Ebiragiro bya Katonda eri Abalwadde

“Waliwo omulwadde mu mmwe? Kirungi atumye abakulembeze b’Ekkanisa, bamusabire, era bamusiige amafuta, nga bwe basaba Mukama amuwonye. Era okusaba kwabwe nga kuweereddwayo n’okukkiriza, kugenda kumuwonya, kubanga Mukama awonya. Singa obulwadde bwe bwava ku kibi kye yakola, Mukama agenda kumusonyiwa.” (Yakobo 5:14, 15).

Ekyawandiikibwa kino, okusinga ebirala byonna, kye kisinga okulangirira obulungi eri abalwadde kye balina okukola balyoke bawonyezebwe. Obulwadde n’ebivaamu bijjudde mu nsi. Kale nga ssanyu ddene omukkiriza okuyiga mu Kigambo kya Katonda ekkubo abalwadde mwe bayita okuwonyezebwa! Bayibuli etuyigiriza nti Katonda ayagala okulaba abaana be nga balamu bulungi. Omutume Yakobo tabuusabuusa kugamba nti “okusaba kwabwe nga kuweereddwayo n’okukkiriza, kugenda kumuwonya, kubanga Mukama awonya.” Mukama atuyigirize okuwuliriza n’okukkiriza mu bwesimbu ekyo Ekigambo kye kye kitugamba!

Weetegereze, okusooka, nti Yakobo wano ayawula wakati w’okubonaabona (oba ennaku) n’obulwadde. Agamba (olunyiriri 13): “Waliwo mu mmwe ali mu buzibu? Kirungi asabenga” (R.V.). Tategeeza kiki ekirina okusabibwa mu mbeera eyo; era n’okusingawo tagamba nti omuntu asabe okuggibwa mu kubonaabona. Nedda; okubonaabona okuyinza okuva mu bintu eby’ebweru eby’engeri nnyingi gwe mugabo gwa buli Mukristaayo. N’olwekyo tutegeere nti ekigendererwa kya Yakobo kwe kukulembera omukkiriza agezesebwa okusaba okununulibwa naye nga yeewaddeyo eri by’ayagala Katonda, era okusinga byonna okusaba okugumiikiriza, Yakobo kw’atwala ng’enkizo y’omukkiriza (Yakobo 1:2-4, 12; 5:7, 8).

Naye bw’atuuka ku bigambo bino, “Waliwo omulwadde mu mmwe?” Yakobo addamu mu ngeri ndala ddala. Kaakano ayogera n’obukakafu nti omulwadde ayinza okusaba okuwonyezebwa ng’amanyi nti agenda kukufuna, era nti Mukama ajja kumuwulira. N’olwekyo waliwo enjawulo nnene wakati w’okubonaabona n’obulwadde. Mukama Yesu yayogera ku kubonaabona ng’ekyetaagisa, Katonda ky’ayagala era ky’awa omukisa; so ng’ate ku bulwadde agamba nti kirina kuwonyezebwa. Okubonaabona okulala kwonna kutujjira kuva bweru, era kujja kukoma lwokka Yesu lw’aliwangula ekibi n’obubi ebiri mu nsi; naye obulwadde bubi obuli mu mubiri gwennyini, mu mubiri guno Kristo gwe yalokola gulyoke gufuuke yeekaalu y’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, era n’olwekyo gulina okuwonyezebwa amangu ddala ng’omukkiriza omulwadde afunye mu kukkiriza omulimu gw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, bwe bulamu bwennyini obwa Yesu mu ye.

Kiragiro ki ekiweebwa abalwadde wano? Atumye abakulembeze b’Ekkanisa, era abakulembeze bamusabire. Mu biseera bya Yakobo waaliwo abasawo, naye si gye bali omukkiriza omulwadde gy’alina okudda. Abakulembeze mu biseera ebyo be baali abasumba n’abakulembeze b’ekkanisa, abaayitibwa mu buweereza si lwa kuba nti baasoma mu masomero ga by’eddiini, wabula olw’okuba nti baali bajjudde Omwoyo Omutukuvu, nga bamanyiddwa nnyo olw’okutya Katonda n’olw’okukkiriza kwabwe. Lwaki omulwadde yali yeetaaga okubeerawo kwabwe? Mikwano gye tegyandisobodde kusaba? Gyandisobodde; naye si kyangu buli muntu okukozesa okukkiriza okufuna okuwonyezebwa, era awatali kubuusabuusa eyo y’emu ku nsonga lwaki Yakobo yayagala bayite abasajja abalina okukkiriza okunywevu era okukakafu. Ate era, baali bakiikirira eri omulwadde Ekkanisa, omubiri gwa Kristo gwonna awamu, kubanga obumu bw’abakkiriza bwe buyita Omwoyo okukola n’amaanyi. Mu bufunze, baali balina, nga bagoberera ekyokulabirako ky’Omusumba w’endiga omukulu, okulabirira ekisibo nga ye bw’akikola, okwegatta n’omulwadde, okutegeera ennaku ye, n’okufuna okuva eri Katonda amagezi ageetaagisa okumuyigiriza n’okumuzzaamu amaanyi okunyiikirira mu kukkiriza. Kale abakulembeze b’Ekkanisa be baakwasibwa okuwonya abalwadde, era bo, abaweereza ba Katonda asonyiwa obutali butuukirivu era awonya endwadde (Zabbuli 103), be bayitibwa okutuusa ku balala ebirabo by’ekisa kya Mukama eby’emmeeme n’eby’omubiri.

Ekisembayo, waliwo ekisuubizo ekisingawo okuba eky’obutereevu— eky’okuwonyezebwa; omutume akyogerako ng’ekitalema kuva mu kusaba kw’okukkiriza. Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti “okusaba kwabwe nga kuweereddwayo n’okukkiriza, kugenda kumuwonya, kubanga Mukama awonya.” Ekisuubizo kino kirina okukoleeza mu buli mukkiriza okwagala n’okusuubira okuwonyezebwa. Bwe tukkiriza ebigambo bino mu bwesimbu era nga bwe byawandiikibwa, tetwandirabye mu byo ekisuubizo ekitaliiko kkomo, ekiwa okuwonyezebwa buli anaasaba mu kukkiriza? Mukama atuyigirize okwekenneenya Ekigambo kye n’okukkiriza kw’omutima ogukkiririza ddala!
