Obukakafu bw’Okuddibwamu kw’Okusaba

‘Musabe, munaaweebwa. Munoonye, munaazuula. Era mukonkone munaggulirwawo. Kubanga buli asaba aweebwa, n’oyo anoonya, azuula, n’oyo akonkona aggulirwawo,’—Matayo 7:7-8.

‘Era ne bwe mubisaba, temubifuna kubanga ekigendererwa kyammwe kikyamu.’—Yakobo 4:3.

MUKAMA waffe wano, mu Kubuulira ku Lusozi, akomawo omulundi ogwokubiri okwogera ku kusaba. Omulundi ogwasooka yali ayogedde ku Kitaffe asangibwa mu kyama era asasula mu lwatu, n’atuwa n’okusaba okw’ekyokulabirako (Matayo 6:5-15). Wano ayagala okutuyigiriza ekyo Ebyawandiikibwa byonna kye bitwala ng’ekikulu mu kusaba: obukakafu nti okusaba kujja kuwulirwa era kuddibwemu. Weetegereze engeri gy’akozesaamu ebigambo ebitegeeza kumpi ekintu kye kimu, era buli mulundi n’addamu ekisuubizo kyennyini mu ngeri ennyonnyofu bw’eti: ‘Munaaweebwa, munaazuula, munaggulirwawo;’ n’oluvannyuma n’awa etteeka ly’obwakabaka ng’omusingi gw’obukakafu obwo: ‘Buli asaba, aweebwa; anoonya, azuula; akonkona, aggulirwawo.’ Tetuyinza butawulira nti mu kuddiŋŋana kuno emirundi mukaaga ayagala okusimba wansi ennyo mu mitima gyaffe amazima gano gamu: nti tuyinza era tuteekwa okusuubira n’obwesige bwonna nti okusaba kwaffe kujja kuddibwamu. Oluvannyuma lw’okubikkulirwa kw’okwagala kwa Kitaffe, mu ssomero lyonna ery’okusaba temuli ssomo likulu okusinga lino: Buli asaba aweebwa.

Mu bigambo ebisatu Mukama by’akozesa, saba, noonya, konkona, abamu banoonyezza mu byo enjawulo mu makulu. Obanga ddala ekyo kye yali agenderera, kale ekisooka, SABA, kikwata ku birabo bye tusaba. Naye nnyinza okusaba ne nfuna ekirabo nga sifunye Agaba. NOONYA kye kigambo Ebyawandiikibwa kye bikozesa ku Katonda yennyini; Kristo ankakasa nti nnyinza okuzuula Ye yennyini. Naye tekimala kuzuula Katonda mu kiseera eky’obwetaavu nga totuuse ku kussa ekimu naye okw’olubeerera: KONKONA kyogera ku kukkirizibwa okuyingira okubeera naye era mu Ye. Bwe kityo okusaba n’okufuna ekirabo kwandituusizza ku kunoonya n’okuzuula Agaba, ate ekyo ne kituusa ku kukonkona n’okuggulirwawo oluggi lw’ennyumba ya Kitaffe n’okwagala kwe. Ekintu kimu kikakafu: Mukama ayagala ddala tukwesigire ddala nti okusaba, okunoonya n’okukonkona tebiyinza kuba bwereere: okuddibwamu, okuzuula Katonda, omutima n’ennyumba ya Katonda ebiggule, bye bibala ebikakafu eby’okusaba.

Okuba nti Mukama yalaba nga kyetaagisa okuddiŋŋana amazima gano mu ngeri nnyingi bwe zityo, lye ssomo ery’amakulu amazito. Kiraga nti amanyi omutima gwaffe: engeri okubuusabuusa n’obuteesiga Katonda gye bitujjira mu buzaaliranwa, n’engeri gye twanguwa okumatira n’okusaba ng’omulimu gw’eddiini awatali kuddibwamu. Amanyi era nti, ne bwe tukkiriza nti Katonda y’Awulira okusaba, okusaba okw’okukkiriza okunyweza ekisuubizo kintu kya mwoyo, ekigulumivu era ekizibu ennyo eri omuyigirizwa ow’omutima ogw’ebitundu. Noolwekyo ku ntandikwa ddala ey’okuyigiriza kwe eri abo abaagala okuyiga okusaba, anoonya okusimba amazima gano wansi mu mitima gyabwe: okusaba kubeera n’obuyinza bungi; musabe munaaweebwa; buli asaba aweebwa. Lino lye tteeka ly’obwakabaka eritakyuka era ery’emirembe gyonna: bw’osaba n’otofuna, kiteekwa kuba nti waliwo ekikyamu oba ekibulamu mu kusaba. Gumiikiriza; leka Ekigambo n’Omwoyo bikuyigirize okusaba obulungi, naye toleka bwesige bw’ayagala okuzuukusa: Buli asaba aweebwa.

