabe kiri kiri we tunoonya Omwoyo Omutukuvu, ekirabo kino ekisinga ebirala byonna okuba eky'entiisa, olw'ebigendererwa byaffe ffe.

Okwegomba Omwoyo Omutukuvu tekuteekwa kuba kwa kufuula Omuntu oyo asinga era Omutukuvu omuweereza w'ebigendererwa byaffe ebya wansi, wabula olw'ekitiibwa kya Katonda. Kuteekwa okuva mu kutegeera nti Katonda ne Kristo bavumibwa olw'obuweereza bwange obutaliimu maanyi era olw'ekibi ky'abantu abanneetoolodde, kye siriiko maanyi kaakano, era nti Ye aligulumizibwa bwe ndiba n'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo wa Katonda. Kimu ku nnyiriri ezisinga okuba ez'entiisa mu Ndagaano Empya kikwata ku nsonga eno. (Bikolwa 8:18-24) "Simoni bwe yalaba nti Omwoyo yaweebwa olw'okussibwako kw'emikono gy'abatume, n'abaleetera ensimbi ng'agamba nti, 'Nange mumpe obuyinza buno, buli gwe nnaassangako emikono gyange afune Omwoyo Omutukuvu.'"

Wano waaliwo okwegomba okw'amaanyi ku ludda lwa Simoni, naye kwali kwa butukuvu bubulako era kwa kwefaako yekka, era eky'okuddamu kya Peetero eky'entiisa kisaanira okwetegerezebwa n'okufumiitirizibwako. Tewali mungi leero, alina ekigendererwa ekitali kitukuvu era eky'okwefaako yekka mu ngeri y'emu, ayagala Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu?

Buli omu ayagala era anoonya Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu asaanidde okwebuuza lwaki akwagala.

Bw'olaba nti kwa bugenzi lwa kumatira kwo wekka oba ekitiibwa kyo, kale saba Katonda akusonyiwe ekirowoozo eky'omutima gwo, era akusobozese okulaba nga bw'okwetaagira ekitiibwa kye era okukwegombera olw'ekigendererwa ekyo.

6. Ekitendekero eky'omukaaga kiri mu lunyiriri luno lwe lumu. (Lukka 11:13.) "Kale oba mmwe, newankubadde muli babi, bwe mumanyi okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo nnyo okuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu abo abamusaba?" Ekitendekero eky'omukaaga kwe kusaba. Okusaba omukisa ogw'obutereevu mu lwatu. Kristo bw'aba amaze okukkirizibwa ng'Omulokozi era Mukama, era n'ayatulibwa bw'atyo, ekibi bwe kiba kimaze okuggibwawo, bwe wamaze okubaawo okwewaayo okw'olwatu, okujjuvu okw'okusiima, bwe wabaawo okwegomba okwa mazima era okutukuvu, olwo ne kujja ekikolwa ekyangu eky'okusaba Katonda omukisa guno ogw'obutereevu.

Guweebwa ng'okuddamu okw'okusaba okunyiikivu, okw'obutereevu, okwa mazima, era okw'okukkiriza.

Kiwakanibbwa mu bunyiikivu abamu nti tetusaanidde kusaba Mwoyo Omutukuvu. Baleeta ensonga bwe bati: "Omwoyo Omutukuvu yaweebwa Ekkanisa ku Pentekooti, ng'ekirabo ekibeerera." Kino kya mazima, naye ekyo ekyaweebwa Ekkanisa, buli mukkiriza ateekwa okukyetwalira ye kennyini. Kyagambibwa bulungi ku nsonga eno nti Katonda amaze okuwa Kristo eri ensi (Yokaana 3:16), naye nti buli muntu ateekwa okumwetwalira mu kikolwa eky'obuntu bwe alyoke afune omugaso ogw'obuntu ogw'ekirabo, era bwe kityo buli muntu ateekwa okwetwalira ekirabo kya Katonda eky'Omwoyo Omutukuvu alyoke afune omugaso gwakyo ogw'obuntu.

Naye kiwakanibbwa nga bweyongera nti buli mukkiriza alina Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kino nakyo kya mazima mu ngeri emu. "Omuntu yenna bw'ataba na Mwoyo wa Kristo, oyo si waye."

