Okuteekebwako Envumbo n’Okutuuzibwa

Tuteekwa okuddamu okulowooza ku nsonga enkulu ez’okuyigiriza kwa Pawulo mu bitundu ebyakulembera. Okuva mu ssuula 1 okutuuka ku 2:9, tulina okufuka okuwanvu okusatu okw’ennyimba okulaga obunyiikivu bw’omutume ku nsonga gye yayogerako. Ng’oggyeko okusaba okwayingizibwa wakati, essira lye alissa ku bugagga bw’emikisa gyaffe “mu Kristo”. Emikisa ebiri emikulu kwe kuba nga ‘tuteekeddwako envumbo mu Ye’ (1:13) n’okuba nga ‘tutuuzibbwa mu Ye’ (2:6). Kaakano tugenda kubyekenneenya n’obwegendereza. Byetaaga ‘okubalirwa gye tuli’ era ne tubyefunira, kwe kugamba nti tuteekwa okubinoonya n’obunyiikivu.

Okuteekebwako Envumbo mu Ye n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu ow’Ekisuubizo.

(1:13) “… Bwe mwamukkiriza, ne muteekebwako envumbo eya Mwoyo Mutukuvu eyasuubizibwa.”

Kino kye abayigirizwa kye baafuna ku Lunaku lwa Pentekooti, nga Yesu amaze okubalagira ‘okulindirira mu Yerusaalemi ekyo Kitaawe kye yasuubiza’ (Ebikolwa 1:4). Ekisuubizo kino kisangibwa mu Isaaya 44:3 (“Kubanga ndifuka amazzi ku ttaka eririna ennyonta n’enzizi ku ttaka ekkalu. Ndifuka Omwoyo wange ku zadde lyo, era n’omukisa gwange ku bazzukulu bo.”); Ezeekyeri 36:26,27 (“Ndibawa omutima omuggya era ne nteeka n’omwoyo omuggya mu mmwe….”); Yoweeri 2:28 (“…ndifuka Omwoyo wange ku bantu bonna. Batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe balitegeeza eby’omu maaso…”), era Yesu n’akyongerako mu Yokaana 7:39.

Peetero ekisuubizo kino yakitegeera, kubanga ajuliza Yoweeri mu kubuulira kwe okw’amaanyi ku Lunaku lwa Pentekooti, ng’ayongerako nti, “Awo bwe yagulumizibwa n’alaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, n’aweebwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu eyamusuubizibwa Kitaffe, n’alyoka atuwa kino nammwe kye mwerabiddeko era kye mwewuliriddeko.” (Ebikolwa 2:33) Abayigirizwa baali ‘bazaaliddwa omulundi ogwokubiri’ (baafuna obulamu obuggya) Yesu bwe yabafuuwako omukka ku Ssande eyaddirira okuzuukira kwe (Yokaana 20:22 – enthusao – mfuuwa munda). Awo baaweebwa obuyinza (exousia) okufuuka abaana ba Katonda (Yokaana 1:12). Ku Lunaku lwa Pentekooti baali ba kufuna amaanyi (dunamis) okuba abajulizi be (Ebikolwa 1:8). Abakkiriza bangi nnyo leero bakola mu maanyi aga exousia so si mu maanyi aga dunamis, aggo gokka agasobola okutusobozesa okuba abawanguzi be twayitibwa okuba. Dunamis kye kigambo eky’Oluyonaani gye tuggya ekigambo dynamite!

Pawulo bwe yajja e Efeso mu lugendo lwe olw’enkomerero olw’obuweereza, yabuuza abayigirizwa ab’ekitundu ekyo oba baali bafunye Omwoyo Omutukuvu bwe baakkiriza. Baali beenenyezza, ne bafuuka abakkiriza, naye baali tebannateekebwako ‘envumbo’. Pawulo bwe yabassaako emikono gye, baafuna obumanyirivu bwe bumu abayigirizwa bwe baafuna mu Yerusaalemi ku Lunaku lwa Pentekooti. (Ebikolwa 19:1-7).

