‘Ndikola’ Munaana eza Kristo

Soma Matayo 11:28, 29

Njagala okusikako obwongo bwammwe ku ‘Ndikola’ munaana eza Kristo.

1. Eky’olubereberye mukirisanga mu Matayo 11:28: “Mujje gye ndi, mmwe mwenna abakooye era abazitoowereddwa, nange

NDIBAWUMMUZA.

Mwetikke ekikoligo kyange, muyige okuva gye ndi; kubanga ndi muwombeefu era omwetoowaze mu mutima: era muliraba okuwummula kw’emyoyo gyammwe. Kubanga ekikoligo kyange kyangu, n’omugugu gwange mwangu.”

Kaakano sirabangako muntu yenna atayagala kuwummula. Tewali musajja oba mukazi abeera ku nsi atayagala kuwummula. Tusoma ku musajja omugagga eyali agenda okumenya amawanika ge n’azimba amanene, ng’agamba emmeeme ye nti, “Wummula, olina ebingi ebiterekeddwa, kale kaakano wummula.” Abasuubuzi bakola emisana n’ekiro okukuŋŋaanya ssente, balyoke bafune okuwummula. Abasajja baleka ab’eŋŋanda zaabwe ne mikwano gyabwe ne bagenda okwetooloola ensi okufuna ssente, nga basuubira nti ziribaleetera okuwummula. Abavubi balima ennyanja, ne babeera ewala okumala emyezi mingi okufuna ssente, ziryoke zibaleetere okuwummula. Mu butuufu, singa okuwummula kwali kuyinza okugulwa mu katale, waliwo abantu bibumbe mu London abandibadde basasula omuwendo omunene ennyo okukufuna; naye newankubadde ssente teziyinza kukugula, wabula olw’okukkiriza ekigambo kya Katonda oyinza okukufuna awatali ssente era awatali muwendo. “Mujje gye ndi, mmwe mwenna abakooye era abazitoowereddwa, nange ndibawummuza.” Kaakano ffe bwe twogera nti “tujja,” emirundi mingi tekitegeeza kintu kinene. Oboolyawo tetuba tugenderedde kutuukiriza kigambo kyaffe bwe twogera nti tujja kukola ekintu; oba ne bwe tuba tugenderera okukituukiriza, emirundi mingi tulemererwa olw’obutaba na buyinza okutuukiriza ekyo kye twasuubiza. Naye mukijjukire, Katonda talemererwa kutuukiriza kisuubizo kye; tasobya; talemererwa kutuukiriza kigambo kye. N’ebigambo bye nsomye biyinza okwesigibwa; kubanga si bigambo bya muntu, wabula bya Mwana wa Katonda—“Mujje gye ndi, mmwe mwenna abakooye era abazitoowereddwa, nange ndibawummuza.”

Kino kitutegeeza ekifo ekyokka gye tuyinza okufuna okuwummula. Tewali kifo kirala muntu gy’ayinza mu ngeri yonna okufuna okuwummula kw’emmeeme ye. Mukijjukire kino: si kwe kujja eri enzikiriza eya ku mpapula, si kwe kujja eri ekkanisa emu ey’enjawulo, oba eri enjigiriza emu ey’enjawulo, wabula eri Kristo. “Mujje gye Nze.” Kwe kujja eri Kristo omuntu ku bwe kyokka okuwa emmeeme emirembe n’okuwummula.

EMIREMBE.

Kaakano, mu Yokaana 14:27, waliwo ekisuubizo eky’omuwendo ennyo gye ndi. Kristo agamba nti, “Emirembe mbalekera”; ŋŋenda, naye sijja kubaggyako mirembe gyange; egyo ngireka. “Emirembe gyange mbawa.” Mwetegereze akigambo katono “emirembe gyange”—“Emirembe gyange mbawa.” Abantu bangi banoonya emirembe gyabwe okuva mu nsibuko ez’ensi, naye bwe bagifuna tebafunamu bingi, kubanga Setaani ayinza okuzannya ku nneewulira z’abantu ng’abantu bwe bakuba ennanga, n’abalimba okubatuusa ku buli kimu. Naye bwe tugenda eri Kristo, tufuna kye twetaaga, tufuna okuwummula kw’emmeeme, era okutuusa lwe tunaagenda gy’ali tetuligifuna.

Waliwo ebintu bingi ebijjumbula emirembe gyaffe; naye tewali kiyinza kujjumbula mirembe gya Katonda. Oyinza okuddira akazinga kano, n’okasuula wakati mu nnyanja Atulantiki, ne kaleeta akeegugungo n’oluyoogaano lunene mu nsi eno, naye sirowooza nti Katonda yandinyeenyeddwa ku ntebe ye ey’olubeerera; tekyandimujjumbudde mu ggulu, waggulu ennyo okusinga ensi yonna. Ka tube n’emirembe gya Katonda, awo ne tulyoka tuwummula.

