Akakwakkulizo Akazingiramu Byonna

‘Bwe munywerera mu Nze ne munyweza ebigambo byange, buli kye munaasabanga kinaabakolerwanga.’—Yokaana 15:7.

MU nkolagana yonna Katonda gy’alina naffe, ekisuubizo n’obukwakkulizo bwakyo tebyawukana. Bwe tutuukiriza obukwakkulizo, Ye atuukiriza ekisuubizo. Ky’agenda okuba gye tuli kisinziira ku kye tuli abeetegefu okuba gy’ali. ‘Musemberere Katonda, ne Katonda anaabasembereranga.’ Bwe kityo ne mu kusaba, ekisuubizo ekitaliiko kkomo, musabe kyonna kye mwagala, kirina akakwakkulizo kaakyo kamu akangu era ak’obuzaaliranwa, bwe munywerera mu Nze. Kristo y’oyo Kitaffe gw’awulira bulijjo; Katonda ali mu Kristo, era tayinza kutuukibwako wabula nga tuli mu Ye; okuba MU YE lye kkubo ery’okuwulirwa okusaba kwaffe; bwe TUBEERA MU YE ddala era mu bujjuvu, tuba n’obuyinza okusaba kyonna kye twagala, n’ekisuubizo nti kinaatukolerwanga.

Bwe tugeraageranya ekisuubizo kino n’ebyo abakkiriza abasinga obungi bye bayitamu, twewuunya olw’enjawukana ey’entiisa. Ani ayinza okubala okusaba okutabalika okulinnya ne kutaleeta kuddibwamu? Ensonga eteekwa okuba nti oba ffe tetutuukiriza kakwakkulizo, oba Katonda tatuukiriza kisuubizo. Abakkiriza tebaagala kukkiriza na kimu ku ebyo, kyebaava bayiiya ekkubo ery’okuwona obuzibu obwo. Bateeka mu kisuubizo ekigambo ekikikomako Omulokozi waffe ky’ataateekamu—oba nga Katonda bw’ayagala; bwe batyo ne bakuuma obwesigwa bwa Katonda n’obwabwe. Singa bakikkiriza bukkiriza era ne bakinywerera nga bwe kiri, nga beesiga Kristo okulaga nti amazima ge ga nnamaddala, Omwoyo wa Katonda yandibakulembedde okulaba nga kisaanidde ddala mu ngeri ya Katonda okuwa ekisuubizo ng’ekyo abo ababeera ddala mu Kristo mu makulu ge yategeeza, era okwatula nti okulemererwa okutuukiriza akakwakkulizo kye kinnyonnyola ekimala lwaki okusaba tekuddibwamu. Era olwo Omwoyo Omutukuvu yandifudde obunafu bwaffe mu kusaba ekimu ku bisinga amaanyi ebitusindika okunoonya ekyama, n’okufuna omukisa, ogw’okubeera mu Kristo mu bujjuvu.

‘Bwe munywerera mu Nze.’ Omukristaayo bw’akula mu kisa ne mu kutegeera Mukama Yesu, emirundi mingi yeewuunya okulaba ng’ebigambo bya Katonda nabyo bikula, mu makulu amapya era amazito ge bimujjiramu. Ajjukira olunaku ekigambo kya Katonda lwe kyamubikkulirwa n’asanyuka olw’omukisa gwe yakisangamu. Oluvannyuma lw’ekiseera, by’ayitamu ebisingako obuziba ne bikiwa amakulu amapya, ne kiba ng’atalabangako ddala bye kirimu. Era nate, bwe yeeyongera mu bulamu obw’Ekikristaayo, ekigambo kye kimu ne kiyimirira mu maaso ge omulundi omulala ng’ekyama ekinene, okutuusa Omwoyo Omutukuvu lwe yaddamu okumuyingiza mu buziba obusingawo obw’obujjuvu bwakyo obwa Katonda. Ekimu ku bigambo ebyo ebikula obutayosa, ebitaggwaamu, ebitubikkulira mpolampola obujjuvu bw’obulamu bwa Katonda, kye kigambo ky’Omusomesa eky’omuwendo ‘Mubeere mu Nze.’ Ng’okwegatta kw’ettabi n’omuzabbibu bwe kuli okw’okukula, okukula n’okweyongera okutakoma, bwe kutyo n’okubeera kwaffe mu Kristo kukula kwa bulamu, obulamu bwa Katonda mwe butwefunira mu bujjuvu obweyongera era obutuukiridde. Omukkiriza omuto era omunafu ayinza okuba ng’abeera ddala mu Kristo okusinziira ku kitangaala ky’alina; naye oyo afuba okutuuka ku kubeera okujjuvu mu makulu Omusomesa ge yategeeza mu bigambo ebyo, ye asikira ebisuubizo byonna ebikwatagana nakwo.

