Okwogera okw'Okubiri

Kale, abooluganda, mbeegayirira olw'okusaasira kwa Katonda, muwaayo emibiri gyammwe okuba ssaddaaka ennamu, entukuvu, esanyusa Katonda, kwe kusinza kwammwe okw'omwoyo. Temwefaananyirizanga ba mulembe guno: naye mukyusibwe olw'okuzza obuggya amagezi gammwe, mulyoke mukakase Katonda ky'ayagala, ekirungi, ekisanyusa, era ekituukiridde. — Abaruumi 12:1-2 Nnadde nfumiitiriza ku kigambo ekiri mu kyawandiikibwa, "mulyoke"—"mulyoke mukakase Katonda ky'ayagala, ekirungi, ekisanyusa, era ekituukiridde." Okukulaakulana kuno mu bulamu obw'Ekikatonda, awamu n'okulala kwonna, okutuuka ku nkomerero, okutuusa lwe tutuuka mu kitiibwa, kulina ebisaanyizo byakwo. Ekisaanyizo eky'okuva mu mbeera ey'omuntu ow'ensi atazuukuse n'okutuuka ku mbeera ey'omwonoonyi akkiriza nti mwonoonyi, kwe kukkiriza ekitangaala. Katonda azuukusa era amulisiza obukumi n'obukumi, ate enkumi n'enkumi bagaana ekitangaala—amangwago ne bakiggyawo—ne bazibiriza amaaso gaabwe—ne bagaana ekitangaala. Bano baddayo mu kizikiza ekingi n'okusingawo, era beeyongera okwonoona n'obunyiikivu obusinga bwe baali baakola edda; naye abo abakkiriza ekitangaala batuuka mu mbeera ey'emyoyo egizuukuse egimulisiddwa.

Ekisaanyizo ekiddako eky'okukulaakulana okuva mu mbeera y'omwonoonyi alwanirira, ayagala okuva ku bibi bye n'okugoberera Kristo, kwe kukkiriza, okukkiririza mu Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, alyoke afune okusonyiyibwa ebibi. Era ku buli kukulaakulana okugenda mu maaso, singa omukkiriza ayagala okuyisa emisingi egisooka, singa ayagala okukula wadde akatono, waliwo ekisaanyizo ekiri mu kukulaakulana okwo! Okugeza, singa, oluvannyuma lw'okukyuka, Omwoyo Omutukuvu amubikkulira ekintu ekitakwatagana—ky'ataalabanga edda—ekisaanyizo eky'okukulaakulana ekigere ekirala kwe kwegaana ekintu ekyo!—okukkiriza ekitangaala n'okukigondera; era bw'akyekweka n'atakikkiriza wadde okukigondera, taakulaakulane nate okutuusa lw'anaakikola. Waliwo Abakristaayo enkumi n'enkumi, mu kifo ky'okukulaakulana, be baddayo ennyuma okuva lwe baakyuka, kubanga baagaana okutuukiriza ekisaanyizo, "MULYOKE" bakakase okwagala kwa Katonda okulungi, okusanyusa, era okutuukiridde.

Waaliwo ekisaanyizo. Bandikakasizza okwagala kwa Katonda singa tewaali kisaanyizo; naye waaliwo ekisaanyizo kye baagaana okutuukiriza; kale we bakwatira, we baabeeranga—oba, ekisingako, baddayo ennyuma.

Kale, kaakano, wano waliwo ekisaanyizo ku kukulaakulana kuno okukulu era okw'ekitiibwa okuva mu mbeera ey'okuweebwa obutuukirivu, gye, wadde ng'omukkiriza aweebwa amaanyi ku kibi, ekibi kiryoke kireme okumufuga, naye oluusi, olw'emirimu gyakyo egy'omunda, agwa wansi w'amaanyi gaakyo—okukulaakulana okuva mu mbeera eno ey'okwonoona n'okwenenya okutuuka ku mutindo ogwo omukkiriza gy'abeerera mu Kristo n'ataayonoona, n'ayagala Katonda n'omutima gwe gwonna, n'emmeeme ye yonna, n'amagezi ge gonna, n'amaanyi ge gonna—ng'agatta ne Kristo bw'atyo nti, ng'atambulira mu maanyi g'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, atuukiriza etteeka ery'okwagala mwe yateekebwa—okukulaakulana, njogera, okuva mu mbeera eyo ey'okugulumba n'okukka, okuyingira n'okufuluma, okugwa n'okugolokoka, okutuuka ku mutindo guno ogwa waggulu, nakwo kulina ebisaanyizo byakwo.

