Okumera mu Mutima

Katonda awa omukisa ekiseera eky'okumera eky'emmeeme, ng'ateekateeka emitima okukula. Nga bw'afukirira ensi, bw'atyo Omwoyo we akuza okukkiriza okuggya, okwegomba okuwewuufu, okusaba, n'essuubi, ng'assaawo omusingi gw'amakungula ag'omwoyo agabala era agawangaala.

"Okyalira ensi n'ogifukirira; ogigaggawaza nnyo; omugga gwa Katonda gujjudde amazzi; obawa emmere yaabwe ey'empeke, kubanga bw'otyo bw'oteekateeka ensi." Zabbuli 65:9-10. Newaakubadde ng'ebiseera ebirala biyinza okusinga mu bujjuvu, ekiseera eky'okumera kirabika obulungi olw'obuggya n'obulungi bwakyo. Twebaza Katonda ng'ekiseera eky'amakungula kituuse ne wabaawo eŋŋaano eya zaabu eyeetegese; naye era tusaanidde okumwebaza olw'ekiseera eky'okumera, ekiteekateeka amakungula. Enkuba eya April ereeta ebimuli bya May, era obunnyogovu n'obutobevu bw' enkuba ereeta obulungi bw'ekyeeya. Katonda awa omukisa ekiseera eky'okumera, nga bw'ateekerateekera ekyeeya; kyeva kitusaanira okumutendereza omwaka gwonna.

Ekiseera eky'okumera eky'omwoyo kiseera kya mukisa mu Kkanisa. Okukkiriza okuto kukula, era tuwulira n'essanyu nti, “Tulabye Mukama.” Abaana baffe bameruka ng'omuddo n'emiti egy'oku mabbali g'amazzi. Tuwuniikirira ne twebuuza nti, “Abo be baani abajja ng'ebire, era ng'amayiba nga gadda mu bituli byago?” Mu kiseera eky'okuzuukusibwa, Katonda bw'aleeta abangi gy'ali, Kkanisa esanyuka era eyinza okugamba nti, “Owa omukisa okumera kwayo” (Zabbuli 65:9-10).

Nnaassa essira ku mbeera z'abantu ssekinnoomu. Waliwo ekiseera ekisa lwe kitandika okumera, nga bw'akatuuti bwe kayasa ettaka eddaawo era eryomu. Njagala okwogera ku mukisa oguweebwa akalagala akato aka kw'okutya Katonda okumera, eri abo abatandika okusuubira mu Mukama.

1. Emirimu Emisooka Okumera. Ekyawandiikibwa kiraga nti Katonda yekka y'ateekwa okukola emirimu egimu ng'okumera tekunnaba kujja, era akolera ne mu ffe. Waliwo omulimu gwe tulina. Obulamu obuggya nga tebunnaba kulabika mu mmeeme, wateekwa okubaawo okulima, okwabya, n'okusiga. Ettaka lyeteekwa okuteekebwateekebwa, naye tetusuubira kukungula mangu ago.

Katonda yeebazibwe, oluusi omukunguzi asinga omulimi, naye si bulijjo. Mu mitima egimu, Katonda akankamya ekiseera ekiwanvu era eky'amaanyi; amateeka gasima nnyo okutuusa buli kitundu ky'emmeeme lwe kirimibwa. Okukankamibwa kutuuka ku ntobo y'omwoyo, ne kugufumita. Katonda bw'akola, ettaka ly'omutima limenyebwa olw'okubaawo kwe.

Oluvannyuma lujja okusiga. Okumera kubeeyo, waliwo ekiteekwa okusigibwa. Omubuulizi bw'amala okukozesa enkumbi y'amateeka, akozesa ensigo ey'enjiri. Ebisuubizo eby'enjiri, enjigiriza, n'okuyigiriza okw'olwatu ku kisa ekya bwereere n'okutangirira, birekebwa ng'ensigo bwe misuula. Egimu gigwa ku kkubo ne gibula, naye egirala gigwa ku ttaka eryateekebwateekebwa ne gisigalamu.

Ekiddako kwe kwabya. Tetuyinza kuleka nsigo nga tumaze okugisiga; eteekwa okusabirwa. Okusaba okw'omubuulizi n'okwa Kkanisa kubikka ku nsigo, ne kugikweka mu mutima gw'omuwuliriza.

