The Phaneroo Devotion: A Lover Of Truth: The Bible Is The Foundation
Apostle Grace Lubega
2 Thessalonians 2:10 (KJV); And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Some people agree with the Word of God; they ‘identify’ with its teachings; they sympathize with its moral philosophies but they do not LOVE the truth.
To these people, the Bible is a good book, nothing more than a literary curiosity.
But if you love the truth, then the Bible must become more than a collection of commendable stories.
To love the truth is to respect the Word and do as it says as the fountain of all life’s instructions.
When you love the truth, you are quick to repent in the event that you find yourself acting contrary to its dictates.
Many people in the world are victims of what some philosophers call situational ethics– the tendency to apply moral laws based on one’s circumstances. If it suits you, then it applies; if it does not suit you, it is too harsh a standard for your behaviour.
When you love the truth, you never find ways to justify your actions that are outside the context of the Word.
No matter how hard the truth is, the lover of it takes it in good stride, changes his ways and attitudes, and aligns his mind to what the Word of God requires.
FURTHER STUDY: Luke 6:46, James 1:22
GOLDEN NUGGET: To love the truth is to respect the Word and do as it says as the fountain of all life’s instructions. When you love the truth, you are quick to repent in the event that you find yourself acting contrary to its dictates.
PRAYER: My Father, I thank You for this truth. I thank You for the gift of Your Word and what it continues to do in my life. I cannot outlive it and cannot live without it; it is my lifeblood and the fountain of all wisdom, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

2 Abasessaloniika 2:10 (KJV); N’okukyamya kwonna okutali kwa butuukirivu eri abo ababula; kubanga tebakkiriza kwagala mazima, balyoke balokoke.
Abantu abamu bakkiriziganya n’Ekigambo kya Katonda; ‘bafaananya bingi’ n’ensomesa yakyo; balumirirwa ensomesa yakyo ku mpisa naye TEBAAGALA mazima.
Eri abantu bano, Baibuli kitabo kirungi, tekisukka ku kuba kitabo ekiyaayaanibwa okusomebwa okuzuula ebipya.
Naye bw’oba ng’oyagala amazima, olwo no Baibuli erina okusukka ku kuŋŋanyizo ly’engero ez’egombebwa.
Okwagala amazima kwe kuwa ekitiibwa Ekigambo era n’okukola nga bwekigamba ng’ensulo ey’ebiragiro byonna eby’obulamu.
Bw’oba ng’oyagala amazima, oyanguwa okwenenya bwe wesanga nga weyisa mu ngeri ewakanya okusomesa kwago.

Bw’oba oyagala amazima, tonoonyayo ngeri zakunnyonnyola bikolwa byo wabweru wenjegooyego z’ekigambo.
Newankubadde ng’amazima makakali gatya, omwagazi waago agatwaala mu bulungi, akyuusa amakubo ge n’engeri gyayanukula mu, era n’atereeza endowooza ye eri ekyo Ekigambo kya Katonda kye kyetaaga.
YONGERA OSOME: Lukka 6:46, Yakobo 1:22
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okwagala amazima kwe kuwa ekitiibwa Ekigambo era n’okukola nga bwekigamba ng’ensulo y’ebiragiro byonna eby’obulamu. Bw’oba ng’oyagala amazima, oyanguwa okwenenya bwe wesanga nga weyisa mu ngeri ewakanya okusomesa kwago.

MPENDA KWELI: BIBLIA NDIO MSINGI
Mtume Grace Lubega
2 Wathesalonike 2:10 (KJV); na katika madanganyo yote ya udhalimu kwa hao wanaopotea; kwa sababu hawakukubali kuipenda ile kweli, wapate kuokolewa.
Watu wengine wanakubaliana na Neno la Mungu; ‘wanajitambulisha’ pamoja na mafundisho yake; wanasikitikia falsafa zake za kimaadili lakini HAWAIPENDI kweli.
Kwa watu hawa, Biblia ni kitabu kizuri, si kitu zaidi ya udadisi wa kifasihi.
Lakini ikiwa unapenda kweli, basi Biblia lazima iwe zaidi ya mkusanyiko wa hadithi za kusifiwa.
Kuipenda kweli ni kuheshimu Neno na kufanya kama linavyosema kama chemchemi ya maagizo yote ya maisha.
Unapoipenda kweli, unakuwa mwepesi wa kutubu endapo utajikuta unatenda kinyume na maagizo yake.
Watu wengi ulimwenguni ni wahasiriwa wa kile ambacho wanafalsafa fulani hukiita maadili ya hali – mwelekeo wa kutumia sheria za maadili kulingana na hali ya mtu. Ikiwa inakufaa, basi inatumika; ikiwa haikufai, ni kiwango kikali sana kwa tabia yako.
Unapoipenda kweli, hupati kamwe njia za kuhalalisha matendo yako ambayo yako nje ya muktadha wa Neno.
Haidhuru kweli ni ngumu kadiri gani, anayeipenda huchukua hatua nzuri, hubadili njia na mitazamo yake, na kupatanisha akili yake na yale ambayo Neno la Mungu linataka.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Luka 6:46, Yakobo 1:22
UJUMBE MKUU: Kupenda kweli ni kuheshimu Neno na kufanya kama linavyosema kama chemchemi ya maagizo yote ya maisha. Unapoipenda kweli, unakuwa mwepesi wa kutubu endapo utajikuta unatenda kinyume na maagizo yake.
SALA: Baba yangu, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Ninakushukuru kwa zawadi ya Neno lako na kile ambacho kinaendelea kufanya maishani mwangu. Siwezi kuishi zaidi na siwezi kuishi bila hiyo; ni damu yangu na chemchemi ya hekima yote, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
