Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 7:33-35 (KJV); For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.

When it comes to divine wisdom and the things we must apply ourselves to, there is a hierarchy. The things of God always follow an order.

And the hierarchy is: the MESSAGE, the PRINCIPLES and the METHOD. The message is at the top of the pyramid of wisdom, then comes principles and then the methods.

Unfortunately, it is possible to get lost in the complexities of method and ignore the truth of the message.

There are people who simply cannot get past the preaching style of some preachers or how these men and women of God present themselves. As such, they are boxed in by their own opinions of how a man or woman of God should speak and disregard his or her message completely.

In the Bible, these kinds of men classified John the Baptist as demon possessed because he neither ate bread nor drank wine (Luke 7:33), thus ignoring his message of repentance. They placed Christ in another box marked gluttonous, winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners (Luke 7:34) and swept under the rug his message of the kingdom of God.

Before you criticise why a man of God speaks the way he speaks, walks the way he walks or dresses the way he dresses, start with the message. Is it aligned to biblical truth?

Before you judge the method, judge the message.

GOLDEN NUGGET: When it comes to divine wisdom and the things we must apply ourselves to, there is a hierarchy. And the order is: the MESSAGE, the PRINCIPLES and the METHOD.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I understand the order of the spirit and the things that must come first. I set my heart on the message, above principles and above methods. By this wisdom, I walk in tune with the patterns of the scriptures. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

EKY’OKUBANZA, OBUTUMWA

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Luka 7:33-35 (KJV); Ahakuba Yohaana Omubatizi akaija atarikurya mugaati, n’obu kwakuba okunywa viinyo; mwagira ngu, Ariho daimoni. Kwonka Omwana w’omuntu we ku yaizire naarya, kandi naanywa, mwagira ngu, Reeba omunyamururu kandi omusinzi, munywani w’abahooza n’abasiisi. Kwonka obwengye buhamibwa abaana baabwo boona ku buhikire.

Kukirikuhika aha bwengye bwa Ruhanga hamwe n’ebintu ebitushemereire kukoragana nabyo, hariho oku ebintu birikukuratana. Ebintu bya Ruhanga nibukuratira obuteeka butoosha.

Kandi obuteeka ni: OBUTUMWA, ENGYENDERWAHO HAMWE N’OMUHANDA GW’EBINTU. Obutumwa buri ahaiguru y’obwengye, rero hakurataho engyenderwaho bwanyima hakurataho okubirikukorwa.

Eky’obusaasi, kyoroobi kuburira omu muhanda gw’ebintu rero okeebwa amazima g’obutumwa.

Hariho abantu abatarikubaasa kuhingura oku ababurizi abamwe barikuburira nari abashaija nabakazi aba barikwetwaara. Ahabwekyo, beetoreirwe ebiteekateeko byaabo by’oku omushaija nari omukazi wa Ruhanga ashemereire kugamba kandi bakahakanisa obutumwa bwe.

Omu Baiburi, abantu nkaba bakagira ngu Yohaana Omubatizi akaba ariho daimoni ahabw’okuba akaija atarikurya mugaati, n’obu kwakuba okunywa viinyo (Luka 7:33), batyo bayanga obutumwa bwe bw’okweteisa. Bakeeta Kristo omunyamururu kandi omusinzi, munywani w’abahooza n’abasiisi (Luka 7:34) bahakanisa obutumwa bwe bw’obukama bwa Ruhanga.

Otakahakaniise omushaija wa Ruhanga kugamba nk’oku arikugamba, oku arikugyenda nari oku arikujwaara, tandika n’obutumwa. Bwiine akakwaate n’amazima ga Baiburi?

Otakacwiremu aha muhanda gw’ekintu, cwamu obutumwa.

SHOMA NEEBI: 1 Abakorinso 12:4-6, 1 Petero 4:10

EZAABU: Kukirikuhika aha bwengye bwa Ruhanga hamwe n’ebintu ebitushemereire kukoragana nabyo, hariho obuteeka. Kandi obuteeka ni: OBUTUMWA, ENGYENDERWAHO HAMWE N’OMUHANDA GW’EBINTU.

OKUSHABA: Taata Omukundwa, Ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. Ninyetegyereza obuteeka bw’amazima hamwe n’ebintu ebishemereire kubanza. Ninta omutima aha butumwa, okukira engyenderwaho hamwe n’omuhanda gw’ebintu. Ahabw’obwengye obu, ningyendera hamwe n’engyenderwaho z’ebyahandiikirwe. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.

