Ibulayimu Bwe Yagezesebwa

“Olw’okukkiriza Ibulayimu bwe yakemebwa yawaayo Isaaka; oyo eyaweebwa ebisuubizo yali ng’awaayo omwana we omu yekka, gwe baayogerako nti, ‘Mu Isaaka mw’oliyitibwa ezzadde lyo.’ Yalowooza nti Katonda ayinza okuzuukiza abantu, ne mu bafu; era bw’atyo mu kifaananyi yamuddiza” (Abaebbulaniya 11:17-19).

Ku mulundi guno ekyokulabirako kiva mu bugonvu bwa Ibulayimu, Katonda bwe yamugamba okuwaayo mutabani we, Isaaka, ng’ekitabo ky’Olubereberye essuula 22 bwe kyogera. Katonda yayogera, Ibulayimu n’agonda. Yamanya ebyasuubizibwa bya Katonda ebikwata ku zzadde lye, era yalowooza nti ekisuubizo kino kyandituukiriziddwa mu Isaaka; naye ekigambo kya Katonda kyali kimutuuseeko, Ibulayimu n’agonda. Okwo kwe kukkiriza! Teyategeera nsonga lwaki Katonda amusaba okukola ekintu kino eky’entiisa; naye teyamubuuza. Wabula yagonda bugonzi.

Yamanya nti Katonda kye yali asuubizza, kyali kya kukituukiriza. Kale nno, obanga Katonda yali asuubizza okuwa amawanga gonna ag’ensi omukisa ng’ayita mu Isaaka mwana w’ekisuubizo, ate ng’ateekwa okutta Isaaka, Katonda yanditeekeddwa okukola ekitasoboka — okumuzuukiza addemu obulamu.

Pawulo agamba mu Abaruumi 4:3 nti, “Ibulayimu yakkiriza Katonda, ne kimubalirwa okuba obutuukirivu.” Ate Yakobo mu kitabo kye awandiika nti, “Ibulayimu jjajjaffe teyaweebwa butuukirivu olw’ebikolwa, bwe yawaayo mutabani we Isaaka ku kyoto? Olaba nti okukkiriza kwakolera awamu n’ebikolwa bye, era okukkiriza ne kutuukirira olw’ebikolwa; era Ekyawandiikibwa ne kituukirira ekigamba nti, ‘Ibulayimu yakkiriza Katonda, ne kimubalirwa okuba obutuukirivu’” (Yakobo 2:21-23). Omutume yeeyongera okugamba nti “okukkiriza awatali bikolwa kufu” (Yakobo 2:14-16). Tewali kintu ekiyitibwa kukkiriza wabula nga kweyoleka mu bikolwa!

Nga bwe kiri mu byokulabirako ebirala byonna ebiri mu Abaebbulaniya essuula 11, wano tulina ekifaananyi ekituyigiriza amazima agakwata ku Katonda n’ebigendererwa bye mu ffe. Wano nate, waliwo okuyigiriza okw’olwatu okukwata ku Kuzuukira n’obwesigwa bwa Katonda. Katonda yasuubiza era asobola okutuukiriza ekyo kye yasuubiza; kyokka, waliwo amazima amalala ge tusobola okukungula okuva mu nnyiriri zino.

Waliriwo ebiseera Katonda mw’aligezesa abantu be. Takola kino ayige kintu okuva mu bivaamu, kubanga amanyi ekivaamu ne nga okugezesa tekunnabaawo; era tatugezesa ng’akkiriza okukemebwa kutujjire. Ekyo mulimu gwa Setaani, ng’akozesa okwegomba kwaffe okw’omubiri okutuwabya.

Mazima ddala, Yesu yayigiriza abayigirizwa be okusaba nti, “Kitaffe, totutwala mu kukemebwa” (Lukka 11:4), ng’amanyi nti ekyo tekiri mu kwagala kwa Katonda. Naye okugezesebwa kuli mu kwagala kwe. Kubanga mu kutugezesa mw’atulongoosereza n’atufuula okweyongera okufaanana ekifaananyi kya mutabani we, Yesu.