Eri ekkanisa ey’edda, okuteekebwako envumbo ey’Omwoyo (‘okubatizibwa n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu’ – Ebikolwa 1:5) kye kyali kisuubirwa era kye kyabeeranga obumanyirivu obwa bulijjo obw’abakkiriza. Eri abo abaali baleseeko okuyigiriza kuno, Pawulo yandiwandiikira ebbaluwa ng’endowooza ye eri Abaruumi – laba essuula 7 olw’oluyombo oluvaayo ng’omuntu akola mu maanyi aga exousia gokka, era ogigeraageranye n’essuula 8 okugenda mu maaso, gy’ayogerera bulijjo ku buweereza bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu obuli munda mu ffe.

Kale, omuntu atuuka atya ku kutegeera kuno oba n’afuna ‘okuteekebwako envumbo’ kuno? Kimwetaagisa okukkiriza nti okuteekebwako envumbo kuno kwaffe – waateekwa okubaawo okwegomba n’okuyaayaanira okujjuzibwa Omwoyo. Abayigirizwa ab’edda baalagirwa ‘okulwawo’ mu Yerusaalemi. Kino si kulindirira kwokka n’obugumiikiriza, wabula kyali kiseera ekyamalibwa mu kusuubira okunyiikivu, mu kusaba ne mu kusinza. Laba Lukka 11:9-13 – ebigambo byonna ebisatu eby’ekikolwa biri mu kiseera eky’olubeerera – yongera okunoonya; yongera okusaba… era anaakuwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu.

Tuyitibwa okujja ‘n’emikono emirongoofu n’omutima omulongoofu’ bwe tuba twagala okuyingira mu maaso ge. Musa yayagala okumanya ekitiibwa kya Katonda, kyeyava alagirwa okwetegeka nga tannaba kweyanjula eri Mukama. (Laba Okuva 34:2).

Abaefeso 5:15-21 kitutegeeza nti obulamu obujjudde Omwoyo bukakasibwa (a) empisa ey’okusinza (olunyiriri 19); (b) empisa ey’okwebaza (olunyiriri 20); (c) empisa ey’obuweereza (olunyiriri 21). Oboolyawo twandyenyigidde mu mpisa zino ng’entandikwa ey’okufuna okujjula okwo.

Ai Omubudaabudi, ow’ekisa era omuwombeefu; Ai ejjiba ettukuvu ery’omu ggulu, mpaayo omutima gwange mu kwewaayo, nnindirira okukakasa okujjula kwo. Nfukako amafuta ag’essanyu n’okuwonya, mbatize n’amaanyi agava waggulu, Ai jjangu n’okujjula kwo n’envumbo yo, nga nvuunami wansi w’entebe y’ebigere byo. A B Simpson “Omuntu bw’ajjula Omwoyo, akimanya!” A W Tozer Katonda yatuzuukiriza wamu ne Kristo okuva mu kufa ne tufuna obulamu, era atutuuzizza mu bifo eby’omu ggulu, okumpi ne Kristo Yesu. (2:6) Okuba nga ‘tutuuzibbwa’ wamu ne Kitaffe kitegeeza okulekera awo okufuba kwaffe okumusanyusa. Yatwaniriza mu Kristo era kaakano tuyitibwa okuyingira mu “kiwummulo kye” (Abaebbulaniya 4:9). Tuyinza okusubwa ekiwummulo kino olw’obujeemu eri okuyitibwa okw’okukkiriza – okukubiriza kwe okuli munda mu ffe (Beb 4:11). “Kubanga oyo ayingira mu kiwummulo kya Katonda, awummula emirimu gye nga Katonda bwe yawummula ng’amaze emirimu gye.” (Beb 4:10)

Ekifaananyi ekirungi tukiweebwa okuva mu kutambulatambula kw’Abaana ba Isirayiri mu ddungu. Baali banunuddwa okuva mu Misiri n’obuddu bwayo bwonna n’abaduumizi ab’emirimu, ne bayitibwa okuyingira mu Kanani, ensi ey’ebisuubizo (bya Katonda). Olw’obutakkiriza bwabwe, baalina okutambulatambula okumala emyaka 40 mu ddungu nga tebannayingira nsi eyo wansi wa Yoswa.