Era agamba nti, “Ebintu bino mbibagambye, essanyu lyange liryoke libeere mu mmwe.” Essanyu lya Kristo, si lyaffe ffe. Bwe tujja eri Kristo omuntu ku bwe, n’emmeeme zaffe ne zisiga ku ye, awo ne tufuna okuwummula, n’emirembe, n’essanyu. Ako kwe kuwummula okutaliiko kiyinza kujjumbula; ago ge mirembe egikulukuta ng’omugga; ery’essanyu ery’emirembe n’emirembe.

2. Kaakano, ‘Ndikola’ eddako eri mu Yokaana 6:37. Nsobola okulowooza abamu ku mmwe nga mugamba nti, “Ah, singa mbadde mulungi mwakumala okujja, nandijje, ne nfuna okuwummula, n’emirembe, n’essanyu kuno.” Naye bwe muba musoma olunyiriri lwe njogerako, mujja kusanga nga lugamba nti, “Oyo ajja gye ndi

SIRIMUGOBA N’EDDOBOOZI LYONNA.”

Mazima ekyo kigazi kimala—si bwe kiri? Sifaayo ku muntu gw’ali; sifaayo ku kugezesebwa kwo, ku buzibu bwo, ku nnaku zo, oba ku bibi byo, bw’onoojja butereevu eri Mukama, tajja kukugoba. Kale jjangu, omwonoonyi omwavu; jjangu nga bw’oli, omukwate ku kigambo kye.

Waaliwo omuvubuka omukambwe era omusaasaanya eyayingira mu limu ku nkuŋŋaana zaffe. Yali adduka embiro okwolekera okuzikirira, naye Omwoyo wa Katonda ne gumukwata. Bwe nnali nga nnyogera naye, era nga ngezaako okumuleeta eri Kristo, namusomera olunyiriri luno. Nalumuwanika mu maaso ge, ne nkulembera ebirowoozo bye butereevu okulutuukako, okumala akaseera, era ekitangaala eky’enkomerero ne kirabika nga kimutuukako, era ne kirabika ng’afuna essanyu okuva mu lwo, kale ne mmugamba akwate ku lunyiriri olwo. Kale, bwe yamala okugenda, mu kkubo ng’adda eka, Setaani n’amusisinkana. Sikkiriza nti waliwo omuntu yenna atandika okugenda eri Kristo naye Setaani n’atagezaako mu ngeri emu oba endala okumusisinkana n’okumwesittaza. Era ne bw’aba amaze okujja eri Kristo Setaani ajja, n’agezaako okumulumba n’okubuusabuusa, n’amuleetera okukkiriza nti waliwo ekitali kituufu mu kyo. Kale omuvubuka ono Setaani n’amusisinkana, n’amwogerera mu kaama nti, “Omanyi otya nti eyo nvvuunula ntuufu?” Ekyo ne kimuyimiriza akaseera, ne kimusuula mu kizikiza nate. Naye n’ajjukira nga bwe namugamba akwate ku kyawandiikibwa ekyo, era nga bw’ali awo, oluvannyuma Setaani lwe yamala okuteeka ekyo mu birowoozo bye, ng’akwata ku kyo, naye n’atafuna mirembe okutuusa essaawa bbiri ez’ekiro. Awo n’alyoka yeegamba nti, “Nnaakwata ku kyo wadde kiri kitya, era bwe kiba nga si nvvuunula ntuufu, bwe ndituuka ku mbuga ya Katonda, ndimugamba nti saamanyi nga kikyamu, kubanga saategeera kigambo kyonna ku Luyonaani oba Olulattini.” “Oyo ajja gye ndi sirimugoba n’eddoboozi lyonna.” Bw’onoojja butereevu gy’ali, nnina obuyinza obulungi okukugamba nti Kristo ajja kukwaniriza leero—weewaawo, mu ssaawa eno ddala.

Bakabaka n’abalangira ab’ensi eno, bwe bawa obuyita, bayita okwetooloola bo abagagga, ab’amaanyi, ab’ekitiibwa, n’ab’amagezi; naye Mukama, bwe yali ku nsi, yayita okwetooloola ye abasingira ddala obubi. “Omuntu ono,” baagamba, “asembeza abonoonyi, era alya nabo.” Abawooza, abonoonyi, n’abamalaaya baawagulukira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda mu biseera bye.

OMUNTU ONO ASEMBEZA ABONOONYI.

