Apostle Grace Lubega

Philippians 4:8(KJV); Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

The truth as expressed in the scriptures must be the foundation of every aspect of the believer’s life.

It is not by simple coincidence that the starting point for our theme scripture is “WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE TRUE.”

God intentionally starts with truth.

Things are firstly TRUE before they can be judged as honest, before they can be seen to be just, to be pure, to be lovely, to be of virtue, and to be worthy of any praise.

In John 18:38, Pontius Pilate asked one of the fundamental questions of apologetic and philosophical debate. “What is truth?”

In John 17:17, Jesus gives the answer in its uncontroversial absoluteness. “SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THY TRUTH: THY WORD IS TRUTH.”

A life lived outside the scriptures is inevitably a life that easily succumbs to dishonesty, injustice, all forms of impurity, selfishness, and vice.

This is why in the give and take of everyday life, a Christian must ask themselves, “What does the Word say about this situation?”
When we ask this question, we seek to align ourselves to truth.

Some areas in life seem grey and leave room for compromise.

For example, issues of drinking alcohol, certain cultural practices, and some moral questions may not be very clear to some Christians.

However, when we look to the Word, it has the capacity to cast light on these shadows, to cut these matters asunder, separating bone and marrow and guiding us into truth (Hebrews 4:12).

FURTHER STUDY: John 8:32, John 15:3

GOLDEN NUGGET: Things are firstly TRUE before they can be judged as honest, before they can be seen to be just, to be pure, to be lovely, to be of virtue, and to be worthy of any praise.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the gift of Your Word. Thank You for the things that have been written for my learning and my comfort. Thank You for the things that have been given to me for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. I embrace Your Word as my daily reality and standard. It is not just on my lips, it is also my nature. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

OBULAMU OBW’AMAZIMA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Abafiripi4:8(KJV); Ebisigaddeyo, ab’oluganda, eby’amazima byonna, ebisaanira ekitiibwa byonna, eby’obutuukirivu byonna, ebirongoofu byonna, ebyagalibwa byonna, ebisiimibwa byonna; oba nga waliwo obulungi, era oba nga waliwo ettendo, ebyo mubirowoozenga.

Amazima nga bwe galambuluddwa mu byawandiikibwa ge galina okubeera omusingi gwa buli kitundu ky’obulamu bw’omukkiriza.

Ssi nsobi nti entandikwa y’ekyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo eri nti “EBY’AMAZIMA BYONNA.”

Katonda atandika n’amazima mu bugenderevu.

Ebintu birina kusooka kubeera BY’AMAZIMA nga tebinnaba kulabibwa ng’ebyesimbu, nga tebinnaba kulabibwa ng’ebituukirivu, ng’ebirongoofu, ng’ebyagalibwa, ng’ebirimu obulungi, era nga ebisaanira ettendo lyonna.

Mu Yokaana18:38, Piraato yabuuza ekimu ku bibuuzo ebisingayo obukulu mu kuwakana kw’abawolerezi b’amazima n’abanoonyerezi b’amagezi “Amazima kye ki?”

Mu Yokaana17:17, Yesu atuwa eky’okuddibwamu mu butuufu bwakyo ewatali kuwakana kwonna. “OBATUKUZE OKUYITA MU MAZIMA GO: EKIGAMBO KYO GE MAZIMA.”

Obulamu obutambuliziddwa wabweru w’ebyawandiikibwa bwe bulamu obwanguwa okwewaayo eri obukuusa, obutali bwenkanya, buli ngeri yonna ey’obutali bulongoofu, obwannakyemalira n’empisa ezitali nnungi.

Eno y’ensonga lwaki mu bulamu obwa bulijjo obw’enkolangana ez’okubaako ky’owaayo okusobola nawe okubaako ky’ofuna, omukristaayo alina okwebuuza, “Ekigambo kyogera ki ku mbeera eno?” Bwe tubuuza ekibuuzo kino, tunoonya okukkiriziganya n’amazima.

Ebifo ebimu mu bulamu birabika ng’ebitali birambulukufu ne birekawo omwagaanya ogw’okwekkiriranya.

Okugeza, ensonga ez’okunywa omwenge, ennono ezimu ez’obuwangwa n’ebibuuzo ku nneeyisa ezimu ssi birambulukufu bulungi eri abakristaayo abamu.

