Okubuuka

Katonda bw’afuka amafuta ge ku buweereza bw’omuntu, omuntu oyo, abe musajja oba mukazi, ajja kutegeera kye kitegeeza ‘okutumbiira n’ebiwaawaatiro ng’empungu’. Ajja kuwulira empewo z’Omwoyo nga zimusitula, ng’atumbiira waggulu ennyo okusinga obulamu obwa bulijjo abakkiriza abalala abangi bwe babeeramu. Ekikoligo kijja kuba kyangu, n’omugugu tegujja kuzitowa.

Mu ssuula eziyise nnyogeddemu ebyafaayo bingi ebikwata ku bamu ku abo be nnafuna omukisa okumanya obulamu bwabwe. Nnakwatibwa ku ssanyu lyabwe eryayaka, ne mpulira ku mafuta gaabwe, era kaakano tewali kintu kirala kiyinza kummatiza mu buweereza bwange wabula ekyo. Tewali kintu kimmatiza era kimpa okujjuzibwa okusinga okumala ebiseera n’abakkiriza abavubuka abalina enjala y’eby’omwoyo, abanoonya okutambula ne Mukama mu bujjuvu obusingawo. Bwe nsobola okubakulembera ne batuuka mu bulamu obw’Ekikristaayo obulungi era obujjuvu, nga tebalina bulumi na biwundu abangi bye beetisse, era nga baweereza mu kirabo kyabwe, mmanya essanyu ‘eritayogerekeka, erijjudde ekitiibwa!” Awo, mba mpulira okuba okumpi ne Mukama nga nsibiddwa naye mu kikoligo kimu, kubanga omugugu gwe gwe mba nneetisse, ogwo gwe yampa okwetikka awamu naye.

Ka mbabuulire ku balala be nnasisinkana. Amannya agamu mujja kugamanya, abalala tebamanyiddwa gye muli, naye Mukama abamanyi.

Jackie Pullinger.

Bwe nnamanya Jackie mu 1967-69, fembi twali basomesa abavubuka mu Hong Kong.

Emirundi ebiri nnagenda naye mu ‘mpuku y’ogusota’ (ekibuga ky’e Kowloon ekyetooloddwa bbugwe, ekyali kimanyiddwa nnyo olw’obubi bwakyo) ng’akuba enkuŋŋaana z’abaana. Embeera teyali nnyangu, era abalala batono ddala abaali bayinza okugezaako okugendayo naye.

Twatambulanga mu nguudo enfunda nga twegendereza nnyo obutalinnya mu kazambi akaali kakulukuta wakati mu kkubo. Lumu, twasanga omusajja ng’agalamidde mu kazambi, nga ‘atamidde’ heroin. Nnayamba Jackie okumwesigika ku kisenge, ne ndyoka ntunula ng’anaaza amaaso ge n’akatambaala ke akayonjo.

Mu kiseera ekyo, nnamutwala ng’atalina njawulo n’abakazi abavubuka abalala abangi abaali baagala okuweereza Mukama. Yandibadde n’obuvumu obusingako katono ku bw’abasinga obungi - oba obusirusiru, ng’abaminsani abalala bangi bwe baalowooza - naye yali kimu kyokka ku ‘binafu n’ebisirusiru’ Mukama by’andikozesezza. Nnalaba okwennyamira kwe, ne nsaba naye olw’embeera ‘etalina ssuubi’ ey’abantu abangi be yali ayaayaanira okutuusa eri Omulokozi we. Tewali mukazi oba musajja muvubuka asoma ekitabo kino atalina busobozi bwe bumu ‘mu Kristo’ okukyusa ensi eno nga Jackie Pullinger bw’abulina. Yandyanguyirizza okukkiriza nti si ye, wabula “Kristo abeera mu ye” ye yaleeta obuwanguzi.