Wano mu London tewali kibiina ekyandyagadde okubeera n’omuntu nga John Bunyan bwe yali edda mu kibiina kyabwe; kyokka Mukama yamulokola, n’amwaniriza mu bwakabaka bwe. Wano waliwo omutamiivu omwavu eyagobebwa kitaawe ne nnyina, era eyalekebwa mikwano gye gyonna, naye Mukama amwanirizza. Mmanyi abamu ku bantu abaasingira ddala okugobebwa abaali balabikako, abagobebwa era abanyoomebwa buli muntu, kyokka Mukama yabaaniriza. Kale mukwate ku kigambo kye leero, era mukkirize okuyita kwe, “Oyo ajja gye ndi sirimugoba n’eddoboozi lyonna.”

Naye ogamba nti nsaanidde okusooka okuggyawo ebibi byange, olwo ne ndyoka njja gy’ali. Ekyo kifaanana ng’omuntu afa omusujja gw’ekifuba ng’agamba nti, “Ah, nnaalinda okusooka okuwona omusujja nga sinnaba kutumya musawo!” Kubanga ggwe oli mwonoonyi, era tosobola kwesuula bibi byo, kye kikwetaagisa Omulokozi. Singa mbadde nfa olw’enjala, kyandibadde kya magezi okugamba nti, “Bwe ndimala okuggyawo enjala eno, olwo ne ndyoka ntandika okulya.” Kubanga ndi muyala kye nnetaagira okulya, era kubanga tuli baonoonyi kye tunetaagira Kristo. Kubanga omuntu mulwadde kye yeetaagira omusawo, era Kristo ye Musawo w’emmeeme.

3. Mu Lukka 5 tusoma ku mugenge ng’ajja eri Kristo, Mukama n’amugamba nti,

“NJAGALA: TUKUKA.”

Amangwago ebigenge ne bimuvaako. Ogwo gwe Ndikola omulala gwe njagala okubasikako obwongo. Kaakano, singa wabaawo omusajja oba omukazi wano ajjudde ebigenge by’ekibi, bw’onoogenda butereevu eri Mukama n’omubuulira embeera yo yonna, ajja kwogera naawe nga bwe yayogera n’omugenge omwavu oli, ng’agamba nti, “Njagala: tukuka,” era ebigenge by’ebibi byo bijja kukudduka. Mukama, era Mukama yekka, ye asobola okusonyiwa ebibi. Laba ekigambo kye, kirabe bulungi, “Njagala: tukuka,” olwo oteeke ekyo wamu n’olunyiriri olulala, “Oyo ajja gye ndi sirimugoba n’eddoboozi lyonna.”

ABO SETAANI BE YASUULA.

Olunaku lumu Whitfield bwe yali abuulira, yagamba nti Mukama yali ayagala nnyo okulokola emyoyo n’okuyinza n’okwaniriza n’abo Setaani be yasuula. Lady Huntingdon n’amunenya, ng’agamba nti teyandyogedde bigambo bifaanana bwe bityo. Naye oluvannyuma lwa kaseera, ne wajja mu kubuulira kwe omukazi omwavu eyali agudde, eyagobebwa mu mbeera y’abantu. Yali azitoowereddwa okumatiza kw’ekibi, era mu bbanga ttono n’afuna emirembe mu Mulokozi we, era n’ayanirizibwa butereevu mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda. Kale bwe wabaawo omwonoonyi omwavu wano, ka akwate ku lunyiriri luno olulala, olwo ajjukire omugenge omwavu oli ng’ajja eri Kristo. Amateeka gaamugaana okujja, naye Kristo ali waggulu w’amateeka. “Amateeka gaajja ku Musa, naye ekisa n’amazima byajja ku Yesu Kristo.”

Kaakano, oyinza okukola enkyukakyuka ey’ekyewuunyo leero. Oyinza okufuna obulamu mu kifo ky’obulwadde; oyinza okwesuula buli kintu ekibi era ekikyayibwa mu maaso ga Katonda. Omwana wa Katonda akka wansi, n’agamba nti, “Ndiggyawo ebigenge byo, ne nkuwa obulamu mu kifo kyabyo. Ndiggyawo endwadde eyo enkambwe ezikiriza omubiri gwo n’emmeeme yo, ne nkuwa obutuukirivu bwange mu kifo kyayo. Ndikwambaza ebyambalo by’obulokozi.” Si kya kyewuunyo? Ekyo kye kitegeeza bw’ayogera nti Ndikola. Owange, kwata ku ‘Ndikola’ kino!

4. Kaakano kyuka olage mu Matayo 10:32: “Buli anaanjatula mu maaso g’abantu, nange ndimwatula mu maaso ga Kitange ali mu ggulu.” Wano waliwo

‘NDIKOLA’ OW’OKWATULA.

