EBIJJUDDE OLUYIMBA

"Ensozi n’obusozi nabyo ne bitandika okuyimba nga bibalabye, n’emiti gyonna ne gitendereza n’essanyu" Isaaya 55:12

Ekibi bwe kisonyiyibwa, ennaku yaffe esinga obunene eba eggwaawo, n’essanyu lyaffe erya nnamaddala ne litandika. Essanyu Mukama ly’awa abo be yatabaganya naye liba lingi nnyo ne liyiika, ne lijjuza ebitonde byonna okujaguza. Ensi eno ey’ebintu ebirabika erimu ennyimba ezikwekeddwa munda, era omutima ogwazzibwa obuggya gumanyi engeri y’okuziggyamu ne guzifuula eddoboozi. Obutonde ye nnanga, era omuntu aliko ekisa azuula ebifuumbiro byayo, n’abiteekako engalo ze, n’azuukusa ensi yonna n’ebigirimu okuyimba mu kutegeeragana okw’okutendereza. Ensozi n’obusozi, n’ebintu ebirala ebinene, bye bifaanana ng’amaloboozi aga wansi ag’ekibiina ky’abayimbi; ate emiti egy’omu kibira, n’ebintu byonna ebiramu, bye bikwata oluyimba lwennyini olw’ennyimba ennyuvu.

Ekigambo kya Katonda bwe kikulaakulana mu ffe, n’emyoyo ne girokolebwa, olwo buli kimu kirabika nga kijjudde oluyimba. Bwe tuwulira okwatula kw’abakkiriza abato, n’obujulirwa bw’abatukuvu abayigirizibwa obulungi, tusanyuka nnyo ne kituwaliriza okutendereza Mukama, era olwo kirabika ng’enjazi n’obusozi, n’ebibira n’ennimiro, biddamu amaloboozi g’essanyu lyaffe, ne bifuula ensi ekibiina ky’abakubi b’ebivuga. Mukama, ku lunaku luno olw’essanyu olwa Maayi, ntwala mu nsi yo ejjudde ennyimba, nga njjudde okutendereza ng’akanyonyi akayimba mu bujjuvu.

OKUSIGA MU MWOYO

"Oyo asiga eri omwoyo, alikungula obulamu obutaggwaawo" Abaggalatiya 6:8

Okusiga kulabika ng’omulimu ogufiirwa, kubanga tuteeka eŋŋaano ennungi mu ttaka ne tutagiddamu kugiraba. Okusiga eri Omwoyo kulabika ng’omulimu ogw’ebirooto, ogutaliimu; kubanga tweefiiriza, ne tulabika nga tetulina kye tufunamu. Naye bwe tusiga eri Omwoyo nga tufuba okubeera abalamu eri Katonda, nga tunoonya okugondera Katonda by’ayagala, era nga twewaayo okukuza ekitiibwa kye, tetulisiga bwereere. Obulamu bwe buliba empeera yaffe, obulamu obutaggwaawo. Buno tubunyumirwa wano bwe tuyingira mu kumanya Katonda, mu kussa ekimu ne Katonda, ne mu kusanyukira Katonda. Obulamu buno bukulukuta ng’omugga ogweyongera okukka wansi n’okugaziwa, okutuusa lwe butututusa ku nnyanja ey’essanyu eritaliiko kkomo, obulamu bwa Katonda gye bubeera obwaffe emirembe n’emirembe.

Leero tuleme kusiga eri omubiri gwaffe, kubanga amakungula galiba kuvunda, kubanga omubiri bulijjo gudda eyo; naye n’okwefuga okutukuvu tubeere abalamu ku lw’ebigendererwa ebisinga obukulu, ebisinga obulongoofu, n’ebisinga okuba eby’omwoyo, nga tunoonya okuwa Mukama waffe omutukuvu ennyo ekitiibwa nga tugondera Omwoyo we ow’ekisa ekingi. Nga galiba makungula ga ngeri ki bwe tulikungula obulamu obutaggwaawo! Nga biriba binywa bya ssanyu eritaggwaawo ebirikungulwa! Ng’amakungula ago galiba mbaga ki! Mukama, tufuule abakunguzi ab’engeri eyo, ku lw’Omwana wo.