Mu bulamu obukula obw’okubeera mu Kristo, eddaala erisooka lye ly’okukkiriza. Omukkiriza bw’alaba nti, newankubadde nga munafu, ekiragiro kimugenderera ddala, ekigendererwa kye ekikulu kwe kukkiriza bukkiriza nti, nga bw’amanyi nti ali mu Kristo, bwe kityo kaakano, newankubadde nga yalemererwa era nga teyali mwesigwa, okubeera mu Kristo bwe buvunaanyizibwa bwe obw’amangu ago, era mukisa gw’asobola okutuukako. Afaayo nnyo ku kwagala, n’amaanyi, n’obwesigwa bw’Omulokozi: awulira nti ekimwetaagisa kimu kyokka kwe kukkiriza.

Tekirwa n’alaba nti waliwo ekirala ekyetaagisa. Obuwulize n’okukkiriza birina okutambulira wamu. Si nti ku kukkiriza kw’alina kulina okugattibwako obuwulize, wabula okukkiriza kulina okweyoleka mu buwulize. Okukkiriza bwe buwulize nga buli awaka nga butunuulira Omusomesa: obuwulize kwe kukkiriza nga kufuluma okukola by’ayagala. Alaba nga bw’abadde afaayo nnyo ku nkizo n’emikisa egy’okubeera kuno okusinga ku buvunaanyizibwa bwakwo n’ebibala byakwo. Wabaddewo bingi eby’okwerowoozaako n’eby’okwekulembeza by’ayagala ebyabadde tebitegeerwa oba ebigumiikirizibwa: emirembe gye yasobolanga okufuna mu kukkiriza, ng’omuyigirizwa omuto era omunafu, gimuvaako; okubeera kuno kulina kukuumirwa mu buwulize obw’ensonga: ‘Bwe munaagonderanga ebiragiro byange olwo munaabanga munyweredde mu kwagala kwange.’ Nga bwe kyali edda ekigendererwa kye ekikulu kwe kuyita mu birowoozo, n’amazima ge byakwata, okuwummuza omutima ku Kristo n’ebisuubizo bye; bwe kityo kaakano, mu ddaala lino, ky’asinga okufuba kwe kugatta okwagala kwe n’okwagala kwa Mukama we, n’okussa omutima n’obulamu ddala wansi w’obufuzi bwe.

Naye era kiba ng’ekirina ekibulamu. Okwagala kwe n’omutima biri ku ludda lwa Kristo; agondera Mukama we era amwagala. Naye lwaki obutonde bw’omubiri bukyalina amaanyi mangi bwe gatyo, lwaki entambula n’enneewulira ebyetengerera eby’omunda ennyo mu muntu tebiri nga bwe byandibadde? Okwagala kwe tekubikkiriza wadde okubiganya, naye wano waliwo ekitundu okwagala kw’omuntu we kutatuuka kukifuga. Era lwaki, ne bwe wataba bingi bya kibi ekikoleddwa eby’okusalira omusango, lwaki waba bingi bye tutakoze, okubulwa obulungi obwo obw’obutukuvu, obunyiikivu obwo obw’okwagala, okufaanana Yesu n’okufa kwe, obulamu bw’okwerowooza mwe bubulira, era ebiteekwa okuzingirwa mu kubeera mu Kristo, ng’Omusomesa bwe yakitegeeza? Mazima ddala walina okubaawo ekintu mu kubeera kwaffe mu Kristo ne Kristo mu ffe, ky’atannaba kufuna.

