Apostle Grace Lubega

Philippians 2:5-8(KJV); Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

When Christ humbled Himself to death on the cross, He humbled Himself to the purpose that God had for His life.

In fact, in the Garden of Gethsemane, we witness a painful battle between the will of the flesh and divine purpose. Christ had faced the ridicule of the Pharisees and lived above it, He had endured the unbelief of men in his hometown and prevailed but in this critical moment of purpose, it occurred to Him to give up. He said, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me.”

However, He bent to purpose and said, “Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”(Luke 22:42).

Kathryn Khulman, the great evangelist, when speaking of the price of the gospel and the call of God upon her life said, “It will cost you everything.”

Some people come to the gospel to amass wealth and material substance. They do not understand that the gospel is the arena in which we lose it all, spend and are ourselves spent(2 Corinthians 12:15).

It takes humility to understand the true price of ministry and even greater humility to be able to pay that price.

The gospel will cost you your friends and cost you your family. It will cost you money and will cost you strength. It will cost you your dignity and it will cost you your social status. Paul said in Phillipians 3:8, “I count ALL things but loss…” It was not some things, half of the things or some select areas of His life. It was ALL things!

If you truly must serve God and be used by Him, understand the price. The price is everything!

FURTHER STUDY: Luke 14:26-33, 2 Corinthians 12:15

GOLDEN NUGGET: It takes humility to understand the true price of ministry and even greater humility to be able to pay that price. The price is everything!

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for Your Word. I thank You for Your call upon my life and for the path that You have set before me. Teach me Lord and use me for Your purposes. I am available and I am committed to the great cause of the gospel. Where You send me I will surely go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

OKWETOOWAZA ERI EKIGENDERERWA I

Omutume Grace Lubega

Abafiripi 2:5-8(KJV); Mmwe mubeerengamu okulowooza kuli, era okwali mu Kristo Yesu; oyo bwe yasooka, okubeera mu kifaananyi kya Katonda, teyalowooza kintu ekyegombebwa okwenkanankana ne Katonda, naye yeggyako ekitiibwa, bwe yatwala engeri y’omuddu, n’abeera mu kifaananyi ky’abantu; era bwe yalabikira mu mutindo ogw’obuntu, ne yeetoowaza, nga muwulize okutuusa okufa, era okufa okw’oku musalaba.

Kristo bwe yeetoowaza okutuusa ku kufa ku musaalaba, Yeetoowaza eri ekigendererwa Katonda kye yalina eri obulamu bwe.

Mu butuufu, mu Lusuku lwa Gesusemane, tujulira olutalo olw’obulumi wakati w’okwagala kw’omubiri n’ekigendererwa ky’obwakatonda. Kristo yali asisinkanye okujeregebwa kw’Abafalisaayo era yali nga akuwangudde, Yagumira obutakkiriza bw’abantu mu kibuga mwe yazaalibwa era n’akuwangula naye mu kifo kino eky’enkizo eky’ekigendererwa, yalowooza ku kuwanika. Yagamba, “Kitange, bw’oba ng’oyagala, nzijaako ekikompe kino.”

Wabula, yagondera ekigendererwa n’agamba “Naye si nga Nze bwe njagala, wabula ky’oyagala, kye kiba kikolebwa.”(Lukka 22:42)

Kathryn Khulman, Omubuulizi w’enjiri ow’amaanyi, bwe yali ng’ayogera ku muwendo gw’enjiri n’okuyitibwa okwa Katonda ku bulamu bwe, yagamba, “Kujja kkutwalira buli kintu.”

Abantu abamu bajja mu njiri ku kunηηanya bugagga n’ebintu ebirabika. Tebategeera nti enjiri ky’ekifo mwe tufiirwa byonna, mwe tuweerayo era mwe tweweerayo ffe nga ffe(2 Abakkolinso 12:15).

Kyetaagisa obuwombeefu okusobola okutegeera omuwendo ogwannamaddala ogw’obuweereza era n’obuwombeefu obusingako awo okusobola okusasula omuwendo ogwo.