Nkirundulula kino okuzzaamu amaanyi abo abatalabye bibala mangu—baleme okuggwaamu essuubi—naye era ng'okulabula eri abo abasuubira amakungula nga tewasoose kuteekateeka. Okuzuukusibwa okw'amangwago awatali kufuba kwa kusaba tekutera kuwangaala. Okuzuukusibwa okuwangaala kuva mu kufuba kungi, okwegomba, okwegayirira, n'okukuuma. Omuweereza wa Katonda abuulira ka abantu babeere beeteeseteese oba nedda, naye okulaba omukisa omunene, emitima giteekwa okuteekebwateekebwa.

2. Emirimu Egisukka Amaanyi Gaffe. Oluvannyuma lw'okulima, okusiga, n'okwabya, wateekwa okujja enkuba okuva mu ggulu. “Okyalira ensi n'ogifukirira” (Zabbuli 65:9). Okufuba kwaffe kwa bwereere awatali mukisa gwa Katonda nga guyita mu Mwoyo. Ai Mwoyo Omutukuvu, ggwe wekka gw'okola eby'ekitalo mu mutima gw'omuntu, ng'ova eri Kitaffe n'Omwana okutuukiriza ebigendererwa bya Katonda.

Waliwo ebikolwa bisatu ebyogerwako: Okufukirira obusenyi: Nga enkuba bw'ejjuza obusenyi, bw'atyo Omwoyo asensera era n'akwata buli kitundu ky'omutima. Okutegeera kwakenkanyizibwa, omuntu ow'omunda azuukusibwa, okwagala kufugibwa, n'okwegomba kukoledwa omuliro. Twanjula amazima g'enjiri, naye Omwoyo wa Katonda yekka y'ayinza okukwata omutima ddala.

Okuteeka obulungi ensalosalo: Enkuba enkalubo ekunya ettaka. Mu ngeri y'emu, Omwoyo atoowaza era n'anywevu emmeeme. Omutima ogw'amalala era ogutali munywevu gufuuka omunywevu era omuzitowavu. Ebirowoozo eby'ekitiibwa n'amalala ag'omubiri gassibwa wansi. Obwetoowaze obwa nnamaddala kye kibala eky'ekisa eky'Omwoyo. “Omutima ogumenyese era ogumenyefu, Ai Katonda, toligunyooma” (Zabbuli 51:17).

Okugonza n'enkuba: Omutima gw'omuntu mu buzaaliranwa mukalubo, ng'ettaka eryomu. Omwoyo agugonza kyenkanyi. Omutima oguweera okwo gubaamu okuwulira ne guddamu; amaziga gakulukuta, obuwewuufu bukula.

Bino byonna mulimu gwa Katonda. Katonda akolera mu ffe, naye ye yekka aweereza enkuba ey'ekisa. Mpozzi akola mu bamu ku mmwe kaakano, newaakubadde ng'obulamu obw'omwoyo tebunnalabika. Embeera yammwe eyinza okulabika ng'ennaku, naye tusuubira nti mu bwangu ensigo ey'ekisa erimera, era Mukama awe omukisa okumera kwayo.

II. Ekyokubiri, katutegeeze mu bufunze okumera kwayo. Oluvannyuma lw'omulimu gw'Omwoyo Omutukuvu okubaawo mu kasirise okumala ekiseera, nga bwe kisanyusa Omukama era Omulimi omukulu, wandiitandika okulabika obubonero obw'ekisa. Mujjukire ebigambo by'omutume nti: “Okusooka akalagala, oluvannyuma amatabi, oluvannyuma eŋŋaano ejjuvu mu matabi” (Makko 4:28). Abamu banyolwa nnyo kubanga tebalaba ŋŋaano njjuvu mu matabi mu bo bennyini. Balowooza nti singa baabadde ba mulimu gwa Katonda, bandibadde nga Bakristaayo abamu abakuze be bakwatagana nabo, oba be bayinza okusoma ku byafaayo byabwe. Abaagalwa, guno gwe kusobya okunene. Ekisa bwe kisooka okuyingira mu mutima, tekiba ng'omuti omunene ogubikka ekitundu ekinene n'ekisiikirize kyagwo, wabula kiba ng'ensigo esinga obutono, ng'akaweke ke kaladaali. Bwe kasooka okumera mu mmeeme, tekiba ng'enjuba eyaka ku ttuntu, wabula kiba ng'omuzira omusooka ogw'obudde nga bukya. Mulina obusirusiru okusuubira amakungula nga temunnayita mu kiseera eky'okumera? Nsuubira nti nga nnyinnyonnyola omutendera ogusooka ogw'obulamu obwa Kristaayo, muyinza okugamba nti, “Ntuuse okutuuka wano,” ne mwesanyusa mu kigambo nti: “Owa omukisa okumera kwayo” (Zabbuli 65:9-10).