Bwe kiri. Okukkiriza n’obuwulize kkubo bukubo erituusa ku mukisa. Nga tannatuwa lugero lwa muzabbibu n’amatabi, Yesu yali amaze okutegeeza lwatu omukisa omujjuvu okukkiriza n’obuwulize gwe birina okutuusaako. Emirundi esatu yali agambye nti, ‘Obanga munjagala mugonderenga ebiragiro byange,’ era n’ayogera ku mukisa ogw’emirundi esatu gw’alitikkira okwagala okuwulize ng’okwo. Omwoyo Omutukuvu yandizze okuva eri Kitaffe; Omwana yandyeyolese; Kitaffe n’Omwana bandizze ne babeera mu ye. Bwe kiba nti okukkiriza kwaffe kukula ne kufuuka obuwulize, era mu buwulize n’okwagala obulamu bwaffe bwonna ne bufuluma ne bwesiba ku Kristo, olwo obulamu bwaffe obw’omunda ne bubikkulwa, era munda yaffe ne mubaamu obusobozi obw’okufuna obulamu, omwoyo, bwa Yesu eyagulumizibwa, ng’okwegatta okwa nnamaddala era okumanyiddwa ne Kristo ne Kitaffe. Ekigambo kituukirira mu ffe: ‘Ku lunaku olwo mulitegeera nga Nze ndi mu Kitange, era nga muli mu Nze, nga nange ndi mu mmwe.’ Tutegeera nti, nga Kristo bw’ali mu Katonda, ne Katonda mu Kristo, nga bali omu si mu bye baagala ne mu kwagala kwokka, naye ne mu butonde n’obulamu obumu, kubanga babeera buli omu mu munne, bwe tutyo naffe tuli mu Kristo ne Kristo mu ffe, mu kwegatta okutali kwa bye twagala n’okwagala kwokka, wabula n’okw’obulamu n’obutonde.

Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ku ffe okumanya, okuyita mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu, nti Ye ali mu Kitaawe, era bwe tutyo naffe tuli mu Ye ne Ye mu ffe, n’alyoka agamba nti, ‘Mubeere mu Nze era nange mbeere mu mmwe. Mukkirize, mwetegeke okufuna obulamu obwo obwa Katonda obw’okwegatta nange, mwe nnyinza, nga bwe mubeera mu Nze, nange okubeera mu mmwe, nga nange bwe mbeera mu Kitange. Obulamu bwammwe bubeere bwange, n’obwange bubeere bwammwe.’ Kuno kwe kubeera okwa nnamaddala, okutuula mu kifo Kristo w’asobola okujja n’abeera; okubeera mu Ye bwe tutyo ng’emmeeme evudde ku kwerowooza n’esanga nti Ye atutte ekifo ekyo n’afuuka obulamu bwaffe. Kwe kufuuka ng’abaana abato abatalina kye beeraliikirira, era abasanga essanyu lyabwe mu kwesiga n’okugondera okwagala okwabakolera byonna.

Abo ababeera bwe batyo, ekisuubizo kibajjira ng’obusika bwabwe obw’obwenkanya: Musabe kyonna kye mwagala. Tekiyinza kuba kirala. Kristo abeefunidde ddala. Kristo abeera mu kwagala kwabwe, mu bye baagala, mu bulamu bwabwe. Bye baagala tebimala gaweebwayo kyokka; Kristo abiyingiddemu, era abibeeramu n’assiza omukka mu byo olw’Omwoyo we. Oyo Kitaffe gw’awulira bulijjo, asabira mu bo; bo basabira mu Ye: kye basaba kinaabakolerwanga.

Muganda wange omukkiriza omwagalwa! ka twatule nti olw’okuba tetubeera mu Kristo nga bw’ayagala, Ekkanisa kyeva eba ennafu bweti mu maaso g’obutakkiriza, n’okwagala ensi, n’obukaafiiri, wakati mu ebyo Mukama mw’asobola okugifuula ewangula n’okukirawo. Ka tukkirize nti ky’asuubiza ky’ategeeza, era tukkirize omusango okwatula okwo kwe kutusalira.