Emyaka mingi oluvannyuma, bwe nnali nsoma ekitabo kya Jackie Chasing The Dragon, nnalaba bwe yagamba nti teyawuliranga kutya mu kifo ekyo ekibi, ne bwe yatiisibwatiisibwanga okukwatibwa olw’empaka n’okuttibwa abawangaalira ku biragalalagala n’abakulembeze b’ebibinja by’abamenyi b’amateeka abaabeeranga eyo.

Kino kyali kimwewuunyisa, era nga tekitegeerekeka eri abalala, naye kyali bujulizi obw’amazima obw’amafuta ga Katonda ku buweereza bwe, ekintu ensi y’Abakristaayo yonna kaakano ky’ekkiriza.

Major A.S.

Major S. yali wa Salvation Army, ekibiina ekimanyiddwa okusinga olw’emirimu gyakyo egy’okuyamba abantu okusinga olw’ababuulizi baakyo ab’amaanyi. Kyokka, mu mwaka gwe nnamalirizaamu yunivasite, yajja mu kibuga kyaffe okukuba enkuŋŋaana za wiiki emu mu kizimbe kya Salvation Army eky’omu kitundu kyaffe (citadel). Oluvannyuma lw’akawungeezi akasooka, enkuŋŋaana zaakyusibwa ne zitwalibwa mu Apostolic Church, kubanga ekizimbe ekyo kyali kitono nnyo eri obungi bw’abantu abajja. Wadde nga yali tamanyiddwa eri abasinga obungi abatali ba S.A., amawulire ag’amafuta amangi gaabuna okuva mu kamwa okudda mu kalala, era mu bwangu abantu bangi nnyo ne beeyongera okujja mu nkuŋŋaana. Wiiki bwe yatuuka wakati, Apostolic Church nayo yali nfunda nnyo, era ekifo kyalina okukyusibwa nate!

Nnali nsomera ebibuuzo byange ebisembayo, kale ssaasobola kubaawo mu nkuŋŋaana nnyingi. Kyokka, nnaliwo akawungeezi k’Olwokuna Major S. bwe yayimirira okwogera, n’akebera essaawa ye, n’agitunuulira omulundi ogwokubiri akaseera, n’aleekaana nti, “Nsonyiwa nnyo! Nnali simanyi nti ekiseera kyange kyali kimaze okuggwaako. Mbasaba munsonyiwe olw’okubasigaza wano ekiro kiyise. Mmanyi nti bangi ku mmwe mulina bbaasi ze mulina okukwata, kale ka mmaliire wano, omulamwa guno ngugende mu maaso enkya akawungeezi.” Tewali n’omu yasitukawo, waabaawo akasiriikiriro okutuusa omusajja omu mu kibiina lwe yayimuka n’agamba nti, “Ssebo, toyinza kutuleka wano! Tuli mu maaso ga Mukama. Tukwegayiridde genda mu maaso.”

Major S. yasaba bonna abaalina okugenda bagende, naye nga tewali n’omu asituka, yeeyongera okwogera okumala essaawa nga kitundu. Akawungeezi ako waaliwo bangi abaalina okuyita takisi oba okusaba mikwano gyabwe okubatwala eka, kubanga bbaasi ezisembayo zaali zimaze okugenda.

Mu nnaku zino abantu mwe baagalira okubuulira okwa ‘serendipity’, okusanyusa obusanyusa, era ababuulizi batono nnyo abasobola okusigaza ekibiina kyabwe bwe babuulira okusukka eddakiika amakumi ana, tuyinza okwebuuza Major S. kye yalina ekyatusibira nga tuwulirizza n’obwagazi okusukka eddakiika kyenda. Eky’okuddamu ge mafuta.

