Omugugu

Nkyajjukira bulungi akawungeezi we nnasabira Mukama ampe omugugu gw’abavubuka. Nnali musomesa mu ssomero ly’Eggye lya Bungereza (British Forces) mu Bugirimaani, era nnali mpulira nti obujulirwa bwange obw’akamwa eri abayizi bwali tebumala, kyennava nkaabirira mu kusaba nsabe omugugu gwe nnalowooza nti gwandimpadde amaanyi ag’okujulira ennyo. Saalaba kyanzibwa kyonna amangu ago, naye nnafuna obuvumu obusingako mu kwogera n’abamu ku bo.

Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka esatu, twali tuzzeeyo mu maka gaffe mu Wales, nga nsomesa mu ssomero erya Grammar School ery’omu kitundu kyaffe. Abawala abamu abatiini baayitangamu ewaffe nga bava ku ssomero okudda eka, Anne kyeyava ateesa nti abayigirize akatundu ka Bayibuli omulundi gumu buli wiiki. Baakkiriza n’essanyu lingi, era mu bbanga ttono ekibinja kyagattibwamu n’abalenzi ne kikula ne kisukka mu kkumi, bwe ntyo ne nneesanga nga nze nkulembera, nga ntegeka okuyiga kwa Bayibuli era nga ntegeka n’emirimu emirala.

Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka ebiri, twali tulabye abavubuka bangi ab’emyaka wakati wa kkumi na munaana ne abiri mu munaana nga bajja eri Mukama mu kukkiriza. Ekkanisa bbiri mu kibuga kyaffe zaali ziddiddemu obulamu, era ekyo kyakwata nnyo ku bantu ab’omu bitundu ebyetoolodde. Si kuba nti nnali mubuulizi wa Njiri - nedda n’akatono, naye abavubuka baakulembera mikwano gyabwe okukkiriza Kristo, nze ne mba ‘musumba’ waabwe bumusumba, ng’abakadde b’ekkanisa yaffe bampadde eddembe eryamala okukola kye nsiima. Emyaka egyaddirira, omu ku bavubuka abo, kati ali mu buweereza bwa Mukama obw’ekiseera kyonna, yagamba nti “Twali mu kuzuukuka kw’eddiini, so nga tetukitegeera!”

Kyali kya bulijjo gye tuli okulaba abakkiriza abapya mu wiiki ezisinga. Nnalyanga, ne nnywa, ne nneebaka, ne mbeera mu mulimu gw’abavubuka, mu buli kaseera ke nnafunanga mu lunaku, - era saakoowanga n’akatono! - (era saawuliranga nti neetaaga kusasulwa!)

Bwe nnafuuka omusumba emyaka mingi oluvannyuma, Anne yabuuzibwa njawulo ki eziriwo mu kuba mukyala wa musumba kati, ng’amaze ebbanga ddene ng’ali mukyala wa musomesa. Yaddamu nti kati nnali nkola ekiseera kyonna ekyo kye nnali mmaze ebiseera byange byonna eby’okwewummulamu nga nkola!

Waabangawo ebiseera, oluvannyuma lw’olunaku olukooya ku mulimu, lwe nnazuukusibwanga mu kitanda kyange mu ttumbi ly’ekiro kubanga omu ku bavubuka yali ayitamu ekizibu era ng’ayetaaga obuyambi - kaakano! Nnayambalanga empale yange ku ngoye zange ez’okwebaka, ne nnyingira mu mmotoka yange ne ŋŋenda okunoonya omuvubuka oyo ali mu kizibu, ne nkomawo eka oluvannyuma lw’essaawa eziwerako, ne nneesogga mu kitanda okwebakako katono nga sinnagenda ku ssomero. Ekyewuunyisa kyali nti akawungeezi akaddako saabanga mukooye, era saawuliranga nti neetaaga kwebaka mangu okuliyirira otulo. Kino kyaliwo emirundi egiwerako okutuusa lwe twategeera nti kwali kuzzibwamu amaanyi okutali kwa bulijjo okuva eri Mukama.

