Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Timothy 3:5,7(KJV); Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away… Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

There is a difference between being a student of the Word and a disciple of the Word. A student may know the scriptures, understand their historical context and even know their Hebrew and Greek phonetics and transliterations. 

It is not a bad thing to know these things but knowing them is not a guarantee that the person knows God. It might only amount to having lot of information about the Bible and nothing else.

If what one has is only plenty of information about the Bible, our theme scripture says of such a person, that he or she is ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. 

On the other hand, a disciple of the Word is submitted to the Word and allows it to not only teach but to also work by its inherent power through him. When a disciple of the Word studies the scriptures, he is not merely amassing information, the life of the Word manifests through everything he says and does. 

To become a disciple of the Word, you must understand that the Word is a person(John 1:14). He is not a collection of 66 books full of fanciful and somewhat entertaining stories. 

Students of the Word often get lost in the wonders of the Word and miss His person.

As a person, the Word asks and answers questions, He sees, hears, tastes and communicates feelings and convictions.

So, the next time you open your Bible, you must be conscious of these things: do you see through His eyes; do you hear through His ears; do you listen when He speaks; do you understand how He feels? 

This is what leads you into a relationship with the Word. In fact, His person is what makes His words spirit and life (John 6:63). 

Exercise yourself in this understanding. Let your Bible study time be more than a superficial duty to tick off a list. Let it be time spent with a person, a friend you get to know more deeply as He takes you through the pages of the blueprint and manual of His personality.

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: John 1:14, Hebrews 4:12-13

GOLDEN NUGGET: To become a disciple of the Word, you must understand that the Word is a person. Let your Bible study time be time spent with a person, a friend you get to know more deeply as He takes you through the pages of the blueprint and manual of His personality.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this knowledge. I am submitted to Your precepts and instructions. I know the Word is the very person of who You are and I study the scriptures in this understanding. As I continue to relate with You, You launch me into deeper insights of Your Person. 
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

AYIGIRIZIDDWA EKIGAMBO – 1

Omutume Grace Lubega

2 Timoseewo 3:5,7(KJV) nga balina ekifaananyi ky’okutya Katonda, naye nga beegaana amaanyi gaakwo: era nabo obakubanga amabega…. abayiga bulijjo, ne batayinza ennaku zonna okutuuka ku kutegeerera ddala amazima.

Waliwo enjawulo wakati w’okubeera omuyizi w’Ekigambo n’okubeera omuyigirizwa w’Ekigambo.
Omuyizi ayinza okumanya ebyawandiikibwa, ng’ategeera ebyafaayo ebikwata ku byawandiikibwa ebyo, ng’amanyi n’enjatula era n’empandiika yabyo mu luyudaaya ne mu luyonaani.

Ssi kibi okumanya ebintu bino naye okubimanya ssi bwe bukakafu nti omuntu oyo amanyi Katonda. Kiyinza kukomekkereza mu kuba ne bwiino omungi akwata ku Baibuli kyokka.

Omuntu bw’aba nga ky’alina kyokka ye bwiino omungi akwata ku Baibuli, olunyiriri lwaffe olugguddewo lwogera ku muntu ng’oyo nga lugamba nti, abeera ayigirizibwa bulijjo, naye nga tayinza ennaku zonna kutuuka ku kutegeerera ddala mazima.

Ku luuyi olulala, omuyigirizwa w’Ekigambo aba yewaddeyo eri Ekigambo era nakikkiriza ssi kumusomesa kwokka wabula n’okukolera mu ye nga kiyita mu maanyi agakirimu.
Omuyigirizwa w’Ekigambo bw’asoma ebyawandiikibwa, abeera takungaanya bukungaanya bwiino, obulamu bw’Ekigambo bwolesebwa okuyita mu buli kimu ky’ayogera era ne ky’akola.

Okufuuka omuyigirizwa w’Ekigambo, oteekeddwa okutegeera nti Ekigambo, muntu(Yokaana 1:14). Ssi kungaanyizo lya bitabo nkaaga mu mukaaga(66), ebijjudde engero ezinyuma naye nga ssi za ddala.

