ENGERI Y’OKUTAMBULA EY’AMAZIMA

"Atambulira mu bwesimbu y’atambula emirembe" Engero 10:9

Okutambula kwe kuyinza okuba okw’empola, naye kwa kakafu. Oyo ayanguyiriza okugaggawala taabeere mutuukirivu wadde ow’obukakafu; naye okunyiikira n’obwesimbu, ne bwe kutaaleeta bugagga, mazima kulireeta emirembe. Bwe tukola ekituufu era eky’ensonga, tuba ng’omuntu atambulira ku lwazi, kubanga tulina obwesige nti buli kigere kye tuteeka kibeera ku ttaka eggumu era eddamu. Ku luuyi olulala, obuwanguzi obusingira ddala obungi obuvudde mu nkola ez’enkwe bulina okubeeranga obw’obwereere era obutaliimu bwesigwa, era omuntu abufunye ateekwa okutyanga bulijjo nti walijja olunaku olw’okubuuzibwa, olwo amagoba ge ne gamusalira omusango.

Ka tunywerere ku mazima n’obutuukirivu. Olw’ekisa kya Katonda, ka tukoppe Mukama waffe era Omuyigiriza waffe, ataali na bukuusa mu kamwa ke n’akatono. Tuteetyanga kuba baavu, wadde okunyoomebwa. Tetuukolanga, ku nsonga yonna, ekyo emmeeme yaffe ky’etayinza kukkiriza. Bwe tufiirwa emirembe egy’omunda, tufiirwa ekisinga ekyo obugagga bye buyinza okugula. Bwe tunywerera mu kkubo lya Mukama, ne tutayonoona ku mmeeme yaffe, ekkubo lyaffe liba lya kakafu eri buli alwana naffe. Ani ayinza okutukola akabi bwe tuba abagoberezi b’ekirungi? Tuyinza okulowoozebwa okuba abasirusiru abasirusiru bwe tunywerera mu bwesimbu bwaffe; naye mu kifo omusango we gusalirwa awatali kusobya, tuliweebwa ekitiibwa.

EKYOKULABIRAKO KYAFFE EKISINGA OBUTUKUVU

"Nkulembeza Mukama buli kiseera, era ali ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, siinyeenyezebwenga" Zabbuli 16:8

Eno y’engeri ey’okubeeramu obulamu. Nga Katonda ali mu maaso gaffe bulijjo, tujja kuba n’omukwano ogusinga ekitiibwa, n’ekyokulabirako ekisinga obutukuvu, n’essanyu ery’okubudaabudibwa erisinga obuwoomi, n’obuyinza obusinga amaanyi. Kino kiteekwa okuba ekikolwa eky’obumalirivu bw’omutima. "Nkulembeza," era kiteekwa okunywezebwa nga ekintu ekigereke era ekinywevu. Okubeeranga n’eriiso ku liiso lya Mukama, n’okutu ku ddoboozi lya Mukama -- eno ye mbeera entuufu ey’omuntu atya Katonda. Katonda we ali kumpi naye, ng’ajjuza wonna w’atunula, ng’amukulembera mu kkubo ery’obulamu bwe, era ng’amuwa omulamwa gw’okufumiitiriza kwe. Bino eby’obutaliimu ki bye twandyewaliddeko, ebibi ki bye twandiwangudde, empisa ki ennungi ze twandiragidde, essanyu ki lye twandifunye singa ddala twateeka Mukama mu maaso gaffe bulijjo! Lwaki nedda?

Eno y’engeri ey’okubeera mu bukuumi. Nga Mukama abeera bulijjo mu birowoozo byaffe, tutuuka okuwulira obukuumi n’obukakafu olw’okuba ali kumpi bw’atyo. Ali ku mukono gwaffe ogwa ddyo okutuluŋŋamya n’okutubeera; era bwe kityo tetunyeenyezebwa kutya, wadde amaanyi, wadde obukuusa, wadde obutali bunywevu. Katonda bw’ayimirira ku mukono gw’omuntu ogwa ddyo, omuntu oyo yennyini aba wa kakafu okuyimirira. Kale, mujje, mmwe abalabe b’amazima! Munfubutukireko ng’omuyaga ogw’amaanyi, bwe muba muyagala. Katonda ampanirira. Katonda abeera nange. Ani gwe nnaatya?

EMIREMBE MU BULABE BWONNA

"Ndikola endagaano yange ezisuubiza emirembe, era ndigoba mu nsi ensolo enkambwe, zibeerenga mu ddungu era zeebakenga mu bibira mirembe nga tezirumbibwa" Ezeekyeri 34:25

Kya kisa kya waggulu ennyo nti Yakuwa abeere mu ndagaano n’omuntu, ekitonde ekinafu, ekyonoonyi era ekifa. Naye Mukama yeeyunze mu ndagaano ey’obwesigwa n’effe mu ngeri ey’ekitiibwa, era endagaano eyo taagiveeko n’akatono. Olw’endagaano eno tuli mu bukuumi. Ng’empologoma n’emisege bwe bigobebwa abasumba, bwe bityo n’ebintu byonna ebyonoonyi bijja kugobebwawo. Mukama alituwa okuwummula okuva eri abo abateganya n’abazikiriza; ensolo embi zirivaawo mu nsi. Ayi Mukama, tuukiriza ekisuubizo kyo kino ne kaakano!