Dr Martin Lloyd Jones

Tewali n’omu eyafuna omukisa okutuula wansi w’obuweereza bw’omubuulizi ono omukulu ayinza okubuusabuusa amafuta ge. Nnamutunuulira ku bawungeezi ba wakati mu wiiki ng’ayigiriza okuva mu Kitabo ky’Abaruumi ekibiina ekyali kikoleddwa okusinga abayizi ba yunivasite okuva mu bitendekero eby’enjawulo ebya University of London. Okubalirira, abawuliriza baali nga enkumi ttaano, ng’ayimiridde mu katuuti ke akagulumivu mu Westminster Chapel ng’ayogera Ekigambo. Sikakasa oba yakozesa ebyuma ebyongera eddoboozi, ebyo leero ebitwalibwa ng’ebyetaagisa ennyo ne mu bizimbe by’ekkanisa ebisinga obutono, naye yalina eddoboozi eddene erivuga nnyo, ne kinneeteera okubuusabuusa oba byali byetaagisa. Yalina ebikolwa by’omubiri bitono, tewaali kya kwewunda mu byambalo oba mu ngeri ye, obusikiriza (charisma) bwali butono naye ebirabo eby’Omwoyo (charismata) byali bya mazima - n’amafuta.

Y. R.

Y. yali anaanaagira nnyo nga kyali tekisoboka kunyumya naye. Ng’akyali muvubuka yavunaanibwa omusango gw’obubbi, era yali alindirira okuwozesebwa awamu ne bannaakibinja kye, bwe yawaayo obulamu bwe eri Mukama.

Banne bonna baasindikibwa mu bifo ebikuumirwamu abavubuka abamenyi b’amateeka, naye Y., wadde nga ye yali omukulembeze w’ekibinja, yateebwa n’akwasibwa omusumba w’omu kitundu amulabirire. Omulamuzi oyo ow’amagezi yali amanyi nti Katonda asobola nnyo okulongoosa obulamu obwonoonese okusinga emyaka egimalibwa mu kkomera. Lumu, nga wayiseewo emyaka ebiri oba esatu, mu kiseera ekyo nze naye nga tufuuse mikwano ddala, Y. yayagala mmutegekere olukuŋŋaana mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe asobole okubuulira buli omu Mukama kye yamukolera.

Wadde nga nnagezaako okumuggyako ekirowoozo ekyo olw’olulimi lwe olunaanaagira, yakalambira, era nnalina okuyimirira nga nneewuunya Mukama bwe yatwala ekibya ekyo ekinafu, n’ayogerera mu ye n’obutegeerekeka, n’afuka amafuta ku buweereza bwe. Nnamanya ekyama kye oluvannyuma lw’akaseera katono, kubanga kumpi buli kawungeezi yagendanga mu kasenge k’omu nnimiro mwe yalina emmeeza, entebe, ettaala ne Bayibuli. Wadde nga teyasoma nnyo, Y. yafuuka omuyizi wansi ku bigere bya Yesu. Yafuuka omubuulizi eyayitibwanga buli kiseera mu nkuŋŋaana z’ababuulizi abatali basumba, era ebibiina ebinene byajjanga okuwulira okubuulira kwe okujjudde amafuta. Atambuddeko emirundi ebiri okuweereza mu Canada, era yalina okugaana okuyitibwa okuba omusumba eyo ne mu Great Britain.

A.J.

A. yali mu ssomero ly’abasomesa, okunyigirizibwa kw’emirimu gyonna n’obutaba na mikwano gya kumpi bwe byamuleetera okulowooza ku kwetta. Bwe yali atambula ku lubalama lw’ennyanja lumu, yalaba akapapula nga kafuuyibwa empewo ku musenyu. Kaali kapapula akabuulira Enjiri, era bwe yakasoma, Omwoyo wa Mukama n’akola ku mmeeme ye okutuusa lwe yafukamira awo ku lubalama lw’ennyanja, n’akaaba, n’asaba Mukama amulokole. Yatandika okujja mu kkanisa yaffe. Oluvannyuma lw’akaseera katono yasaba okuba nga yandisobodde okutontoma ekitontome mu kusinza kwa Ssande.