Mwandyambuseeko eyo leero singa si bisaanyizo; abasinga obungi ku mmwe mwandyambuseeko awamu, ng'Abayisirayeeri bwe bandiyingidde mu Kanani, singa tewaali kisaanyizo. Sirabangako muntu musirusiru nga tayagala kubeera mu nsi ennungi; mazima bayagala okubeeramu, era bandiyingidde ne bafuna omubisi gw'enjuki n'amata, naye waliwo ebisaanyizo! Kale nno, wano mukirabira ddala mu bweru, era mukiraba mu byawandiikibwa ebirala bingi mu ngeri y'emu ey'olwatu.

Tewali kintu Omwoyo Omutukuvu ky'assaako essira erisinga nga bw'assaako ku kuteeka ebisaanyizo. Kale bye biruwa? "Kale, abooluganda, mbeegayirira olw'okusaasira kwa Katonda, muwaayo emibiri gyammwe okuba ssaddaaka ennamu"—omuntu omulamu—mmwe, mwenna; si kyo—si kintu ekiri mu mmwe.

Ekigambo ekyo eky'oluvannyuma Omwoyo Omutukuvu takozesa bw'ayogera n'Abakristaayo, naye bulijjo mmwe, byammwe, emibiri gyammwe, emyoyo gyammwe, amagezi gammwe, omuntu yenna—MMWE, "ssaddaaka ennamu, entukuvu, esanyusa Katonda, kwe kusinza kwammwe okw'omwoyo." Era si bwe kiri? Kisukkiridde? Kisinga ku ekyo kye yateesa bwe yabagula? Kisinga ku kye yasasula? Kwe "kusinza kwammwe okw'omwoyo."

Kale nno, kaakano, ekisaanyizo kijja: "Temwefaananyirizanga ba mulembe guno, naye mukyusibwe olw'okuzza obuggya amagezi gammwe, mulyoke..."

Woowe! singa mwandisobodde okukyusibwa okudda gy'ali n'okwefaananyiriza ba mulembe guno mu kiseera kye kimu, obuzibu bwonna bwandiweddewo. Mmanyi abantu bangi abandikyusibbwa mangwago; naye, okulema okwefaananyiriza ba mulembe guno—nga bayimirira ne beenyinyimba olw'ekyo! Tebasobola kukifuna ku muwendo ogwo.

Nga Finney omwagalwa bwe yali agamba, "Owooluganda wange, bw'oba oyagala okulaba Katonda, tojja kumusanga waggulu eyo, mu kitiibwa kyonna eky'ekibiina n'okuwaanawaana kw'omuliro; oteekwa okukka wansi omunoonye." Bwe kiri ekyo—"Temwefaananyirizanga ba mulembe guno."

Tewali kintu kinnuma okusingawo, oluvannyuma lw'okubeera mu nkuŋŋaana ez'okuyamba emyoyo, gye ngezaako okwogera mu ngeri entuufu era enzijuvu okulaba nga buli muntu ategeera kye ntegeeza, bwe ŋŋenda ku mmeeza ey'ekijjulo oba eky'akawungeezi, abantu ne bataba na kye bategedde na katono, oba, bwe baba nga bategeeye, tebajja kukikkiriza.

Woowe! kino kye kyama—tebaagala kuva ku malala gaabwe n'okwegulumiza kwabwe. Naye Katonda talyeraga mu myoyo egiri bwe gityo, wadde nga bakaaba ne basaba okutuusa lwe bafuuka magumba, ne bagenda nga bakungubaga ennaku zaabwe zonna. Tebaatuukirize kisaanyizo—"Temwefaananyirizanga ba mulembe guno"; tebaagala kuleka kwefaananyiriza kwabwe wadde okutuuka ku mbaga y'ekijjulo.