(Abaruumi 8:9) Naye nga bwe tumaze okulaba, kisoboka ennyo okuba n'ekintu, weewaawo ekingi, ku kubeerawo kw'Omwoyo n'omulimu gwe mu mutima naye era omuntu n'atatuukiriza obujjuvu obwo obw'enjawulo n'omulimu ogumanyibwa mu Baibuli ng'Okubatizibwa oba Okujjuzibwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ng'okuddamu ensonga zonna ez'obukujjukujju ku nsonga eno, tuteeka ekigambo kya Kristo ekyangu: "Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo nnyo okuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu abo abamusaba."

"Mu lukuŋŋaana omuwandiisi mwe yalangirirwa okwogera ku nsonga eno, owooluganda omu yamugamba nti: 'Ndaba oja kwogera ku Kubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu.' "Yee." "Y'ensonga esinga obukulu ku ntegeka; kaakano weegendereze obagambe baleme okusaba Omwoyo Omutukuvu." "Sijja kubagamba ekyo n'akatono; kubanga Yesu yagamba nti, 'Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo nnyo okuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu abo abamusaba.'" "Ye, naye ekyo kyali nga Pentekooti tennaba." "Bikolwa 4:31 kyo? Kyali nga Pentekooti tennaba oba oluvannyuma?" "Oluvannyuma, mazima." "Bwe baamala okusaba, ekifo mwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde ne kikankana. Era bonna ne bajjuzibwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu."

"Essuula ey'omunaana ey'Ebikolwa kyo? Kyali nga Pentekooti tennaba oba oluvannyuma?" "Oluvannyuma, mazima."

"Kale, soma ennyiriri ez'ekkumi n'ennya okutuuka ku kkumi n'omukaaga."

Ennyiriri ne zisomebwa: "Peetero ne Yokaana, bwe baatuuka, ne basabira abakkiriza abaggya abaali eyo balyoke bafune Omwoyo Omutukuvu, kubanga Omwoyo Omutukuvu yali tannabakkako n'omu ku bo, ne bafuna Omwoyo Omutukuvu." Okwolekera ebiragibwa byonna kwe kuyigiriza kuno okwa lwatu okw'Ekigambo okuyita mu kiragiro n'okuyita mu kyokulabirako nti Omwoyo Omutukuvu aweebwa ng'okuddamu okw'okusaba. Kyali bwe kityo ku Pentekooti; kibadde bwe kityo okuva olwo. Abo be nasisinkana abasinga okuwa obujulirwa obw'okubeerawo kw'Omwoyo n'amaanyi mu bulamu bwabwe n'omulimu gwabwe bakkiriza mu kusaba Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kibadde kya nkizo eri omuwandiisi etayogerekeka okusaba n'abaweereza bangi n'abakozi Abakristaayo olw'omukisa guno omukulu, era oluvannyuma okumanya okuva mu bo oba okuva mu balala ku maanyi amaggya agajja mu buweereza bwabwe, agataali galala wabula amaanyi g'Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

7. Ekitendekero eky'omusanvu era eky'enkomerero kisangibwa mu Makko 11:24: "buli kye musaba nga musaba, mukkirize nti mukifunye, era kinaabeera kyammwe." Ebisuubizo bya Katonda ebisinga okuba eby'olwatu era ebitaliiko kigaana biteekwa okwetwalirwa okuyita mu kukkiriza. Mu Yakobo 1:5, tusoma nti: "Naye omuntu yenna ku mmwe bw'aba talina magezi, asabe Katonda, awa bonna atakwatirwa nsonga, era ganaamuweebwa."

Kaakano, ekyo mazima kya lwatu era kitaliiko kigaana kimala, naye wuliriza omuwandiisi ky'agamba oluvannyuma: "Naye asabe mu kukkiriza, nga tabuusabuusa, kubanga abuusabuusa afaanana ejjengo ery'ennyanja, erisuukundibwa empewo ne litwalibwa eruuyi n'eruuyi. Omuntu oyo aleme okusuubira kufuna kintu kyonna okuva eri Mukama." Kale wateekwa okubaawo okukkiriza okufuula obwaffe ebisuubizo bya Katonda ebisinga okuba eby'olwatu era ebitaliiko kigaana, ng'ekyo ekiri mu Lukka 11:13 ne Bikolwa 2:38-39.