Kale, kwe kutya okumera kw'okutya Katonda mu mutima? Tulowooza nti kusooka kulabika mu kwegomba okw'amazima era okw'amaanyi okulokolebwa. Omuntu tannalokolebwa mu ndaba ye ye, naye ayaayaanira okulokolebwa. Ekyo ekyali tekimufaako kaakano kimweraliikiriza nnyo. Edda yanyooma Abakristaayo n'alowooza nti banyiikira awatali nsonga, n'alowooza nti eddiini kya bwereere, era n'atwala eby'ensi nga bye bintu ebyokka eby'omugaso; naye kaakano akyusiddwa. Akwatirwa obuggya Omukristaayo asinga obwetoowaze, era yandiwanyisizza n'omukkiriza asinga obwavu singa yakakasibwa amaka mu ggulu.

Eby'ensi bifiiriddwa obuyinza bwabyo, era eby'omwoyo bye bisinze. Edda, ng'abangi, yakaaba nti, “Ani anaatulaga ekirungi?” naye kaakano akaaba nti, “Nnyweza omusana gw'amaaso go ku nze, Ai Mukama” (Zabbuli 4:6). Edda yali mmere ya mpeke na wayini ebyaleeta essanyu, naye kaakano ye Katonda yekka. Olwazi lwe olw'obubudamo luteekwa okuba Katonda, kubanga tewali ssanyu alifuna awalala. Okwegomba kwe okutukuvu, edda okwali kuggwaawo ng'omukka ogw'oku kikoomi, kaakano kuwangaala, newaakubadde nga tekuli kwenkanankana buli kiseera.

Oluusi, okwegomba kuno kufuuka enjala n'ennyonta ey'obutuukirivu, naye tebakkuta era beegomba okwegomba okusinga obuwanvu eri eby'omu ggulu. Okwegomba kuno kwe kumu ku kumera okusooka okw'obulamu obwa Katonda mu mmeeme.

“Okumera kwayo” kuddako okweraga mu kusaba. Kaakano kusaba kwa mazima. Edda, ebigambo byali kunyooma Katonda, amaloboozi awatali mutima; naye kaakano, newaakubadde ng'okusaba tekuli ngeri okutu kw'omuntu lwe kuyinza okuwulira, Katonda akukkiriza, kubanga kwe kwogera kw'omwoyo eri Katonda, si kutemya kw'emimwa eri Katonda atamanyiddwa. Okusaba kuyinza okuba okumpi: “Oh!” “Ah!” “Singa Katonda!” “Mukama, onsaasire nze omwonoonyi!” n'okukaaba okumpi okufaanana; naye kwe kusaba. “Laba, asaba” tekitegeeza buwanvu, wabula n'okussa ekikkowe oba erizziga kikakasa obulamu obw'omwoyo. “Okusinda kuno okutayogerekeka” kwe kumu ku “kumera kwayo” (Abaruumi 8:26).

Wagenda okulabikawo n'okwagala eby'ekisa n'ennyumba ya Katonda. Baibuli, eyamala ebbanga nga tesomebwa era ng'etwalibwa ng'etasinga kalenda ka kadda mugaso, kaakano etwalibwa n'ekitiibwa. Ne bw'ereeta essanyu ttono era n'entiisa nnyingi mu kiseera, ekyo ekitabo ky'emmeeme, era omusomi akyuka eri empapula zaakyo n'essuubi. Mu kugenda mu nnyumba ya Katonda, omukkiriza awuliriza n'obunyiikivu, ng'asuubira obubaka obuva eri Mukama. Edda, okusinza kwabeerangako ng'omulimu gwa mpisa; kaakano kuba lwa kunoonya Omulokozi. Edda tewali ddiini mu mmeeme okusinga mu luggi olukyukira ku njoola zaalwo; kaakano omutima guyingira mu nnyumba nga gusaba nti, “Mukama, sisinkane n'emmeeme yange,” era omukisa bwe gutajja, guvaayo nga gusinda nti, “Singa mmanyi we nnaamusanga, ndyoke ntuuke ne ku ntebe ye.” Kano ke kamu ku bubonero obw'omukisa obwa “kumera kwayo.”