Kaakano, ekyo kye kigenda okuddirira ng’omuntu amaze okulokolebwa. Tunaazibbwa mu musaayi gw’Omwana gw’Endiga, ekyo ekiddako kwe kuggula emimwa gyaffe. Tulina okwatula Kristo wano mu nsi eno enkwafu, n’okubuulira abalala okwagala kwe. Tetusaana kukwatirwa nsonyi Mwana wa Katonda.

Omuntu akiraba ng’ekitiibwa kinene bw’afuna obuwanguzi obuleetera erinnya lye okwatulwa mu Palamenti, oba mu maaso ga Kabaka n’ab’oluggya lwe. Kitiibwa kinene nnyo. Era mu Bukiina, tusoma nti, ekyegombebwa ekisinga eky’omuserikale eyawangula kwe kuwandiikibwa erinnya lye mu lubiri oba mu yeekaalu ya Confucius. Naye lowooza ku kufuna erinnya lyo nga lyatulwa mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu Omulangira ow’Ekitiibwa, Omwana wa Katonda, kubanga omwatula wano ku nsi. Omwatula wano; ajja kukwatula eyo. Bw’oyagala okuleetebwa mu kitangaala eky’eddembe, oteekwa okuyimirira ku ludda lwa Kristo. Mmanyi Abakristaayo bangi nga bawaba mu kizikiza, ne batayingira mu kitangaala eky’obwakabaka, kubanga baakwatirwa ensonyi okwatula Omwana wa Katonda. Temukwatirwanga nsonyi, mmwe Abakristaayo, okuleka mikwano gyammwe, era n’abalabe bammwe, bamanye nti muli ku ludda lwa Katonda.

5. Ndikola eddako kwe

‘NDIKOLA’ OW’OBUWEEREZA.

Ndi mukakafu nti waliwo Abakristaayo bangi wano abazuukuse era abakubiriziddwa okugamba nti, “Njagala okukola obuweereza obumu eri Kristo.” Kale, Kristo agamba nti, “Mungoberere, nange ndibafuula abavubi b’abantu.” Tewali Mukristaayo ataayinza kuyamba kuleeta muntu eri Omulokozi. Kristo agamba nti, “Nange, bwe ndiwanikibwa waggulu, ndisikako abantu bonna gye ndi”; era omulimu gwaffe kwe kuwanika Kristo waggulu, n’okumubeerera. Oyinza okweyongera okubuulira ng’akati mukalungi bwe Malayika Gabuliyeeri; naye bw’oba obeera ng’omusota, okubuulira kwo tekugasa. Sifaayo nga bw’oli omwogezi, era ebigambo ebirungi by’okozesa, okubuulira kwo tekugasa. Tekigasa kugoberera muntu ono oba oyo; goberera Kristo, era ye yekka. Agamba nti, Ndibafuula abavubi b’abantu.

PETERO YAKWATA EKIBBO KU LUNAKU OLWA PENTEKOSITE.

Nzikiriza nti teyakwatako byennyanja bingi ku lunaku lumu nga bwe yakwata abantu ku lunaku olwa Pentekosite. Kyandimenye buli kimonde kye baalina mu lyato, singa baali balina okuwalula ebyennyanja enkumi ssatu.

Mukama waffe yagamba nti, “Ngoberera, Peetero, nange ndikufuula omuvubi w’abantu”; Peetero n’amugondera bugonzi, era awo, ku lunaku olwa Pentekosite, tulaba ekyavaamu.

Naye waliwo ensonga emu, era ensonga enene, lwaki bangi tebawangula. Nabuuzibwa abasajja abalungi bangi nti, “Lwaki tetufuna bibala byonna? Tukola nnyo, tusaba nnyo, era tubuulira nnyo, kyokka obuwanguzi tebujja.” Ka mbabuulire. Kubanga abantu bangi bamala ebiseera byabwe byonna nga baddaabiriza ebimonde byabwe. Tewali kya kwewuunya nga tebakwatako kintu kyonna.

ENKUŊŊAANA EZ’OKUBUUZAKANYA.

Naye ekikulu kwe kutereeza enkuŋŋaana ez’okubuuzakanya, olwo n’osika ekimonde n’olaba oba okwatiddeko ekintu. Bw’oba bulijjo oddaabiriza era osiba ekimonde, tojja kukwata byennyanja bingi. Ani eyali awuliddeko ku muntu agenda okuvuba, n’asiba ekimonde kye, olwo n’akireka awo, n’atakisikayo? Buli muntu yandisekereredde obusiru bw’omuntu oyo.