Yesu yagamba nti “Mujje gye ndi mmwe mwenna abakooye era abazitoowereddwa, nange nnaabawummuza. Musitule ekikoligo kyange, muyigire ku nze, kubanga ndi muwombeefu era omuteefu mu mutima, n’emyoyo gyammwe girifuna ekiwummulo. Kubanga ekikoligo kyange kyangu, n’omugugu gwange teguzitowa.”

Nnali nteekwa okubuulira ebiwungeezi bina mu kkanisa nnene mu Brazil. Omusumba eyali ansembezza yajja ku kifo kya YWAM we nnali nsula, okuntwala mu mmotoka ye okutuuka mu kkanisa ye. Yali wa myaka nga kitundu ky’egyange, omuntu ow’ekisa ennyo era ng’ayogera Olungereza bulungi nnyo.

“Omusumba Gareth” bwe yagamba, “Osobola otya okugenda mu maaso ng’okola n’amaanyi bw’otyo?” “Olabika ng’olina amaanyi agatakoma, so nga nze nkooye olw’okukulembera ekkanisa yange.” Yeeyongera okunnyonnyola nga bwe yabanga mu kkanisa buli nkya ku ssaawa 6.30am okusaba, era nga tatuuka ka buli kawungeezi okutuusa nga ssaawa 11pm ziyiseewo, ng’amaze okusiba ekizimbe oluvannyuma lw’olukuŋŋaana (olwa buli kiro).

Bwe nnamala okumukakasa nti nange nkoowa, kyenva neetaaga okuwummulako emisana, ne mmubuuza nti kkanisa y’ani gy’ali azimba. “Kale, ya Mukama nga bwe kiri!” bwe yaddamu. Ne mmugamba nti si kkanisa ya Mukama gye yali azimba, wabula eyiye ye, kubanga Mukama yennyini yagamba nti ‘Ekikoligo kyange kyangu, n’omugugu gwange teguzitowa . ’ Sitegeera ngeri ki abasumba abangi bwe batyo gye bakutukamu mu mibiri, so nga bakola wamu ne Kristo - nga basibiddwa naye mu kikoligo kimu - era ng’omugugu gwe teguzitowa! Mbeegayiridde temuŋŋamba nti bulijjo kiba lwa kubanga Setaani abalumba olw’ekifo kyabwe eky’obusumba bwokka! Teyeetaaga kubalumba nga bagezaako okuzimba obwakabaka bwa Katonda n’amaanyi gaabwe ne pulogulaamu zaabwe. Ekkanisa ng’eyo tagitya! Atya kkanisa eyo yokka Yesu gye yayogerako nti, “Ndizimba Ekkanisa YANGE, n’amaanyi gonna aga Setaani tegaligiwangula!”

Nnawa mukwano gwange ow’e Brazil amagezi nti kyandibadde kirungi singa yeewaayo okuta abalala mu kibiina kye bayambeko okwetikka omugugu, nga Mukama bwe yali abategese era bwe yali abagendereddemu. Olw’okukola omulimu gwonna yekka, yali aziyiza ebigendererwa bya Mukama eri ekibiina ekyo.

Omugugu gwe yennyini n’ekirabo kye ekyeyoleka byali mu kukulembera okusinza, naye obunyigirizi bw’emirimu emirala gyonna gye yawulira nti ateekwa okukola ng’omusumba, bwamunyaga essanyu lye yandifunye ng’aweereza mu kirabo kye, era ne bunyaga ekkanisa omukisa ogw’okuyingira mu maaso ga Mukama okuyita mu kutendereza n’okusinza okuliko amafuta.

Bwe tuba tusibiddwa naye mu kikoligo kimu, tugabana omugugu gwe. Omugugu gwe gye ndi gwali buweereza bw’abavubuka; eri omutume Pawulo gwali kubuulira Enjiri eri Abaamawanga; eri Jacky Pullinger gwali bantu abawangaalira ku biragalalagala mu The Walled City, Kowloon; eri Hudson Taylor gwali bantu abatannamanya Katonda ab’omu China; eri John Wesley gwali bantu ab’omu Bungereza abatagenda mu kkanisa; eri Chuck Colsen gwali basibe ab’omu makomera ga Amerika; eri .............