WULIRIZA AKABONERO

"Awo olunaatuuka bw’onoowulira abakumba ku masanso g’emitugunda, oyanguwe okulumba, kubanga ekyo kinaategeeza nti Mukama akukulembedde okuzikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti" 2 Samwiri 5:24

Waliwo obubonero obw’okutambula kwa Mukama obulina okututambuza. Omwoyo wa Katonda akuntira gy’ayagala, era tuwulira okuwuuma kwe. Ekyo kye kiseera ffe okunyiikira okusinga bwe tuli bulijjo. Tuteekwa okukwata akaseera ako aka zaabu, ne tukakozesa nga bwe tusobola. Kya ffe okulwana n’Abafirisuuti ebiseera byonna; naye Mukama yennyini bw’atukulembera, olwo tulina okubeera abazira mu lutalo mu ngeri ey’enjawulo.

Empewo yakunta ku masanso g’emiti, Dawudi n’abasajja be ne bakitwala ng’akabonero ak’okulumba, era bwe baakumba, Mukama yennyini n’azikiriza Abafirisuuti. Kale singa leero Mukama atuwa omwagaanya okumwogerako eri mikwano gyaffe bangi! Tubeere bulindaala okukozesa omwagaanya ogw’essuubi bwe gujja. Ani amanyi, leero luyinza okuba olunaku olw’amawulire amalungi; ekiseera eky’okuwangula emyoyo. Tutege amatu gaffe okuwulira okuwuuma kw’empewo, n’ebirowoozo byaffe bibeere nga byetegese okugondera akabonero. Ekisuubizo kino, "Mukama akukulembedde," tekimala okutuzzaamu amaanyi okwesimba ng’abasajja? Mukama nga bw’atukulembera, tetusobola kudda nnyuma.

OBUWANGUZI MU KUGWA

"Tonjeeyereza ggwe omulabe wange, kubanga wadde ngudde, nnaayimuka. Ne bwe naatuula mu kizikiza, Mukama anaabeera ekitangaala kyange" Mikka 7:8

Kino kiyinza okwogera ebiri mu mutima gw’omusajja oba omukazi alinnyiririrwa era ajoogebwa. Omulabe waffe ayinza okuzikiza ekitangaala kyaffe okumala ekiseera. Waliwo essuubi eddene gye tuli mu Mukama; era bwe tuba tumwesiga, nga tunywerera ku bwesimbu bwaffe, ekiseera kyaffe eky’okugwa n’eky’ekizikiza kinaatera okuggwaawo. Okuvuma kw’omulabe kwa kaseera buseera. Mukama ajja kufuula mangu okuseka kwabwe okukungubaga, n’okusinda kwaffe akufuule okuyimba.

Ne bwe kiba nti omulabe omukulu ow’emyoyo atuwangula okumala akaseera, nga bwe yawangula abasajja abatusinga obulungi, kyokka tugume omwoyo, kubanga tujja kumuwangula mu bbanga ttono. Tujja kuyimuka okuva mu kugwa kwaffe, kubanga Katonda waffe tagudde, era ajja kutuyimusa. Tetujja kusigala mu kizikiza, wadde nga kaakano tukituddemu; kubanga Mukama waffe ye nsulo y’ekitangaala, era ajja kutuleetera mangu olunaku olw’essanyu. Tuleme kuggwaamu ssuubi, wadde okubuusabuusa. Nnamuziga bw’akyuka omulundi gumu, ali wansi ennyo aba waggulu. Zibasanze abaseka kaakano, kubanga balikungubaga ne bakaaba, okwenyumiriza kwabwe bwe kulifuulibwa okuswazibwa okutaggwaawo. Naye balina omukisa abatukuvu bonna abali mu nnaku, kubanga Katonda alibasanyusa.