Naye tuleme okuggwaamu amaanyi. Okubeera kw’ettabi mu Muzabbibu bulamu bwa kukula okutakoma. Okubeera, ng’Omusomesa bwe yakitegeeza, kuli mu buyinza bwaffe, kubanga Ye abeera mulamu okukutuwa. Ka tubeere beetegefu okulaba byonna ng’okufiirwa, n’okugamba nti, ‘Sigamba nti mmaze okufuna oba nti mmaze okutuukirira, wabula nfuba okufuna ekyo Kristo Yesu kye yagenderera nfune.’ Tuleme kufaayo nnyo ku kubeera kwennyini, wabula ku Ye okubeera gwe kutugattako, n’obujjuvu bwe. Abe Ye, Kristo yenna, mu buwulize bwe n’okwetoowaza kwe, mu kugulumizibwa kwe n’obuyinza bwe, emmeeme yaffe mw’etambulira era mw’ekolera; Ye yennyini alituukiriza ekisuubizo kye mu ffe.

Era olwo, nga bwe tubeera, era nga tweyongera okukula okutuuka ku kubeera okujjuvu, ka tukozese obuyinza bwaffe, okwagala okuyingira mu byonna Katonda by’ayagala. Nga tugondera ebyo Katonda by’ayagala bye biragira, ka tubanje bye bisuubiza. Ka twewe Omwoyo Omutukuvu atuyigirize, alage buli omu ku ffe, okusinziira ku kukula kwe n’ekipimo kye, Katonda by’ayagala bye tuyinza okubanja mu kusaba. Era tuleme kumatira na kintu kitali kya kulaba mu bulamu bwaffe ffennyini ekyo Yesu kye yawa bwe yagamba nti, ‘Bwe munywerera mu Nze, buli kye munaasabanga kinaabakolerwanga.’

‘MUKAMA, TUYIGIRIZE OKUSABA!’

Mukama Omwagalwa! nnyigiriza okutwala ekisuubizo kino buggya mu bwangu bwakyo bwonna, era nkakase nti ekipimo kyokka eky’okugaba kwo okutukuvu kwe kwagala kwaffe okutukuvu. Mukama! Buli kigambo ky’ekisuubizo kyo kino kifuulibwe buggya ekiramu era ekikola mu mmeeme yange.

Ogamba nti: Mubeere mu Nze! Ayi Omusomesa wange, Obulamu bwange, Byonna byange, mbeera mu Ggwe ddala. Mpa nkule okutuuka mu bujjuvu bwo bwonna. Si kufuba kwa kukkiriza, okunoonya okukwesibako, wadde okuwummula kw’okukkiriza, okukwesiga okunkuuma; si buwulize bwa kwagala kwange, wadde okukwata ebiragiro; wabula Ggwe wennyini abeera mu nze ne mu Kitaffe, ekyo kyokka kye kiyinza okummatiza. Ggwe wennyini, Mukama wange, nga tokyali mu maaso gange era waggulu wange, wabula ng’oli omu nange, era ng’obeera mu nze; kino kye neetaaga, kino kye nnoonya. Kino kye nkwesiga okumpa.

Ogamba nti: Musabe kyonna kye mwagala! Mukama! Mmanyi nti obulamu obw’okubeera mu Ggwe okujjuvu era okw’obuziba bulizza buggya, bulitukuza era bulinyweza okwagala kwange, ne mba n’ekitangaala n’eddembe okusaba ebintu ebinene. Mukama! okwagala kwange, nga kufudde mu kufa kwo, nga kulamu mu bulamu bwo, kubeere kwa buvumu era kugazi mu bye kusaba.

Ogamba nti: Kinaakolebwa. Ayi Ggwe Amiina, omujulirwa, omwesigwa, ow’amazima, mpa mu Ggwe wennyini obwesige obw’essanyu nti olifuula ekigambo kino eky’amazima gye ndi mu ngeri ey’ekitalo okusinga bwe kyali bulijjo, kubanga omutima gw’omuntu kye gutalowoozangako Katonda bye yategekera abo abamwagala. Amiina.

