Okuweereza mu Kkanisa: Okuyitibwa Kwo mu Mubiri gwa Kristo

"Mbasaba mutwale bulungi Foibe mwannyinaffe, omuweereza w'ekkanisa eri e Kenkereya." Abaruumi 16:1 (KJV) Ekkanisa ya Yesu Kristo si kizimbe. Ye mubiri gwa Kristo — ekibiina eky'abakkiriza ekiramu era ekissa omukka, ekikolebwa abasajja n'abakazi, abato n'abakulu, abagagga n'abaavu, okuva mu buli kika na buli lulimi. Mukama Yesu ayagala Ekkanisa. Yeewaayo ku lwayo. Agiteekateeka ng'omugole omulongoofu. Era buli mukkiriza alina ekifo mu mubiri guno, ng'alina okuyitibwa okuweereza.

Mwannyinaze, oli wa mu Kkanisa. Toli mmemba atalina kye akola, ajja ku Ssande zokka okuliisibwa. Oli jjinja eddamu mu yeekaalu ya Katonda. Olina ebirabo eby'omwoyo. Olina obuweereza.

Ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti buli mukkiriza aweereddwa ekisa ng'ekigero eky'ekirabo kya Kristo bwe kiri. Katonda yakuteeka mu kkanisa yo ey'ewaka olw'ensonga.

Ka tutunuulire abamu ku bakazi mu Ndagaano Empya abaaweereza mu kkanisa ey'edda.

Foibe, mu Abaruumi essuula ekkumi n'omukaaga, ayogerwako ng'omuweereza — ekigambo ky'Oluyonaani ye diakonos, mwe tuggya ekigambo "dikoni". Pawulo amutenderezanga eri Abaruumi. Agamba nti abadde muyambi wa bangi, nga ne Pawulo yennyini mw'ali. Yeesigibwa okutwala ebbaluwa ya Pawulo ennene e Ruumi. Lowooza ku ekyo. Ebbaluwa eri Abaruumi — oboolyawo ebbaluwa ey'okusinga obukulu ku by'okutya Katonda eyali ewandiikiddwa — kirabika yaweebwayo omukono gw'omukazi. Foibe yali muweereza wa kkanisa.

Pulisikira, gwe twogeddeko dda, yaweerezanga awamu ne bba Akula mu bibuga bingi. Baaggulawo amaka gaabwe okuba ekifo eky'okukuŋŋaanirangamu ekkanisa. Baayigirizanga ebyawandiikibwa. Baakolanga ne Pawulo. Pawulo abayita bayambi be mu Kristo Yesu, abaawaayo obulago bwabwe olw'obulamu bwe.

Yuniya, naye mu Abaruumi essuula ekkumi n'omukaaga, ayitibwa "ow'ettutumu mu batume" — ekitegeeza nti ye ne munne Anduroniiko baamanyibwanga nnyo era nga bassibwamu ekitiibwa mu kibiina ky'abatume.

Yali wa kika kya Pawulo era yali asibiddwa awamu naye. Wano waaliwo omukazi eyabonaabona olw'enjiri era eyassibwamu ekitiibwa nnyo.

Malyamu ow'e Ruumi ayogerwako mu Abaruumi essuula ekkumi n'omukaaga ng'omu ku abo "abaatukoleramu ennyo."

Okukola ennyo. Tetumanyi ddala kye yakola, naye tumanyi nti yakolerera nnyo enjiri.

Ewodiya ne Suntuke, mu Abafiripi essuula ey'okuna, boogerwako nti baakolerera awamu ne Pawulo mu njiri.

Eky'ennaku, Pawulo era yalina okubakubiriza okuba n'omutima gumu mu Mukama, kubanga baalina obutakkiriziganya. N'abakazi abatya Katonda bayinza okugwa mu nnyombo, era kitugwanira okwekuuma ku ekyo. Naye ekisinga obukulu — baakolerera mu njiri awamu ne Pawulo.