Omusumba yakkiriza, nga yeekengera katono kubanga kino kyali si kya bulijjo mu kkanisa, naye tumwebaza nnyo olw’okukkiriza. Buli mutima gwakwatibwa, era amaziga g’essanyu agookya gaali ku buli maaso, A. bwe yatutwala mu kubeera ne Mukama okuggya ng’ayita mu bigambo bye ebyajjudde amafuta. Njagala okutontoma ebitontome, naye sisobola kukwata bantu bwe nti! Twasuubiriranga buli kiseera A. lwe yandiweerezza mu mafuta ago.

H. W.

H. yajja eri Mukama ng’akyali mutiini, oluvannyuma lw’okwenyigira mu lutalo lw’oku luguudo mwe yalowooza nti yali asse omusajja. Eky’essanyu, okutya kwe kwali tekuliiko nsonga, naye, mu kutya kwe, yajja mu kkanisa yaffe enkya ku makya, n’awulira Enjiri omulundi ogusooka, ne yeewaayo eri Mukama. Yali tategeera njigiriza wadde enzikiriza ez’enjawulo (denominations), kale yagendanga okuva mu kkanisa emu okudda mu ndala buli we yalabanga oluggi nga luggule, ng’ayingira okwegatta ku lukuŋŋaana lwonna olwabanga lugenda mu maaso. Bwe lwabanga lukuŋŋaana lwa kusaba, tekyalwawo ng’ayimiridde asaba. Ntudde mu nkuŋŋaana nnyingi ezikaze ng’enfuufu, okutuusa H. lwe yayimirira okusaba. Awo eggulu ne libikkuka, Katonda n’amanyisa okubeerawo kwe mu ffe. Waaliwo amafuta ku kusaba kw’omusajja ono omwangu ge ssaamanyanga ku kusaba kwange, kubanga yasobolanga okusiiwuula eggulu n’ebigambo ebitono.

C.Mc.

Ntudde mu nkuŋŋaana nnyingi ne mpuliriza okuyimba nga kukulemberwa Ekibinja ky’Okutendereza n’Okusinza (Praise & Worship Team) . Nnalagirwanga ddi we nkubira mu ngalo ne ddi we ntuula oba we nnyimirira, nga ŋŋambibwa okuyimba n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka oba ddi we mpuliriza ebivuga byokka. Oluusi nsobodde okwegattako ebigambo bwe mba mbimanyi, naye nkikkiriza nti ekyo kigenda kyeyongera okubeera ekitatera kubaawo.

P&W kyali tekitegeeza kisukka ku kuyimbira awamu, nga mu kwo, abo abaali abasinza baasobolanga okusinza mu kyama (singa baasobolanga okuggalira ebweru oluyoogaano olwabeetooloolanga emirundi mingi!)

Kyokka C. bwe yatuulanga ku piyano n’atukulembera mu kusinza, okumanya ebigambo byonna kyali tekyetaagisa, kubanga yatutwalanga mu maaso ga Mukama, ne tuba ‘nga tubulidde mu kwewuunya, okwagala n’okutendereza’. Yasinzanga naffe ne tusinza. Teyalondanga nnyimba olw’engeri yaazo ey’ennyimba, entegeka y’amaloboozi gaazo oba entambula yaazo, wabula kubanga zaatulagangako Yesu. Teyatuzannyisanga nga yo-yo ng’akyusakyusa ennyimba ez’obujulirwa oba ez’olutalo n’ez’okusinza, ng’akyukira wakati w’ezitunuulira wabbali (okuyimbira bannaffe) n’ezitunuulira waggulu (okwogera eri Mukama). Obuweereza bwe obw’okukulembera okusinza bwalina amafuta, era bonna abaaliwo baakimanya.