Akabonero akalala kwe kuba nti emmeeme etandika okukkiriza mu Yesu Kristo, wadde katono. Kiyinza obutaleeta ssanyu lingi oba mirembe, naye kikuuma omutima okulema okuggwaamu essuubi era ne kikugaana okusaanawo wansi w'omugugu gw'ekibi. Nnamanya ebiseera nga tewali eyayinza kulaba kukkiriza mu nze, era nange nnali sisobola kukulaba mu nze, naye nnali muvumu okugamba ne Peetero nti, “Mukama, omanyi byonna; omanyi nti nkwagala” (Yokaana 21:17). Omuntu ky'atasobola kulaba, Kristo akiraba. Bangi beeyongera nnyo okulowooza ku kukkiriza kwabwe okutono nga tebakitegeera; naye bwe balaba eri Kristo so si eri okukkiriza kwabwe, banaalaba Kristo n'okukkiriza kwabwe. Bayinza okwegeraageranya n'abakkiriza abakuze ne bawulira ng'okukkiriza kwabwe kutono nnyo, naye n'okukkiriza okusinga obutono okufuna Kristo kumala. Mujjukire nti: “Bonna abaamusembeza, yabawa obuyinza okufuuka abaana ba Katonda” (Yokaana 1:12). Okukkiriza okunafu kukyali kukkiriza, era Katonda awa omukisa “okumera kwayo.”

Ekizibu emirundi mingi kiva mu kutategeera oba obutaba na bwesige mu Katonda. Okutategeera kuli ng'okulaba eŋŋaano embisi omulundi ogusooka n'olowooza nti muddo bufu. Naye omuntu bw'agimanya, tekiba kya kitalo okulaba eŋŋaano ng'eyita mu mitendera: okusooka akalagala, oluvannyuma amatabi, era ekisembayo eŋŋaano ejjuvu mu matabi. Bangi ku bakkiriza abaakakyusibwa bawulira nti tebafaanana ndala na Bakristaayo abakuze, naye babeera busirawo mu mutendera ogukyasooka. Omuntu ateekwa okuyita mu mutendera gw'akalagala nga tannatuuka ku mutendera gw'amatabi, era mu mutendera gw'amatabi, wayinza okubaawo okubuusabuusa ku kutuuka ku ŋŋaano ejjuvu; naye mu kiseera kyakyo, obukulu bulijja. Mwebaze Katonda nti muli mu Kristo ddala. Ka okukkiriza kube kunene oba kutono, ka musobole okukolera Kristo ebingi oba ebitono, okulokolebwa tekusinziira ku kye muli wabula ku ky'ali Yesu Kristo. Okumwesiga, ka okukkiriza kwammwe kube kutono kutya, kubakuuma nga muli bulungi ng'abatukuvu abasinga amaanyi.

Naye awamu n'okutategeera, emirundi mingi wabaawo obutakkiriza. Si byonna bya butamanya bwa kusonyiyibwa; waliwo n'obutakkiriza obw'ekibi. Ai omwonoonyi, lwaki teweesiga Kristo? Katonda akuwa ekigambo kye nti abo abamwesiga tebasalirwa musango, naye ggwe oyinza okutya nti osaliddwa. Kino kubuusabuusa amazima ga Katonda. Kwatibwe ensonyi olw'okubuusabuusa ekisuubizo kye. Ebibi ebirala byonna binakuwaza Kristo okusinga ekibi eky'okumubuusabuusa nti tajja kusonyiwa, oba nti alisuula oyo amwesiga. Tovvoola mpisa ye ey'ekisa. “Oyo ajja gye ndi sirimugoba n'akatono” (Yokaana 6:37). Jja n'okukkiriza, era anaakusembeza mangwago.

Bwe ntyo nnyinnyonnyodde “okumera kwayo.” III. Ekyokusatu, ng'ekyawandiikibwa bwe kigamba, waliwo omu alaba okumera kuno: Ggwe, Mukama—“Owa omukisa okumera kwayo” (Zabbuli 65:9).