LWAKI OSIGALA MU BUSIBE?

"Mukama Katonda wo anaakusaasiranga n’akuzza mu mbeera yo ennungi" Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 30:3

Abantu ba Katonda bennyini bayinza okwetunda mu busibe olw’ekibi. Kino kibala kikaawa nnyo, eky’omulandira ogukaawa ennyo. Nga buba busibe bwa ngeri ki, omwana wa Katonda bw’atundibwa mu kibi, n’asibwa enjegere za Setaani, n’aggyibwako eddembe lye, n’anyagibwa amaanyi ge mu kusaba, n’essanyu lye mu Mukama! Twekuume tuleme kuyingira mu busibe obw’engeri eyo; naye bwe kiba nga kimaze okututuukako, tuleme n’akatono okuggwaamu essuubi.

Naye tetuyinza kusibibwa mu buddu emirembe gyonna. Mukama Yesu yasasula omuwendo munene nnyo olw’okununulibwa kwaffe, n’olwekyo tayinza kutuleka mu mukono gw’omulabe. Ekkubo ery’eddembe lye lino: "Dda eri Mukama Katonda wo." Gye twasooka okusanga obulokozi gye tulibusangira nate. Wansi w’omusaalaba gwa Kristo nga twatula ekibi kyaffe, tulisangayo okusonyiyibwa n’okuwonyezebwa. Ate era, Mukama ayagala tugondere eddoboozi lye ng’ebyo byonna bye yatulagira bwe biri, era kino tulina okukikola n’omutima gwaffe gwonna n’emmeeme yaffe yonna, olwo obusibe bwaffe bulyoke buggweewo.

Emirundi mingi okwennyamira mu mwoyo n’ennaku ennyingi ez’emmeeme biggwaawo amangu ddala nga tulese ebifaananyi byaffe ne tuvuunamira mu buwulize mu maaso ga Katonda omulamu. Tetulina kubeera basibe. Tusobola okuddayo mu bukungu bwa Sayuuni, era mangu ddala. Mukama, tuzze mu mbeera yaffe ennungi!

EDDAGALA LY’OBUGGYA

"Omutima gwo gulemenga okukwatirwa aboonoonyi obuggya, kyokka nyiikira okutya Mukama ebbanga lyonna. Mazima ddala onoobanga n’essuubi mu biseera eby’omu maaso, n’essuubi lyo eryo teririggwaawo" Engero 23:17, 18

Bwe tulaba ababi nga bagaggawala, tutera okubakwatirwa obuggya. Bwe tuwulira oluyoogaano lw’okujaguza kwabwe, ng’omwoyo gwaffe gwe guzitowa, tubeera nga tulowooza nti bo be balina obulungi. Kino kya busirusiru era kya kibi. Singa tubamanyi obulungi, era naddala singa tujjukira enkomerero yaabwe, twandibasaasidde.

Eddagala ly’obuggya liri mu kubeera nga tumanyi bulijjo nti Katonda ali naffe, nga tumusinza era nga tussa ekimu naye olunaku lwonna, olunaku ne bwe lulabika nga luwanvu lutya. Eddiini ey’amazima esitula emmeeme n’egitwala mu kifo ekya waggulu, okusalawo gye kufuukira okutegeerekeka obulungi, n’okwegomba gye kulinnyisibwa. Eggulu bwe lyeyongera mu bulamu bwaffe, ensi gye tweyongera obutagyegomba. Okutya Katonda kugoba obuggya bw’abantu.

Ekitta obuggya ddala kwe kulowooza n’obukkakkamu ku biseera eby’omu maaso. Obugagga n’ekitiibwa by’abatatya Katonda kirabika kya bwereere. Okulabika kuno okw’amalala kumyansa okumala essaawa emu, n’oluvannyuma ne kuzikira. Omwonoonyi agaggawadde afuna ki mu bugagga bwe omusango bwe gumutuukako? Naye omuntu atya Katonda, enkomerero ye ya mirembe na mukisa, era tewali n’omu ayinza kumunyaga ssanyu lye; kale, aleke obuggya, ajjule okumatira okuwoomerera.