Enjiri ejja ku kujjisaako mikwano gyo era ekujjiseeko n’abennyumba yo. Ejja kkutwalira ssente era ekutwalire n’amaanyi. Ejja kujjisaako ekitiibwa kyo era ekujjiseeko n’ekifo kyo mu bantu. Paulo yagamba mu Abafiripi3:8, “Ebintu byonna nabirowooza nga okufiirwa…” Tebyali bintu bimu, kitundu ky’ebintu oba ebitundu ebirondemu eby’obulamu bwe. Byali bintu BYONNA!

Bw’oba ng’oli wakuweereza Katonda mu mazima wamu n’okukozesebwa Ye, tegeera omuwendo. Omuwendo gwe byonna!

YONGERA OSOME: Lukka14:26-33, 2 Abakkolinso 12:15

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Kyetaagisa obuwombeefu okusobola okutegeera omuwendo ogwannamaddala ogw’obuweereza era n’obuwombeefu obusingako awo okusobola okusasula omuwendo ogwo. Omuwendo gwe byonna!

ESSAALA: Kitange, nkwebaza olw’Ekigambo kyo. Nkwebaza olw’okuyitibwa kwo ku bulamu bwange era n’ekkubo ly’ontegekedde mu maaso. Nsomesa Mukama era nkozesa olw’ebigendererwa byo. Wendi era newaddeyo eri ekigendererwa ky’enjiri. Gy’onantuma, ddala gye nagenda. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

OKWECUREEREZA EKIGYENDERERWA KYA RUHANGA I

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Abafilipi 2:5-8 Mugire omutima guri ogwabaire guri omuri Kristo Yesu. Ogwo, n’obu araabe yaabaire ari omu muringo gwa Ruhanga, tarateekateekire okwingana na Ruhanga ku kiri ekintu eki ashemereire kugumya; kureka akeeyihaho ekitiinisa, yaikiriza kuhinduka nk’omuhuuku, yaazaarwa omu muringo gw’abantu; ku yaareebirwe ari omu muringo gw’omuntu, yaayecureeza, yaayoroba okuhika aha kufa, kandi okufa okw’aha musharaba.

Kristo kuyayecureerize akoorobera okufa aha musharaba, akecureereza ekigyendererwa eki Ruhanga yabaire aine ahabw’amagara gye.

Nangwa, omu musiri gwa Gesesemaane, nitureeba omugamba gurikusaasa ahagati y’okukunda kw’omubiri n’ekigyendererwa kya Ruhanga. Kristo akahigwa Abafarisaayo kandi yaguma ari ahaiguru yaabo, akagumisiririza obutaikiriza bw’abantu omu kibuga kye kwonka omu bwiire obwo bubi obw’ekigyendererwa kya Ruhanga, akabirigaho. Yaagira ati, Taata, ku oraabe noikiriza, onyiheho ekikopo eki.”

Kwonka, akoorobera ekigyendererwa kya Ruhanga yaagira ati kwonka kirekye kuba nk’oku ndikwenda, kureka nka Iwe oku orikwenda.”(Luka 22:42).

Kathryn Khulman, omuburizi w’engiri mukuru, kuyabaire nagamba aha muhendo gw’engiri n’okweetwa kwa Ruhanga aha magara gye akagira ati, “Nikija kukutwaarira buri kimwe.”

Abantu abamwe nibaija omu ngiri kukanyisa obutungi n’ebintu by’ensi. Tibarikwetegyereza ngu engiri n’omwanya ogu turikubinagira kimwe byoona, tukahayo ebyaitu naitwe tukeehayo(2 Abakorinso 12:15).

Nikitwaara obucureezi kwetegyereza omuhendo gw’obuheereza oguhikire hamwe n’obucureezi ebirikukiraho kubaasika kushashura omuhendo ogwo.

Engiri naija kukunagisa banywani baawe hamwe n’abu ozairwe nabo. Naija kukunagisa empiiha hamwe n’amaani gaawe. Naija kukunagisa ekitiinisa kyaawe n’oku orikutwaaza omu bantu. Paulo akagira omu Abafilipi 3:8 ati, kandi buzima byona nimbibara nk’ebifiire…” Bikaba bitari ebintu ebimwe, ekicweeka ky’ebintu nari emyanya etorainwe ey’amagara gye. Bikaba biri ebintu BYOONA!

Waba oshemereire kuheereza Ruhanga buzima kandi akakukozesa, yetegyereza omuhendo. Omuhendo ni buri kimwe!

