Leero lwennyini mbadde nsisinkanye omukyala omuminsani anyiikivu ennyo okuva e Buyindi. Akkiriza era akungubagira obutasaba kimala. Naye—e Buyindi waakiri—kizibu okuba nga kiri bulala. Olina essaawa za ku makya zokka, okuva ku ssaawa kumi na bbiri okutuuka ku ssaawa ttaano, okukola omulimu gwo. Abamu bagezezzaako okugolokoka ku ssaawa kumi, bafune ebiseera bye balowooza nti beetaaga, ne babonaabona, ne kibeetaagisa okukireka. Abamu bagezezzaako okufuna ebiseera oluvannyuma lw’ekyemisana, ne basangibwa nga beebase nga bafukamidde. Toli mukama wa bulamu bwo, era olina okukola wamu n’abalala. Tewali n’omu atabangako mu Buyindi ayinza kutegeera buzibu buno; ebiseera ebimala okwegayiririra abalala ennyo tebiyinza kufunika.

Singa obuzibu buno bwali mu bbugumu lya Buyindi lyokka, omuntu yandisirise. Naye, zitusanze! mu butiti obusingayo mu London, ne mu mbeera y’obudde ey’ekigero mu South Africa, obuzibu bwe bumu buli wamu. Singa twawulira ddala omulundi gumu nti—okwegayiririra abalala kye kitundu ky’omulimu gwaffe ekisinga obukulu, okufuna okubeerawo kwa Katonda n’amaanyi ge mu bujjuvu kye kintu ekyetaagisa ennyo, guno gwe mulimu gwaffe ogusooka—essaawa zaffe zonna ez’okukola zandifuuliddwa okuba wansi w’ekintu kino ekimu.

Katonda atulage ffenna obanga ddala waliwo obuzibu obutayinza kuvvuunukibwa bwe tutavunaanyizibwako, obanga nsobi bunsobi gye tukola, oba kibi kye tumunakuwaza nakyo era kye tuziyiza nakyo Omwoyo we!

Bwe tubuuza ekibuuzo George Muller kye yabuuza Omukristaayo eyeemulugunya nti yali tasobola kufuna biseera bimala okusoma Ekigambo n’okusaba—obanga essaawa emu ey’omulimu entono, ka tugambe essaawa nnya, nga emmeeme ebeera mu kitangaala kya Katonda ekijjuvu, teyandibadde na buwanguzi na kibala okusinga essaawa ttaano ng’omuntu anyigirizibwa omwoyo olw’okumanya nti si mwesigwa, era ng’afiiriddwa amaanyi agandifunise mu kusaba—okuddamu tekujja kuba kuzibu. Gye tukoma okukirowoozaako, gye tukoma okuwulira nti abakozi abanyiikivu era abatya Katonda bwe bakkiriza, ne bwe kiba nga kikontana n’okwagala kwabwe okusingako obulungi, eby’omwoyo okusindiikirizibwa ebweru olw’emirimu egitakoma n’obukoowu bwe gireeta, kiteekwa okuba nga kiri bwe kityo kubanga obulamu obw’omwoyo tebulina maanyi gamala mu bo okulagira ekyo ekitali kikulu okwesamba okutuusa okubeerawo kwa Katonda mu Kristo n’amaanyi g’Omwoyo lwe binaaba bifuniddwa mu bujjuvu.

Ka tuwulirize Kristo ng’agamba nti, “ebya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali”—omulimu n’obuvunaanyizibwa bibeere mu kifo kyabyo—“n’ebya Katonda mubiwenga Katonda.” Okusinza mu Mwoyo, okwesigama ku Katonda ddala n’okumulindirira obutayosa olw’okufuna mu bujjuvu okubeerawo kwe n’amaanyi ge buli lunaku, n’amaanyi ga Kristo agakolera mu ffe, bibeerenga bulijjo mu kifo ekisooka. Ensonga yonna eri bweti bwokka: Katonda anaaweebwa ekifo, okwagala, okwesigibwa, n’ebiseera eby’okussa ekimu naye ku bubwe by’asaba, emirimu gyaffe gyonna gibeere Katonda yennyini ng’akolera mu ffe?