Abantu ba Mukama basaanira okusanyukira obukuumi mu bifo ebisinga okubeera mu bulabe: amalungu n’ebibira bijja kubeera ng’omuddo n’ebisibo eri ekisibo kya Kristo. Mukama bw’atakyusa kifo ne kiba ekirungi, ajja kutufuula abalungi mu kifo omwo. Eddungu si kifo kya kubeeramu, naye Mukama ayinza okulifuula ekifo eky’okubeeramu; mu bibira omuntu awulira ng’ateekwa okutunula obutali kwebaka, kyokka Mukama awa gw’ayagala otulo n’eyo. Tewali kintu kya kungulu wadde eky’omunda ekisaanira kuleetera mwana wa Katonda kutya. Olw’okukkiriza, eddungu liyinza okufuuka enkalu z’Eggulu, n’ebibira ne bifuuka omuryango gw’ekitiibwa.

OKUBIKKIBWA N’OKUKUUMIBWA

"Alikubikka n’ebyoya bye, era mu biwaawaatiro bye mw’onoddukiranga; obwesigwa bwe bunaabanga ngabo yo okukukuumanga" Zabbuli 91:4

Olugero olw’okwetoowaza olw’ekitalo ddala! Nga enkoko bw’ekuuma obwana bwayo n’ebuganya okwekweka wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro byayo, bw’atyo Mukama bw’alirwanirira abantu be, n’abaganya okwekweka mu ye. Tetulaba obwana obw’enkoko obutono nga bulingiza okuva wansi w’ebyoya bya nnyina waabwo? Tetuwulira kaaba kaabwo akatono ak’essanyu eryamatira? Mu ngeri eno ka twekweke mu Katonda waffe, era tuwulire emirembe egyamatira olw’okumanya nti atukuuma.

Mukama bw’atubikka, twesiga. Kyandibadde kya kitalo singa tetwesiga. Tuyinza tutya obutesiga, ng’ate Yakuwa yennyini afuuka nnyumba n’awaka, obuddukiro n’okuwummula gye tuli?

Kino nga kikoleddwa, tufuluma okulwana mu linnya lye era tusanyukira obulabirizi bwe bumu obw’okukuuma. Twetaaga engabo n’engabo entono, era bwe twesiga Katonda awatali kubuusabuusa, nga akaana bwe keesiga enkoko, tulaba ng’amazima ge gatwambaza okuva ku mutwe okutuuka ku bigere. Mukama tayinza kulimba; ateekwa okuba omwesigwa eri abantu be; ekisuubizo kye kiteekwa okunywera. Amazima gano aga kakafu ge ngabo yonna gye twetaaga. Emabega waago tuwakanya obusaale obw’omuliro obw’omulabe.

Jjangu, ggwe emmeeme yange, weekweke wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro ebyo ebinene, weebulire mu byoya ebyo ebigonvu! Nga oli wa ssanyu!

EBIFO EBYA WAGGULU EBY’OKWEKUUMA

"ye muntu alituula waggulu mu bifo ebya waggulu, n’obuddukiro bwe buliba ebigo eby’omu nsozi. Aliweebwa emmere, n’amazzi tegalimuggwaako" Isaaya 33:16

Omuntu Katonda gw’awadde ekisa okuba n’obulamu obutaliiko kya kunenyezebwa abeera mu bukuumi obutuukiridde.

Abeera waggulu, okusukka ensi, ewala n’essasi ly’omulabe, era kumpi n’Eggulu. Alina ebigendererwa n’ensonga ezisukkulumu, era afuna okusanyusibwa n’omukwano ebya waggulu. Asanyukira mu nsozi ez’okwagala okutaggwaawo, gy’alina ekifo kye eky’okubeeramu.

Akuumibwa ebigo eby’olwazi olw’ekitalo. Ebintu ebisinga obunywevu mu nsi yonna bye bisuubizo n’ebigendererwa bya Katonda atakyukakyuka, era bino bye bukuumi bw’omukkiriza omuwulize.

Aweebwa olw’ekisuubizo kino ekikulu, "Aliweebwa emmere." Ng’omulabe bw’atayinza kulinnya kigo, wadde okumenya bbugwe, bwe kityo ekigo tekiyinza kuwambibwa lwa kuzingizibwa na njala. Mukama, eyatonnyesa maanu mu ddungu, alikuuma abantu be nga balina eby’okulya ebimala ne bwe baba bazingiziddwa abo abaagala okubasaanyaawo n’enjala.

