Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Peter 4:8 (NIV); Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

One day, I visited a minister who in the eyes of many seemed ‘fallen’. He was the subject of ridicule and condemnation. Some with whom he had ministered and to whom he had ministered considered his mistakes too grave and had shunned him because of them.

When I went to see him, the Lord said to me, ‘I alone am big enough to forgive him.’

There are many people in similar circumstances. They have fallen short in the eyes of their accusers, suffered moral failures and have been rejected and ostracised by the church. Only God is big enough to forgive them.

Do not underestimate the love of God; its depth, breadth, height or length. This love reaches the highest mountains and the lowest valleys. If it must get to a man it will scale the greatest heights or burrow down into the lowest depths of the earth.

What is our part?

We should not distance ourselves from God’s redeeming love by condemning and rejecting those who we perceive as morally weak. We should connect to the bigness of God’s heart and allow Him to love men in His way, through us.

If God is big enough to forgive anything and we claim to be His children, we must be big enough to forgive anything too.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:8-11, Romans 5:5

GOLDEN NUGGET: Do not underestimate the love of God; its depth, breadth, height or length. This love reaches the highest mountains and the lowest valleys. If it must get to a man it will scale the greatest heights or burrow down into the lowest depths of the earth.

PRAYER: My Father, I thank You for this knowledge. Thank You for the revelation of Your love and of all that it can do. I yield to You that You may love men through me. On my own, I may fall short because of feelings of betrayal and disappointment. But You heal, mend what is broken, give a higher vision and cause me to love in Jesus’ name, Amen.

MUNENE EKIMALA OKUSONYIWA

Omutume Grace Lubega.

1 Peetero 4:8 (NIV); okusinga byonna nga mulina okwagalananga okungi ennyo mwekka na mwekka: kubanga okwagala kubikka ku bibi bingi:

Lumu, nakyalirako omuweereza eyali nga mu maaso g’abangi yali agudde. Yali afuuse eky’okusekererwa n’okusalirwa omusango. Abamu ku abo be yaweerezaako nabo n’abalala be yaweereza gye bali ensobi ze baazitwala nga embi ennyo n’olwekyo ne bamwegobako olwa zo.

Bwe nagenda okumulaba, Mukama yaŋŋamba, ‘Nze nzekka Omunene ekimala okumusonyiwa.’

Waliwo abantu bangi mu mbeera ze zimu. Bagudde okuva mu maaso g’abo ababasalira omusango, balemereddwa mu mpisa zaabwe era bagaaniddwa ne bagobebwa ekkanisa. Katonda yekka ye munene ekimala okubasonyiwa.

Tonyoomanga kwagala kwa Katonda; obuziba bwakwo, obugazi, obugulumivu oba obuwanvu bwakwo. Okwagala kuno kutumbiira paka ku nsozi ezisinga obuwanvu n’ebikko ebisinga okubeera wansi. Bwe kubeera nga kwakutuuka eri omuntu, kujja kuwalampa obuwanvu obusingayo oba kusime okutuuka ku ntobo y’ensi.

Ekitundu kyaffe ky’ekiriwa?

Tetulina kwegoba okuva eri okwagala kwa Katonda okununula nga tusalira omusango n’okwegaana abo be tulaba nga abanafu mu mpisa. Tulina okwekwata ku bunene bw’omutima gwa Katonda era tumuganye okwagala abantu engeri Ye okuyita muffe.

Bw’aba nga Katonda munene ekimala okusonyiwa ekintu kyonna ate nga tweyita baana be, tulina okubeera abanene ekimala naffe okusonyiwa ekintu kyonna.

YONGERA OSOME: 1 Yokaana 4:8-11, Abaruumi 5:5.

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Tonyomaanga kwagala kwa Katonda; obuziba bwakwo, obugazi, obugulumivu oba obuwanvu bwakwo. Okwagala kuno kutumbiira paka ku nsozi ezisinga obuwanvu n’ebikko ebisinga okubeera wansi. Bwe kubeera nga kwakutuuka eri omuntu, kujja kuwalampa obuwanvu obusingayo oba kusime okutuuka ku ntobo y’ensi.

ESSAALA: Kitange, nkwebaza olw’amagezi gano. Weebale olw’okubikkulirwa kw’okwagala Kwo n’ebyo byonna bye kusobola okukola. Neewayo Gy’oli Oyagale abantu okuyita mu nze. Ku lwange, nandiyinza okulemererwa olw’okuwulira nga alirwamu olukwe era nga gwe bayiye. Naye Ggwe Owonya, osiba ebimenyese, owa okwolesebwa okwa waggulu era n’ondeetera okwagala mu linnya lya Yesu, Amiina.

MKUBWA WA KUTOSHA KUSAMEHE

Mtume Grace Lubega

1 Petero 4:8 (NIV); Zaidi ya yote iweni na juhudi nyingi katika kupendana; kwa sababu upendano husitiri wingi wa dhambi.

Siku moja, nilimtembelea mhudumu ambaye machoni pa wengi alionekana ‘ameanguka’. Alidhihakiwa na kuhukumiwa. Wengine ambao alikuwa amehudumu nao na ambao alikuwa amewahudumia walichukulia makosa yake kuwa mabaya zaidi na walikuwa wamemtenga kwa sababu ya hayo.

Nilipokwenda kumuona, Bwana akaniambia, ‘Mimi peke yangu ni mkubwa wa kutosha kumsamehe.’

Kuna watu wengi katika hali sawa na hii. Wamepungukiwa machoni mwa washtaki wao, wamepata hitilafu za kimaadili na wamekataliwa na kutengwa na kanisa. Mungu pekee ndiye mkubwa wa kutosha kuwasamehe.

Usiudharau upendo wa Mungu; kina chake, upana, kimo au urefu wake. Upendo huu hufikia milima yenye kimo zaidi na mabonde ya chini kabisa. Ikiwa lazima ufike kwa mtu utapanda kimo kikubwa zaidi au kuchimba kina cha chini zaidi cha dunia.

Sehemu yetu ni ipi?

Hatupaswi kujitenga na upendo wa ukombozi wa Mungu kwa kuwashutumu na kuwakataa wale ambao tunahisi ni wanyonge kimaadili. Tunapaswa kuungana na ukuu wa moyo wa Mungu na kumruhusu kuwapenda wanadamu kwa njia Yake, kupitia kwetu.

Ikiwa Mungu ni mkubwa wa kutosha kusamehe chochote na tunadai kuwa watoto Wake, lazima tuwe wakubwa wa kutosha kusamehe chochote pia.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 1 Yohana 4: 8-11, Warumi 5: 5

UJUMBE MKUU: Usiudharau upendo wa Mungu; kina chake, upana, kimo au urefu wake. Upendo huu hufikia milima yenye kimo zaidi na mabonde ya chini kabisa. Ikiwa lazima ufike kwa mtu utapanda kimo kikubwa zaidi au kuchimba kina cha chini zaidi cha dunia.

SALA: Baba yangu, nakushukuru kwa maarifa haya. Asante kwa ufunuo wa upendo Wako na yote ambayo unaweza kufanya. Ninajisalimisha kwako ili uweze kuwapenda wanadamu kupitia kwangu. Peke yangu, naweza kupungukiwa kwa sababu ya hisia za usaliti na kukatishwa tamaa. Lakini Wewe uponye, rekebisha yaliyovunjika, nipe maono ya juu zaidi na kunifanya nipende katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