Waaliwo omuweereza mu Manchester eyajja gye ndi olunaku lumu, n’agamba nti, “Njagala ombuulire lwaki ffe abaweereza tetuwangula bulungi nga bwe twandyagadde.” Kale ne mmuleetera endowooza eno ey’okusika ekimonde, ne mmugamba nti, Osaanidde okusika ebimonde byo. Nagamba nti waliwo abaweereza bangi mu Manchester abasobola okubuulira obulungi okunsinga, naye nze nsika ekimonde. Abantu bangi balina obutakkiriza ku nkuŋŋaana ez’okubuuzakanya, naye ne mmukakaatako obukulu bwazo, omuweereza n’agamba nti, “Sasikangayo kimonde; nnaagezaako Ssande ejja.” Yakola bwe atyo, era abantu munaana, ababuuzakanya abaali beeraliikiridde, ne bayingira mu kifo kye eky’okusomera. Ssande eyaddirira n’aserengeta okundaba, n’agamba nti teyali afunye Ssande efaanana bw’etyo mu bulamu bwe. Yali afunye omukisa ogw’ekyewuunyo. Omulundi ogwaddirira bwe yasika ekimonde ne wabaawo abantu amakumi ana, era bwe yajja okundaba mu Opera House mu nnaku eziyise, n’aŋŋamba n’essanyu nti, “Moody, nfunye abakyuse lukumi mu kinaana omwaka guno oguyise! Kya nsobi nnene nti sasooka kutandika kusika kimonde.” Kale, mikwano gyange, bwe muba mwagala okukwata abantu,

SIKA EKIMONDE.

Bw’onookwata omu okka, kijja kuba kya muwendo. Kiyinza okuba omwana omuto, naye mmanyi omwana omuto ng’akyusa amaka gonna. Tomanyi kiri mu mulenzi oyo omuto ow’omutwe omuzito mu kisenge eky’okubuuzakanya; ayinza okufuuka Martin Luther, omu ku bakyusa abaakankanya ensi—toyinza kukigamba. Katonda akozesa ebintu ebinafu eby’ensi eno okuswaza eby’amaanyi. Ekisuubizo kya Katonda kirungi ng’ettike lya Bank of England—“Nsuubiza okusasula gundi,” era luno olumu ku mpapula za Kristo ez’ebisuubizo—“Bw’onoongoberera, ndikufuula omuvubi w’abantu.” Tojja kukwata ku kisuubizo, n’okikkiriza, n’okumugoberera kaakano?

Naye olwo, bw’oyagala okukwata abantu, oteekwa okukozesa katono—njogere ntya?—

AMAGEZI AMATEEFU.

Ako ke kalungi kaakyo mu Luzungu olutereevu. Omuntu bw’abuulira enjiri, n’agibuulira n’obwesigwa, asaanidde okusuubira ebibala eyo n’eryawo. Naye ng’amaze okulangirira amawulire amalungi, ka abeere n’olukuŋŋaana olw’okubuuzakanya, era bwe kiba kyetaagisa, olukuŋŋaana olwokubiri, era agende mu maka g’abantu ayogere era asabe nabo, era mu ngeri eyo abantu bibumbe balireetebwa eri Katonda. Nzikiriza nti gwe mukisa gw’abaana ba Katonda okukungula ebibala by’emirimu gyabwe ennaku ebikumi bisatu mu nkaaga mu ttaano mu mwaka.

“Kale, naye,” abamu bagamba, “tewali kiseera kya kusiga era n’ekya makungula?” Weewaawo, kya mazima, waliwo; naye olwo, oyinza okusiga n’omukono ogumu, n’okungula n’ogundi. Wandirowoozezza otya ku mulimi eyeeyongera okusiga omwaka gwonna, n’atalowooza ku makungula? Nziramu okukyogera, twagala okusiga n’omukono ogumu, n’okungula n’ogundi; era bwe tunoonya ebibala by’emirimu gyaffe, tujja kubiraba. “Bwe ndiwanikibwa waggulu, ndisikako abantu bonna gye ndi.” Tuteekwa okuwanika Kristo waggulu, olwo ne tunoonya abantu, ne tubaleeta gy’ali. Olwo nate, oteekwa okukozesa ekyokusikako ekituufu. Abantu bangi tebakola kino, olwo ne beewuunya lwaki tebawangula. Obalaba nga baleeta ebyokusanyusa ebya buli ngeri okugezaako okukwata abantu. Bakwata ekkubo ekikyamu. Ka mbabuulire ensi eno ekabula ky’eyagala: eyagala

KRISTO ERA OYO EYAKOMERERWA.