Naye singa amazzi gaggwaawo? Ekyo tekiyinza kubaawo, "amazzi tegalimuggwaako." Waliwo oluzzi olutaggwaawo munda mu kigo ekitawangulwa. Mukama alaba nga tewali kibulako. Tewali ayinza kukwatako mutuuze wa Sayuuni ow’amazima. Omulabe ka abe omukambwe atya, Mukama alikuuma abalonde be.

"OKUYITAMU" SO SI OKUSAANYIZIBWAWO

"Bw’onooyitanga mu mazzi amawanvu nnaabeeranga naawe, ne bw’onooyitanga mu migga tegirikusaanyaawo; bw’onooyitanga mu muliro tegukwokyenga, ennimi z’omuliro tezirikwokya" Isaaya 43:2

Tewali ttatto: kitugwanidde okuyita mu mazzi, n’okuwulira okufubutuka kw’emigga. Okubeerawo kwa Katonda mu mataba kusinga eryato ery’okusomokera. Kitugwanidde okugezesebwa, naye tuliwangula; kubanga Yakuwa yennyini, asinga amaanyi amazzi amangi, alibeera naffe. Ne bw’ayinza okuba ewala n’abantu be mu biseera ebirala, Mukama mazima alibeera nabo mu buzibu ne mu kabi. Ennaku ez’obulamu ziyinza okwewanika waggulu ennyo, naye Mukama akwatagana na buli mbeera.

Abalabe ba Katonda basobola okututeekera mu kkubo akabi ke beekoledde bo, kwe kuyigganyizibwa n’okuduulirwa okukambwe, ebiri ng’ekikoomi ekyaka omuliro. Kale kiki? Tulyita mu miliro. Nga Katonda ali naffe, tetulyokebwa; weewaawo, n’akawoowo k’omuliro tekalisigala ku ffe.

Ayi, obukuumi obw’ekyewuunyo obw’omutambuze eyazaalirwa mu ggulu era alaga mu ggulu! Amataba tegayinza kumuzikiza, wadde emiliro okumwokya. Okubeerawo kwo, Ayi Mukama, kwe kukuuma abatukuvu bo okuva mu kabi ak’enjawulo ak’oluguudo. Laba, mu kukkiriza neewaayo gy’oli, era omwoyo gwange guyingira mu kuwummula.

EKIRABO EKY’AMAANYI; EMIREMBE OKUWA OMUKISA

"Mukama awa abantu be amaanyi; Mukama awa abantu be emirembe" Zabbuli 29:11

Dawudi yali yakawulira eddoboozi lya Mukama mu kibuyaga eky’okubwatuka, era yali alabye amaanyi ge mu muyaga omukambwe ogw’ekkubo lye yali annyonnyodde; ne kaakano, mu kutebenkera okuwewuka oluvannyuma lw’omuyaga, amaanyi ago agasukkiridde Eggulu n’ensi bye ganyeenya gasuubizibwa okuba amaanyi g’abalonde. Oyo awa obusaale bwe ebiwaawaatiro obutakyama, aliwa abanunule ebiwaawaatiro ng’eby’empungu; oyo anyeenya ensi n’eddoboozi lye alitiisatiisa abalabe b’abatukuvu be, n’awa abaana be emirembe. Lwaki tunafuwa ate nga tulina amaanyi aga Katonda ge tuyinza okuddukira? Lwaki tweraliikirira ate nga emirembe gya Mukama yennyini gyaffe? Yesu, Katonda Ow’amaanyi, ye maanyi gaffe; ka tumwambale tugende mu buweereza bwaffe. Yesu, Mukama waffe eyaweebwa omukisa, era ye mirembe gyaffe; ka tuwummulire mu ye leero, tumalire awo okutya kwaffe. Nga kya mukisa okumufuna okuba amaanyi n’emirembe gyaffe kaakano era emirembe gyonna!

Katonda oyo omu eyeebagala omuyaga mu nnaku ez’ebibuyaga alifuga n’omuyaga omukambwe ogw’okubonaabona kwaffe, n’atuweereza, mu bbanga ttono, ennaku ez’emirembe. Tuliba n’amaanyi ag’okugumira ebibuyaga, n’ennyimba olw’obudde obulungi. Ka tutandike okuyimbira Katonda amaanyi gaffe n’emirembe gyaffe kaakano kaakano. Muveewo, mmwe ebirowoozo ebizikiza! Muyimuke, ggwe okukkiriza n’essuubi!

OKUGOBERERA KUVAAMU EKITIIBWA

"Oyo ampeereza, angoberere. Nze w’endi n’omuweereza wange w’anaabeeranga era Kitange alimuwa ekitiibwa oyo ampeereza" Yokaana 12:26

Obuweereza obusinga obukulu kwe kukoppa. Bwe mba nga njagala kuba muweereza wa Kristo, nteekwa okuba omugoberezi we. Okukola nga Yesu bwe yakola y’engeri esinga obukakafu ey’okuleeta ekitiibwa eri erinnya lye. Ka nkifeeko buli lunaku.