Kale wano, tuzuula ensonga y'okulemererwa mu bifo bingi okuyingira mu mukisa ogw'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Okulemererwa kubanga ekitendekero eky'enkomerero tekikolebbwa, ekitendekero ekyangu eky'okukkiriza. Tebakkiriza, tebasuubira n'obwesige, era tulina ekyokulabirako ekirala eky'engeri abantu gye "Tebaayingira olw'obutakkiriza" (Abaebbulaniya 4:6). Waliwo bangi abaggibwa ku nsi eno ey'amata n'omubisi gw'enjuki olw'obutakkiriza buno bwokka. Kirungi okugattako nti waliwo okukkiriza okuyita ku kusuubira, okukkiriza okugolola omukono ne kutwala ekyo kye kusaba. Kino kyeyolekera mu lwatu mu Makko 11:24: "Buli kye musaba nga musaba, mukkirize nti mukifunye, era kinaabeera kyammwe." Nzijukira nga bwe nnatabulwa nnyo olunyiriri luno bwe nnasooka okulwetegereza.

Bwe nnakebera Oluyonaani olw'olunyiriri, nnalaba nti olunyiriri lwali lutuufu, naye lwali lutegeeza ki? Lwali lulabika ng'okutabukatabuka okwa njawulo okw'ebiseera. "Kkiriza nti okifunye (dda), era kinaabeera kyo." Ekyokutabula kino ekyalabika kyagonjoolwa oluvannyuma lwennyo, nga nsoma Ebbaluwa ya Yokaana ey'olubereberye.

Nnasoma mu ssuula ey'okutaano, olunyiriri olw'ekkumi n'ennya n'olw'ekkumi n'ettaano: "Buno bwe bwesige bwe tulina gy'ali, nti bwe tusaba ekintu kyonna ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli, atuwulira. Era oba tumanyi nti atuwulira buli kye tusaba, tumanyi nti tulina bye tumusabye." Bwe nsaba ekintu kyonna eri Katonda, ekisooka okuzuula kwe kiri nti, ekisaba kino kiri ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli? Ekyo bwe kimalibwa, bwe nzuula nti kiri ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli, ng'ekyokulabirako, ekintu ekisabibbwa bwe kiba kisuubiziddwa mu lwatu mu kigambo kye, olwo mmanyi nti okusaba kuwuliddwa, era mmanyi nga bweyongera nti, "Nnina ekisaba kye musabye," nkimanyi kubanga akyogera mu lwatu, era ekyo kye nzetwalidde ku kukkiriza okwangu, okufaanana ng'okw'omwana, mu Kigambo kye ekyereere "nnaakifuna" mu kutegeera.

Omuntu alina obwannannyini obw'olwatu ku kifo ky'ettaka bw'akimpandiikira, kiba kyange amangwago ng'ebiwandiiko byakolebwa bulungi era ne biwandiikibwa, newankubadde nga wayinza okuyitawo ekiseera nga sinnayingira mu kwesiima kwakyo okw'omu bulamu. Nnina kyo mu ngeri emu amangwago ng'ebiwandiiko biwandiikiddwa. Nnaakifuna mu ngeri endala oluvannyuma. Mu ngeri y'emu, amangwago nga ffe, tumaze okutuukiriza ebisaanyizo eby'okusaba okuwangula, bwe tuwaayo eri Katonda ekisaba kya "kintu kyonna ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli," kya nkizo yaffe okumanya nti okusaba kuwuliddwa, era nti ekyo kye tumusabye kyaffe. Kaakano teeka kino ku Kubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Ntuukirizza ebisaanyizo eby'okufuna omukisa guno bye twogeddeko.