EKIBI KIREME KUSIGALAWO

"Tewaabeerengawo kintu na kimu ku ebyo ebinaabanga bimaze okukolimirwa ky’onoosangibwanga nakyo, bwe butyo obusungu bwa Mukama obunaabanga obungi ennyo bunakkakkananga; anaakukwatirwanga ekisa, n’akulaganga okwagala kwe, n’akwongeranga okwala, nga bwe yalayirira bajjajjaabo" Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 13:17

Isirayiri yalina okuwangula ebibuga ebyasinza ebifaananyi, n’okuzikiriza omunyago gwonna, nga batwala ekintu kyonna ekyayonoonebwa okusinza ebifaananyi ng’ekintu ekikolimiddwa ekiteekwa okwokebwa omuliro. Kale, Abakristaayo balina okuyisa ekibi eky’engeri zonna mu ngeri y’emu. Tetuteekwa kukkiriza mpisa mbi n’emu kusigalawo. Kaakano lutalo lwa kufa n’okuwona n’ebibi eby’engeri zonna n’obunene bwonna, oba eby’omubiri, oba eby’ebirowoozo, oba eby’omwoyo. Okuleka ekibi kuno tetukutwala ng’okusaanira okusaasirwa, naye tukutwala ng’ekibala eky’ekisa kya Katonda, kye tutayagala kubulwa n’akatono.

Katonda bw’atufuula abatasaasira bibi byaffe, olwo aba atusaasira nnyo. Bwe tusunguwalira ekibi, Katonda aba takyatusunguwalira. Bwe twongera okufuba okulwanyisa obutali butuukirivu, Mukama yongera emikisa gyaffe. Ekkubo ery’emirembe, ery’okukula, ery’obukuumi, n’ery’essanyu mu Kristo Yesu liri mu kugoberera ebigambo bino: "Tewaabeerengawo kintu na kimu ku ebyo ebinaabanga bimaze okukolimirwa ky’onoosangibwanga nakyo." Mukama, ndongoosa leero. Okusaasirwa, okukulaakulana, okwala, n’essanyu, mazima biriweebwa abo abaggyawo ekibi n’obumalirivu obw’amaanyi.

ABAKOZI BEETAAGIBWA

"Nammwe mugende mukole mu nnimiro yange ey’emizabbibu, era nnaabasasula empeera ebasaanira" Matayo 20:7

Weewaawo, mu nnimiro ya Kristo ey’emizabbibu mulimu omulimu gw’abakaddiye. Y’essaawa ekkumi n’emu, naye era akkiriza tukole. Nga kino kisa kya ngeri ki! Mazima buli musajja omukadde asaanidde okwanguyiriza okukkiriza okuyita kuno! Abantu bwe bakaddiwa, tewaba n’omu abeetaaga ng’abakozi; bagenda okuva mu dduuka erimu okudda mu ddala, ba nnannyini mirimu ne batunuulira envi zaabwe, ne banyeenya emitwe. Naye Yesu apangisa abakadde, era abasasula n’empeera ennungi! Kino kya kusaasira ddala. Mukama, yamba abakaddiye okwewaayo mu kuweereza kwo awatali kulwa n’essaawa emu.

Naye Mukama alisasula abakadde abaweddemu amaanyi empeera? Tokibuusabuusa. Agamba nti alikuwa ekigwanidde bw’onookola mu nnimiro ye. Mazima alikuwa ekisa wano n’ekitiibwa eyo. Alikuwa okubudaabudibwa kaakano n’okuwummula ekigenda okujja; amaanyi agenkana olunaku lwo, n’okulaba ekitiibwa ekiro eky’okufa bwe kirituuka. Ebyo byonna Mukama Yesu alibiwa buwi omukadde akyuse nga bw’abiwa oyo ayingira mu kuweereza kwe mu buvubuka bwe.