Bwe nkoppa Yesu nnaabeera naye: bwe mba nga nfaanana naye nnaabeera naye. Mu kiseera ekituufu alintwala waggulu okubeera naye, singa mu kiseera kino mba nfubye okumugoberera wano wansi. Oluvannyuma lw’okubonaabona kwe, Mukama waffe yatuuka ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, era bwe kityo, oluvannyuma lw’okubonaabona naye akaseera wano wansi, naffe tulituuka mu kitiibwa. Enkomerero y’obulamu bwa Mukama waffe eriba nkomerero ya bwaffe: bwe tuba naye mu kutoowazibwa kwe, tuliba naye mu kitiibwa kye. Jjangu, ggwe emmeeme yange, gguma omwoyo, oteeke ebigere byo mu bigere ebirambiddwa omusaayi Mukama wo by’akulekedde.

Nneme kwerabira nti Kitaffe alissaamu ekitiibwa abo abagoberera Omwana we. Bw’andaba nga ndi mwesigwa eri Yesu alintekako obubonero obw’ekisa n’ekitiibwa ku lwa Mwana we. Tewali kitiibwa kiyinza kuba nga kino. Abalangira n’abakabaka abakulu bawa bisiikirize byokka eby’ekitiibwa; ekintu ekituufu eky’ekitiibwa kiva eri Kitaffe. Kyekivudde, ggwe emmeeme yange, nywerera ku Mukama wo Yesu ennyo okusinga bulijjo.

"BULI KIMU" EKY’OKUKKIRIZA

"Yesu n’amuddamu nti, Obanga osobola! Buli kimu kisoboka eri oyo akkiriza" Makko 9:23

Obutakkiriza bwaffe kye kiziyiza ekisinga obunene mu kkubo lyaffe; mazima ddala, tewali kizibu kirala kya nnamaddala ku by’okukula n’okukulaakulana kwaffe okw’omwoyo. Mukama ayinza okukola buli kimu; naye bw’ateeka etteeka nti ng’okukkiriza kwaffe bwe kuli bwe kityo bwe kiruba gye tuli, obutakkiriza bwaffe busiba emikono gy’Oyo Ayinzabyonna.

Weewaawo, enkolagana ez’ekibi zirisaasaanyizibwa singa tusobola okukkiriza. Amazima aganyoomebwa galiyimusa omutwe gwago singa tuba n’obwesige mu Katonda ow’amazima. Tusobola okwetikka omugugu gwaffe ogw’obuzibu, oba okuyita mu mayengo ag’ennaku nga tetulumizibwa, singa tusobola okwesiba mu kiwato n’olukoba lw’emirembe, olukoba luli olusibibwa n’emikono egy’obwesige.

Kiki kye tutayinza kukkiriza? Buli kimu kisoboka okuggyako okukkiriza Katonda? Kyokka bulijjo wa mazima; lwaki tetumukkiriza? Bulijjo mwesigwa eri ekigambo kye; lwaki tetuyinza kumwesiga? Bwe tuba mu mbeera y’omutima entuufu, okukkiriza tekutwetaagisa maanyi: mu kiseera ekyo kituba kya buzaaliranwa gye tuli okwesiga Katonda ng’omwana bw’eyesiga kitaawe.

Ekisinga obubi kiri nti, tusobola okukkiriza Katonda ku buli kintu okuggyako okugezesebwa okw’ekiseera kino okutunyiga. Kino busirusiru. Jjangu, ggwe emmeeme yange, kunkumula ekibi ekifaanana bwe kityo, weesigire Katonda wo omugugu, omulimu, n’okwegomba okw’ekiseera kino. Kino nga kikoleddwa, byonna nga bikoleddwa.

KATONDA YE MUNNAFFE MU LUTALO

"Naye bw’onoowulirizanga eddoboozi lye, n’okola nga bwe ŋŋamba, kale nnaakyawanga abakukyawa, n’abalabe bo banaabanga balabe bange." Okuva 23:22

Mukama Kristo ng’ali wakati mu bantu be asaanira okukkirizibwa n’okugonderwa. Ye mumyuka wa Katonda, era ayogera mu linnya lya Kitaawe, era kitugwanira okukola nga bw’alagira awatali kubuusabuusa era mangwago. Tujja kufiirwa ekisuubizo bwe tunaanyooma ekiragiro.

Nga omukisa munene ku okugondera okutuukiridde! Mukama akola endagaano n’abantu be, ey’okulumba n’ey’okwerwanako. Anaawanga omukisa abo abatuwa omukisa, n’akolimira abo abatukolimira. Katonda anaatambulanga n’abantu be n’omutima gwe gwonna n’emmeeme ye yonna, era anaabeeranga mu mbeera yaabwe n’okusaasira okungi. Nga buno bukuumi bwe butuwa! Tetwetaaga kweraliikirira olw’abalabe baffe, nga tukakasiddwa nti bafuuse abalabe ba Katonda. Yakuwa bw’aba yeetutte olutalo lwaffe, tuyinza okuleka abalabe mu mikono gye.