Waliwo ekifo ekyereere mu kifuba kya buli muntu ekyetaaga okujjuzibwa, era bwe tubasembera n’ekyokusikako ekituufu tujja kubakwata. Ensi eno ey’obwavu yeetaaga Omulokozi; era bwe tuba tugenda okuwangula mu kukwata abantu, tuteekwa okubuulira Kristo eyakomererwa—si bulamu bwe bwokka, wabula n’okufa kwe. Era bwe tuba tukola kino n’obwesigwa tujja kuwangula. Era lwaki? Kubanga waliwo ekisuubizo kye: “Bw’onoongoberera, ndikufuula omuvubi w’abantu.” Era ekisuubizo ekyo kikola bwe kimu gye tuli nga bwe kyakola eri abayigirizwa be, era kya mazima kaakano nga bwe kyali mu biseera byabwe. “Abagezigezi balyaka ng’enjuba mu bbanga; n’abo abakyusa abangi eri obutuukirivu ng’emmunyeenye emirembe n’emirembe.” Kale lowooza ku mukisa gwe waggulwa ogw’okukyusa emmeeme emu eri Kristo. Otandika omugga oguligenda mu maaso okumala emyaka mingi ng’ovuddewo. “Balina omukisa abafiira mu Mukama; kubanga bawummula okuva ku mirimu gyabwe, n’emirimu gyabwe gibagoberera.”

PAWULO N’EBYAWANDIIKA BYE.

Lowooza ku Pawulo eyo waggulu. Abantu bagenda waggulu buli lunaku era buli ssaawa, abasajja n’abakazi abaleeteddwa eri Kristo olw’ebyawandiika bye. Yatandika emigga egikulukuse okumala emyaka egisukka lukumi. Nsobola okulowooza abantu nga bagenda eyo nga bagamba nti, “Pawulo, nkwebaza olw’okuwandiika ebbaluwa eyo eri Abaefeso; nnasanga Kristo mu yo.” “Pawulo, nkwebaza olw’okuwandiika ebbaluwa eyo eri Abakkolinso.” “Pawulo, nnasanga Kristo mu bbaluwa eyo eri Abafiripi.” “Nkwebaza, Pawulo, olw’ebbaluwa eyo eri Abaggalatiya; nnasanga Kristo mu yo.” Era bwe ntyo, ndowooza, bagenda eyo nga beeyongera okwebaza Pawulo obudde bwonna olw’ekyo kye yakola. Ah, Pawulo bwe yateekebwa mu kkomera teyafunya mikono gye n’atuula mu bunafu. Nedda, yatandika okuwandiika; era ebbaluwa ze zijjidde okuyita mu myaka egiwanvu, era zireese abantu enkumi ku nkumi eri okumanya Kristo eyakomererwa. Weewaawo, Kristo yagamba Pawulo nti, “Ndikufuula omuvubi w’abantu bw’onoongoberera,” era abadde avuba emyoyo okuva olwo. Setaani yalowooza nti yakola ekintu eky’amagezi ennyo bwe yateeka Pawulo mu kkomera, naye yali akyamye nnyo; yasukkirira omulundi ogwo. Sirina kubuusabuusa nti Pawulo abadde yeebaza Katonda okuva olwo olw’ekkomera lya Firipi eryo, n’embooko ze n’okusibibwa kwe eyo. Ndi mukakafu nti ensi efunye okusinga bwe tuliyinza okumanya okutuusa lwe tulituuka mu ggulu.

6. Tusanga ‘Ndikola’ eddako mu Yokaana 14:18:

“SIRIBALEKA NGA TEMULINA MUBUDAABUDDE.”

Gye ndi ndowooza nnungi, nti Kristo tatulese bwomu mu ddungu lino ery’ekizikiza wano wansi. Newankubadde yagenze waggulu, n’atuula ku ntebe ya Kitaawe, tatulese. Envvuunula esinga obulungi eri, “Siribaleka nga muli bamulekwa.” Teyaleka Yusufu bwe baamuteeka mu kkomera. “Katonda yali wamu naye.” Danyeri bwe yasuulibwa mu kina eky’empologoma, baalina okuteeka Ayinzabyonna wamu naye. Baali basibiddwa awamu ne batayinza kwawukanyizibwa, era bw’atyo Katonda n’aserengeta mu kina eky’empologoma wamu ne Danyeri.

TEWALI KWAWUKANA.

