Essaawa ey'Enkya

"Ayi Mukama, buli nkya owulira eddoboozi lyange; buli nkya ndeeta gy'oli okusaba kwange, ne nnindirira onziremu." — Zabbuli 5:3.

"Mukama Ayinzabyonna ampadde olulimi oluyigirizibbwa, mmanye ebigambo ebigumya abo abakooye. Anzukusa buli nkya, buli nkya anzukusa okuwulira by'anjigiriza." — Isaaya 50:4.

Okuviira ddala mu mirembe egy'edda ennyo, abaweereza ba Katonda baalowoozanga ku makya ng'ekiseera ekigwanira okusinza Katonda. Ne kaakano Abakristaayo bonna bakitwala ng'obuvunaanyizibwa era ng'enkizo okuwaayo ekitundu ku ntandikwa y'olunaku okunoonya okussa ekimu ne Katonda. Abakristaayo bangi, naddala ekibiina Student's Christian Association, bakwata ekiseera ekiyitibwa Okukuuma okw'Enkya (The Morning Watch); ekibiina Y. P. C. E. kikiyita Essaawa ey'Emirembe (Quiet Hour); abalala bakiyita Essaawa Etewuubaala oba Ekiseera eky'Emirembe.

Bano bonna, ka babe balowooza ku ssaawa yonna, oba ekitundu ky'essaawa, oba ekitundu eky'okuna ky'essaawa, beegatta ne Muzabbuli mu ky'ayogera nti, "Ayi Mukama, buli nkya owulira eddoboozi lyange."

Ng'ayogera ku bukulu obungi obw'ekiseera kino eky'emirembe eky'okusaba n'okufumiitiriza ku Kigambo kya Katonda buli lunaku, Mukama Mott yagamba nti: "Oluvannyuma lw'okwaniriza Kristo ng'Omulokozi, n'okwesigira okubatizibwa kw'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, tetumanyi kikolwa kirala kireeta obulungi obungi gye tuli oba eri abalala okusinga okuteekawo omaliriro ogunywevu okukuuma essaawa ey'enkya, n'okumala ekitundu eky'olubereberye ky'essaawa ku ntandikwa y'olunaku wekka ne Katonda." Bw'osooka okukiwulira, ekigambo kino kirabika ng'ekigezizza ennyo. Ekikolwa eky'okwaniriza Kristo ng'Omulokozi kirina ebivaamu ebitakoma eby'emirembe n'emirembe, n'ekikolwa eky'okwesigira Omwoyo Omutukuvu kireeta enkyukakyuka enkulu mu bulamu obw'Ekikristaayo, olwo ekintu ekyangu bwe kityo ng'omaliriro ogunywevu ogw'okukuuma essaawa ey'enkya tekirabika nga kya bukulu bumala okuteekebwa okumpi nabyo.

Naye singa tulowooza ku ngeri gye kitasoboka okutuukiriza obulamu bwaffe obwa buli lunaku mu Kristo ng'Omulokozi waffe okuva mu kibi, oba okukuuma okutambula mu bulagirizi n'amaanyi ag'Omwoyo Omutukuvu, awatali kussa ekimu ne Katonda okumpi buli lunaku, tunaatera okulaba amazima g'ekigambo kino. Kubanga kitegeeza kyokka omaliriro ogunywevu nti Kristo anaabanga n'obulamu bwonna, era nti Omwoyo Omutukuvu mu buli kimu anaagonderwanga mu bujjuvu. Essaawa ey'enkya ye kisumuluzo eky'ekifo omuntu mw'ayinza okuweerayo obulamu bwe eri Kristo n'Omwoyo Omutukuvu awatali kukoowa era mu bujjuvu.

Okusobola okukitegeera, ka tusooke okulaba ekigendererwa ky'essaawa ey'enkya kye kisaanidde okuba. Essaawa ey'enkya teri kya kutwalibwa nga kigendererwa kyokka mu yo yennyini.

Tekimala nti etuwa ekiseera eky'omukisa eky'okusaba n'okusoma Baibuli, ne kiretera bwe kityo okuwummulamu n'okuyambibwa. Kigwanira okukola ng'ekkubo eritutuusa ku kigendererwa. Era ekigendererwa ekyo kwe kufuna okubeerawo kwa Kristo mu lunaku lwonna. Okwewaayo eri mukwano gwaffe oba eri ekintu kye tunoonya kitegeeza nti mukwano oyo oba ekintu ekyo binaabeeranga ne bikuumira ekifo kyabyo mu mutima, ne bwe tuba tukola ebintu ebirala ebijjula obuulamu bwaffe. Okwewaayo eri Yesu kitegeeza nti tetuganya kintu na kimu kutwawukanya naye ne kaseera kamu.

Okubeera mu ye n'okwagala kwe, okukuumibwa ye n'ekisa kye, okukola by'ayagala n'okumusanyusa — kino tekiyinza kubeera kya luusi eri oyo eyeewaddeyo ddala eri ye. "Nkwetaaga buli ssaawa," "Buli kaseera nkuumibwa mu kwagala kwe." Ennyimba zino ze bigambo eby'obulamu n'amazima. "Mu linnya lyo banaasanyukiranga olunaku lwonna," "Nze Mukama ndigikuuma; buli kaseera ndigifukirira." Bino bye bigambo eby'amaanyi aga Katonda. Omukkiriza tayinza kwesimba na kaseera kamu awatali Kristo. Okwewaayo eri ye tekukkiriza kumatira na kintu kitono okusinga okubeera bulijjo mu kwagala kwe ne mu kwagala kwe. Ekitasukka ekyo si bwe bulamu obw'Ekikristaayo obwa nnamaddala obw'omu Byawandiikibwa. Obukulu n'omukisa n'ekigendererwa ekituufu eky'essaawa ey'enkya tebiyinza kulabika okuggyako ng'ekigendererwa kyayo ekisooka.