Omugugu gwe eri GGWE guli ki?

Alina omugugu gw’akuteekeddewo, era akulindiridde ogwetikke. Eky’ennaku, bangi abalina emigugu emizito mu mulimu gwa Mukama batera okusuubira abalala okugyetikka. “Ogwo mulimu gwa musumba! Lwaki takolako kintu? Waliwo ekizibu eky’amaanyi mu kibuga kino eky’ebibinja by’abavubuka abazirankonyo. Lwaki ekkanisa tekolako kintu?” Lwaki ggwe tokolako kintu? Kya lwatu, tulagirwa okwetikkiragana emigugu - ‘Muyambaganenga’ (Abaggalatiya 6:2) - egyo bwe giba obuzito bw’ennaku, naye omugugu bwe guba gwa buweereza oguva eri Mukama, ‘buli muntu aneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwe’ (Abaggalatiya 6:5). Bwe tugezaako okutikka abalala emigugu gyaffe, tuba tukola nga Abafalisaayo ab’omu biseera bya Yesu. Baabanga bulijjo bagamba abalala kye basaanidde okukola, Yesu kyeyava abayogerako nti, “Basiba emigugu emizito ne bagitikka abalala.”

Omuntu omulala bw’akutikka omugugu gwe ogw’obuweereza, guyinza okuzitowa nnyo; omugugu Yesu gw’akuteekeddewo gwokka gwe gunaaba ‘Mwangu’.

Nga kya nnaku nti ffe abakulembeze b’ekkanisa twe tusooka okutikka abalala ‘omugugu gwaffe’, oluusi nga tukozesa obukuusa, okuwaanawaana, oba okubawa omusango, okubakkirizisa okukola bye twagala.

“John, twetaaga omusomesa omulala ow’essomero lya Ssande, era nkikkiriza nti ggwe muntu atuukiridde omulimu ogwo!” John bw’aba nga ye ‘muntu atuukiridde,’ asaanidde n’okubeera n’omugugu gw’omulimu ogwo.

“Mary, ekibinja ky’abakyala kitandika okukyalira amaka nnyumba ku nnyumba okuyita abantu mu nkuŋŋaana zaffe. Nkakasa nti tuyinza okukwesiga nti tojja kutulemesa.”

Kya lwatu, John ne Mary bwe basabibwa okukola ‘obuweereza’ obwo, bulijjo basobola okukkiriza, ne bwe baba tebalina ‘mugugu,’ ng’ekikolwa eky’obwesigwa mu kuweereza ekkanisa (era tusuubira, ne Mukama), naye bateekwa okwegendereza baleme kwesiba mu bisuubizo ebiyinza okuziyiza Mukama okubayita mu buweereza obulala, obuli omugugu gwe ogw’amazima n’ekigendererwa kye eri bo. John ayinza okuddamu nti, “Yee, musumba, nzija kuba mwetegefu okusomesa ekibiina ky’essomero lya Ssande okumala akaseera. Nzija kwewaayo okumala emyezi esatu egiddako, nga kiyinza okuddibwamu emirundi emirala egya myezi esatu esatu, okutuusa Mukama lw’anaakintegeeza bulungi nti alina obuweereza obulala obusinga okutuukagana n’omugugu gwange.” Eky’ennaku, abasumba bangi kino bakitwala ng’obutali bwewaayo! Eri ani?