Ka mbuulire wano olugero oluli mu kimu ku bitabo bya Dr. Boardman. Yali ayitiddwa omukyala ow’ekitiibwa, eyali amanyiddwa ennyo olw’omulimu gwe ogw’obuwanguzi mu bakozi ba bba, okujja okubayigiriza. “Era oluvannyuma,” bwe yayongerako, “njagala okwogera naawe ku buddu obutono bwe ndimu nze kennyini.” Bwe yamala okwogera mu lukuŋŋaana lwe, n’asanga nga bangi baali baleeteddwa eri Kristo ku bubwe, ne yeebuuza obuzibu bwe bwali ki. Mangu ddala n’amubuulira. Katonda yali awadde omulimu gwe omukisa, naye, zitusanze, essanyu lye yalina edda mu kigambo kya Katonda ne mu kusaba okw’ekyama lyali libuze. Era yali agezezzaako n’amaanyi ge gonna okulizza, naye n’alemererwa. “Ah! eyo y’ensobi yo ddala,” bwe yagamba. “Kitya? Siteekwa kukola kyonna kye nsobola okuggyawo obunnyogovu buno?” “Mbuulira,” bwe yagamba, “walokolebwa lwa kukola kyonna kye wasobola?” “Nedda! Nagezaako ebbanga ddene okukola ekyo, naye nafuna ekiwummulo lwe nalekera awo okugezaako, ne neesiga Kristo.” “Era ekyo kye weetaaga okukola kaakano. Yingira mu kisenge kyo ku kiseera ekyateekebwawo, ne bw’oba ng’owulira ng’omwoyo gwo munafu, weeteeke mu maaso ga Mukama wo. Togezaako kwezuukusaamu bunyiikivu bw’otowulira; naye mugambe mu kasirise nti alaba bwe byonna byonoonese, era nga bw’otalina ky’oyinza, era mwesige akuwe omukisa. Ajja kukikola; bw’onoomwesiga mu kasirise, Omwoyo we ajja kukola.”

Olugero luno olwangu luyinza okuyigiriza Abakristaayo bangi essomo ery’omukisa ennyo mu bulamu obw’okusaba. Wakkiriza Kristo Yesu akuwonye, akuwe amaanyi okutambulira mu bulamu obuggya; wasaba Omwoyo Omutukuvu abeere mu ggwe Omwoyo ow’Okwegayirira n’Okwegayiririra Abalala; naye teweewuunya obanga enneewulira zo tezikyuka mbagirawo, oba obanga amaanyi go ag’okusaba tegajja mu ngeri gy’oyagala. Buno bulamu bwa kukkiriza. Olw’okukkiriza tufuna Omwoyo Omutukuvu n’emirimu gye gyonna. Okukkiriza tekutunuulira birabika wadde enneewulira, wabula kuwummulira, ne bwe kiba nga tewali maanyi ga kusaba, mu bukakafu nti Omwoyo asabira mu ffe nga tukutamye mu kasirise mu maaso ga Katonda. Oyo alindirira bw’atyo mu kukkiriza, n’assa ekitiibwa mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu, n’amwewaayo, mangu ajja kukizuula nti okusaba kutandika okujja. Era oyo agumiikiriza mu kukkiriza nti okuyita mu Kristo era olw’Omwoyo buli kusaba, ne bwe kuba kunafu kutya, kusiimibwa Katonda, ajja kuyiga essomo nti kisoboka okuyigirizibwa Omwoyo, n’okukulemberwa okutambula nga tusiimibwa Mukama era nga tumusanyusa mu buli kimu.