Bawala abana aba Firipo omuvaanjuli baali bawa obunnabbi, ng'Ebikolwa essuula amakumi abiri mu emu bwe kigamba. Baali n'obuweereza obw'okwogera ekigambo kya Katonda.

Ba dikonisa ne bannamwandu ab'ekkanisa ey'edda baalina obuvunaanyizibwa obw'okusaba, okuyigiriza abakazi abalala, okulabirira bamulekwa n'abalwadde, n'okuweereza emibiri n'emyoyo gy'abakkiriza abalala. Bannamwandu abaali bawezezza emyaka nkaaga, abaali bafumbiddwa omusajja omu, abaali bakuzza abaana, abaali basembezezza abagenyi, abaali banaazizza abatukuvu ebigere, abaali bayambye ababonyaabonyezebwa — abakazi bano baawandiikibwa okuweereza Ekkanisa.

Okuva ku lubereberye, abakazi baabadde ba mugaso nnyo mu buweereza bw'Ekkanisa. Mukama Yesu yennyini yawagirwanga mu buweereza bwe obw'oku nsi ekibiina ky'abakazi abaatambulanga naye era abaamuwanga bye yeetaaganga — Malyamu Magudaleene, Yowaana muka Kuza, Susaana, n'abalala bangi.

Kaakano ka njogere mu ngeri ey'okukola. Osaanidde okuweereza otya mu kkanisa yo ey'ewaka?

Okusooka, weewaayo eri ekkanisa emu ey'ewaka. Mu biseera byaffe, Abakristaayo bangi bafuuse abaguzi mu kifo ky'okuba bamemba. Baseeyeeya okuva mu kkanisa emu okudda mu ndala. Batunuulira ebyokubuulira ku yintaneeti naye tebeegatta ku kibiina. Bajja nga kibasanyusizza ne basigala eka nga tekibasanyusizza. Mwannyinaze, guno si gwe mutindo gw'Ekyawandiikibwa. Zuula ekkanisa ekkiriza Baibuli. Weewaayo. Beera mwesigwa. Wagira omusumba n'abakulembeze.

Eky'okubiri, zuula ebirabo byo. Katonda awadde buli mukkiriza ebirabo eby'omwoyo. Abamu balina ekirabo eky'okuyigiriza. Abamu balina ekirabo eky'okusembeza abagenyi. Abamu balina ekirabo eky'okuzzaamu amaanyi. Abamu balina ekirabo eky'okutegeka. Abamu balina ekirabo eky'okusaasira. Abamu balina ekirabo eky'okugaba. Abamu balina ekirabo eky'obukulembeze. Weebuuze: Kiki kye njagala okukolera Mukama? Abalala bampa okwebaza ku ki?

Ndaba Katonda ng'ankozesa mu ki? Yogera n'omusumba wo, omukulembeze w'abakazi, n'emikwano gyo egyesigwa. Bayinza okulaba mu ggwe ebirabo by'otoyinza kwerabiramu.

Eky'okusatu, weereza we weetaagibwa. Waliwo obuweereza bungi mu kkanisa ey'ewaka, era obungi ku bwo bwetaaga nnyo abakazi. Obuweereza bw'essomero ery'Assande. Ekibiina ky'abayimbi. Ekibiina ky'abakazi. Ekibiina ky'okusembeza abagenyi. Obuweereza bw'okusaba. Obuweereza bw'okukyalira. Okuyonja ekkanisa. Okulabirira amaka g'omusumba. Obuweereza bw'abavubuka. Okubuulirira abagole abato. Obuweereza eri abalwadde n'abakungubaga. Tolindirira kusabibwa. Buuza abakulembeze gy'oyinza okuyamba, oluvannyuma weewaayo ku mulimu n'obwesigwa.