Jim yali muvubuka alina omugugu. Buli wiikendi, ye ne mikwano gye babiri baasabanga ekiro kyonna eky’Olwokutaano, ne balyoka bamala olunaku oluddako ku nguudo z’ekibuga kyaffe, nga bajulira eri buli muntu gwe baasobolanga okunyumyako naye. Abasumba baassangamu ekitiibwa omulimu gwa Jim, era baali basanyufu okumukkiriza okwetaba mu nkuŋŋaana zaabwe ez’abaweereza eza buli mwezi, newankubadde nga yali tali wa kkanisa yonna ey’omu kitundu era nga tagigendamu. Mu butuufu, yali munyoomi nnyo bwe kituukanga ku kwogera ku kkanisa z’ekibuga kyaffe. “Bonna bazannya buzannyi! Tewali n’omu ku bo afaayo ddala ku mulimu ogw’amazima ogw’okusaba, okwegayiririra abalala n’okubuulira Enjiri!” bwe yagambanga emirundi mingi eri buli eyamuwulirizanga.

Ssande emu, Roger yajja mu kusinza kwaffe okw’oku makya ga Ssande. Teyali amanyi bingi ku ‘mpisa ennungi’ ez’enkuŋŋaana z’ekkanisa, naye yali ayakaayakana n’ebbugumu ly’enkolagana ye empya ddala ne Mukama.

“Jim yankulembedde eri Kristo ekiro kya jjo,” bwe yaŋŋamba, “era yankakasizza nti nzije mu kkanisa eno nkangavvulwe!” Nnamunnyonnyola enjawulo eri wakati w’okukangavvulwa n’okufuulibwa omuyigirizwa.

Bwe nnaddamu okulaba Jim, nnayogera ku Roger, ne nnyongerako, nga mmwenya, nti kyalabika nga Jim kati yali mu mulimu gw’okuzaala abaana ab’ebweru, ng’abazaalira ku luguudo, naye ng’asuubira abalala okubakuza! Kino kyakwata ku Jim ddala, kubanga Ssande eyaddako yali mu kusinza kwaffe. Yabangawo wiiki ttaano eziddako, okutuusa lumu lwe twasisinkana ku ky’emisana.

“Kiki ekiri ku mutima gwo ennaku zino?” bwe nnabuuza.

“Kye kimu nga bulijjo - okusaba n’okwegayiririra abalala” bwe yaddamu.

“Olowooza ki ku bulamu bw’okusaba obw’ekkanisa yaffe?” “Sirowoozaako bingi! Tewali n’omu eyo alabika ng’afaayo ku kusaba okuwangula!” “Oo” bwe nnagamba, “mmanyi omusajja mu kkanisa yaffe alina omugugu gw’okusaba ogw’amazima. Obuwanvu bwe kumpi mita bbiri, alina enviiri enkwafu, era...” Jim yeeyagula omutwe nga nneeyongera okumunnyonnyola, ng’agezaako okulowooza omusajja oyo gw’ayinza okuba, okutuusa lwe nnayongerako nti yalina akatale ke akatono ng’omukubi w’ebifaananyi eby’obusuubuzi. “Naye oyo nze!” bwe yagamba, ng’antunuulira ng’alowooza nti nfiiriddwa amagezi.

“Kituufu!” bwe nnaleekaana. “Bwe kiri! Mbuulira Jim, lwaki Katonda akuwadde omugugu guno naye ng’oyagala nze ngwetikke? Nnina omugugu gwange gwe nneetikka mu mulimu gwa Mukama, era nkwetaaga okwetikka omugugu gwo ogw’okusaba ku lwange, ndyoke nsobole okwetikka omugugu gwange obulungi.”

“Kale nkole ki?” Jim bwe yabuuza.

“Ggwe osaanidde okumbuulira, so si nze kukubuulira. Ggwe alina omugugu, era omugugu ogwo bwe guba nga guva ddala eri Mukama, ye y’asaanidde okutubuulira engeri gy’onaagwetikkamu!”

“Abantu beetaaga okuyigirizibwa okusaba.”

“Kale, onookikola ddi?”

“Ki? Nze?”

“Yee, ggwe! Ggwe alina omugugu! Onootandika ddi okuyigiriza abantu okusaba?”

“Wiiki ejja?”

“Kale!”