Jjo nate—ennaku ssatu oluvannyuma lw’emboozi eyogerwako mu kyongerezo ku ssuula 7—nasisinkana omukyala omuminsani omuto eyeewaddeyo ennyo, ng’ava mu bitundu eby’omunda. Bwe twali tukyanyumya ku kusaba, n’ayingizaamu, nga tewali amubuuzizza, nti, “Naye ddala tekisoboka kufuna biseera kusaba nga bwe twandyagadde.” Nasobola kuddamu kino kyokka: “Ebiseera kintu ekyekyusa okukwatagana n’okwagala kwaffe; ekyo emitima gyaffe kye gitwala ddala nga kye kisinga obukulu mu lunaku, tetujja kulwa kukifunira biseera.” Kiteekwa ddala okuba nti obuweereza obw’okwegayiririra abalala tebuteekebwangako mu maaso g’abayizi baffe mu matendekero g’eby’eddiini ne mu maka g’okutendekerwamu abaminsani ng’ekitundu ekisinga obukulu eky’omulimu gw’obulamu bwabwe. Tutwalidde omulimu gwaffe ogw’okubuulira oba okukyalira abantu nga gwe mulimu gwaffe ogwa nnamaddala, n’okusaba ng’ekkubo eriri wansi ery’okukola omulimu ogwo obulungi. Embeera yonna teyandikyuse singa twatwala obuweereza obw’okwegayiririra abalala ng’ekintu ekikulu—okufuna omukisa n’amaanyi ga Katonda ku lw’emmeeme ezaatukwasibwa? Awo omulimu gwaffe gwandifunye ekifo kyagwo ekituufu, ne gufuuka omulimu ogw’okubiri ogw’okugabira ddala abalala emikisa gye twafuna okuva eri Katonda. Mukwano gwe eyajja mu ttumbi bwe yamala okufuna okuva eri Omulala byonna bye yali yeetaaga, ng’okusaba kwe kuddiddwamu, n’alyoka asobola okuwa mukwano gwe eyali enjala emuluma. Okwegayirira kwe, okugenda n’okukonkona obutayosa, gwe gwali omulimu omuzibu; okuddayo eka n’ebingi bye yafuna okubigabira abalala gwali mulimu mwangu, ogw’essanyu. Eno y’entegeka ya Kristo ey’obwakatonda mu mulimu gwo gwonna, muganda wange: Sooka ojje, mu bwavu obw’enkomeredde, buli lunaku, ofune okuva eri Katonda omukisa mu kwegayiririra abalala, olyoke ogende n’essanyu okugugabira abalala.

Ka nzizeeyo nate abasomi bange eri William Law, nziremu kye nnayogera edda, nti tewali kitabo kinnyambye nnyo okutegeera ekifo n’omulimu gw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu nteekateeka y’okununulibwa ng’Obubaka bwe eri Abaweereza b’Ekkanisa.

Engeri gy’annyonnyolamu nti ekigendererwa kya Katonda ekimu kyali kubeera mu muntu, amufuule omugabane ku bulungi bwe n’ekitiibwa kye, si mu ngeri ndala wabula ye yennyini okubeera n’okukolera mu ye, kiwa omuntu ekisumuluzo ky’amakulu ga nnamaddala aga Pentekooti n’okutuma Omwoyo w’Omwana we okubeera mu mitima gyaffe. Ye Kristo, mu linnya lya Katonda, ng’addamu ddala okwefunira n’okwetwalira amaka ge yali yeetondera. Ye Katonda ng’ayingira mu buziba obw’ekyama obw’obutonde bwaffe okukolerayo ekyo ekyawandiikibwa nti “Katonda yakolera mu mmwe, era yabaagazisa n’abasobozesa okukola by’ayagala,” era nti “atukozese ebisiimibwa mu maaso ge ng’ayita mu Yesu Kristo.” Amazima gano bwe gayingira mu ffe, ne tulaba nti tewali era tewayinza kubaawo kirungi kyonna mu ffe okuggyako ekyo Katonda ky’akola, lwe tulifuna ekitangaala ku kyama kya Katonda eky’okusaba, ne tukkiriza Omwoyo Omutukuvu ng’assiza mu ffe okwegomba Katonda kw’alituukiriza bwe tukugondera, ne tukutwala mu maaso ge n’okukkiriza mu linnya lya Kristo. Olwo tulilaba nti ng’okwegayiririra abalala n’okusaba okuva eri Omwana eyafuuka omuntu okugenda eri Kitaffe ali mu ggulu bwe kwewuunyisa era bwe kuwangula, n’okwogerezeganya kwaffe ne Katonda bwe kutyo bwe kuli; Omwoyo, ye Katonda, ng’assiza era ng’asabira mu ffe, wakati mu bunafu bwaffe bwonna, okwegayirira kwe okw’obwakatonda okuzaalibwa mu ggulu: okusaba nga kufuuka kintu kya ggulu nnyo!