Bwe tuba tulina Kristo naffe tuyinza okukola byonna. Tuleme kulowooza nga bwe tuli abanafu. Ka tuyimuse amaaso gaffe gy’ali, ne tumulowoozaako nga Mukulu waffe, alina obuyinza bwonna obuweereddwa mu ggulu ne ku nsi. Agamba nti: “Laba, ndi wamu nammwe, ne mu nkomerero y’ensi.” Abamu ku baana baffe ne mikwano gyaffe batuleka, era ssaawa ya nnaku nnyo omu ku ba mu maka gaffe bw’agenda mu nsi ey’ewala—oboolyawo mu Awusiturekiya. Naye, Katonda yeebazibwe, omukkiriza ne Kristo tebalyawukana. Ali naffe wano, era tuliba naye mu bujjuvu mu kaseera. Tuliba naye, era tumulabe mu bulungi bwe mu kaseera. Naye si ali naffe kyokka, wabula atuweereza Omwoyo Omutukuvu, alitubuulira ebintu byonna. Ka tuwe Omwoyo Omutukuvu ekitiibwa nga tukkiriza nti ali wano wakati mu ffe. Alina obuyinza okuwa amaaso abazibe b’amaaso, eddembe eri abasibe, n’okuggula amatu g’abaggavu baryoke bawulire ebigambo eby’ekitiibwa eby’enjiri.

7. Kale waliwo Ndikola omulala mu Yokaana 6:40; guddamu emirundi ena mu ssuula: “Ndimuzuukiza ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.”

‘NDIKOLA’ OW’OKUZUUKIRA.

Gye ndi ndowooza ennungi nnyo okulowooza nti nnina Omulokozi alina obuyinza ku kufa. Mukama wange omulungi akwata ebisumuluzo eby’okufa n’amagombe. Nsaasira omutakkiriza omwavu n’atakkiriza Katonda omwavu. Tebalina ssuubi mu kuzuukira. Naye buli mwana wa Katonda ayinza okuggula essuula eyo n’asoma ekisuubizo, era omutima gwe gusaana okubuuka munda ye olw’essanyu ng’akisoma. Omusuubuzi bulijjo ateeka ekyokulabirako ekisinga obulungi eky’ebyamaguzi bye mu ddirisa okutulaga omutindo gw’ebyamaguzi bye. Era bw’atyo, Kristo bwe yali wano wansi, yatuwa ekyokulabirako kya kye yali asobola okukola. Yazuukiza abasatu okuva mu bafu, tulyoke tumanye obuyinza bwe. Waaliwo (1) muwala wa Yayiro, (2) mutabani w’omu nnamwandu, ne (3) Laazaalo ow’e Besaniya. Yabazuukiza bonna abasatu, buli kubuusabuusa kuryoke kuvewo mu mitima gyaffe. Ensi eno yandibadde nkwafu era ejjudde ennaku bwe twandibadde tetulina ssuubi mu kuzuukira; naye kaakano, bwe tuteeka abaana baffe abato mu ntaana, wadde nga kiri mu nnaku, si kya watali ssuubi. Twabalaba nga bagenda, twabalaba mu kulwana okw’entiisa n’okufa; naye wabaddewo emmunyeenye emu ey’okwakaayaza ekizikiza n’ennaku—endowooza nti, wadde ekibiina eky’essanyu kimenyeddwa ku nsi, kirijjuzibwa nate mu nsi eri ey’ekitangaala eky’omu ggulu. Mmwe abafiiriddwa omwagalwa musanyuke nga musoma ‘Ndikola’ eyo. Abo abafiira mu Kristo balijja nate mu kaseera. Ekizikiza kirifukumuka, n’ekitangaala eky’enkya eky’okuzuukira kirimasamasa ku ffe. Kaseera katono kokka, era oyo eyakigamba alijja, eddoboozi lye liriwulirwa mu ntaana—“Ndimuzuukiza ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.” Ekisuubizo eky’omuwendo! Ndikola ow’omuwendo!

8. Kaakano, Ndikola eddako guli mu Yokaana 17:24: “Kitange, njagala n’abo, be wampa, babeere nange we ndi.”

‘NDIKOLA’ OW’EKITIIBWA.

Ekyo kyali mu kusaba kwe okw’enkomerero mu kisenge eky’abagenyi, ku kiro eky’enkomerero nga tannaba kukomererwa n’okufa okufa okw’entiisa okwo ku Kalvali. Ndaba abamu wano ab’ebyenyi ebitandika okwakaayakana olw’endowooza nti baliba ne Kabaka mu bulungi bwe mu kaseera. Weewaawo; waliwo olunaku olw’ekitiibwa olutulindiridde mu maaso. Abamu balowooza nti ku lunaku olusooka lwe bakyusibwa baba bafunye byonna. Mazima, tufuna obulokozi olw’ebyayita, n’emirembe olw’ebya kaakano; naye olwo waliwo ekitiibwa olw’ebigenda okujja. Ekyo kye kyakuuma Pawulo ng’asanyuka. Yagamba nti, “Okubonaabona kuno okwangu, embooko zino entono, amayinja n’amatoffaali gano ge bansuula—ekitiibwa ekiri eyo kisukkuluma nnyo ku byo n’okubibala nga si kintu, si kintu n’akatono, ndyoke mpangule Kristo.” Era bw’atyo, ebintu bwe bituwakanya, ka tusanyuke; ka tujjukire nti ekiro kirisala mangu, n’enkya n’etuvaayo.