Ka ntegeeze kino omusajja omukadde oba omukazi omukadde atannalokoka, era nsabe Mukama akiwe omukisa, ku lwa Yesu. Abantu ab’engeri eyo mbasanga wa? Nja kubeera mulindaala okubanoonya, mbabuulire amawulire n’ekisa.

OKWESIGA KUTEGEEZA SSANYU

"Mu ye emitima gyaffe mwe gijaguliza, kubanga twesiga erinnya lye ettukuvu" Zabbuli 33:21

Omulandira gw’okukkiriza guzaala ekimuli ky’essanyu ery’omu mutima. Tuyinza obutasooka kusanyuka, naye lijja mu kiseera kyalyo. Twesiga Mukama nga tunakuwadde, era mu kiseera ekituufu addamu obwesige bwaffe mu ngeri nti okukkiriza kwaffe kufuuka kutuukirira, ne tusanyukira Mukama. Okubuusabuusa kuzaala okweraliikirira, naye okwesiga kutegeeza ssanyu ku nkomerero.

Obukakafu Omuwandiisi wa Zabbuli bw’ayogera mu lunyiriri luno mu butuufu kisuubizo ekikwatiddwa mu mikono gy’obwesige obutukuvu. Nga twetaaga ekisa okukifuula ekyaffe! Bwe tuba nga tetusanyuka mu kaseera kano, naye tujja kusanyuka, nga Katonda wa Dawudi bw’ali Katonda waffe mu butuufu.

Tufumiitirize ku linnya lya Mukama ettukuvu, tulyoke tumwesige obulungi era tusanyuke mangu. Mu mpisa ze mutukuvu, mwenkanya, wa mazima, wa kisa, mwesigwa era takyukakyuka. Katonda ow’engeri eyo tasaanidde kwesigibwa? Wa magezi gonna, ayinzabyonna, era abeera buli wamu; tetuyinza kumwesiga n’essanyu? Weewaawo, tujja kukikola kaakano, era tukikole awatali kwekengera. Yakuwa-Yire alitugabirira, Yakuwa-Salumu aliweereza emirembe, Yakuwa-Tsidkenu alituwa obutuukirivu, Yakuwa-Samma alibeera kumpi emirembe gyonna, era mu Yakuwa-Nissi tuliwangula buli mulabe. Abo abamanyi erinnya lyo banaakwesiganga; n’abo abakwesiga banaakusanyukiranga, Ayi Mukama.

TYA KATONDA YEKKA

"Kyetuva twogera n’obuvumu nti, 'Mukama ye mubeezi wange, siityenga, omuntu ayinza kunkola ki?'" Abaebbulaniya 13:6

Olw’okuba Katonda talitulekanga era talitwabulira n’akatono, bye tulina bisaanidde okutumala. Mukama bw’aba waffe, tetuyinza kusigala nga tetulina mukwano, oba obugagga, oba ekifo eky’okubeeramu.

Empisa ya Mukama kwe kutaagulataagula nga tannawonya. Kuno kwe kwagala okw’amazima okw’omutima gwe, era kwe kulongoosa okukakafu okw’omukono gwe. Era aleetako ebiwundu nga tannabinyiga, kubanga bwe kitaba bwe kityo gwandibadde mulimu gutali mukakafu. Amateeka gakulembera Enjiri; okuwulira obwetaavu kukulembera okubuweebwa.

Tuteekwa okubuulira n’obukkakkamu bwe, obuvumu bwe, n’okwagala kwe; kubanga ekyo kye kyama ky’okuwangula emitima gy’abantu. Tuteekwa okukola wansi w’okufukibwako amafuta okw’obwakatonda, nga twesigama ku Mwoyo Omutukuvu. Bwe tutyo, nga tugoberera Yesu, so nga tetumukulemberamu, wadde okumuvaako, tuliba bavubi b’abantu.