Nnandyagadde tubeere n'amaaso amawambufu okulaba entandikwa y'ekisa mu balala; olw'obutassaayo mwoyo, tuleka emikisa mingi egy'okuyamba abanafu. Maama bw'alabirira abaana be, alaba obubonero obusooka obw'obulwadde amangwago; kale tusaanidde nnyo okulabirira n'obwegendereza emmeeme ez'omuwendo. Abakkiriza abato bangi bayinza okugumira wiiki oba emyezi egy'ennaku etaliiko nsonga singa ffe abamanyi Mukama tetussaayo mwoyo. Abasumba babeera awo ekiro kyonna mu kiseera eky'okuzaala kw'endiga, okuwamba n'okulabirira abaana b'endiga abaakazaalibwa; naffe, ng'abasumba ba Katonda, tusaanidde okulabirira abaana bonna abaakazaalibwa mu kisibo kye, naddala ng'abangi bajja gy'ali, kubanga okulabirira okw'obwegendereza kwetaagibwa mu mitendera egisooka egy'obulamu obuggya.

Ne bwe tukusubwa, Katonda alaba “okumera kwayo.”

Mmwe emmeeme ensirise, ez'ekyama, ezitaagala kwogera na muntu, mugume omwoyo: Katonda alaba obulamu bwammwe obuggya. Ne bwe mulowooza bwokka nti, “Nnaagolokoka ne ŋŋenda eri Kitange,” awulira. Ne bwe kuba kwegomba kwokka, akiwandiika. “Okuŋŋaanyizza amaziga gange mu ccupa yo; tegaali mu kitabo kyo?” (Zabbuli 56:8).

Alabirira okudda kwo, akugwa mu kifuba, era akwaniriza n'okwagala okuwewuufu. Gumibwe omwoyo nti wonna w'oli—mu kisenge kyo oba mu kyama—Katonda aliwo. “Ggwe Katonda ondaba” (Olubereberye 16:13).

“Mukama asanyukira abo abamutya, abo abasuubira mu kisa kye eky'obwesigwa” (Zabbuli 147:11).

Ne kutya oba essuubi eritono kumusanyusa. “Olituukiriza ekigambo ekinkwatako” (Zabbuli 138:8). Emmeeme yo bw'eba n'akeraliikiriza olw'okutabaganyizibwa ne Katonda n'okuba n'omugabo mu musaayi gwa Kristo, kuba “kumera kwayo” kwokka, naye akuwa omukisa. “Olumuli olubetenteddwa talulimenya, era omuliro ogunyookera talugunziya, okutuusa lw'alireeta obwenkanya mu buwanguzi” (Matayo 12:20). Obuwanguzi bujja ne nga emmeeme tennatuuka ku bukulu; n'entandikwa ennafu ennyo ziri wansi w'okulabirira kwa Katonda, era alaba okumera okusooka okw'ekisa.

IV. Ebigambo bitono ku nsonga ey'okuna: nga kyandibadde kya nnaku kitya, singa kyandisoboka, okuba n'okumera kuno awatali mukisa gwa Katonda! Ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti, “Owa omukisa okumera kwayo” (Zabbuli 65:9-10). Katulowooze akaseera okumera bwe kwandibadde awatali mukisa ogwo.

Ka tugambe nti wabaddewo okuzuukusibwa mu ffe awatali mukisa gwa Katonda. Nkakasa nti okuzuukusibwa okumu tekuva eri Katonda n'akatono, wabula kuvaako mu kusagaasagana kwokka. Bwe wataba mukisa okuva eri Mukama, kunaaba kulimba kwokka, ejjaaya eryafuuyibwa mu bbanga okumala akaseera ne liggwaawo. Abantu bayinza okusagaasaganyizibwa, oluvannyuma ne bafuuka abateefaayo era abafiiridde okusinga edda, era kino kabi kanene eri Kkanisa.