Ekyuma bwe kitunuulizibwa okusobola okuggyamu ekyuma ekirongoofu, kigezesebwa nnyo mu kikoomi ne mu byuma ebisensa. Ekyuma kyokebwa okutuusa lwe kisaanuuka kyonna, n’ebisasiro ne biggibwako. Ebitali birongoofu bwe biba nga tewakyali, ekyuma ekisaanuuse kimasamasa n’ekitangaala ekirongoofu, era bwe kifukibwa, kiraga ekifaananyi ekituukiridde ku ngulu waakyo. Eyo y’ensonga lwaki Mukama atugezesa — tusobole okwoleka ekitiibwa kye n’ekifaananyi kye.

Okumala emyaka mingi nnali musomesa mu kitongole ekyapima abayizi baakyo nga bakozesa ebibuuzo bya buli mwaka n’ebigezo eby’ebbanga. Mazima ddala, abayizi abatono be baayagalanga enkola eyo, era bazadde bangi ne beemulugunya nnyo, ne kiba nti leero waliwo okugezesa okutono ennyo okukolebwa mu masomero, era abayizi emirundi mingi basobola okumaliriza nga tebannaba kugezesebwa ku by’obumanyirivu oba okutegeera kwe bafunye. Ekimu ku bintu ebikulu abantu kye beemulugunyaako ku bibuuzo kwe kuba nti bulijjo bivaamu okugwa.

Okwawukana ku ndowooza ya bangi, nze ndi omu ku abo abakkiriza nti okugwa kuyinza okufuuka eddaala ery’omuwendo eritutuusa ku buwanguzi. Kutusobozesa okumanya amaanyi gaffe we gali, gye tuteekwa okwongera okufuba, ne gye tusobola okwongera okukozesa amaanyi gaffe obulungi. Mu ngeri endala, ekivudde mu kibuuzo kiyinza okutuyamba okussa essira mu ngeri ey’amagezi ku kkubo eritwolekedde. Bwe nnali mu ssomero, nnagwa mu bimu ku bibuuzo byange eby’olukale. Ne ndyoka nsalawo okussa essira ku bisomo mwe nnali mpangudde, ne nkomekkereza n’okutuuka ku ddiguli ey’ekitiibwa mu yunivasite. Tewali n’omu eyali antwala ng’eyagwa olw’okuba ssasobola kuyita mu bipimo ebimu mu bisomo bibiri byokka!

Katonda tatubala nga abaagwa bwe tuba nga tetuyise mu kugezesebwa kwe okwa kaakati.

Nga bwe twawandiika mu ssuula eyakulembera, ekimu ku bigezo Mukama by’akkiriza okujja mu bulamu bw’omukkiriza kwe kugezesebwa okw’okwesittala.

Yesu yagamba nti tebulemwa kujja, era kitusaanira okuyiga engeri gye tusobola okubiyisaamu (Lukka 17:1).

Ekigezo ekirala kwe kw’oluggi oluggale. Nnafuna obunakuwavu bw’okulaba Katonda ng’anziggalirawo oluggi mu maaso gange nga nnali nsuubidde okuyita okuyingira mu mukisa omupya ogw’ekitalo. Ensonyi zaali za maanyi kubanga nnali njogedde awatali kwekomako ku mukisa guno ogw’ekitalo Katonda gwe yali antadde mu maaso, ne kiba nti, ekiseera bwe kyatuuka, mu kifo ky’okunkulemberamu, yaggala oluggi. Nnaliyagadde nnyo singa saayogedde bwe ntyo awatali kwekuuma, kubanga nneewulira nga siriimu magezi ekintu ekyo bwe kyalemwa okutuukirira.

Nnabuuza Katonda ku nsonga ze, era nteekwa okwatula nti kyatwala akaseera nga sinnasobola kuwuliriza kwagala kwe mu nsonga eno.

Waali wabula okuyita emyaka emirala kkumi nga sinnasobola kulaba nsonga lwaki yaggala oluggi luli. Kyali kya kutegeka kkubo erisingako obulungi. Olugero luno nnulwogera mu bujjuvu obusingawo mu kitabo kyange ekirala, “Stepping Stones.”

Ekigezo eky’okusatu kye tuyinza okuyitamu kikwata ku bintu ebiyinza okutuziyiza okukulemberwa Mukama.

Bino byandizingiddemu amaanyi gaffe ffe bennyini, enkolagana zaffe, n’ebintu bye tulina. Nga Ibulayimu, tuyinza okusabibwa okuwaayo ekyo eky’omuwendo ennyo gye tuli. Katonda takola kino kutulumya — ekyo si kye kigendererwa kye. Akikola atusumulule okuva mu kwesiga kwonna kwe tuyinza okuba nga tulina mu busobozi bwaffe ffe.