Bwe nnabanga ow’okwogera, emirundi mingi nnakikolanga ku ntandikwa y’olukuŋŋaana, tusobole okujja mu kusinza ku nkomerero, nga tewali n’omu alina kuvaawo okutuusa ng’awulidde nti ekiseera kituuse. Mu nkuŋŋaana nnyingi, waabangawo abantu abawerako abasigalawo ebbanga ddene abalala nga bamaze okugenda, nga beetaaga okusigala mu maaso ga Katonda. Enjawulo eri wakati w’okusinza kwe okw’amafuta n’ebingi ku bye nfunye mu bifo ebirala, ennzizaamu okukkiriza nti Mukama akyanoonya abo abamusinza mu mwoyo ne mu mazima.

C.N.

Nnali mu mwaka gwange ogusooka ng’omusumba w’ekkanisa, era nnali nfaayo nnyo okutegekera abantu bange emmere ey’omwoyo ennungi buli wiiki. Saayagala kusibibwa mu nteekateeka y’okuyigiriza eyandisobose okuteebererwa wiiki eziwerako nga tezinnatuuka, wabula nnanoonyanga Mukama okufuna ebipya eby’okubuulira buli lumu.

N’olwekyo, buli Lwakusatu nnasibanga oluggi lw’ofiisi yange, ne nsimbula essimu, ne mmala ebbanga nga nsoma Ekigambo, nga nnoonya Mukama ky’alina eri abantu bange.

Abakadde b’ekkanisa baali bateeseteese essaawa emu ey’okusinza ng’ey’okuyigiriza Ekigambo, bwe batyo baasuubiranga ‘ennyama’ mu kubuulira buli Ssande. Emirundi mingi nnalinnyanga akatuuti nga nkakasa nti nnina Ekigambo kye, naye era waaliwo emirundi mingi nga ntya.

C., omu ku bakadde, yateranga okuyimirira mu kitundu ky’okusinza ekisooka, nga bwe yali empisa ye, okusoma ekitundu ky’Ebyawandiikibwa. Emirundi egiwerako, nga ku ntera mu wiiki ze nnabanga sikakasa nti mpulidde okuva eri Mukama, C. yalangiriranga ekitundu ky’agenda okusoma, nange ne ntuula nga nneewuunya ng’asoma ekitundu ekyetoolodde ennyiriri zange ez’oku makya ago! Osobola okuteebereza obuvumu ekyo kye kyampanga okumanya nti ddala nnali mpulidde okuva eri Mukama, era nti nnalina obubaka bwe obw’oku makya ago. Tewali ngeri C. gye yandisobodde kumanyaamu mulamwa gwange oba ennyiriri zange buli wiiki, naye yali awulidde eddoboozi lya Mukama nga limulaga Ebyawandiikibwa eby’olunaku olwo.

Ago ge mafuta.

A.A.

Nnafuna omukisa okukolera awamu ne A., ow’oluganda Omwafirika, bwe nnali omusumba ku kyombo Mercy Ship M/V Anastasis wakati wa 1991 ne 1994. Obuvunaanyizibwa bwe bwali kukakasa nti amazzi ku kyombo bulijjo ganywebwa era nga tegaliimu buwuka obutera okubeera mu mazzi ga Afirika.

Ku Lwakubiri akawungeezi nnasomesanga ekibiina ekitono eky’abo abaayagalanga okumala ebbanga nga beetegekera obuweereza obw’obusumba obwandibaddewo mu maaso, era A. yali mmemba w’ekibinja ekyo eyakinyiikiranga. Kyokka buli lwe yayogeranga, nnawulirizanga ng’ye omusomesa nange ng’ndi muyizi, kubanga ebigambo bye byali bijjudde okutegeera kw’omuntu eyeennyise mu Kigambo.

