Okulabirira Abalala: Okusembeza Abagenyi n'Okusaasira

"Temwerabiranga kusembeza bagenyi: kubanga bwe batyo abamu baasembeza bamalayika nga tebamanyi." Abaebbulaniya 13:2 (KJV) Omutima gw'okukkiriza okw'Ekikristaayo kwe kwagala — okwagala Katonda n'okwagala muliraanwa. Yesu yagamba nti ebiragiro bino ebibiri bye biriimu amateeka gonna ne bannabbi. Era emu ku ngeri ennungi ennyo omukazi Omukristaayo mw'ayoleka okwagala kuno ye kusembeza abagenyi n'okusaasira abalala. Aggulawo amaka ge. Agabana emmere ye. Akyalira abalwadde. Alabirira nnamwandu ne mulekwa.

Ayoleka okwagala kwa Yesu mu ngeri ez'omu bikolwa, ezirabika.

Obuwangwa bw'omu Buvanjuba bwa Afirika okuva edda bwassaamu ekitiibwa okusembeza abagenyi. Omugenyi ali ku mulyango asembezebwa. Emmere egabanwa ne bwe wabaawo ntono. Omukyala tasindikibwa nga tanywedde na kikombe kya caayi. Kino kirabo kirungi eky'obuwangwa bwaffe ekituukagana bulungi n'okuyigiriza kw'Ebyawandiikibwa. Naye tubeera mu biseera empisa zino ez'edda mwe zinyigirizibwa. Obulamu bweyongedde okuba obw'amaanyi. Abantu babeera mu bifo ebiggaddwa n'enkomera. Okutya abagenyi kweyongedde. Abakazi bangi bagamba nti tebalina bbanga lya balala. Toleka mpisa z'ensi kufuba mpisa eno ey'Ekikristaayo. Okusembeza abagenyi buweereza.

Ebyawandiikibwa bijjudde ebyokulabirako by'abakazi abaalabirira abalala. Lowooza ku Lakabu ow'e Yeriko. Teyazaalibwa mu bantu ba Katonda. Yali abadde mu bulamu obw'ekibi. Naye abakessi babiri Abayisirayiri bwe bajja mu kibuga kye, yabakweka ku kasolya k'ennyumba ye n'abakuuma. Yaatula okukkiriza kwe mu Katonda wa Isirayiri. Olw'okusembeza kwe okw'obuvumu, yawonya ab'ennyumba ye bonna Yeriko bwe kyagwa. Era yafumbirwa Salumooni, n'afuuka nnyina wa Bowaazi, jjajja omukulu wa Kabaka Dawudi, era omu ku bajjajja ba Yesu Kristo yennyini. Omukazi alina omutima ogusaasira, ne bwe kiba nti obulamu bwe obwayita tebwali bulongoofu, asobola okufuuka maama mu lunyiriri lwa Masiya.

Lowooza ku nnamwandu ow'e Zerefaasi mu 1 Bassekabaka essuula 17. Mu kiseera ky'enjala embi ennyo, nnabbi Eriya yajja ku mulyango gwe n'asaba amazzi n'emmere. Yamuddamu nti yalina lubatu lumu lwokka olw'obuwunga n'amafuta matono, era yali yeeteekateeka okufumba emmere ey'oluvannyuma ku lulwe ne mutabani we nga tebannafa. Naye olw'ekigambo kya Eriya, yagabana ku katono ke yalina. N'ekyamagero ne kitandika.

Enkumbo y'obuwunga teyaggwaawo, so n'eccupa y'amafuta teyakalira, okumala ennaku nnyingi. Bw'owaayo ekyo ky'olina eri Mukama n'abaddu be, Katonda akyaza. Toyogera nti "Sirina kya kuwaayo."

Waayo ekyo ky'olina, olabe Mukama ky'anaakola.