Naye, bwe tutunuulira Ekigambo, kirina obusobozi okumulisa ebisiikirize bino, okulambulula ensonga zino, okwawula amagumba n’obusomyo okusobola okutuluηηamya mu amazima( Abaebbulaniya 4:12)

YONGERA OSOME: Yokaana 8:32, Yokaana 15:3

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Ebintu birina kusooka kubeera BYA MAZIMA nga tebinnaba kulabibwa nga byesimbu, nga tebinnaba kulabibwa ng’ebituukirivu, ng’ebirongoofu, ng’ebyagalibwa, ng’ebirimu obulungi, era nga ebisaanira ettendo lyonna.

ESSAALA:  Kitange, nkwebaza ku lw’ekirabo ky’Ekigambo Kyo. Nkwebaza ku lw’ebintu ebiwandiikiddwa ku lw’okuyiga kwange n’okuwambaatira kwange. Weebale ku lw’ebintu ebimpeereddwa ku lw’okuyigirizibwa, okunenyezebwa, okulagirirwa n’okunuηηamya mu butuukirivu. Nnyaniriza Ekigambo Kyo ng’obwannamaddala bwange obwa buli lunaku era omutindo gwange. Tekiri bubeezi ku mimwa gyange, kiri ne mu mbala yange. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

AMAGARA G’AMAZIMA

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Abafilipi 4:8 Eky’aha muheru, B’eishe-emwe, byona eby’amazima, byona ebishemereire kuheebwa ekitiinisa, byona eby’oburyo, byona ebishemeire, byona ebirikushemeza, byona ebirikusiimwa, ku haraabe hariho oburungi, ku haraabe hariho ebishemereire kuhimbisibwa, mube nibyo mwateekateekaho.

Amazima nk’okugashoboreirwe omu byahandiikirwe gashemereire kuba omusingi gwa buri kicweeka eky’amagara g’omwikiriza.

Tinshobi ngu obutandikiro bw’omutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu ni “BYONA EBY’AMAZIMA.”

Ruhanga nakigyenderera kutandika n’amazima.

Ebintu nibibanza biri AMAZIMA bitakabazirwe nk’ebyiine ekitiinisa, bitakareebirwe nk’ebitaine rubanja, nk’ebishemeire, nk’ebirikushemeza, nk’ebirikusiimwa kandi nk’ebirikuhimbisibwa.

Omu Yohaana 18:38, Pilaato akabuuza kimwe aha bibuuzo bikuru by’abarikutonganira engiri. “Amazima niki?”

Omu Yohaana 17:17, Yesu nakigarukamu omu buhikire bwaakyo. “OBEEZE OMU MAZIMA; EKIGAMBO KYAWE NIGO MAZIMA.”

Amagara agatwiirwe aheru y’ebyahandiikirwe n’amagara garikurahuka kutagira amazima, againe orubanja, agatakushemera, agarikwemanya hamwe n’agemize.

Eki nikyo ahabwenki omu kuheereza n’okwakiira kw’amagara agaburiijo, omukristayo ashemereire kwebuuza, “Ekigambo nikigambaki aha nshonga egi?” Kuturikubuuza ekibuuzo eki, nitusherura kuza omu muhanda gw’amazima.

Ebicweeka ebimwe omu magara gaitu nibireebeka nk’ebitari by’amazima kandi nibyorobera ekibi.

Eky’okureeberaho, enshonga z’okunywa amaarwa, eby’obuhangwa ebimwe hamwe n’ebibuuzo by’emicwe tibishoborokiirwe abakristayo abamwe.

Kwonka, kuturikuta amaisho aha kigambo, kiine amaani kumurika omushana aha biminyiminyi ebi, kubaganisa enshonga ezi, kutaanisa engingo n’omushokooro kandi n’okutwebembera omu mazima. (Abaheburaayo 4:12).

SHOMA NEEBI: Yohaana 8:32, Yohaana 15:3

EZAABU: Ebintu nibibanza biri AMAZIMA bitakabazirwe nk’ebyiine ekitiinisa, bitakareebirwe nk’ebitaine rubanja, nk’ebishemeire, nk’ebirikushemeza, nk’ebirikusiimwa kandi nk’ebirikuhimbisibwa.

OKUSHABA: Taata, ninkusiima ahabw’ekiconco ky’amagara gaawe. Ninkusiima ahabw’ebintu ebihandiikirwe ahabw’okunyegyesa n’okumpumuriza. Ninkusiima ahabw’ebintu ebimpeirwe kunyegyesa, kumpana, kumpabura kandi n’okuntendeka omu by’okuhikiirira. Ninyakiira ekigambo kyaawe nk’amazima gangye gabutoosha. Tikiri aha minwa yangye, n’obuhangwa bwangye. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.