Ekitundu eky’enkomerero eky’ekitabo ekyogeddwako waggulu kirimu ebitundu ebiggiddwa mu bbaluwa za Law. Bino bifulumiziddwa byokka mu kitabo ekitono eky’esiringi emu. Tewali n’omu alyewaayo okubisoma mu kasirise n’okutegeera obulungi okuyigiriza kwabyo okwangu ennyo naye okw’obuziba, nga tannanywezebwa nnyo mu bwesige obwetaagisa, bwe tuba ab’okusaba ennyo era n’obuvumu. Bwe tuyiga nti Omwoyo Omutukuvu ali mu ffe okubikkulirayo Kristo, atufuule mu bulamu obwa nnamaddala abagabane ku kufa kwe, ku bulamu bwe, ku butuukirivu bwe, ku mpisa ze, Kristo alyoke abumbibwe mu ffe, tujja kutandika okulaba nga bwe kiri ekituufu era ekikakafu mu ngeri ey’obwakatonda nti okwegayiririra abalala kwaffe mu linnya lye kuteekwa okuwulirwa; Omwoyo we yennyini akuuma obumu obulamu naye, mwe tusembezebwa eri Katonda, era atuwa obuvumu okusembera; bye nnayogera mu bunafu bwe butyo mu ssuula ku Mwoyo ow’Okwegayirira bijja kufuna amakulu amaggya; era, ekisingawo, okukola omulimu gw’okusaba kujja kufuna obulungi obupya obusikiriza; ekyama kyakwo eky’obwakatonda ekitiibwa kijja kutuwombeeka, n’enkizo yaakwo etayogerekeka ejja kutusitula mu kukkiriza n’okusinza.

Waliwo ekibuuzo, ekisinga byonna obuziba, kye sinnayingiramu mu kitabo kino. Njogedde ku bbula ly’okusaba mu Mukristaayo kinnoomu ng’akabonero k’endwadde. Naye tunaagamba ki ku kino, nti okulemererwa kuno okuwaayo ebiseera n’amaanyi ebisaanidde eri okusaba kubunye nnyo bwe kutyo? Tetwetaaga kwebuuza nti, Kiva ku ki Ekkanisa ya Kristo, eyambazibwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu, obutasobola kutendeka basumba baayo n’abakozi baayo n’abakkiriza baayo okukulembeza ekisooka? Kiva ku ki okwatula nti tusaba kitono, n’okukoowoola okusaba okusingawo, okuwulirwa emirundi mingi bwe kutyo, naye ate obubi ne bugenda mu maaso? Omwoyo wa Katonda, Omwoyo ow’Okwegayirira n’Okwegayiririra Abalala, ali mu Kkanisa ne mu buli mukkiriza. Mazima ddala wateekwa okubaawo omwoyo omulala ow’amaanyi amangi oguziyiza era ogulemesa Omwoyo wa Katonda ono. Bwe kiri ddala. Omwoyo gw’ensi, ogwo wansi w’emirimu gyagwo gyonna emirungi era n’egy’eddiini gwe mwoyo gwa katonda w’emirembe gino, kye kiziyiza ekinene. Buli kintu ekikolebwa ku nsi, ka kibe munda oba ebweru w’Ekkanisa, kikolebwa emu ku myoyo gino ebiri. Ekyo omubiri kye guli mu muntu kinnoomu, gwe mwoyo gw’ensi mu bantu bonna awamu; era amaanyi gonna omubiri ge gulina mu muntu kinnoomu gava ku kifo omwoyo gw’ensi kye guweebwa mu Kkanisa ne mu bulamu bw’Ekikristaayo. Omwoyo gw’ensi gwe guziyiza ennyo omwoyo gw’okusaba. Okukoowoola kwaffe kwonna okusinga obunyiikivu abantu basabe nnyo kujja kuba kwa bwereere okuggyako ng’obubi buno bukkirizibwa, ne bulwanyisibwa, ne buwangulwa. Omukkiriza n’Ekkanisa bateekwa okusumululwa ddala okuva mu mwoyo gw’ensi.