Nsaba bugenzi, mu lwatu, Katonda, Kitaawe, Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Awo ne nnyimirira ne ŋŋamba nti, "Okusaba okwo kwali ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli?" Yee, Lukka 11:13 lugamba bwe kityo. "Kale oba mmwe, newankubadde muli babi, bwe mumanyi okuwa abaana bammwe ebirabo ebirungi, Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talisingawo nnyo okuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu abo abamusaba?" Bikolwa 2:38-39 lugamba nti: "Mwenenye, mubatizibwe buli omu ku mmwe mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo olw'okusonyiyibwa ebibi byammwe. Nammwe mulifuna ekirabo ky'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Kubanga ekisuubizo kyammwe n'abaana bammwe, n'abo bonna abali ewala, nga bangi Mukama Katonda waffe be alikoowoola." Okusaba Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu kuli "ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli," kubanga kusuubiziddwa mu lwatu era mu bulambulukufu. Kale mmanyi nti okusaba kuwuliddwa era nti nnina ekisaba kye musabye. (1 Yokaana 5:14-15) Kwe kugamba, nnina Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

Kale nnina eddembe okugolokoka okuva ku maviivi gange ne ŋŋamba, ku buyinza obumala obw'Ekigambo kya Katonda, nti "Nnina Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu," era oluvannyuma nnaafuna mu kwesiima okw'omu bulamu ekyo kye nnzetwalidde okuyita mu kukkiriza okwangu; kubanga Katonda ayogedde, era tayinza kulimba, nti "buli kye musaba nga musaba, mukkirize nti mukifunye, era kinaabeera kyammwe."

Omusomi yenna ow'ekitabo kino ayinza mu kifo kino okukiteeka wansi, era bwe kiba nti Kristo akkiriziddwa ng'Omulokozi era Mukama, era ng'ayatuliddwa mu lwatu bw'atyo mu ngeri ya Katonda, era bwe kiba nti ekibi kinoonyeddwamu ne kiggibwawo, era bwe wabaddewo okwewaayo okujjuvu okw'okusiima n'obwomu eri Katonda, era bwe waba n'okwegomba okwa mazima okw'ekitiibwa kya Katonda okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, ebisaanyizo bino bwe biba bimaze okutuukirizibwa, oyinza okuvuunama kaakano mu maaso ga Katonda, n'omusaba akubatize n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, era olyoke ogambe, okusaba bwe kumaze okwambuka, nti "Okusaba okwo kwawuliddwa, nnina kye nsabye, nnina okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu," era olina eddembe okugolokoka n'ogenda ku mulimu gwo, ng'okakasibwa nti mu mulimu ogwo olibaamu amaanyi g'Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

Naye omuntu abuuza nti, "Sisaanidde kumanya nti nnina Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu nga sinnatandika mulimu?" Mazima, naye tunaamanya tutya? Simanyi ngeri nnungi ya kumanyamu kintu kyonna okusinga okuyita mu Kigambo kya Katonda. Nnandikkirizza ekigambo kya Katonda okusinga enneewulira zange olunaku lwonna. Tukola tutya n'oyo abuuza eyakkiriza Kristo, naye nga talina bukakafu nti alina obulamu obutaggwaawo? Tetumusaba kutunuulira nneewulira ze, wabula tumutwala ku lunyiriri ng'olwo olwa Yokaana 3:36. Tumugamba alusome, era n'asoma nti: "Akkiriza Omwana alina obulamu obutaggwaawo." "Ani agamba ekyo?" bwe tubuuza. "Katonda agamba kyo." "Kya mazima?"

"Ye, mazima kya mazima; Katonda agamba kyo." "Katonda agamba nti ani alina obulamu obutaggwaawo?" "Oyo akkiriza Omwana." "Okkiriza Omwana?" "Yee." "Kale olina ki?" "Nedda, simanyi, sinnawulira nti nnina obulamu obutaggwaawo," "Naye Katonda agamba ki?" "Akkiriza Omwana alina obulamu obutaggwaawo." "Ojja kukkiriza Katonda oba enneewulira zo?"

Tunywerera oyo abuuza awo w'ali okutuusa lw'agamba, ku Kigambo kya Katonda ekyangu era ekyereere, wabaawo okuwulira oba tewabaawo, nti, "Mmanyi nti nnina obulamu obutaggwaawo kubanga Katonda akyogera," era oluvannyuma okuwulira ne kujja. Weeyise mu nsonga eno ey'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu nga bw'oyisa oyo abuuza mu nsonga y'obukakafu.