OKUNNYONNYOLA

Bwe tugeraageranya n’obwegendereza bye tutera okusanga mu bitabo oba mu bubaka ku kusaba, n’okuyigiriza kw’Omusomesa, tujja kusangamu enjawukana emu nnene: obukulu obuweebwa okuddibwamu kw’okusaba tebuli bumu n’akatono. Mu bisooka tusangamu bingi ku mukisa gw’okusaba ng’okwegezaamu okw’omwoyo ne bwe wataba kuddibwamu, ne ku nsonga lwaki tusaanidde okumatira nga tetukufunye. Okussa ekimu ne Katonda kwandibadde kutusinga ekirabo kye tusaba; amagezi ga Katonda gokka ge gamanyi ekisinga obulungi; Katonda ayinza okutuwa ekisinga ky’atatuwadde. Newankubadde ng’okuyigiriza kuno kulabika nga kwa waggulu nnyo era kwa mwoyo, kya kwewuunya nti tetukisanga n’akamu ku Mukama waffe. Gye tukoma okukuŋŋaanya n’obwegendereza byonna bye yayogera ku kusaba, gye kikoma okweyoleka nti yayagala tulowooze ku kusaba ng’ekkubo bukubo erituusa ku kigendererwa, era nti okuddibwamu kwe kwalina okuba obukakafu nti ffe n’okusaba kwaffe tusiimibwa Kitaffe ali mu ggulu. Si nti Kristo ayagala tutwale ebirabo nga bya muwendo okusinga okussa ekimu ne Kitaffe n’ekisa kye. Nedda n’akatono. Naye Kitaffe ayagala okuddibwamu kubeere akabonero k’ekisa kye n’ak’amazima g’okussa ekimu kwaffe naye. ‘Leero, omuddu wo ategedde ng’alabye ekisa mu maaso go, mukama wange kabaka, kubanga kabaka azeemu okwegayirira okw’omuddu we.’

Obulamu obulimu okuddibwamu kw’okusaba buli lunaku bwe bukakafu obw’okukula kwaffe mu mwoyo; nti ddala tutuuse ku kubeera okwa nnamaddala mu Kristo; nti okwagala kwaffe kuli kumu ddala n’okwagala kwa Katonda; nti okukkiriza kwaffe kukuze ne kunywera okulaba n’okutwala Katonda by’atutegekedde; nti Erinnya lya Kristo n’obutonde bwe bitwefunidde ddala; era nti tusangiddwa nga tusaanira okutwala ekifo mu abo Katonda b’ayingiza mu kuteesa kwe, era okusinziira ku kusaba kwabwe kw’afugira ensi. Bano be bantu abaddiziddwamu ekitundu ku kitiibwa omuntu kye yalina ku lubereberye, era mu bo, nga bwe babeera mu Kristo, obuyinza bwe ng’Omwegayirizi awangula byonna bwe busobola okweyoleka, era mu bo ekitiibwa ky’Erinnya lye mwe kiragibwa. Okusaba kwa mukisa nnyo; okuddibwamu kwa mukisa n’okusingawo, ng’okuddamu okuva eri Kitaffe nti okusaba kwaffe, okukkiriza kwaffe, okwagala kwaffe biri ddala nga bw’ayagala bibeere.

Njogera bino nga nnina okwegomba kumu kwokka: okukulembera abansoma bo bennyini okukuŋŋaanya byonna Kristo bye yayogera ku kusaba, n’okwewaayo eri amazima gano mu bujjuvu: nti okusaba bwe kuba nga bwe kwandibadde, oba okusingawo, ffe bwe tuba nga bwe twandibadde, nga tubeera mu Kristo, okuddibwamu kuteekwa okusuubirwa. Kijja kutuggya mu bifo bye twekwekamu, mwe twebudaabudiranga nga okusaba kwaffe tekuddibwamu. Kijja kutulaga ekifo eky’obuyinza Kristo kye yateekerawo Ekkanisa ye, era ky’etatera kubeeramu. Kijja kutubikkulira obunafu obw’entiisa obw’obulamu bwaffe obw’omwoyo ng’ensonga lwaki tetumanyi kusaba n’obuvumu mu Linnya lya Kristo. Kijja kutusindika n’amaanyi okugolokoka tutuuke ku bulamu obw’okwegatta okujjuvu ne Kristo, ne mu bujjuvu bw’Omwoyo, ng’ekyama ky’okusaba okulina obuyinza. Era bwe kityo kijja kututwala okutuuka ku kye twatondebwa okuba: ‘Ku lunaku olwo: Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Bwe munaasabanga Kitange ekintu kyonna, alikibawa mu linnya lyange: musabe, mujja kuweebwa ekyo kye musaba, essanyu lyammwe liryoke lituukirire.’ Okusaba okuli ddala, mu mwoyo, mu kwegatta ne Yesu, kuddibwamu bulijjo.