Lowooza nate ku mukazi Omusunemi, mu 2 Bassekabaka essuula 4. Yalaba nnabbi Erisa ng'ayita mu kibuga kye. Yamuyita okulya. Yamutegeera nga musajja wa Katonda. Yatuuka n'okumuzimbira akasenge akatono ku kasolya, alyoke awummulirengamu buli lw'anaayitanga. Olw'okusembeza kwe okw'obwesigwa, Katonda yamuwa omwana ow'obulenzi ng'omugumba, era n'azuukiza omwana oyo mu bafu bwe yafa oluvannyuma. Omukazi aggulira amaka ge abaddu ba Katonda talibulako mukisa gwa Katonda.

Lowooza ku Malyamu ne Maliza mu Besaniya. Amaka gaabwe gaali kifo Yesu yennyini gye yawulira ng'asembezeddwa era ng'ayagalibwa. Maliza yaweereza n'obunyiikivu bungi. Malyamu yatuula ku bigere bye n'ayiga okuva gy'ali. Yesu yayagalanga okujja mu maka gaabwe. Yasula nabo. Yaliira nabo. Yakaabira ku ntaana ya muganda waabwe. Era n'azuukiza Laazaalo mu bafu. Okusembeza kwabwe kwaggulawo oluggi olw'ekimu ku byamagero ebisinga obukulu mu Byawandiikibwa byonna. Kyamagero ki Katonda ky'ayinza okukola mu maka go, singa ogaggulira Ye?

Lowooza nate ku Dorukasi, eyatungira bannamwandu engoye. Lowooza ku Malyamu ow'e Yerusaalemi mu Ebikolwa essuula 12, ennyumba ye gye baakozesa ng'ekifo eky'okukuŋŋaanirangamu eky'ekkanisa ey'edda. Lowooza ku Foyibe, omuweereza w'ekkanisa e Kenkereya, eyayamba bangi. Omukazi ku mukazi, olupapula ku lupapula, Ebyawandiikibwa bissaamu ekitiibwa abo abaalabirira abalala.

Ka njogere mu ngeri ey'omu bikolwa. Osembeza otya abagenyi era osaasira otya mu bulamu bwo leero?

Ggulawo amaka go. Toyetaaga nnyumba nnene. Toyetaaga bintu bya bbeeyi. Toyetaaga kufumba mmere nnyingi. Ky'oyetaaga mutima ogusembeza. Yita omuntu okuva mu kkanisa ku kyekulyo eky'oku Ssande — oboolyawo nnamwandu, oba omuvubuka abeera yekka, oba omubuulizi omugenyi, oba muliraanwa atannaba kukkiriza. Gabana ku by'ofumbye. Saba nga temunnaalya. Baleke balabe ab'omu maka go era bawulire okwagala kwa Kristo mu maka go.

Kyalira abalwadde. Abantu bangi mu bitundu byaffe balwadde — omusujja gw'ensiri, akawuka ka mukenenya (HIV), kookolo, akafuba, n'endwadde eza bulijjo ez'obulamu. Okukyalirwa muganda waffe Omukristaayo, n'ekigambo ky'okusaba era oboolyawo n'ekirabo ekitono eky'emmere oba ebibala, kiyinza okuba ekizzaamu amaanyi ekinene.

Yesu bwe yayogera ku kusala omusango, yagamba nti, "Nnali mulwadde, ne munnambula." Bw'okyalira abalwadde mu linnya lye, oba okyalira Mukama yennyini.

Jjukira bannamwandu. Bannamwandu mu bitundu byaffe emirundi mingi bayolekagana n'okulwanirira okunene. Bayinza okufiirwa ettaka lyabwe. Bayinza okugobebwa mu bantu baabwe. Bayinza okuwulira nga beerabiddwa. Ebyawandiikibwa bitugamba nti eddiini entukuvu era etetaba mu bibi mu maaso ga Katonda Kitaffe y'eno, okulambula bamulekwa ne bannamwandu mu kubonaabona kwabwe. Noonya nnamwandu mu kkanisa yo. Mukyalire. Musabire wamu naye. Muyambe bw'osobola. Onooweebwa omukisa okusinga ky'owaddeyo.