Kakasa nti otuukirizza ebisaanyizo, olyoke osabe, oyimirize, era okole. Naye omuntu anaagamba nti, "Kijja kubeera nga bwe kyali edda, tewabeewo kweyoleka kwonna?" Mazima ddala, walibaawo okweyoleka okumu.

"Naye buli omu aweebwa okweyoleka kw'Omwoyo olw'okugasa bonna." (1 Abakkolinso 12:7.) Naye engeri y'okweyoleka eriba etya, era tulikulaba wa? Ku kifo kino kye bangi we bakola ensobi. Bayinza okuba nga baasoma obulamu bwa Mukama Finney oba obwa Jonasani Edwards, ne bajjukira engeri amayengo amanene ag'enneewulira ey'amasannyalaze gye gaayita ku basajja bano okutuusa lwe baawalirizibwa okusaba Katonda aggyeko omukono gwe, baleme okufa olw'essanyu erisukkiridde. Oba baagenda mu lukuŋŋaana olumu, ne bawulira obujulirwa obw'ebyokutegeera ebifaanagana, ne basuubira ekintu ekifaanana kino.

Kaakano sigaana mazima g'ebyokutegeera ng'ebyo. Obujulirwa bw'abasajja nga Finney ne Edwards busaanidde okukkirizibwa. Waliwo ensonga ey'amaanyi ennyo lwaki siyinza kubigaana. Naye nga nkkiriza amazima g'ebyokutegeera bino, nnandibuuzizza, oluli oluwi olw'Endagaano Empya oluliwo oluluga ekyokutegeera kya ngeri eyo mu bikwatagana n'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu? Buli kweyoleka kw'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu Ndagaano Empya kwali mu maanyi amaggya mu buweereza. Tunuulira, ng'ekyokulabirako, 1 Abakkolinso 12, ensonga eno gy'eyogerwako mu bujjuvu ennyo, era weetegereze engeri y'okweyoleka okwogeddwako. Kirabika ennyo nti Abatume baalina ebyokutegeera ebifaanagana n'ebya Finney ne Edwards n'abalala, naye, singa baabifuna, Omwoyo Omutukuvu yabaziyiza okubiwandiika. Kirungi bwe yakola bwe kityo, kubanga singa baayogera ku bintu bya ngeri eyo, twandinoonyezza ebintu bino mu kifo ky'okweyoleka okusinga obukulu okw'amaanyi mu buweereza.

Naye ekibuuzo ekirala kirybuuzibwa: "Abatume tebaalindirira nnaku kkumi, era ffe tetuyinza kuba nga twetaaga kulindirira?" Abatume baalindirizibwa ennaku kkumi, naye ensonga eweebwa mu Bikolwa 2:1. "Olunaku lwa Pentekooti bwe lwatuuka" (mu bwannannyini lwe lwali lutuukirizibwa,) Mu bigendererwa n'enteekateeka za Katonda ezitaggwaawo era mu bifaananyi eby'Endagaano Enkadde, Olunaku lwa Pentekooti lwateekebwawo ng'ekiseera eky'okuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu, era Omwoyo teyandiweebbwa okutuusa Olunaku lwa Pentekooti lwe lwatuukirira okujja, naye tetusoma ku kulindirira oluvannyuma lwa Pentekooti, mu Bikolwa 4:31, tewaali kulindirira. "Bwe baamala okusaba, ekifo mwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde ne kikankana. Era bonna ne bajjuzibwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu." Bikolwa 4:31. Peetero ne Yokaana bwe baaserengeta e Samaliya ne basanga nti tewali ku bakyusibwa abaggya eyali abatiziddwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, ne "basabira abakkiriza abaggya abaali eyo balyoke bafune Omwoyo Omutukuvu," era ne bakikola awo n'awo. (Bikolwa 8:15, 17). Pawulo ow'e Taluso teyawalirizibwa kulindirira mu ssuula ey'omwenda ey'Ebikolwa. Ananiya n'ayingira n'amutegeeza ku kirabo kino eky'ekitalo, n'amubatiza, n'amussaako emikono gye, era "Amangwago mu kkuŋŋaaniro n'alangirira Yesu, nti ye Mwana wa Katonda." (Bikolwa 9:17-20).