Bwe kituuka ku byetuvaamu ffe ffennyini, tetulina balabe; naye olw’ensonga ey’amazima n’obutuukirivu tukwata ebyokulwanyisa ne tugenda mu lutalo. Mu lutalo luno olutukuvu twegasse ne Katonda Ataggwaawo, era bwe tugondera n’obwegendereza etteeka lya Mukama waffe Yesu, yeewaddeyo okukozesa amaanyi ge gonna ku lwaffe. Kyetuva tutatya muntu n’omu.

WEESIGA OKOLE; KOLA OWEESIGE

"Weesigenga Mukama okolenga bulungi, onoobeeranga n’emirembe mu nsi n’ofuna ebirungi." Zabbuli 37:3

Weesiga ne kola bigambo ebitabagana bulungi, mu ntegeka Omwoyo Omutukuvu gye yabissaamu. Tusaanidde okuba n’okukkiriza, era okukkiriza okwo kusaanidde okukola. Okwesiga Katonda kututeeka ku bikolwa ebitukuvu: twesiga Katonda tufune ebirungi, ne tulyoka tukola obulungi. Tetutuula busizze olw’okuba nga twesiga, wabula twegumya, ne tusuubira Mukama okukolera mu ffe ne ku lwaffe. Si kya ffe kweraliikirira na kukola bubi, wabula kwesiga na kukola bulungi. Tetwesiga awatali kukola, so tetukola awatali kwesiga.

Abalabe baffe bandyagadde okutusimbula, singa baali basobola; naye olw’okwesiga n’okukola tubeera mu nsi. Tetugenda kudda mu Misiri, wabula tunaasigala mu nsi ya Emmanweri -- obulabirizi bwa Katonda, Kanani ow’okwagala okw’endagaano. Tetuyinza kumalibwawo mangu nga abalabe ba Mukama bwe balowooza. Tebasobola kutusindiikiriza bweru, wadde okututta: Katonda gy’atuwadde erinnya n’ekifo, awo we tubeera.

Naye tugambe ki ku by’okuliisa kwaffe kwe twetaaga? Mukama assizza ekigambo "mazima ddala" mu kisuubizo kino. Nga Katonda bw’ali ow’amazima, bw’atyo bwe kiri nti abantu be banaaliisibwanga. Kya bo okwesiga n’okukola, era kya Mukama okukola ng’okwesiga kwabwe bwe kuli. Bwe bataaliisibwe bannamuŋoona, oba okuliisibwa Obadiya, oba okuliisibwa nnamwandu, kyokka banaaliisibwanga mu ngeri emu. Muveewo, mmwe entiisa!

OMUTIMA OMUTEEFU

"Mu kusiriikirira ne mu kwesiga mwe muli amaanyi gammwe" Isaaya 30:15

Bulijjo bunafu okweraliikirira n’okweraliikiriza, okubuusabuusa n’obutakkiriza. Kiki kye tusobola okukola bwe tumalamu amaanyi gaffe ne tusigala magumba mwereere? Tulina kye tuganyulwa olw’okutya n’okunyiiga? Tetwefuula abatasobola kukola, ne tutabula ebirowoozo byaffe okusalawo n’amagezi? Tubbira mu kulwana kwaffe so nga twandiseeyeeyereddemu olw’okukkiriza.

Ayi, singa tuweebwa ekisa okusirika! Lwaki tudduka okuva mu nnyumba okudda mu nnyumba nga tuddiŋŋana olugero olukooya olweyongera okutulwaza omutima nga bwe tulugera? Lwaki n’okusigala eka ne tukaaba mu nnaku olw’okuteebereza okubi okuyinza obutatuukirira n’akatono? Kirungi okukuuma olulimi olusirise, naye kyandisinze obulungi singa tubadde n’omutima ogusirise. Ayi, okusirika ne tumanya nti Yakuwa ye Katonda!

Ayi, singa tuweebwa ekisa okwesiga Katonda! Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri ateekwa okulwanirira n’okununula ababe. Tayinza kudda nnyuma ku bigambo bye eby’amazima. Tuyinza okukakasa nti buli kigambo kye kinaanywera newaakubadde ng’ensozi zeggyeewo. Asaanira okwesigibwa; era singa twoleka okwesiga n’obusirifu obuvaamu, twandibadde basanyufu ng’emyoyo egiri mu maaso g’entebe ey’obwakabaka.

Jjangu, ggwe emmeeme yange, ddayo mu kiwummulo kyo, oteeke omutwe gwo ku kifuba kya Mukama Yesu.

AKAWUNGEEZI KAFUUKA OMUSANA

"Obudde bwe buliwungeera walibaawo ekitangaala." Zekkaliya 14:7

Kya kwewuunya nti kiba bwe kityo; kubanga ebintu byonna bitiisa nti obudde bwe buliwungeera waliba ekizikiza. Katonda ayagala okukola mu ngeri esukkirira ennyo okutya kwaffe n’esukka essuubi lyaffe, ne tuwuniikirira nnyo, ne tuleetebwa okutendereza ekisa kye eky’obwakabaka. Nedda, tekiribeera gye tuli nga emitima gyaffe bwe giragula: ekizikiza tekiryeyongera kutuuka mu ttumbi, wabula amangwago buliyakaayakana ne bufuuka omusana. Tuleme kuggwaamu ssuubi n’akatono. Mu biseera ebisinga obubi ka twesige Mukama afuula ekizikiza eky’ekisiikirize eky’okufa okuba enkya. Amatoffaali bwe gaakubisibwa emirundi ebiri, Musa n’alabika, era ennaku bwe zeeyongera kwe kuba nga ziri kumpi n’okukoma.