Abayizi b’Ekigambo batera okubulira mu byewuunyo by’Ekigambo ne basubwa Omuntu w’Ekigambo.

Ng’omuntu, Kigambo abuuza era n’addamu ebibuuzo, alaba, awulira, aloza era ayogera empulira n’okulumiriza kwe.

N’olwekyo, omulundi omulala gw’onabikkula Baibuli yo, oteekeddwa okubeera n’okumanya kw’ebintu bino: olaba nga Bw’alaba; owulira nga Bw’awulira; owuliriza ng’Ayogedde; otegeera Bw’awulira?

Kino kye kikuyingiza mu nkolagana n’Ekigambo. Eky’amazima, Omuntu we (Kigambo) yaafuula ebigambo bye omwoyo n’obulamu ( Yokana 6:63).

Wetendeke mu kutegeera kuno. Leka obudde bwo obw’okusoma Baibuli busukkulume ku mulimo gwabulijjo gw’olina okutuukiriza. Leka bubeere obudde bw’omala n’omuntu, mukwano gwo gweweeyongera okumanya ebuziba ennyo nga bwakuyisa mu mpapula z’entegeka n’endagiriro z’obuntu Bwe.

Mukama yeebazibwe.

YONGERA OSOME: Yokana 1-14, Abaebbulaniya 4:12-13

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okufuuka omuyigirizwa w’Ekigambo, oteekeddwa okutegeera nti Ekigambo, muntu. Leka obudde bwo obw’okusoma Baibuli bubeere obudde bw’omala n’omuntu, mukwano gwo gweweeyongera okumanya ebuziba ennyo nga bwakuyisa mu mpapula z’entegeka n’endagiriro z’obuntu Bwe.

ESSAALA: Kitange, nkwebaza ku lw’okumanya kuno. Newaayo eri ennono n’ebilagiro byo. Mmanyi nti Ekigambo ye Ggwe ddala, era nsoma ebyawandiikibwa mu kutegeera kuno. Nga bweneyongera okukolagana Naawe, ontwala ebuziba mu ntegeera y’Obuntu Bwo.
Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

KWIGISHWA N’IJAMBO – 1

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Timotewo 3:5,7 bafite ishusho yo kwera ariko bahakana imbaraga zako. Abameze batyo ujye ubatera umugongo…bahora biga ariko ntabwo babasha kugira ubwo bamenya ukuri.

Hari itandukaniro hagati yo kuba umunyeshuri w’ijambo n’umwigishwa w’ijambo. Umunyeshuri ashobora kumenya ibyanditswe, akamenya amateka yabyo, akanamenya icyo bisobanuye ndetse n’icyo bivuze mu kigiriki n’igiheburayo.

Nago ari ikintu kibi kumenya ibi bintu ariko kubimenya ntibivuze ko uwo muntu azi Imana. Bishobora kuvuga gusa ko ufite amakuru menshi kuri bibiliya ntakindi.

Niba icyo umuntu afite ari amakuru menshi kuri bibiliya, bibiliya mu cyanditswe twifashishije ivuga ko bene uwo, ahora yiga ariko ntabashe kugera ku kumenya ukuri.

Ku rundi ruhande, umwigishwa w’ijambo agandukira ijambo akanaryemerera kutamwigisha gusa ahubwo n’imbaraga zaryo gukorera muri we. Iyo umwigishwa w’ijambo yiga ibyanditswe, ntago aba agwiza amakuru, ubuzima bw’ijambo bugaragara mu bintu byose avuga ndetse akora.

Kuba umwigishwa w’ijambo, ugomba gusobanukirwa ko ijambo ari umuntu(Yohana 1:14). Ntago ari ikoraniro ry’ibitabo 66 ryuzuye inkuru zinezeza umuntu.

Abanyeshuri b’ijambo baburira mu bitangaza byaryo bakarata umuntu w’ijambo.