Emirundi mingi tujja kuzuula nti bwe tuteeka ebintu byaffe wansi mu maaso ge, atuyita okubiddamu tubikozese mu kumuweereza. Nzijukira mukwano gwange, Rob, eyali omuyimbi omukulembeze mu bbandi ya rock and roll bwe yajja eri Mukama. Okukyuka kwe kwali kwa nnamaddala, era mu bwangu n’akizuula nti okuyimba mu bifo eby’ekiro tekyamumatiza. Yateeka wansi ennanga ye ey’ekivuga, kubanga ennyimba zokka ze yamanya okukuba tezaali zisaanira nnyimba empya ze yayagala okuyimba. Waaliwo okuyita emyaka ena nga tannakkiriza nti Mukama yali ayagala addemu ekivuga, we yatandikira okuyimba ennyimba empya. Leero, Rob ali mu buweereza obw’ennyimba obw’ekiseera kyonna eri Mukama.

Musa yalina okuteeka wansi omuggo gwe ogw’obusumba — akabonero k’omulimu gwe n’obuyinza bwe (Okuva 4:3), n’oluvannyuma n’alagirwa okugudda, naye ku mulundi guno gwayitibwa “omuggo gwa Katonda” gwe yali agenda okukoza ebikolwa eby’amaanyi ng’okuggula ekkubo okuyita mu Nnyanja Emyufu (Okuva 4:17).

Gidyoni yalina okuwaayo eggye lye Katonda alyoke awangule obuwanguzi obw’amaanyi ku Bamidiyaani (Balamuzi 7).

Tuyinza okuyitibwa okuwaayo enkolagana, ab’omu maka, oba amaka gaffe. Ka nkujjukize ekisuubizo kya Yesu, nti, “Mazima ddala mbagamba nti, Tewali muntu eyaleka nnyumba oba mukazi oba baganda oba bazadde oba baana, olw’obwakabaka bwa Katonda, atalifuna emirundi mingi mu biseera bino, ne mu mulembe ogugenda okujja obulamu obutaggwaawo” (Lukka 18:29-30).

Buli lwe nsoma olugero lwa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, mpulira ekimu ku bulumi obwali mu mutima gwa kitaawe. Ekiseera ky’obubalagaze nga kityo kye kyali, ng’akulembera mutabani we okwambuka olusozi ng’amanyidde ebigendererwa ebyali mu mutwe gwe. Yali akyanywereza ku ssuubi nti Katonda mu ngeri emu yandikyusizza ekivaamu, ng’ayogera ne mu bunnabbi nti “Katonda ye yandyewereza omwana gw’endiga ogw’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa” (Olubereberye 22:8).

Teyalina kirowoozo ku ngeri ekigambo ekyo gye kyandibeeredde eky’amazima, kubanga kyali ku lusozi olwo lwennyini, oluvannyuma lw’emyaka egiwera, kitaawe w’omuntu omulala we yandirabidde Omwana we omuzaalibwa omu yekka ng’afa ng’omwana gw’endiga eyattirwa ebibi by’ensi. Nga omutima gwa Kitaffe ali mu ggulu bwe gwali guteekwa okunakuwala, kyokka yali amaliridde nti Omwana we ateekwa okufa. Kino kye kyali ekkubo lyokka obwenkanya mwe bwandisisinkanidde okusaasira, tulyoke tununulibwe okuva mu mbeera yaffe ey’ekibi n’okubula.

Obufunze: Katonda teyali wa ttima wadde nga tafaayo ku nneewulira za Ibulayimu bwe yamusaba okuwaayo mutabani we omu yekka — omwana w’ekisuubizo. Yali alina ekiragiro ekikulu ku muweereza we, naye kyali kyetaagisa okumusooka okugezesa mu kikoomi. Ensonga zino ziggyibwa mu kitundu kino ekya Abaebbulaniya essuula 11: 1. Katonda mwesigwa mu biseera byaffe eby’okugezesebwa.

2. Katonda bw’atuyita okuteeka ekintu wansi nga ssaddaaka, kiba ffe tulyoke tukiddemu mu maanyi.

3. Katonda akkiriza okugezesebwa okujja mu bulamu bwaffe ayagala kutufuula balongoofu.

4. Enteekateeka ye ey’okununula eri ‘okwewereza yekka omwana gw’endiga.’