Ekisuubizo kino kisaanidde okuyamba obugumiikiriza bwaffe. Ekitangaala kiyinza obutajja mu bujjuvu okutuusa essuubi lyaffe nga liweddewo olw’okulinda olunaku lwonna awatali kigendererwa. Eri ababi enjuba egwa nga bukyali misana: eri abatuukirivu enjuba evaayo nga obudde buli kumpi kuziba. Tetuyinza na bugumiikiriza kulindirira kitangaala ekyo eky’omu ggulu, ekiyinza okulwawo okujja, naye nga kya kakafu okwerimbulula nti kisaanira ddala okulindirirwa?

Jjangu, ggwe emmeeme yange, situla olugero lwo oyimbire Oyo anaakuwa omukisa mu bulamu ne mu kufa, mu ngeri esukkuluma byonna obutonde bye bwali bulabyeko ne bwe bubadde mu mbeera yaabwo esinga obulungi.

TEWALI KYA DDA

"Oyo eyali atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka n’agamba nti, Laba, ebintu byonna mbizzizza buggya." Okubikkulirwa 21:5

Ekitiibwa kibeere eri erinnya lye! Ebintu byonna byetaaga okuzzibwa obuggya, kubanga byonoonese nnyo era bikaddiye olw’ekibi. Kaakati kye kiseera ekyambalo eky’edda okuzingibwa ne kissibwa wa bbali, n’obutonde okwambala ekyambalo kyabwo ekya Ssande. Naye tewali mulala ayinza kuzza bintu byonna buggya okuggyako Mukama eyabikola okusooka; kubanga kyetaagisa amaanyi mangi okukola ekintu okuva mu kibi nga bwe kyetaagisa okukola okuva mu bwereere. Mukama waffe Yesu yeetisse omulimu guno, era asobola bulungi okugutuukiriza. Amaze okutandika omulimu gwe, era okumala ebyasa abadde agumiikiriza mu kuzza obuggya emitima gy’abantu, n’enteekateeka ey’ekibiina ky’abantu. Mu kiseera tejja kuzza buggya enteekateeka yonna ey’obufuzi bw’abantu, era obuntu bw’abantu bulikyusibwa olw’ekisa kye; era waliba olunaku omubiri lwe gulizzibwa obuggya, ne guzuukizibwa okufaanana ng’omubiri gwe ogw’ekitiibwa.

Nga ssanyu ki okuba mu bwakabaka omuli buli kintu ekizzibwa obuggya olw’amaanyi ga Kabaka waakyo! Tetuggwaawo: twanguya okutuuka ku bulamu obw’ekitiibwa okusingawo. Newaakubadde ng’amaanyi g’obubi galwanyisa, Mukama waffe ow’ekitiibwa Yesu atuukiriza ekigendererwa kye, era atufuula ffe, n’ebintu byonna ebitwetoolodde, "biggya," era nga bijjudde obulungi nga bwe byava mu mukono gwa Mukama okusooka.

OKUGOBA OKW’OBWAKATONDA

"Muligobamu Abakanani newaakubadde nga balina amagaali ag’ebyuma era nga baamaanyi." Yoswa 17:18

Kya kuzzaamu amaanyi nnyo eri obuvumu okukakasibwa obuwanguzi, kubanga olwo omuntu agenda mu lutalo n’obwesige, era n’akoona we yanditidde okugenda.

Bali bumu, era bulijjo bateekwa okuba bumu: Yesu tayinza kubeerawo nga talina bantu be, kubanga yandibadde Mutwe ogutalina mubiri. Oba nga tusituliddwa mu bbanga, oba nga tuwummulira mu Paradiso, oba nga tuli batambuze wano, tuli ne Yesu; era ani anaatwawula ku ye?

OKULWANIRIRWA N’OKUSAANIKIRWA

"Ng’ebinyonyi bwe bibuukira waggulu, bw’atyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’alisaanikira Yerusaalemi." Isaaya 31:5

N’ekiwaawaatiro ekyanguwa ennyonyi ennyina yanguwa okudda okukuuma abaana baayo. Tefeerezaawo budde ku kkubo ng’ejja okubaleetera emmere, oba okubakuuma eri akabi. Bw’atyo ng’ali ku biwaawaatiro by’empungu Mukama bw’alijja okulwanirira abalonde be; weewaawo, alyebagala ku biwaawaatiro by’empewo.