Labirira bamulekwa. Yuganda ne Afirika ey'Obuvanjuba birimu bamulekwa bangi — abamu olwa akawuka ka mukenenya n'obulwadde bwa siriimu, abamu olw'entalo, abamu olw'obwavu. Ekkanisa ya Yesu Kristo y'esaanidde okusooka okulabirira abaana bano. Oyinza obutasobola kusembeza mulekwa mu maka go, naye osobola okuyamba. Sasula ebisale by'essomero ery'omwana bw'oba osobola. Kyalira ekifo abaana bamulekwa gye babeera. Sabira abaana abaliyo. Baleetere engoye oba emmere. Baagale mu linnya lya Yesu.

Gololera abaavu emikono. Ggwe kennyini oyinza obutaba na bingi. Naye bulijjo waliwo omuntu omwavu okukusinga. Gabana ku ky'olina. Nnamwandu ali mu yeekaalu yawaayo obupeesa bubiri obutono, Yesu n'agamba nti yawaddeyo okusinga abagagga bonna. Si muwendo. Mutima.

Sembeza abagenyi mu kkanisa yo. Omuntu omupya bw'ajja mu kuŋŋaaniro lyammwe, genda omulamuse. Musembeze. Mubuuze erinnya lye. Muyite ewuwo okulya. Abantu bangi babuze okuva mu makkanisa kubanga tewaali n'omu eyayogera nabo bwe bajja. Kino toleka kabaawe mu kkanisa yo.

Wuliriza. Oluusi obuweereza obusinga obukulu bw'oyinza okuwaayo si mmere oba ssente wabula ekirabo ky'okutega okutu okuwuliriza. Muganda waffe eyeetisse omugugu ayinza okwetaaga omuntu amuwulirize olugero lwe, amukaabire, amusabire. Beera omuntu oyo.

Ka nkubuulire ku Mukristaayo eyaweereza mu Afirika eyayoleka okusaasira okw'ekitalo. Mary Slessor, omumisonaali Omusukotu, gwe twayogeddeko emabega, yasembeza abaana bangi abaali bandekeddwa mu Nayijeriya.

Mu kiseera ekimu yalina bamulekwa mwenda abaabeeranga naye, abaana abandifudde singa teyabalabirira.

Yali awandiise nti okwagala kw'omukazi kuyinza okuwonya kumpi buli kintu. Kino si kwogera kwa kusukkuluma olw'enneewulira.

Okwagala kw'omukazi Omukristaayo, ajjudde Omwoyo Omutukuvu, ge maanyi ag'amaanyi agawonya mu nsi emenyese.

Ekirowoozo eky'enkomerero. Okusembeza abagenyi n'okusaasira birina ensalo, era tuteekwa okuba abagezi. Toyinza kuyamba buli muntu. Osaanidde okusooka okulabirira ab'omu maka go. Osaanidde okwekuuma ggwe n'ab'omu maka go eri abo abaagala okukukola akabi. Naye munda mu nsalo ezo, bulijjo waliwo ebingi by'oyinza okukola okusinga by'okola kaakano. Saba Mukama akulage omuntu omu, amaka gamu, nnamwandu omu, mulekwa omu, muliraanwa omu, gw'ayagala ofukemu mu kiseera kino. Awo weewaayo eri obuweereza obwo n'essanyu.

Okusaba Kitaffe ow'okusaasira, mpa omutima ogusaasira. Zibula amaaso gange ndabe abo abanneetoolodde abali mu kwetaaga. Ggulawo emikono gyange ngabe kye nnina. Ggulawo amaka gange eri abo abeetaaga okusembezebwa. Ggulawo emimwa gyange nsabire abalwadde n'ababonaabona. Nnyamba okujjukira bannamwandu ne bamulekwa. Nnyamba okwagala muliraanwa wange nga bwe nneeyagala. Nfuule omukutu gw'okwagala kwo mu nsi emenyese. Mu linnya lya Yesu, eyasaasira ebibiina by'abantu, Amiina.