Misiri kikiikirira obulamu bwaffe nga tetuli na Kristo – ‘omuntu ow’obuzaaliranwa’. Eddungu likiikirira ‘omuntu ow’omubiri’ – akkiriza naye nga tawummulidde mu ‘bifo eby’omu ggulu’ mu Kristo. Asomose Ennyanja Emyufu, abaduumizi be abaasooka gye baayawukanyizibwa okuva ku ye – kino nkiraba ng’omulimu gw’okubatizibwa mu mazzi (laba Abakkolosaayi 2:11, 12), naye nga tannayingira mu bigendererwa bya Katonda by’amutekedde. Kanani kikiikirira ebisuubizo bya Katonda, okuteekebwako envumbo ey’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, n’okutuuzibwa mu bifo eby’omu ggulu. Kye kifo eky’abasajja abawanvu ennyo n’okuwangula (ku bw’Omwoyo we, so si ku bufuba bwaffe!), eky’‘amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki’ n’okulya wamu naye. TEKIKIIKIRIRA ggulu oba obulamu oluvannyuma lw’okufa – wabula kisaanidde okubeera obumanyirivu bw’abakkiriza bonna KAAKANO.

Nwaanyisa okulwana kwange n’obuwanguzi bwe; obunafu bwange n’amaanyi ge; okwagala kwange n’okwagala kwe; okutegeera kwange n’okukkiriza kwe; omugugu gwange n’ekikoligo kye.

“Nakomererwa wamu ne Kristo; kyokka ndi mulamu, si ku bwange, wabula ku bwa Kristo abeera mu nze; era obulamu bwe nnina kaakano mu mubiri, mbulina lwa kukkiriza Omwana wa Katonda, eyanjagala ne yeewaayo yekka ku lwange.” (Bag 2:20) Tuteekwa okutegeera nti kino kye Katonda ky’ayagala gy’oli era gye ndi. Tuteekwa ‘okwebala’ nga tufudde eri ekibi (Bar 6:11) era nga tuli balamu eri Katonda. Tuteekwa okukuza ‘okubeera mu Kristo’ mu bifo eby’omu ggulu nga tuyita mu kusaba n’okusinza okwa bulijjo. Ffe nga tubeera mu Ye eyo, ne tulyoka tusobola okuwangula (ku maanyi ge) amaanyi gonna ag’ekizikiza agali ‘wansi w’ebigere bye’ (Bef 1:21, 22). Twala ekifo kyo mu bifo eby’omu ggulu kaakano.

Wadde ‘okutuuzibwa mu Kristo’ kwe kwamazima ag’enjigiriza ya Katonda, abakkiriza bangi nnyo tebabeera mu kifo ekyo.

Yesu yagamba nti, “Bwe munaabeeranga mu Nze…” ng’alaga nti kisoboka nnyo obutaba mu kukola bwe kityo. Singa ojja ewange, oyinza okwogera mu mazima nti, “Ntudde mu maka ga Gareth”, naye singa toyaniriza kuwaayo kwange okusigala nange, tosobola kwogera nti “Mbeera mu maka ga Gareth”! Abo ‘ababeera’ nange bagabana ku mmeeza yange n’okwesiima n’obumu bwe bireeta.

Eri abo ababeera mu Kristo, Yesu yasuubiza ebibala eby’Omwoyo ebikula: amaanyi mu kusaba n’obumu obw’oku lusegere. (Yokaana 15:7-11) Nandigambye nti guno gwe makulu ga Isaaya 40:31, ekigambo ky’Olwebbulaniya qavah (ekyavvuunulwa nti ‘okulindirira’ mu KJV) ekirina ensibuko ey’amakulu ‘okusibibwa wamu’. Osibiddwa nnyo wamu ne Mukama; kwe kugamba nti obeera mu Ye? Abo bokka abali bwe batyo “baliddamu buggya amaanyi gaabwe, balitumbiira n’ebiwaawaatiro ng’empungu; balidduka mbiro ne batakoowa, balitambula naye ne batazirika.”