Eky'okuna, wagira omusumba wo ne mukyala we. Batwala omugugu munene. Bakusabira. Basoma ekiro okutuusa obudde bwe buwungeera nga bateekateeka ebyokubuulira. Bakyalira abalwadde. Baziika abafu. Babudaabuda abateganyizibwa. Basabire. Bazzeemu amaanyi n'ebigambo eby'ekisa. Bassemu ekitiibwa. Baleetere ebirabo eby'emmere oba enku bw'osobola. Bw'oba oli mukyala wa musumba ggwe kennyini, zuula bakyala ba basumba abalala olw'okuzzaawamu amaanyi, kubanga kuyitibwa okw'obwerere.

Eky'okutaano, gaba n'obugabirivu. Kyonna ky'osobola okugaba, gaba n'essanyu. Mukama ayagala oyo agaba n'essanyu. Waayo ekimu eky'ekkumi ng'ebyawandiikibwa bwe biyigiriza. Waayo ebiweebwayo eby'enjawulo ng'obwetaavu bunene. Wagira ababaka b'enjiri.

Yamba abo abali mu bwetaavu mu kibiina. Jjukira nti Katonda talina bbanja ku muntu — ky'ogaba, alikizzaawo, n'okusingawo.

Eky'omukaaga, ssaamu ekitiibwa obumu bw'omubiri. Toba omu ku bakazi abaleeta enjawukana mu kkanisa. Tosaasaanya lugambo ku musumba. Tobunya bigambo bya bulimba ku bamemba abalala. Tossaawo bibinja ebigoba abalala. Tova mu kkanisa omulundi ogusooka ekintu lwe kitagenda nga bw'oyagala.

Omubiri gwa Kristo gunyweezebwa okwagala n'okugumiikiriza. Beera oyo aleeta abantu awamu, so si oyo abaawukanya.

Eky'omusanvu, ka njongereko ekigambo ku kugondera obuyinza obw'omwoyo. Ebyawandiikibwa biyigiriza nti tuteekwa okugondera abo abatufuga mu Mukama, n'okwewaayo gye bali, kubanga bakuuma emyoyo gyaffe.

Kino tekitegeeza nti abasumba n'abakulembeze b'ekkanisa tebasobya. Basobya. Naye abakulembeze abatya Katonda bwe baba basalawo era nga baluŋŋamya ekkanisa, kkiriza obukulembeze bwabwe n'okwebaza. Teweefuula mulamuzi ku buli kubuulira na buli tteeka. Weesige Mukama okutereeza ekyetaaga okutereezebwa mu kiseera kye.

Ka mmalire essuula eno n'ekirowoozo. Mu Kuzuukuka kwa Afirika ey'Ebuvanjuba, ekimu ku bibala ebirungi kyali okuwulira ng'ekika mu kkanisa. Ab'oluganda ne bannyinaffe ddala baafuuka ba luganda ne bannyinaffe. Baayatulaganga ebibi eri bannaabwe. Baaseturagananga emigugu. Baasanyukiraganga awamu ne bakaabiraganga awamu. Eno y'ekkanisa Katonda gy'ayagala. Weebuuze — mbeera mu kukola ekika ekyo mu kkanisa yange? Ndi mukazi aleeta obubuguumavu, okwagala, n'obuweereza obw'obwesigwa eri omubiri gwa Kristo? Bw'oba bw'otyo, oweeza obusika bwa Foibe, Pulisikira, Malyamu, n'abakazi bonna abeesigwa abaakukulembera.

Okusaba Mukama Yesu, nkwebaza olw'Ekkanisa yo, omubiri gwa Kristo. Weebale okunteeka mu kibiina kyange eky'ewaka. Ndaga ebirabo by'ompadde. Ndaga we nsobola okuweereza.

Nfuula mwesigwa mu bintu ebitono ne mu ebinene. Nnyamba okwagala omusumba wange, okuwagira abakulembeze, okuzimba abakkiriza abalala, era obutabeera nsibuko ya njawukana. Kozesa emikono gyange, obudde bwange, eddoboozi lyange, amaka gange, n'ebintu byange, olw'okuzimba Obwakabaka bwo. Mu linnya lyo ery'amaanyi, Amiina.