OKUBONAABONA, NAYE TEWALI MAGUMBA GAMENYESE

"Amagumba ge gonna Mukama agakuuma, ne watabaawo na limu limenyeka." Zabbuli 34:20

Ekisuubizo kino, okusinziira ku bigambo ebikyetoolodde, kyogera ku muntu omutuukirivu abonaabona ennyo: "Omuntu omutuukirivu ayinza n’okuba n’ebizibu bingi, naye byonna Mukama abimuyisaamu." Ayinza okufuna ebiwundu ku lususu ne mu mubiri, naye tewali kabi kanene kanaakolebwa, "ne watabaawo na limu limenyeka."

Ensonga tekweralikirira. Bwe twesiga Mukama, akuuma amagumba gaffe gonna; era bw’agakuuma, tuyinza okukakasa nti tewali na limu limenyese.

"Nze, nze mwene, nze nzuuno abawa amaanyi. Mmwe baani abatya omuntu alifa, n’omwana w’omuntu ali ng’omuddo, ne weerabira Mukama Omutonzi wo eyabamba eggulu, n’ateekawo n’emisingi gy’ensi, ebbanga lyonna ne mubeera mu kutya obusungu bw’abo abakunyigiriza, oyo eyemalidde mu kuzikiriza? Kubanga kale buliruddawa obulabe bw’oyo abanyigiriza?" Isaaya 51:12, 13

Ekyawandiikibwa kino kkennyini kitwalibwe ng’omugabo gwa leero. Tewali kyetaagisa kukyongerako bigambo. Ggwe akankana, kisome, kikkirize, kirye, era okiwoze mu maaso ga Mukama.

OKUVA MU BUSUNGU OKUDDA MU KWAGALA

"Alikyuka n’atukwatirwa ekisa nate; alirinnyirira ebibi byaffe, n’asuula ebyonoono byaffe byonna mu buziba bw’ennyanja." Mikka 7:19

Katonda tava ku kwagala kwe, naye mangu ddala ava ku busungu bwe. Okwagala kwe eri abalonde be kuli ng’obuzaaliranwa bwe, obusungu bwe buli ng’omulimu gwe gwokka: ayagala kubanga ye kwagala, akaluubirira kubanga kyetaagisa olw’obulungi bwaffe. Alidda mu kifo omutima gwe mwe guwummulira, kwe kugamba, okwagala kwe eri ababe, n’alyoka atusaasira mu nnaku zaffe n’azikomya.

Nga kino kisuubizo kya muwendo -- "Alirinnyirira ebibi byaffe"! Alibiwangula. Byo bikaaba okutufuula abaddu, naye Mukama alituwa obuwanguzi ku byo n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo. Ng’Abakanani, biriwangulwa, ne biteekebwa mu kikoligo, era ku nkomerero ne bittibwa.

Ate ku musango gw’ebibi byaffe, nga gijjibwawo mu ngeri ey’ekitiibwa! "ebyonoono byaffe byonna," -- weewaawo, ekibinja kyabyo kyonna; "asuula" -- mukono gwa Ayinzabyonna gwokka gwe guyinza okukola ekyamagero bwe kityo; 'mu buziba bw’ennyanja"--Falaawo n’amagaali ge gye baagwa. Si mu mazzi amayifuyifu ebibi byaffe mwe biyinza okuddizibwa amayengo, wabula mu "buziba" mwe binaasuulibwa. Byonna biweddewo. Byasaanawo emmanga ng’ejjinja. Aleruuya! Aleruuya!

"Katonda kye kiddukiro kyaffe, era ge maanyi gaffe; omubeezi ddala atabulawo mu kulaba ennaku." Zabbuli 46:1

Obuyambi obutabaawo mu kiseera lwe tubwetaaga tebulina mugaso munene. Ekyuma ekyesigamiza eryato bwe kiba kirekeddwa eka tekigasa muvubi mu kiseera ky’omuyaga; ssente omuntu ze yalinako tezigasa mubanja ng’ekiwandiiko eky’omusango kimuvuddeko.

Naye ku Mukama Katonda waffe, aliwo bwe tumunoonya, aliwo bwe tumwetaaga, era aliwo ne bwe tumaze okuganyulwa mu buyambi bwe.

Asinga okuba nga "aliwo," ye aliwo ddala. Aliwo okusinga mukwano gwaffe asemberayo, kubanga ali mu ffe mu kulaba ennaku kwaffe; aliwo okusinga ffe bwe tuli eri ffekka, kubanga oluusi tetuba na butebenkevu bwa birowoozo.

Tetwetaaga kubeera n’okweraliikirira kw’akaseera, wadde okutya kw’akatikitiki. "Mukama ow’Eggye ali naffe, Katonda wa Yakobo kye kigo kyaffe."

Omulabe oyo omukulu, Setaani, mulimba okuva ku lubereberye; naye asendasenda nnyo, era nga maama Kaawa, tusendebwa okumukkiriza. Naye mu bye tuyitamu tujja kukakasa nti mulimba.