Tewaali kulindirira mu Bikolwa 19. Peetero nga tannamaliriza kubuulira kwe, Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu ne kujja. (Bikolwa 10:44-46, Bikolwa 11:15-16.) Mu ssuula ey'ekkumi n'omwenda ey'Ebikolwa, tewaali kulindirira. Pawulo yali yaakalangirira eri abayigirizwa ab'e Efeso ekirabo ky'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, era ebisaanyizo bwe byatuukirizibwa, omukisa ne guddirira.

(Bikolwa 19:1-6.) Abantu balina okulindirira bwe baba nga tebatuukirizza bisaanyizo, Kristo bw'aba nga takkirizibbwa mu bujjuvu, oba ekibi nga tekiggiddwawo, oba nga tewali kwewaayo kujjuvu, oba kwegomba kwa mazima, oba okusaba okw'olwatu, oba okukkiriza okwangu, okutwala bugenzi ku Kigambo ekyereere. Obutabaawo bw'ebimu ku bino bulindiriza bangi okusukka ennaku kkumi oluusi. Naye tewali nsonga omusomi yenna ow'ekitabo kino okulindirira essaawa kkumi. Oyinza okuba n'Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu kaakano ddala, bw'onooba oyagadde.

Omuvubuka omu lumu yajja gye ndi mu bunyiikivu bungi ku nsonga eno. "Nnawulira ku Kubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu," n'agamba, "ekiseera ekiyise era mbadde nkunoonya, naye sinnakufuna." "Okusiima kwo kuteekeddwa wansi?" "Ntya nti eyo ye nsonga." "Onooteeka okusiima kwo wansi?" "Ntya nti siyinza." "Owaana Katonda akuteekere okusiima kwo wansi?" "Yee." "Musabe akikole." Ne tufukamira mu kusaba, era n'asaba Katonda amuteekere okusiima kwe wansi. "Katonda yawulira okusaba okwo?"

"Ateekwa okuba nga yakuwulira, kwali ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli." "Okusiima kwo kuteekeddwa wansi?" "Kiteekwa okuba bwe kityo."

"Kale saba Katonda Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu." N'akikola. "Okusaba okwo kwali ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli?" "Yee." "Kwawuliddwa?" "Kiteekwa okuba nga kwawuliddwa." "Ofunye Okubatizibwa kw'Omwoyo Omutukuvu?" "Sikuwulira." "Ekyo si kye nkubuuzizza; ddamu osome ennyiriri ezo." Baibuli yali eyanjuluddwa ku 1 Yokaana 5:14-15 mu maaso ge, era n'asoma nti: "Buno bwe bwesige bwe tulina gy'ali, nti bwe tusaba ekintu kyonna ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli, atuwulira." "Linda katono; okusaba okwo kwali ng'okusiima kwe bwe kuli?" "Mazima kwali bwe kityo." "Kwawuliddwa?" "Kwawuliddwa. Weeyongere okusoma." "Era oba tumanyi nti atuwulira buli kye tusaba, tumanyi nti tulina bye tumusabye."

"Otumanyi ki?" "Nti tulina ekisaba kye tumusabye." "Ekisaba kyali kiruwa?"

"Okubatizibwa n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu." "Okirina?" "Sikuwulira, naye Katonda akyogera, era kiteekwa nga nkirina."

Nga wayiseewo ennaku ntono, ne nnamusisinkana nate ne mmubuuza oba yali afunye ddala ekyo kye yatwala ku kukkiriza okwangu. N'amaaso ag'essanyu mu maaso ge, n'anziramu nti, "Yee." Ne mmubula okumala oboolyawo emyaka ebiri, oluvannyuma ne mmusanga ng'eyeetegekera obuweereza, era ng'amaze okubuulira, era Katonda ng'assaamu ekitiibwa okubuulira kwe n'emyoyo egyalokolebwa, era nga wayiseewo akaseera n'amukozesa awamu n'abalala ng'ekyokuyisaamu omukisa omunene eri ssettendekero ly'eddiini mwe yali asoma.

Yali n'asazeewo okuweereza Kristo mu ttwale ery'ebweru w'eggwanga. Ekyo kye yeetwalira ku kukkiriza okwangu n'akifuna, omusomi yenna ow'ekitabo kino ayinza okukyetwalira n'akifuna mu ngeri y'emu.