Mu lumu ku ntambula zaffe ez’obuminsani mu West Africa, A. yasabibwa okuyamba mu kukwasaganya ebibiina by’abantu ku ddwaliro ly’amannyo ery’omu kyalo eryali litegekeddwa Mercy Ships. Yakola omulimu gwe n’obunyiikivu, ng’atera okubuulira Enjiri Abasiraamu abaalindiriranga n’obugumiikiriza omulundi gwabwe okulabibwa abasawo baffe ab’amannyo. Abasiraamu ba West Africa si balwanyi, era abasinga obungi bategeera kitono nnyo ku bye Obusiraamu bwe buyigiriza, kale bassaamu ekitiibwa buli muntu omutukuvu , abe Musiraamu, Mukristaayo, oba omulaguzi asamira emizimu. Lumu A. yasabibwa okusabira abasajja abakadde babiri, bombi nga balina endwadde ezaabalemaza, kale yakola nga bwe baamusaba, ng’abakakasa nti yali agenda kusaba ‘mu linnya lya Yesu’ lyokka. Bombi baawonyezebwa amangu ago, ne batalwa kukkiriza nti okuwona kwabwe kwava eri Mukama, ekyaviirako omukulu w’ekyalo ekyo okulangirira nti okuva olwo kyali kifuuse “ekyalo kya Yesu.” Kino tekyali kya kitalo eri A., era waaliwo ebyokulabirako ebirala ebiwerako ebifaanana bwe bityo ebiraga amafuta ga Katonda ku buweereza bwe.

I & A

Nze nnagattira I. ne A. mu bufumbo, nga sisuubira nnyo nti Mukama yandibakozesezza mu buweereza bwonna ‘obwennyini’.

Baali bafumbo ba bulijjo abaayagala okuba obulamu obutatabuddwatabuddwa bifo bya nsi, bintu oba kunyigirizibwa, kale baali beewuumudde mu maka gaabwe okumpi n’olubalama lw’ennyanja. Saabalaba nate okumala emyaka egiwerako, era nnali mmanyi kitono ku ngeri gye baali babeeramu, okutuusa mukwano gwange lwe yankyalira n’atandika okunnyumiza ku buweereza obw’ekitalo obw’okuwabula n’okuwonyezebwa okw’omunda bwe yali yaakafuna.

Yayogera ku musajja n’omukazi abaali bamuyambye nnyo n’ebirabo byabwe eby’okwawula n’ebigambo eby’amagezi, era abaali bamusomooza nga bamulaga ebintu mu bulamu bwe ebyali byetaaga okukyusibwa. Yeewuunya nga bw’abawuliriza, era yakitegeera nti baali bakulemberwa Mukama. Yeeyongera okuŋŋamba nti, wadde nga tebaali ba kkanisa yonna oba ba kibiina kyonna ekikolera awamu n’ekkanisa, baafunanga essimu okuva mu bitundu by’eggwanga eby’enjawulo okuva mu bantu abaanoonyanga okuwabulwa kwabwe n’okusabirwa.

Nnayogera nti nnandyagadde okusisinkana abafumbo bano ab’ekitalo, naye nneewuunya nnyo bwe yampa amannya gaabwe. “Nedda, si bo!” bwe nnaleekaana, “Nze nnabagattira mu bufumbo, era saaloota n’akatono ku busobozi obungi bwe baalina mu kuweereza Mukama!” Naye Mukama ye yabumanya - era amafuta ge gali ku bo!

M.M.

Nnali njogera ne mukwano gwange omusumba ku mulamwa gw’ekitabo kino, bwe yannyumiza emboozi eno wammanga.

Yali aweereza ekkanisa mu bitundu bya Canada eby’ensenyi (prairie provinces) bwe yafuna essimu nti omu ku bantu b’ekkanisa ye yali mulwadde. Amangu ago n’agenda okukyalira omulwadde oyo, n’asobola okumubudaabuda.

Bwe yali ava mu kisenge, yayogera ku kamuli akalungi ak’ebimuli eby’omu nsiko akaali mu ccupa y’ebimuli ku mabbali g’ekitanda. Baamugamba nti “M. y’abiweerezza olw’eggulo luno.”