Wiiki eyaddako Jim yatandika ekibiina, ekyalimu abantu abamu abakulu mu kibiina kyange n’abayizi abamu okuva mu Yunivasite y’omu kitundu, abaali bawulidde ku njigiriza ezo nga zirangirirwa ku ssomero. Oluvannyuma lw’okuyigirizibwa, abantu baatandika okusaba n’okwegayiririra abalala n’obunyiikivu, nga bagoberera ‘enkola’ Jim gye yali abayigirizza. Twali tuyingira mu mukwano ogw’oku lusegere ne Mukama era nga tuwulira eddoboozi ly’Omwoyo, nga litukulembera mu kusabira ebintu ebiri ku mutima gwa Mukama.

Mu mwaka gumu, ekibiina kyali kyeyongedde emirundi ebiri, abakadde baali balonze omusumba omubeezi, ekizimbe ekipya ddala kyali kimaliriziddwa nga kituuza abantu nga ebikumi bisatu, era nga kumpi kyonna kimaze okusasulirwa! Abakulembeze b’ekitundu ky’ekkanisa yange balowooza nti nnakola omulimu munene mu kkanisa eyo, eyali ebadde n’abantu abatono mu kusinza okumala emyaka egiwerako, naye mmanyi ekyaliwo - ne ggwe kati okimanyi. Kye nnali nkoze kyokka kwali kuta mpungu ebuuke!

Mukama yali atikkidde Jim omugugu gwe kubanga yali ayagala okumukozesa okuzimba abantu be. Bwe yateebwa mu buweereza, Katonda n’afuka amafuta ku mulimu ogwo.

Omugugu Gwo

Kiki ekisinga okuzitowa ku mutima gwo? Ggwe wekka asobola okuddamu ekibuuzo ekyo, newankubadde abalala bayinza okukuyamba okukinnyonnyola obulungi.

Bw’oba tolina mugugu gukwatagana na mulimu gw’Obwakabaka, nkwegayiridde saba Mukama akuwe ogumu era agukutegeeze. Bwe nnasaba Mukama omugugu gwange ogw’abavubuka, nnali sinnaba kutegeera nga bwe ntegeera kati nti omugugu gwe ‘teguzitowa.’ Okusaba kwange kwalimu ebigambo nti saasaba kuba musanyufu nga nneetikka omugugu, wabula okumanya nti, olugendo lwange ku nsi bwe luliggwa, ndimuwulira ng’agamba nti, “Weebale, oli muddu mulungi era mwesigwa!” Saafuna busanyufu bwa bulijjo - mu butuufu waaliwo ebintu bingi ebitaali bya ssanyu bye nnayitamu - naye ddala nnafuna essanyu n’okumatizibwa mu mugugu ogwo.

Bwe ntunuulira obuweereza bwa Yesu, kyeyoleka nti omugugu gwe gwa nkolagana - gwa bantu. Yagamba nti yafukibwako amafuta okubuulira abaavu Enjiri, okubuulira abasibe okuteebwa, okuzibula abazibe b’amaaso, okusumulula abanyigirizibwa, n’okulangirira okutabaganyizibwa oba ekisa kya Katonda eri abantu. Okuva mu nnaku ezo, kya lwatu, tukuzizza ekkanisa okutuuka mu kifo we tulina ebizimbe ebirungi eby’okulabirira ne pulogulaamu nnyingi ezitegekeddwa obulungi, ne kiba kyangu abantu okufuuka aba mugaso mutono okusinga ebintu ebyo. Eky’ennaku, obuweereza bwaffe obungi bussa nnyo essira ku mirimu, abantu ne batwalibwa emirundi mingi ng’abasobola okusuulibwa, era bangi bakyalina ebiwundu eby’amaanyi okuva mu bye baayitamu.

Kikafuuwe nze okugamba nti tosaanidde kuba na mugugu gwa kulabirira nnyumba ya Katonda nnungi, naye jjukira nti ekigendererwa kyayo bulijjo kiteekwa okuba okuleeta abasajja n’abakazi mu nkolagana ne Mukama esingako obuziba.

Luno lukalala lw’emigugu egimu, Mukama gw’ayinza okukutikka ogumu ku gyo.