Mu mutima gw'omuntu ssekinnoomu, singa wabaddewo okumera awatali mukisa gwa Katonda, tekwandireese birungi bya nnamaddala. Ka tugambe nti oli n'okwegomba okulungi, naye awatali mukisa ku kwo—kwandikutawaanyizza ne kukubonyaabonya kwokka. Oluvannyuma lw'ekiseera, kwandibudde, era oyinza okufuuka omukakanyavu okusinga edda eri okukwatibwa okw'eddiini. Okwegomba okw'eddiini bwe kutava eri Katonda wabula ne kuva mu kusagaasagana, kuyinza okukugaana okutwala Ekigambo kya Katonda n'obuzito mu biseera eby'omu maaso. Okukwatibwa okutagonza mutima kugukakanyaza. Lowooza ku abo abaawulira engeri ey'okumera nga tebatwaliddwa eri Kristo—abamu babetenteddwa okugwa mu bujoozi.

Abantu oluusi bagamba nti eddiini eyusa abantu—si mazima mu bungi bwabwe, naye tewali kubuusabuusa nti ekika ekimu eky'obunyiikivu obw'eddiini kireese bangi mu ddalu.

Emmeeme zino ez'ennaku zaawulira ebiwundu byazo naye tezaalaba ddagala. Tezaamanya Yesu.

Zaawulira ekibi kyazo naye tezaddukira mu bubudamo Katonda bw'awa. Teweewuunya singa abantu bagenda mu ddalu bwe bagaana Omulokozi. Kiyinza okuba omusango Katonda gw'asalira abo, ne mu bunaku obungi, abagaana okudduka eri Kristo. Eri abamu, bwe kiba—muteekwa okudduka eri Yesu, oba omugugu gwammwe guneeyongera okuzitowa okutuusa omwoyo gwammwe lwe gunaamenyeka. Kino si nsobi ya ddiini, wabula ya abo abagaana eddagala ly'ewa. Okumera kw'okwegomba awatali mukisa gwa Katonda kwandibadde kya ntiisa, naye tumwebaza nti tetulekeddwa mu mbeera ng'eyo.

V. Ne kaakano nnyongera ku kirowoozo ekizzaamu amaanyi nti Katonda awa omukisa “okumera kwayo.” Njagala okwogera eri abo abawewuufu era abateganyiziddwa, okulaga nti Katonda awa omukisa okumera kwammwe, emirundi mingi mu ngeri nnyingi. Emirundi mingi akikola ng'ayita mu ssanyu ettono. Olina obudde obumu obuwoomerera nnyo: toyinza kugamba nti oli wa Kristo, naye oluusi endege z'omutima gwo zivuga ku linnya lye. Eby'ekisa bikuwoomera. Bw'ogenda okusinza, owulira emirembe emitukuvu, era ovaayo ng'oyagala waaliwo ssabbiiti musanvu mu wiiki mu kifo ky'emu. Olw'omukisa gwa Katonda, Ekigambo kiyinza okulabika ng'ekyogeddwa ku mbeera yo yokka: oteeka wamu emmuli zo okumala akaseera n'otandika okudduka. Newaakubadde ng'essanyu lino liyinza okuba eddibi, biba bubonero bwa birungi.

Ku luuyi olulala, bw'oba ofunye essanyu ttono oba nga tolina n'akatono, era ng'eby'ekisa bikuleetedde okubudaabudibwa okutono, kirowoozeeko ng'omukisa. Oluusi omukisa omunene kwe kuba nti Katonda aggyawo essanyu okusobola okwanguya okudduka kwo eri enkomerero. Omuntu bw'adduka eri Ekibuga eky'Obubudamo ng'awonawo omuyizzi, kiyinza okuba eky'amagezi okumuleka awummuleko okuddamu amaanyi, naye obulabe nga bulaali, ekikolwa eky'ekisa okusinga kiyinza okuba okumuwa ekitali kyonna, alyoke adduke n'embiro ezitakendeeza. Mukama ayinza okuba ng'akuwa omukisa ng'ayita mu butabeera bwo bulungi. Bw'oba tosobola kugamba nti oli mu Kristo, kiyinza okuba omukisa omunene okuggyawo essanyu eddala olyoke owalirizibwe okudduka gy'ali. Mpozzi obutuukirivu bwo bwennyini obumu bukyaliwo mu ggwe, era okutuusa lwe bunaggwaawo, toyinza kufuna ssanyu na mirembe egya mazima mu Kristo.