Wiiki ntono oluvannyuma, mukwano gwange yakyalira amaka amalala era yali alya keeki gye baali bamuwadde. Yatendereza nnyinimu, naye n’agambibwa nti “M. y’aginneetedde olw’eggulo luno.”

Oluvannyuma lw’ebintu ebiwerako ebifaanana bwe bityo, omusumba yeewuunya erinnya lya M. okuddiŋŋana. Yali mukazi mukadde atafumbirwanga mu kkanisa ye, eyasobolanga okuyita nga tategeereddwa mu lukuŋŋaana lwonna. Teyayogeranga kintu kyonna, era yali muntu eyeekwekanga nnyo mu mpisa ze. Yasalawo okukyalira M. okuzuula engeri gye yamanyangamu obulwadde bw’abantu mu kkanisa ng’ab’omu maka tebannamutegeeza. Okusooka yatya katono, ng’alowooza nti omusumba yali amunenya olw’obuvumu bwe obw’okukubira abalwadde essimu, okubakyalira oba okubaweereza ebimuli ne keeki, naye yamukakasa mangu nti si bwe kyali.

M. yamubuulira engeri gye yasabiranga buli muntu mu kkanisa buli kawungeezi, ng’abayita amannya mu kusaba kwe. Lumu, erinnya ly’omusajja omukadde eyafiirwa mukyala we lyamujjiranga mu birowoozo buli kaseera, n’ekirowoozo nti yandimukubidde essimu. Mazima ddala yatya okukikola ng’alowooza nti ebikolwa bye biyinza okutegeerwa obubi, naye ekirowoozo kyanywerera. Ku nkomerero, oluvannyuma lw’okulwawo okungi n’essaawa eziwerako ez’okweraliikirira, yakwata essimu n’amukubira. Bwe yamufuna, kyalabika lwatu nti omusajja oyo yali mu buzibu era ng’awulikika ng’atabuddwatabuddwa nnyo.

Yali agudde ne yeekosa, naye olw’okweraliikirira n’okutabulwatabulwa, teyamanya kya kukola oba namba za ssimu ki z’akuba. M. yamugamba ekigambo eky’okumugumya, oluvannyuma n’akubira omusawo essimu, eyagenda mangu mu nnyumba n’asobola okuyamba omusajja omukadde. Yeejjusa essaawa empanvu ze yali alwaddemu, n’amalirira nti mu maaso, buli lwe Mukama anaamukubirizanga, anaddangamu mangu ago ng’akubira essimu oba ng’akyalira buli muntu Mukama gw’anaabanga amwogeddeko.

Mukwano gwange omusumba yasanyuka nnyo nti M. yali azudde obuweereza bwe, era yamuwagira nnyo, ng’amukubiriza okweyongera n’omulimu omulungi, ng’agamba nti tateekwa kutya kusaba kkanisa kumusasulira ssente zonna ezikozesebwa mu kugula ebimuli, okufumba keeki, n’ebirala.

Yali azudde obuweereza bwe, era Mukama yali abufukako amafuta.

S.B.

S. yasibibwa mu kkomera olw’emisango egikwata ku biragalalagala. Wadde nga yali afuuse Omukristaayo emyaka egiwerako emabega, yali tabeerera Mukama, era yali muwambe wa biragalalagala eby’amaanyi awamu n’omwenge ne sigala. Yali alowoozezza ku kwetta ng’ekkubo lyokka ery’okuvaamu mu kavuyo obulamu bwe mwe bwali butuuse. Bwe yasumululwa mu kkomera, yagendanga mu nkuŋŋaana za AA, era eyo n’azza obuggya okwewaayo kw’obulamu bwe eri Kristo. Mu kaseera katono oluvannyuma lw’okukyuka kwe, Katonda yakyusa omusajja ono n’amuwa obuwanguzi ku buwambe bwonna.