Bangi be mmanyi tebaagala kuleka kwefaananyiriza kwabwe mu ngeri gye baamba enkuufiira zaabwe. Tebaagala kuleka kwefaananyiriza kwabwe okutuuka ku kuleka okukyalira n'okusembeza abantu abatatya Katonda, ab'ensi, abateriimu, n'aba wamusenge. Tebaagala kuleka kwefaananyiriza kwabwe okutuuka ku kuleka entegeka zaabwe ez'omu maka okwonoonebwa—nedda, ne bwe kiba nti obulokozi bw'abaana baabwe, n'abaweereza baabwe, ne mikwano gyabwe kwe kusinziira. Ekyetaagisa ddala kwe kusanyusibwa kwabwe kwennyini, olwo ku ludda lwa Katonda n'ofuna kyonna ky'osobola okufuna. "Twetaaga kino, era twetaaga kiri; olwo, singa Mukama Yesu Kristo anajja ku nkomerero n'atukuza byonna, tunaamwebaza nnyo; naye tetusobola kuleka bintu bino."

Woowe! mikwano gyange, mbagamba, kino tekiyinza kubaawo. Katonda ng'annyamba, nnaabagamba, nteekwa okubagamba, kubanga kikakibwa mu mwoyo gwange olw'ebyo bye ndaba era bye mpulira buli lunaku. Abantu bajja mu nkuŋŋaana zino, ne basinda ne bakaaba ne bajja gye tuli okuyambibwa, ne tumalako obwongo bwaffe obunafu n'emibiri gyaffe nga tubagamba n'okubawa amagezi, nga tubagamba kye baba bakola, ate bwe kituuka awasembayo, tuzuula nti, "Woowe! nedda; temulimbibwalimbibwa: tetugenda kuwaayo bintu bino. Tetuyinza kufuna Mukama bw'anaaba tajja mu yeekaalu zaffe n'abitwala nga bw'abisanga. Tetuyinza kuleka bintu bino."

Mujjukira ekyawandiikibwa ekyasomebwa ku kuggulawo kw'olukuŋŋaana—Yokaana 17:14: "...era ensi yabakyawa kubanga si ba nsi." Kirimu amakulu! era waliwo ebyawandiikibwa ebirala kikumi ebiyigiriza amazima ge gamu. Kale, kitegeeza ki? Mukama atuyambe okukiraba!

Tekitegeeza nti tetusaana kuba ng'ensi endala?—nti tetusaana kuluŋŋamizibwa ebigambo eby'amagezi bye bimu, oba okukola ng'emisingi gy'ensi bwe giri?—nti tetusaana kussa essira lye limu ku bintu eby'ensi obuntu, ng'abantu ab'ensi bwe bakola? Mwali mwelowoozangako ebigambo ebyo eby'amaanyi ebiri mu lugero lw'omusizi? Makko 4:19: "...naye okweraliikirira kw'ensi n'obulimba bw'obugagga n'okwegomba ebintu ebirala biyingira ne bizisa ekigambo, ne kitabala bibala"—si bintu bya muzizo, si bintu bya buwemu, si bintu bya nsonyi, naye okwegomba ebintu ebirala.

Mu kyawandiikibwa ekirala, Abafiripi 3:19: "...abalowooza ebintu eby'oku nsi." Bassa essira erisingawo ku bintu eby'ensi n'ebintu ebirala okusinga bwe bakola eri ebintu eby'obwakabaka bwe. Mu butuufu bassa ebintu bino mu maaso, wadde nga bayimba ku bwakabaka bwe era nga beeyatula okumussa mu maaso: bassa ebintu eby'ensi mu maaso, kyekiva, tebaagala bintu byabwe eby'ensi kwonoonebwa olw'ebintu bye; ne mulowooza nti akubibwa? Mulowooza nti alimbibwa? Mulowooza nga kisoboka nti Katonda Omukulu ow'omu ggulu, alina obukadde n'obukadde bwa bamalayika ne bamalayika abakulu okumusinza n'okumuweereza, ajja kufuka ekitiibwa kye ku bantu ng'abo, ne yeeraga gye bali, n'abakozesa?

Si kirabika! "Nnaabanga ow'olubereberye mu kwagala kwammwe," bw'agamba.