Ekyambalo eky'obwakabaka ky'akuwa tekirimasamasa okutuusa buli kiwero eky'obulungi bwaffe ffennyini lwe kiggyibwawo. Okutya emirundi mingi kutwala abantu eri okukkiriza. Tolabanga kanyonyi akatiitiizi nga kabuuka mu kifuba ky'omuntu kubanga kampago kakagoba? Tekandibuuse awatali kutya kukawaliriza. Bwe kityo bwe kiyinza okuba gy'oli; okutya kwo kuyinza okukwanguyiza okudduka eri Omulokozi, era bwe kiba bwe kityo, n'ennaku zino kaakano bubonero nti Katonda awa omukisa “okumera kwayo.”

Bwe ntunula emabega ku kumera kwange, oluusi ndowooza nti Katonda yampa omukisa mu kiseera ekyo mu ngeri esinga okulungi n'okusinga kaakano. Newaakubadde nga sandyagadde kudda mu mutendera ogwo ogusooka, gwalimu essanyu lingi.

Omuti gw'emiyembe ogujjudde ebibala mulungi, naye omuti gw'emiyembe ogumulisizza gusinga okuba omulungi. Omukristaayo omukulu ajjudde ebibala kya kulabika kirungi, naye omukkiriza omuto alina obulungi obw'enjawulo. Oyinza kaakano okuwulira okukyawa ekibi okusinga abakkiriza abakuze bangi, era obuwewuufu bw'omuntu wo ow'omunda buyinza okusinga obwabwe. Olina okutegeera okw'obuvunaanyizibwa okusinga obuwanvu, okutya okw'ekitiibwa okulema okulagajjalira, n'obunyiikivu obungi.

Okola emirimu gyo egisooka eri Katonda, ng'oyaka olw'okwagala okusooka; tewali kirabika kizibu oba kizito nnyo. Nsaba nti toweddemu maanyi n'akatono, wabula okulaganga mu maaso bulijjo.

Ne kaakano, nga ndaga ku nkomerero. Ndaba amasomo asatu ku ffe. Ekisooka, abatukuvu abakadde basaanidde okuba abakkakkamu era ab'ekisa eri abakkiriza abato. Katonda awa omukisa okumera kwayo—ka naffe tukole bwe tutyo. Temuzikiza kwegomba kw'abato oba okuzikiriza abakkiriza abaggya n'ebibuuzo ebizibu. Nga bakyali baana abeetaaga amata g'Ekigambo, temubazitoowereza n'emmere enkalubo; banaakulira mu yo. Mujjukire nti Yakobo teyawaliriza ndiga—mubeere ba kwegendereza mu ngeri y'emu. Muyigirize era muluŋŋamye n'obukkakkamu n'obuwewuufu, si nga abakulembeze, wabula ng'abazadde abalabirira olwa Kristo. Katonda awa omukisa okumera kwayo—akuwe omukisa ng'ayita mu mmwe!

Essomo ery'okubiri kwe kutuukiriza obuvunaanyizibwa obw'okwebaza. Katonda bw'awa omukisa okumera kwayo, tusaanidde okwebaza ne ku kisa ekitono. Bw'oba olabye akatuuti akasooka kokka nga kayasa ettaka, weebaze, era olilaba akalagala akato akawuuba mu mpewo; weebaze olw'omuddo ogutuuka ku bikere, era olilaba amatabi nga gatandika okukwata; weebaze olw'amatabi amabisi agasooka, era olilaba eŋŋaano ng'emulisa era ng'eyengera eri amakungula.

Essomo ery'okusatu kwe kuzzaamu amaanyi. Katonda bw'awa omukisa “okumera kwayo,” kiki ky'atalikola mu nnaku ez'omu maaso? Bw'akuwa emmere efaanana bw'etyo bw'osooka okumenya okusiiba kwo, mbaga ki gy'alikutegekera bw'aligamba nti, “Jjangu, olye”? Mbaga ki eyeetegese ku kijjulo ky'Omwana gw'Endiga! Ai emmeeme eteganyiziddwa, leka amayengo, omuzira, n'embuyaga ez'obutiti eziruma okumera kwo, byerabirwe mu kirowoozo kino ekizzaamu amaanyi: Katonda awa omukisa okumera kwo, era Katonda gw'awa omukisa tewali ayinza kumukolimira. Waggulu w'omutwe gwo, ggwe emmeeme eyeegomba era esaba, Mukama w'eggulu n'ensi akulangirira omukisa ogwa Kitaffe, n'Omwana, n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu. Twala omukisa ogwo era ogusanyukire emirembe gyonna. Amiina.