OKUFA TEKUJJAYO.

Kwagobebwa okuva mu nsi eyo ey’omu ggulu. Obulwadde, n’obulumi, n’ennaku tebijjayo kwonoona maka ago amakulu era ag’ekitiibwa gye tuliba mu kaseera wamu ne Mukama. Ab’omu maka ga Katonda baliba bonna wamu eyo. Ekitiibwa ekigenda okujja, mikwano gyange! Weewaawo, olunaku olw’ekitiibwa! era luyinza okuba oluli okumpi ennyo okusinga bwe tulowooza abangi ku ffe. Mu nnaku zino entono ez’ekizikiza gye tuli wano, ka tuyimirire nga tunywevu era nga tugumu, olwo mu kaseera tuliba mu kibiina ekitamenyekedde mu nsi eri ey’ekitangaala, era tube ne Kabaka wakati mu ffe.

‘NDIKOLA’ OW’OMWONOONYI.

Kaakano waliwo Ndikola omu gwokka gwe njagala mwogere, era ogwo gwe Ndikola ow’omwonoonyi. Mufunye ‘Ndikola’ munaana eza Kristo: (1) Alituwa okuwummula; (2) Talisuula asingira ddala obubi, wabula alyaniriza bonna abajja; (3) Alitutukuza; (4) Alitwatula ng’ababe; (5) Alitufuula abawanguzi abakwata emyoyo; (6) Talituleka nga tetulina mubudaabudde; (7) Alituzuukiza ku lunaku olw’enkomerero; era (8) ayagala tubeere naye mu kitiibwa.

Kaakano njagala abonoonyi bagambe nti,

“NDIGOLOKOKA, NGENDE ERI KITANGE.”

Ani anaakigamba olw’oleero olw’eggulo? Ani anajja eri Katonda ng’omwana omusaasaanya omwavu bwe yakola? Nsobola okumulaba kaakano. Oboolyawo atunula okuyita ku nsozi ziri enziruwavu; era ewala mu bbanga asobola okulaba amaka ge yaleka, era amanyi nti waliwo kitaawe omwagalwa, omusajja omumyufu w’enviiri eyo; era agamba nti, Nzikiririra wano mu nsi ey’ekigwanga, ate nga waliwo emmere emala n’okusigalawo mu maka ago ge naleka; “Ndigolokoka, ngende eri kitange.” Ekyo kye kyali ekyusa mu bulamu bwe. Ekyo kyali kya kitiibwa okukola, si bwe kiri, omwonoonyi?

Mr. Spurgeon bwe yabuulira mu nnaku eziyise mu West End, yateeka wamu ebintu abawuliriza be bye baali bayiseeko. Abamu ku mmwe, yagamba, muyiseeko okusaba kw’abayigiriza b’essabbiiti abeesigwa abaakukaabira, ne bajja mu nnyumba ne bayogera nammwe. Mwagaana okwegayirira kwabwe kwonna, ne muyita ku buyinza bwabwe. Era muyiseeko amaziga n’okusaba kwa nnyammwe, ne ye, oboolyawo, yeebase mu ntaana leero; muyiseeko amaziga n’okusaba kwa kitammwe n’okw’omuweereza wammwe, eyabasabira era n’abakaabira wamu nammwe, omuweereza omutya Katonda era omwesigwa. Waaliwo ekiseera ebigambo bye bwe byabakwatako ddala, naye kaakano mubiyiseeko, era ebigambo bye tebibakwatako kintu; muyiseeko mu nkuŋŋaana ez’enjawulo, ne zitabakwatako kintu, tezaabakomako. Kyokka, mugamba nti, mukulaakulana. Kale, weewaawo mukulaakulana; naye mukijjukire, mukulaakulana mangu nga bwe musobola okugenda mu ggeyeena, era tewali muntu omu mu bantu omutwalo n’enkumi asobola okusuubira okulokolebwa ng’amaze okukakanyala mu mutima.

Owange, mikwano gyange, mugambe nti Ndigolokoka leero! Ka wabeewo essanyu mu ggulu leero olw’okudda kwammwe. Tusoma mu Lukka 15 nti, “Waliwo essanyu mu ggulu olw’omwonoonyi omu eyeenenya.” Bangi bakomewo kaakano, balyoke babeere balamu.

Nazikiridde, kyokka mmanyi,

Ensi teyinza kuwonya nnaku yange,

Ndigolokoka mangu ne ngenda,

Yesu yannfiirira.