SHOMA NEEBI: Luka 14:26-33, 2 Abakorinso 12:15

EZAABU: Nikitwaara obucureezi kwetegyereza omuhendo gw’obuheereza oguhikire hamwe n’obucureezi ebirikukiraho kubaasika kushashura omuhendo ogwo. Omuhendo ni burikimwe!

OKUSHABA: Taata, ninkusiima ahabw’ekigambo kyaawe. Ninkusiima ahabw’okweeta kwaawe aha magara gangye hamwe n’ahabw’omuhanda ogu otaireho omu maisho gangye. Nyegyesa Ruhanga kandi onkozese ahabw’ebigyendererwa byaawe. Ndiho kandi nyeheireyo kuta omutima aha ngiri. Ahu orantsindikye ninza kuzayo buzima. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.

KWEBUNDAALIYA HA KIGHENDELELUWA I

Bafilipi 2:5-8 (KJV); Byeli̱li̱kano byanu bibe ngʼebi Ki̱li̱si̱to Yesu aabaagha nabiyo. Nankabha eye naabaagha kwonini ngoku Luhanga ali,kuba kuwe ngoku Luhanga ali, taaki̱li̱ye munu kukufuwʼo.Bhaatu akakyelekeesi̱ya, aabyaluwa nga bantu kandi aaba mu̱heeleli̱ya. Ti̱ amali̱ye kuba ngoku bantu baa bu̱li̱ kilo bakubaagha, eebundaali̱ya, kandi aadhootela Luhanga ku̱hi̱ki̱ya nankabha ku̱kwi̱la haa musalaba!

Obu Kristo eebundaaye nankabha kukwila haa musalaba, akeebundhaliya hali kighendeleluwa eki Luhanga ali alina haa bwoomili buwe. 

Mu majima, mu musili ghwa Getesemaani, tukubaagha baakaiso ba bulemu obwalibusaaliye munu hali kughonja kwa mubili na kighendeleluwa kya Luhanga. Kristo akagubha kusalila mu bighambo bya bafalisaayo, agumila butahikilija bwa bantu ba ewaabho bhaitu mu bwile bwa kighendeleluwa kya Luhanga, kitekelejo kya mwisa mu kyakubileka. Aghamba ati “Tita, nuwaabaaye osi̱i̱mi̱ye otaleka nimbona-bona ntiyo.”

Bhaitu,  akateeliya hali kighendeleluwa kya Luhanga, aghila ati “bhaatu kitaba ngoku si̱ye mbbali̱ye, kibe ngoku obbali̱ye” (Luka 22:42).

Kathryn Khulman, mukali wa maani oghu aalangililagha Makulu Ghasemeeye, obu abughaghaho nasuli ya mukulu ghasemeeye ghani na eki Luhanga aamubilikiliiye kukola akaghila ati ” kikukutwalaho buli kimuyi”. 

Bantu banji bakwisagha mumakulu ghasemeeye kuguudhala, tibakukengagha batj mu makulu ghasemeeye muni niiho tukufeluwagha buli kintu tweheelayo kimui kandi tuhayo koona aka tukali 2 (Bakolinto 12: 15). 

Kikutwalagha kwebundaaliya kwamaani kukenga nsasuli yoonini ya buheleliya, kandi kitwala kwebundaaliya kusayeho ala kughubha kusasula nsasuli eghi. 

Makulu ghasemeeye ghani ghakukusasuliya baabhotu, aboolughanda. Ghakukusasuliya sente syawe, maani ghawe. Ghakukusasuliya kitinisa kyawe na mubantu aba bulikilo. Paulo akabugha mu Bafilipi 3:8 ati “Majima, byona nkubibonagha bitali na mughaso obu nkubilengeesani̱yagha na bukulu bwamaani̱ bwa kumanya Ki̱li̱si̱to Yesu Mukama wanje. Nkaleka kwesigha kintu kinji kyona kunjuna, kandi naabighilamu ebitali na mughaso niikuwo niikale ninahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je kwonini Ki̱li̱si̱to”. 

Olakaba oli wakuheleliya Luhanga mu majima kandi akukoleesiye, okenge nsasula. Nsasula ni buli kintu!