‘Musabe, munaaweebwa.’ Kristo talina kikubiriza kya maanyi kusinga kino eky’okunyiikira mu kusaba mu ssomero lye. Ng’omwana bw’ateekwa okukakasa nti okubala kwe kutuufu, bwe kityo n’ekiraga nti tusabye bulungi kwe kuddibwamu. Bwe tusaba ne tutafuna, kiba kubanga tetunnayiga kusaba bulungi. Kale buli muyizi mu ssomero lya Kristo akkirize ekigambo ky’Omusomesa nga bwe kiri, mu bwesimbu bwonna: Buli asaba aweebwa. Yalina ensonga ennungi okwogera bw’atyo awatali kakwakkulizo. Twekuume obutanafuya Kigambo n’amagezi gaffe ag’obuntu. Bw’atubuulira eby’omu ggulu, tumukkirize: Ekigambo kye kijja kwenyonnyola kyokka eri oyo akikkiriza mu bujjuvu. Ebibuuzo n’ebizibu bwe bijja, tuleme kunoonya kubimalawo nga tetunnakkiriza Kigambo. Nedda; byonna tubimukwase: kye kikye okubigonjoola; omulimu gwaffe kwe kusooka okukkiriza mu bujjuvu n’okunyweza ekisuubizo kye. Mu kisenge kyaffe eky’omunda, ne mu kisenge eky’omunda eky’omutima gwaffe, Ekigambo kino kiwandiikibwe mu nnukuta ez’ekitangaala: Buli asaba aweebwa.

Okusinziira ku kuyigiriza kuno okw’Omusomesa, okusaba kulina ebitundu bibiri, enjuyi bbiri: olw’omuntu n’olwa Katonda. Olw’omuntu kwe kusaba, olwa Katonda kwe kuwa. Oba, bwe tubitunuulira byombi ku ludda lw’omuntu, waliwo okusaba n’okufuna—ebitundu ebibiri ebikola ekimu ekijjuvu. Kiringa ayagala okutubuulira nti tetulina kuwummula nga tetunnaddibwamu, kubanga ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala, lye tteeka mu maka ga Kitaffe: buli kusaba okw’obwana era okw’okukkiriza kuddibwamu. Bwe watabaawo kuddibwamu, tetulina kutuula mu bugayaavu obwefuula okugondera, ne tulowooza nti Katonda tayagala kuddamu. Nedda; mu kusaba muteekwa okubaamu ekitali nga Katonda bw’ayagala kibeere, eky’obwana era eky’okukkiriza; tuteekwa okunoonya ekisa okusaba mu ngeri okuddibwamu mwe kuyinza okujjira. Kyangu nnyo eri omubiri okugondera awatali kuddibwamu okusinga okwewaayo okukeberebwa n’okutukuzibwa Omwoyo, okutuusa lwe guyize okusaba okusaba okw’okukkiriza.

Kye kimu ku bubonero obw’entiisa obw’obulwadde obuli mu bulamu bw’Ekikristaayo mu nnaku zino, nti bangi nnyo bamatira nga tebalina kumanya kwa ddala okw’okuddibwamu okusaba. Basaba buli lunaku, basaba ebintu bingi, era beesiga nti ebimu ku byo binaawulirwa, naye bamanyi kitono ku kuddibwamu okw’olwatu era okutegeerekeka ng’etteeka ly’obulamu obwa buli lunaku. Ate kino Kitaffe ky’ayagala: anoonya okussa ekimu n’abaana be buli lunaku ng’abawuliriza era ng’abawa bye basaba. Ayagala nzije gy’ali buli lunaku n’okusaba okutegeerekeka; ayagala buli lunaku ankolere kye nsaba. Abatukuvu ab’edda baayiga okumanya Katonda ng’Omulamu nga bayita mu kuddibwamu kw’okusaba kwabwe, ne bakubirizibwa okutendereza n’okwagala (Zabbuli 34; 66:19; 116:1). Omuyigiriza waffe alindirira okukisimba mu mitima gyaffe: okusaba n’okuddibwamu kwakwo, omwana ng’asaba ne kitaawe ng’awa, bigendera wamu.

Wayinza okubaawo embeera ng’okuddibwamu kwe kugaanibwa, kubanga ekisabibwa tekituukagana na Kigambo kya Katonda, nga Musa bwe yasaba okuyingira Kanani. Naye era waliwo okuddibwamu: Katonda teyaleka muddu we mu kubuusabuusa ku by’ayagala. Bakatonda b’amawanga bakasiru era tebayinza kwogera. Kitaffe amanyisa omwana we bw’atayinza kumuwa ky’asaba, n’omwana n’aggyayo okusaba kwe, ng’Omwana bwe yakola mu Gesusemane. Musa omuddu ne Kristo Omwana bombi baamanya nti kye baali basaba tekyali nga Mukama bwe yali ayogedde: okusaba kwabwe kwali kwegayirira okw’obuwombeefu oba nga tekisoboka ekyasalibwawo okukyusibwa. Katonda ajja kuyigiriza abo abayigirizika era abamuwa ebbanga, ng’ayita mu Kigambo kye n’Omwoyo we, oba kye basaba kituukagana n’ebyo by’ayagala oba nedda. Tuggyeyo okusaba kwaffe, bwe kiba nga tekituukagana na ndowooza ya Katonda, oba tunyiikire okutuusa okuddibwamu lwe kujja. Okusaba kwateekebwawo okufuna okuddibwamu. Mu kusaba n’okuddibwamu kwakwo mwe mubeera okuwaanyisiganya okwagala wakati wa Kitaffe n’omwana we.