Nk’umuntu, ijambo rirabaza ndetse rikanasubiza ibibazo, irabona, irumva, iragerageza ndetse ikanavuga ku byiyumviro n’ibyemeza umuntu.

Rero, ubutaha nufungura bibiliya, ugomba kumenya ibi bintu: urebera mu maso yayo, wumvira mu matwi yayo; urumva iyo ivuga; usobanukirwa uko imeze?

Iki nicyo kikuganisha mu busabane n’ijambo. Ndetse, uko iteye nibyo bituma ijambo ryayo riba umwuka n’ukuri (Yohana 6:63).

Itoreze muri uku gusobanukirwa. Reka kwiga bibiliya kwawe kurenge inshingano ugomba gukora. Reka bibe igihe umarana n’umuntu, inshuti ugenda umenya byimbitse uko ikujyana mu ma paje ikwerekeza ndetse ikwereka uko iteye.

Hallelujah!

IBINDI BYANDITSWE:
Yohana 1-14, Abaheburayo 4:12-13

ICYO WAKURAMO:
Kuba umwigishwa w’ijambo, ugomba gusobanukirwa ko ijambo ari umuntu. Reka kwiga bibiliya kwawe kurenge inshingano ugomba gukora. Reka bibe igihe umarana n’umuntu, inshuti ugenda umenya byimbitse uko ikujyana mu ma paje ikwerekeza ndetse ikwereka uko iteye.

ISENGESHO:
Data, ngushimiye ubu bwenge. Ngandukiye intambwe n’amabwiriza byawe. Nziko uri ijambo kansi niga ibyanditswe muri uku gusobanukirwa. Uko nkomeza kubana nawe, unjyana imuhengeri nkamenya uwo uriwe. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen

做”道“的门徒

使徒卢贝加

提摩太后书3：5，7（和合本）
5节：有敬虔的外貌，却背了敬虔的实意，这等人你要躲开。
7节：常常学习，终久不能明白真道。

作为“道”的学生和“道”的门徒是有区别的。学生可能知道经文，了解他们的历史背景，甚至知道他们的希伯来语和希腊语语音和音译。

知道这些事情不是件坏事，但了解它们并不是人认识上帝的保证。它可能只相当于有很多关于圣经的信息， 没有别的。

如果一个人只有大量有关圣经的信息，我们的主题经文说，这样的人，他或她曾经学习，但从来没有来了解真理。

另一方面，“道”的门徒顺服“道”，他们看它并非教条，而是他们允许“道”的大能透过他们来做工。当“道”的门徒研读经文时，他不只是收集信息，“道”的生命通过他所说的和做的每件事来表现。

要成为“道”的门徒，你必须明白“道”是一个人格存在（约翰福音1：14）。
祂不是66卷书集合而成充满了幻想和比较有趣的故事。

“道”的学生常常迷失在“道”的哲思中，并遗失了祂自己。

作为一个人格的存在，“道”会发问和回答问题，他会看，听，品尝和交流感觉和意念。

所以，下次你打开圣经时，你必须意识到这些事情：你透过祂的眼睛看了吗？你通过祂的耳朵听了吗？他说话时你有听到吗？你明白祂的感受吗？

这引导你建立与“道”的关系。事实上，祂就是灵就是生命（约翰福音6：63）。

操练自己这样理解。让你的圣经学习时间不仅仅是一个表面的责任，勾选一个列表。让它与一个人，一个你更深刻地了解的朋友一起度过，因为祂会带你翻阅祂属性的蓝图和手册。

哈利路亚！

进深学习： 约翰福音1：14，希伯来书4：12-13

要领： 要成为“道”的门徒，你必须明白“道”是一个人格存在。让你的圣经学习时间与一个人相处，一个你更深入地了解的朋友，因为祂会带你翻阅祂属性的蓝图和手册。

祈祷: 天父，我为你的这些指教而感恩。我降服于你的律例和典章。我知道了道 就是你的本体，我学习圣经是基于这个认识，当我继续与你相交时，你让我更深的认识你！
奉主耶稣基督的名，阿门。