Agamba nti tujja kugwa okuva mu kisa, ne tuswaza okwatula kwaffe, ne tuzikirira ng’abo abaava mu kukkiriza; naye, nga twesiga Mukama Yesu, tujja kunywerera mu kkubo lyaffe ne tukakasa nti Yesu tafiirwa n’omu ku abo Kitaawe be yamuwa. Atugamba nti emmere yaffe ejja kuggwaawo, ne tulumwa enjala n’abaana baffe; naye Aliisa namuŋŋoona tannatwerabira, era talikikola, wabula anaatuteekerateekera emmeeza mu maaso g’abalabe baffe.

Awunyiriza nti Mukama talitununula mu kigezo ekyeyongera okusembera mu wala, era atutiisatiisa nti akatundu akasembayo ke kanaamenya omugongo gw’eŋŋamira. Nga mulimba! Kubanga Mukama talitulekera ddala wadde okutwabulira. "Kale amulokole kaakano!" bw’aleekaana omulyannyi omulimba: naye Mukama alimusirisa ng’ajja okututaasa.

Asanyukira nnyo okutugamba nti okufa kunaatusinga amaanyi. "Onoosobolayo otya mu nsiko y’oku Yoludaani?" Naye n’eyo alijja kutulimbira, era tulisomoka omugga nga tuyimba ennyimba ez’ekitiibwa.

"Yesu oyo abaggiddwako n’atwalibwa mu ggulu, agenda kukomawo mu ngeri y’emu nga bwe mumulabye ng’agenda mu ggulu." Ebikolwa by’Abatume 1:11

Ekituufu kino mu bulamu bwakyo kisuubizo; kubanga Mukama waffe kye yali ky’ali, era kye yali eri abo be yali nabo ku nsi, ky’anaabeera eri bonna abaagalwa be okumala ng’omwezi bwe gunaabeerawo.

"Bwe yayagala": kino kye kyali eky’ekitalo! Nti yali ayinza n’okwagala abantu kyennyini kye kyewuunyisa. Kiki ekyali mu bayigirizwa be abaavu ekyali kimusaanyiza okubaagala? Kiki ekiri mu nze?

Naye bw’atandika okwagala, buzaaliranwa bwe okweyongera okukola bwe kityo. Okwagala kwafuula abatukuvu "ababe" -- nga kye kitiibwa ekyalondebwa! Yabagula n’omusaayi ne bafuuka eby’obugagga bwe. Nga bwe bali ababe, talibafiirwa. Nga bwe bali abaagalwa be, talirekera kubaagala. Ggwe emmeeme yange, talirekera kukwagala!

Ekyawandiikibwa kirungi nga bwe kiri: "okutuusa ku nkomerero," ne mu kufa kwe kkennyini okwagala okufuga eri ababe kwafuga mu kifuba kye ekitukuvu. Era kitegeeza n’okutuusa ku bujjuvu obw’enkomerero. Teyandibaagadde okusingawo: yeewaayo ku lwabwe. Abamu bakisoma nti, okutuukirira. Mazima yabafukirira okwagala okutuukiridde, omwali mutali bbala wadde kulemererwa, so nga temuli butamanya, wadde obutaba bwesigwa, wadde okwekweka.

Bwe kutyo bwe kuli okwagala kwa Yesu eri buli omu ku bantu be. Ka tuyimbire Omwagalwa waffe oluyimba.

SIRIBA MUGENYI MU GGULU

"Mu kuteesa kwo onkulembera, era olintuusa mu kitiibwa." Zabbuli 73:24

Okuva olunaku ku lunaku n’okuva omwaka ku mwaka okukkiriza kwange kukkiririza mu magezi n’okwagala kwa Katonda, era mmanyi nti sirikkiriza bwereere. Tewali kigambo kye ekirungi ekyali kiggwaamu amaanyi, era nkakasa nti tewali na kimu ekirigwa wansi.

Neeteeka mu mukono gwe alyoke ankulembere. Ekkubo lye nsaanira okulonda simanyi: Mukama y’anaalonda omugabo gwange. Nneetaaga okuteesebwa n’amagezi; kubanga emirimu gyange mizibu, n’embeera yange nzibuwavu. Nnoonya Mukama, nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu ow’edda bwe yatunuulira Ulimu ne Sumimu ye. Amagezi ga Katonda atakyama ge nnoonya okusinga okusalawo kwange nze wennyini oba amagezi g’emikwano. Ayi Yakuwa ow’ekitiibwa, gw’onookulembera!

Amangu ddala enkomerero erituuka: emyaka mitono egisigadde, era nnaava mu nsi eno ne ndaga eri Kitaffe. Mukama wange anaabeera kumpi n’ekitanda kyange. Anaansisinkana ku mulyango gw’Eggulu: anaansembeza mu nsi ey’ekitiibwa. Siriba mugenyi mu Ggulu: Katonda wange era Kitange anaansembeza mu ssanyu lyayo eritaggwaawo.

EKITIIBWA KIBEERE ERI OYO

ANAANKULEMBERA WANO,

ERA ANAANSEMBEZA OLUVANNYUMA. AMIINA.