Ekigendererwa kye tunoonya gye kyeyongera okutegeerekeka bulungi, gye tweyongera okusobola okukozesa amakubo agatuutuusa ku ky'okukituukako. Kaakano lowooza ku ssaawa ey'enkya ng'ekkubo eritutuusa ku kigendererwa kino ekikulu: Njagala okufuna ddala okubeerawo kwa Kristo mu lunaku lwonna, obutakola kintu kyonna ekiyinza okukiziyiza. Ntegeera amangu nti okusobola kwange mu lunaku kunaava ku bukalimu n'amaanyi ag'okukkiriza okunoonya, okuzuula, n'okukwata Ye mu kisenge eky'omunda. Okufumiitiriza, okusaba, n'ekigambo byonna binaakozesebwa ng'ebiyamba ku kino: akakwate ak'olunaku wakati wa Kristo nange kagwanidde okuzzibwa obuggya n'okunywezebwa mu ssaawa ey'enkya. Okusooka, kiyinza okulabika ng'okulowooza ku lunaku lwonna, awamu n'ebiraliikirivu byalwo byonna ebiyinzika, n'ebisanyusa, n'okukemebwa, biyinza okutabula okuwummula kwe nfuna mu kwewaayo kwange okw'emirembe. Kiyinza okubaawo; naye tekijja kuba kufiirwa.

Eddiini ey'amazima egendereza okubumba engeri ya Kristo mu ffe okutuusa ne mu bikolwa byaffe ebya bulijjo, endowooza ye n'engeri ye bwe binaayolesebwanga. Omwoyo n'okwagala kwa Kristo bigenderezebwa okututwala olwo mu bumu bwaffe n'abantu, mu kuwummula kwaffe, mu mirimu gyaffe, kifuuke ng'obuzaale bwaffe okukola ng'ebyo bwe biri. Bino byonna bisobola okubaawo, kubanga Kristo yennyini, ng'Omulamu, abeera mu ffe. Toteganyizibwanga singa okusooka ekigendererwa kirabika nga kya waggulu ennyo oba nga kizibu, era nga kitwala ekiseera kingi mu ssaawa ey'okusaba mu kyama. Ekiseera ky'okiwa kijja kusasulwa n'obugagga. Ojja kuddayo mu kusaba ne mu Byawandiikibwa n'ekigendererwa ekiggya n'okukkiriza okuggya.

Nga essaawa ey'enkya bw'etandika okukola ku lunaku, olunaku lujja kuddamu okukwata ku kitundu kyayo eky'olubereberye, era okussa ekimu ne Kristo kunaabanga n'amakulu amaggya n'amaanyi amaggya. Naddala kunaabanga n'obuyinza ku mwoyo gw'okuumamu essaawa ey'enkya.

Nga obukulu obw'ekigendererwa — okussa ekimu ne Katonda mu Kristo okutakutuka mu lunaku lwonna — n'obutonde obw'amazima obw'ekkubo eritukituusaako — okusisinkana Kristo mu bujjuvu era mu kutegeera n'okufuna okubeerawo kwe mu lunaku — bwe bitutwala, kirabika nti ekintu kimu ekyetaagisa kwe kuba n'ekigendererwa eky'omutima gwonna: omaliriro ogunywevu, ka gube guyinza okutwala kutegana kutya oba okwefiiriza kutya, okuwangula ekirabo. Mu kuyiga oba mu ku kibuga ky'emizannyo, buli muyizi amanyi obwetaavu obw'okwagala okw'amaanyi n'omaliriro ogunywevu bwe tuba tulina okuwangula.

Eddiini yeetaaga, era ddala esaanira, si kutono naye okusingawo okw'okwewaayo okw'omutima gwonna. Singa waliwo ekyetaaga omutima gwonna, mazima ddala kwe kwagala kwa Kristo. Guno omaliriro ogunywevu okusooka byonna okufuna okubeerawo kwa Kristo gwe gunaawangulanga buli kukemebwa okuba abatali beesigwa oba abakwata ku ngulu mu kukuuma endagaano zaffe. Guno gwe mwoyo gufuula essaawa ey'enkya yennyini ekkubo ery'amaanyi ery'ekisa mu kunyweza engeri, n'okutuwa amaanyi okugamba nti Nedda eri buli kuyita okwokwewombeeka. Guno gwe mwoyo gunaatusobozesa amangu, bwe tuyingira mu kisenge eky'omunda ne tuggalawo oluggi, okubeera eyo n'omutima gwaffe gwonna, nga tweteeseteese amangu okussa ekimu ne Kristo. Era guno gwe mwoyo, okuva mu ssaawa ey'enkya, gunaafuuka ekigambo ekikulu eky'obulamu bwaffe obwa buli lunaku.

Mu nsi, kya bulijjo okugambibwa nti: Ebintu ebikulu bisoboka eri omuntu yenna amanyi ky'ayagala, era n'akyagala n'omutima gwe gwonna.

Omuyizi eyafuula okwewaayo eri Kristo ekigambo kye ekikulu, ajja kuzuula essaawa ey'enkya ng'ekifo obulabufu bwe mu kuyitibwa kwe okutukuvu mwe buzzibwa obuggya buli lunaku; omulundi ye gw'anyweza okutambula nga bwe kigwanira; n'okukkiriza kwe okuweebwa empeera olw'okubeerawo kwa Kristo alindirira okumusisinkana, n'okumulabirira mu lunaku. Tuli bawanguzi n'okusukka mu oyo eyatwagala. Kristo omulamu alindirira okutusisinkana.