Nga omutima gwaffe guteekwa okuba nga gweyawudde nnyo ku Katonda, nti tukizuula nga kizibu nnyo okukwata ebisuubizo nga bino. Ne bwe tukkiriza ebigambo era ne tukkiriza amazima gaabyo, okukkiriza okw’omutima, okubirina mu bujjuvu ne kubisanyukira, kujja mpola nnyo. Kiri bwe kityo kubanga obulamu bwaffe obw’omwoyo bukyali bunafu nnyo, n’obusobozi bw’okutwala ebirowoozo bya Katonda tebulina maanyi. Naye katutunuulire Yesu atuyigirize nga tewali mulala ayinza kuyigiriza nga Ye. Bwe tukkiriza ebigambo bye mu bwesimbu, ne tumwesiga okubifuula mu ffe obulamu n’amaanyi ng’ayita mu Mwoyo we, bijja kuyingira bwe bityo munda mu ffe, amazima ga Katonda ag’omwoyo ge birimu ne gatwefuga ddala, era tetugenda kumatira okutuusa buli kusaba kwe tuwaayo nga kusitulibwa okugenda mu ggulu ku bigambo bya Yesu yennyini: ‘Musabe, munaaweebwa.’

Abayigirizwa bannange mu ssomero lya Yesu! twemalire ku kuyiga essomo lino obulungi. Tukwate ebigambo bino nga bwe byayogerwa. Tuleme kukkiriza magezi ga buntu kunafuya maanyi gaabyo. Tubikwate nga Yesu bw’abituwa, tubikkirize. Ajja kutuyigiriza mu kiseera ekituufu okubitegeera mu bujjuvu: katutandike n’okubikkiriza awatali kubuusabuusa. Tuwengayo obudde, buli lwe tusaba, okuwuliriza eddoboozi lye: Buli asaba aweebwa. Tuleme kufuula bye tuyiseemu ebinafu olw’obutakkiriza bwaffe ekipimo ky’ebyo okukkiriza kwaffe bye kuyinza okusuubira. Tunoonye, si mu biseera byaffe eby’okusaba byokka, naye mu biseera byonna, okunyweza obukakafu obw’essanyu: okusaba kw’omuntu ku nsi n’okuddamu kwa Katonda mu ggulu byategekebwa okugendera wamu. Twesige Yesu atuyigirize okusaba bwe tutyo okuddibwamu kulyoke kusobole okujja. Ajja kukikola, bwe tunaanyweza ekigambo ky’atuwa leero: ‘Musabe, mujja kuweebwa.’

‘MUKAMA, TUYIGIRIZE OKUSABA.’

Ayi Mukama Yesu! nnyigiriza okutegeera n’okukkiriza ky’onsuubizza kaakano. Tekikukwekeddwa, Ayi Mukama wange, n’empaka ki omutima gwange ze gunoonya okwematiza nazo, nga sifunye kuddibwamu. Waliwo ekirowoozo nti okusaba kwange tekukwatagana na kuteesa kwa Kitaffe okw’ekyama; nti oboolyawo waliwo ekisingako obulungi ky’oyagala okumpa; oba nti okusaba ng’okussa ekimu ne Katonda gwe mukisa ogumala awatali kuddibwamu. Naye, Mukama wange Omutendereze, nsanga mu kuyigiriza kwo ku kusaba nga toyogera ku bintu bino, wabula wagamba lwatu ddala nti okusaba kuyinza era kuteekwa okusuubira okuddibwamu. Otukakasa nti kuno kwe kussa ekimu kw’omwana ne Kitaffe: omwana asaba ne Kitaffe n’awa.

Mukama Omutendereze! Ebigambo byo byesigwa era bya mazima. Kiteekwa okuba nti olw’okuba nsaba bubi, kyenva sirina bukakafu bulungi bwa kuddibwamu kw’okusaba kwange. Kiteekwa okuba nti olw’okuba mbeera kitono nnyo mu Mwoyo, okusaba kwange kwe kuva kubeera kitono mu Mwoyo, n’amaanyi g’okusaba okw’okukkiriza ne gabula.

Mukama! nnyigiriza okusaba. Mukama Yesu! nkwesiga olw’ekyo; nnyigiriza okusaba mu kukkiriza. Mukama! nnyigiriza essomo lino erya leero: Buli asaba aweebwa. Amiina.