OKUBANZA, OBUTUMWA

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Luka 7:33-35 (KJV); Baitu Yohana omubatizi akaija atarukulya omugati, nobukwakuba okunywa amarwa nainywe mugamba ngu Aloho omuzimu. Omwana womuntu akaija nalya nanywa, nainywe mugamba ngu Dora omuntu omukoizi, omutamizi enganjani yabazinisa nabasisi. Kandi amagezi gaihwaho omusango obwabana bago bona.

Obukihika ha magezi g’obwaruhanga hamu n’ebintu ebitusemeriire kukora, haroho amadaara. Ebintu bya Ruhanga bukya bukya bihondera amadaara.

Kinu nikyo kyokurorraho ky’amadaara ganu: OBUTUMWA, ENGIGA hamu N’EMIKORRE. Obutumwa buli hakasonsolya k’amagezi, nukwo hongereho engiga nukwo haijeho emikorre.

Eky’omugisa mubi, nikyanguha kuburra mubugumangani bw’emikorre kandi okagaya amazima g’obutumwa.

Haroho abatasobora kuhingura ha ntebeza yabatebezi abamu rundi nkoku abasaija n’abakazi ba Ruhanga banu beyoleka. Nkoku kiri, bakugirwa muntekereza zabo oku abasaija n’abakazi ba Ruhanga banu basemeriire kubaza kandi banga obutumwa bwabu bwoona.

Omu Baibuli, abasaija banu bakarora Yohana omubatiza nkogu owarumbirwe emizimu habwokuba tiyalyaga mugate nobukwakuba kunywa vinyo (Luka 7:33), nukwo batyo bagaya obutumwabwe obw’okwegarukamu. Bakateka Kristo omu kika ky’abomururu, abatamiizi kandi enganjani y’abanyamahanga n’abasisi (Luka 7:34) kandi badibya obutumwabwe obw’obukama bwa Ruhanga.

Otakadibize habwaki omusaija wa Ruhanga nabaza nkoku oku akubaza, narubata nkoku akurubata, najwara nkoku akujwara, tandika n’obutumwa. Bwemeriire mumazima aga Baibuli?

Otakalengere emikorre, lenga obutumwa.

KWANZA, UJUMBE

Mtume Grace Lubega

Luka 7:33-35 ( KJV); Kwa kuwa Yohana Mbatizaji alikuja, hali mkate wala hanywi divai, nanyi mwasema, Ana pepo. Mwana wa Adamu amekuja, anakula na kunywa; nanyi mwasema, Tazama, mlafi huyu, na mnywaji wa divai, rafiki wao watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi! Na hekima imejulikana kuwa ina haki kwa watoto wake wote. Mwanamke mwenye Dhambi Asamehewa.

Katika suala la hekima ya kimungu na mambo ambayo lazima tujishughulishe nayo, kuna utaratibu. Mambo ya Mungu siku zote hufuata utaratibu.

Utaratibu huu ni: UJUMBE, KANUNI na NJIA. Ujumbe uko juu ya piramidi ya hekima, kisha huja kanuni kisha mbinu.

Kwa bahati mbaya, inawezekana kupotea katika ugumu wa mbinu na kupuuza ukweli wa ujumbe.

Kuna watu ambao hawawezi kupita tu mtindo wa kuhubiri wa baadhi ya wahubiri au jinsi wanaume na wanawake hawa wa Mungu wanajitokeza. Kwa hivyo, wanawekwa ndani na maoni yao wenyewe ya jinsi mwanaume au mwanamke wa Mungu anapaswa kuongea na kupuuza ujumbe wake kabisa.

Katika Biblia, watu wa aina hii walimweka Yohana Mbatizaji kuwa mwenye pepo kwa sababu hakula mkate wala kunywa divai (Luka 7:33), hivyo basi kupuuza ujumbe wake wa toba. Walimweka Kristo katika sanduku lingine lililoandikwa mlafi, mnywaji wa divai, rafiki wa watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi (Luka 7:34) na kufagia chini ya zulia ujumbe wake wa ufalme wa Mungu.

Kabla ya kukosoa jinsi mtu wa Mungu huongea anavyoongea, hutembea au kuvaa jinsi anavyovaa anza na ujumbe. Je, inalingana na ukweli wa Biblia?

Kabla ya kuhukumu mbinu, anza na ujumbe.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 1 Wakorintho 12:4-6, 1 Petro 4:10

UJUMBE MKUU: Katika suala la hekima ya kimungu na mambo ambayo lazima tujishughulishe nayo, kuna utaratibu. Utaratibu huu ni: UJUMBE, KANUNI na NJIA.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Ninaelewa mpangilio wa roho na mambo ambayo lazima yatangulie. Ninaweka moyo wangu kwenye ujumbe, zaidi ya kanuni na zaidi ya mbinu. Kwa hekima hii, ninatembea kulingana na mifumo ya maandiko. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