Mmwe abakazi abali wano, singa mumanya nti temuli ba lubereberye era ab'obumu mu kwagala kwa babbammwe, mwandigambye ki? Nammwe abaami, mwandibadde n'omukazi singa mumanyi nti si mmwe mwokka mu kwagala kwe, naye nga kwawuliddwamu wakati wammwe n'omulala?

"Si kirabika!" mwandigambye; "Sijja kuyiwa kwagala kwange, n'obudde bwange, n'ebirabo byange, ne buli kye nnina, ku muntu omutima gwe gwe gwawuliddwamu n'omulala. Bw'anaaba ayagala omutima gwe okwawulibwamu, kale agende eri oyo omulala."

Kaakano mumanyi nti Katonda wa buggya, era amanyi abamuduulira, era amanyi abo abatajja kuwaayo kwefaananyiriza kuno okw'ensi balyoke batambule naye nga bambadde engoye enjeru. Amanyi, era, abo abatafaayo ku ky'omuntu yenna ky'abalowoozaako, oba abantu kye boogera ku bo; abo abeetegefu okubalibwa ng'abasirusiru n'abalalu balyoke batambule naye era batumbule ebirungi eby'obwakabaka bwe, era abatwala emibiri gyabwe ng'ebikozesebwa bye n'amaka gaabwe nga yeekaalu ze; abo abakkiriza ng'essaawa zaabwe ez'ekyenkya, oba ez'ekijjulo, oba ez'akatono ak'omu ttuntu, oba essaawa zonna endala ziyinza okwonoonebwa, era, mu butuufu, buli kimu ne kifuulibwa ekya kabiri eri ebirungi eby'obwakabaka bwe.

Tuteekwa okuteeka buli kimu mu buweereza bwe—abaana baffe, emirimu gyaffe, amaka gaffe, na buli kimu. Bwe nkitegeera bulungi, buno bwe butefaananyiriza nsi.

Nga sinnamaliriza, ka njogere ekigambo okuyamba abo abaagala okutuuka ku mukisa guno. Tewali kkubo ddala lirala. Tekigasa kwetooloola bunyiriri. TEMWEFAANANYIRIZANGA, NAYE MUKYUSIBWE. Bino byombi bikontana lwatu. Bwe mulonda okwefaananyiriza, olwo temuyinza kukyusibwa; bwe mutaakkirize kukyusibwa, olwo muteekwa okwefaananyiriza. Kaakano, munaaleka okwefaananyiriza ensi? Bwe kiba bwe kityo, mulyoke, buli omu ku mmwe, mukyusibwe ku makya gano—mwambuke mu nsi. Mwenna muyinza okulokolebwa leero, ne mufuula ekka lyammwe mu Kristo, ne mufuna amaanyi gonna n'ekitiibwa ebijjira abo abamulina; muyinza okukulaakulana okuva mu mbeera ey'ennaku ey'omuntu omunafu agulumba n'akka, ayingira n'afuluma, ow'obunaku, okutuuka ku kifo eky'ekitiibwa eky'omuntu omulokole—omukazi omulokole—omutukuvu wa Katonda awangula!

OKUKKIRIZA Okukkiriza kwange kutunula gy'oli— Okukkiriza kwange, okutono ennyo, okuluubirira; kuyimusa amaaso gaakwo agasumbye okulaba era kaakano kusaba omukisa. Ekirabo kyo eky'ekyewuunyo kukiraba wala; okwagala kwo okutuukiridde kusaba okugabana, era tekutya, era tekuyinza kutya.

Okukkiriza kwange kukukwatako— Okukkiriza kwange, okunafu ennyo, okuggwaamu amaanyi; kuyimusa emikono gyakwo egikankana, nga kukankana, naye nga kuli n'obwangu. Obwakabaka kaakano kubuggya lwa maanyi, era kulinda okutuusa Ggwe, oyo ekisembayo kwe kwesiga, lw'onookassaako akabonero n'otukuza.

Okukkiriza kwange kukunywerera ku Ggwe, Okukkiriza kwange, nga kukyali kutono, naye nga kukakafu, ennanga yaakwo enywerera ku Ggwe wekka, oyo obwaliwo bwo bunkuuma nga ntukuvu. Era Ggwe bulijjo, okulaba n'okuwulira, ekiro, emisana, oli kumpi nnyo— oli kumpi nnyo nange.