OKULENGERA OKUTUKUVU

"Naye mbagamba nti, okuva ne kaakano mugenda kulaba Omwana w’Omuntu ng’atudde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, ng’akomawo ku bire eby’eggulu." Matayo 26:64

Ayi Mukama, wali mu mbeera yo esinga okuba ey’awansi bwe wayimirizibwa mu maaso g’abakuyigganya ng’omuzzi w’emisango! Naye amaaso g’okukkiriza kwo gaasobola okulengera okuyita mu kuswazibwa kwo okw’ekiseera ekyo ne gatuuka mu kitiibwa kyo eky’omu maaso. Bigambo ki bino, "Naye -- okuva ne kaakano"! Nnandyagadde okukoppa okulengera kwo okutukuvu, ne wakati mu bwavu, oba obulwadde, oba okuwaayiriza, nange ŋŋambe nti, "Naye -- okuva ne kaakano." Mu kifo ky’obunafu, olina obuyinza bwonna; mu kifo ky’ensonyi, ekitiibwa kyonna; mu kifo ky’okusekererwa, okusinzibwa kwonna. Omusaalaba gwo tegusiikirizza kumasamasa kw’engule yo, so n’amalusu tegoonoonye bulungi bwa maaso go. Wabula gamba nti, ogulumizibwa era oweebwa ekitiibwa n’okusingawo olw’okubonaabona kwo.

Kale, Mukama, nange nnandyagadde okufuna obuvumu okuva mu "okuva ne kaakano." Nnandyerabidde okubonaabona kwa kaakano mu buwanguzi obw’omu maaso. Nnyamba ng’onnuŋŋamya mu kwagala kwa Kitaawo ne mu bugumiikiriza bwo ggwe kennyini, bwe ntyo bwe nsekererwa olw’erinnya lyo nneme kunyeenyezebwa, wabula ndowooze nnyo n’okusingawo ku by’omu maaso, era, bwe ntyo, ndowooze kitono ku bya leero. Mangu ddala nnaaba naawe ne ndaba ekitiibwa kyo. Noolwekyo, sikwatibwa nsonyi, wabula ŋŋamba mu mmeeme yange ey’omunda ddala nti, "Naye -- okuva ne kaakano."

"MUGUME"

"Mu nsi muno mujja kubonaabona, naye mugume, kubanga Nze mpangudde ensi." Yokaana 16:33

Ebigambo bya Mukama wange bya mazima ku bikwata ku kubonaabona. Nnina omugabo gwange ogwakwo awatali kubuusabuusa kwonna. Omuggo ogukuba eŋŋaano tegwawanikibwa wala, so sisobola kusuubira nti gulissibwa wabbali nga nkyagalamidde mu gguuliro. Nsobola ntya okusuubira okuba nga ndi waka mu nsi y’omulabe, okusanyuka nga ndi mu buwaŋŋanguse, oba okuwummula nga ndi mu ddungu? Kino si kiwummulo kyange. Kino kye kifo eky’ekikoomi, n’ekyuma eky’okuweesa, n’ennyondo. Ebyantuukako bikwatagana n’ebigambo bya Mukama wange.

Nneetegereza bw’andagira nti "mugume." Zinsanze! Ntera nnyo okuggwaamu essuubi. Omwoyo gwange gwanguwa okukka bwe ngezesebwa ennyo. Naye siteekwa kuwaayo eri enneewulira eno. Mukama wange bw’andagira okuguma, siteekwa kwewaayo kuggwaamu maanyi.

Nsonga ki gy’akozesa okunzizaamu amaanyi? Bwe buwanguzi bwe ye kennyini. Agamba nti, "Nze mpangudde ensi." Olutalo lwe lwali luzibu nnyo okusinga olwange. Sinnalwanagana kutuusa ku kuyiwa musaayi. Lwaki nziggwaamu essuubi ery’okuwangula? Laba, mmeeme yange, omulabe yamala dda okuwangulwa. Nnwanyisa omulabe eyakubibwa dda. Ayi nsi, Yesu yamala dda okukuwangula; ne mu nze, olw’ekisa kye, alikuwangula nate. Noolwekyo ngumye, ne nnyimbira Mukama wange awangula.