Yatuuka okukkiriza nti teyali yeetaaga muggo gwa kumuwanirira asobole okusigala nga teyeddizza mu kutamiira, wabula nti Mukama yali amuwonyezza ddala - omulimu gwali guwedde. Yatandika omulimu omupya ng’ekibinja ekiwanirira abawambiddwa ebiragalalagala, nga gwesigamye ku kisuubizo ky’Ekigambo nti “Kristo yatufuula ab’eddembe”.

Mu kiseera kino we mpandikira, obuweereza bwe Connection To Freedom butandise okukola ekikolwa eky’amaanyi mu bawambiddwa ebiragalalagala, abasibe n’abaali abasibe ab’omu kibuga kyange eky’ewaffe, era waliwo amafuta agalabika ku mulimu ogwo, nga Mukama aggulawo enzigi mu bulamu bw’abantu ne mu bifo ekkanisa okutwalira awamu by’etasobola kuyingira. S. talwa kukkiriza nti Mukama akola ebintu eby’ekitalo mu ffe, era amanyi nga bwe kikulu okusigala mu kifo ky’okusiimibwa kwe n’amafuta ge.

Nkwese amannya g’abasinga ku bantu bano nga ngenderedde, naye bonna mbamanyi bulungi. Waliwo abalala bangi obulamu bwabwe obuliko obujulirwa obufaanana bwe butyo obw’amafuta ga Mukama, wadde nga si basumba, si batutumufu era ensi tebassaamu kitiibwa. Nkakasa nti ggwe, omusomi wange, oyinza okwongera obujulirwa obulala obuwerako ku lukalala luno. Amaanyi gaabwe, obuyinza bwabwe, obuweereza bwabwe tebiva mu kusikiriza kw’omuntu ku bubwe (abayimbi ab’ennyimba ez’omulembe ekyo bakirina), wadde mu busobozi bw’okwanjula obulungi mu lujjudde (abanamyuka ekyo bakirina), wadde mu bukodyo bw’obukulembeze obw’amagezi (abasuubuzi abawangudde ekyo bakirina), wabula biva mu kuyitibwa kwa Katonda, okutegekebwa n’okufukibwako amafuta.

Oyinza okuba nga wawulirako emboozi y’omuzannyi w’emizannyo omututumufu eyagenda ku kivvulu ky’ekkanisa. Yayitibwa okwatula ebitontome ebimu okusanyusa bonna, era n’akikola. Oluvannyuma lwa buli ky’ayanjula waabangawo okukuba mu ngalo okw’amaanyi, naddala bwe yamaliriza ng’ajuliza zabbuli enkulu ey’omusumba, Zabbuli 23.

Okukuba mu ngalo bwe kwakkakkana, omusajja omukadde yasituka ku ntebe ye, n’atambula okutuuka ku mayikolofooni, n’addamu zabbuli y’emu, ekigambo ku kigambo.

Ku mulundi guno, tewaali kukuba mu ngalo bwe yamaliriza, naye bangi baali basiimuula amaziga mu maaso gaabwe, n’abalala nga bakutamye emitwe gyabwe. Omuzannyi w’emizannyo n’asemberera omusajja omukadde.

“Nsaasaanyizza pawundi enkumi n’enkumi mu kusoma, era ntuuse ku ntikko y’omulimu gwange,” bwe yagamba, “naye sisobolangako kukwata mitima gy’abampuliriza nga bw’okoze kaakano. Ekyama kyo kye ki?”

Omusajja omukadde n’addamu nti, “Ggwe omanyi zabbuli - naye nze mmanyi Omusumba!”

Ekyo kye kyama ky’amafuta - okuba nga weegasse n’Omusumba. Okuba nga weesibiddwa naye mu kikoligo kimu nga mwetikka omugugu gwe (gw’akutikkidde) mwembi.