Kale kino kinaakolebwa kitya? Waliwo ekkubo limu lyokka—Omusaalaba gwa Kristo, “olw’omusaalaba ogwo,” nga Pawulo bw’agamba, “nkomereddwa eri ensi, n’ensi ekomereddwa eri nze.” Okuyita mu kufa eri ensi kwokka mwe tuyinza okusumululwa okuva mu mwoyo gwayo. Okwawukana kuteekwa okuba okw’obulamu era okujjuvu. Okuyita mu kukkiriza kwokka nti twakomererwa wamu ne Kristo mwe tuyinza okutambuza obulamu bwaffe nga bwe twatula, era, ng’abaakomererwa eri ensi, okunywerera mu mbeera ey’obulabe obutayinza kutabaganyizibwa n’ekintu kyonna eky’omwoyo gwayo ekitali kya Mwoyo wa Katonda; era Katonda yekka ye ayinza, olw’amaanyi ge ag’obwakatonda, okutuyingiza mu mbeera eyo n’okutukuuma buli lunaku nga tuli abaafiira ddala eri ekibi, naye abalamu eri Katonda mu Kristo Yesu. Omusaalaba, n’ensonyi zaagwo n’okwawula kwagwo okuva ku nsi, n’okufa kwagwo eri byonna eby’omubiri n’eby’okwerowoozaako, ge maanyi gokka agayinza okuwangula omwoyo gw’ensi.

Mpulidde nnyo nti amazima gano geetaaga okulangirirwa obuggya, ne kiba nti nsuubira, Katonda bw’alisiima, okufulumya ekitabo, Omusaalaba gwa Kristo, nga kirimu okunoonyereza ku Kigambo kya Katonda kye kiyigiriza ku kugabana kwaffe okwa nnamaddala ne Kristo mu kukomererwa kwe. Kristo yasaba ng’ali mu kkubo erigenda ku musaalaba. Yasaba okutuusa lwe yatuuka ku musaalaba. Yasaba ng’ali ku musaalaba. Asaba bulijjo ng’ekibala ky’omusaalaba. Ng’Ekkanisa bw’ebeera ku musaalaba, n’omusaalaba ne gubeera mu Kkanisa, omwoyo gw’okusaba gujja kuweebwa. Mu Kristo, omwoyo gw’okukomererwa n’okufa kwe bye byali ensibuko y’Omwoyo n’Amaanyi ag’Okwegayiririra Abalala. Naffe tekiyinza kuba kirala.

Nnayogedde emirundi egisukka mu gumu ku bwetaavu bw’okutendeka Abakristaayo mu mulimu gw’okwegayiririra abalala. Mu kyongerezo ekyasooka nnabuuzizza obanga, mu kuyigiriza kw’amatendekero gaffe ag’eby’eddiini ne mu maka g’okutendekerwamu abaminsani, okusaba kufiibwako ekimala ng’ekitundu ekisinga obukulu, era mu ngeri ezimu ekisinga obuzibu, eky’omulimu abayizi gwe bategekerwa. Neebuuzizza obanga tekyandisobose okuwa abo abayagala, mu bulamu bwabwe obw’obuyizi, okwewaayo okuyita mu ntendeka, obuyambi mu ngeri y’amagezi n’ebiteeso ku kyetaagisa okuwa okusaba ekifo n’amaanyi bye kusaanidde okuba nabyo mu buweereza bwaffe.

Ebiseera ebisinga, mu bulamu bw’obuyizi empisa mwe ziteekwa okubumbibwa olw’emyaka egijja, era mu nsi y’abayizi ey’ennaku zino Ekkanisa ey’omu maaso mw’eteekwa okukwatibwako. Katonda bw’anandeka okutuukiriza enteekateeka etannaggwa bulungi, nandyagadde okufulumya ekitabo, Ekitabo ky’Okusaba eky’Omuyizi, ekigatta okuyigiriza kw’Ebyawandiikibwa ku kyetaagisa ennyo okutufuula abantu ab’okusaba, n’obulagirizi obw’omugaso obuyinza okuyamba Omukristaayo omuto, eyeeteekateeka okuwaayo obulamu bwe mu buweereza bwa Katonda n’obuwanguzi, okukuza omwoyo n’empisa ey’okusaba ebinaabeeranga naye mu bulamu bwe bwonna obujja ne mu mirimu gye.
