Apostle Grace Lubega

Proverbs 25:6-7 (KJV); Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

It is expedient for every Christian to understand how to relate with greatness. This is important because God has appointed people from whom we are to learn and grow.

One of the principles of relating with greatness is revealed in our theme scripture. The Bible cautions us not to put forth ourselves in the presence of a king. The message version of the scripture says, “Don’t work yourself into the spotlight.”

Thus, one of the biggest mistakes one can make in relating with greatness is to invite themselves into the spaces of great men.

The Message version goes on to say, “it is better to be promoted to a place of honour than face humiliation by being demoted.”

The prophet Daniel, a wise man, in whom was an excellent spirit, lived by this pattern. When God revealed to Daniel the secret of king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, Daniel did not pompously present himself to the king with his answer. The Bible says he spoke to the captain of the king’s guard, Arioch, who opened the door for him to speak with the king (Daniel 2:24-25).

A man shuts the doors of opportunity when he deliberately invites himself into the place of greatness. In Proverbs 18:16, the Bible says that a man’s gift makes room for him. Let your talent, gift, or craft pave the way for you.

If the doors are still shut, perhaps your craft requires more work. Make the decision to invest in yourself, grow your abilities, and multiply your strengths. It will only be a matter of time. The doors shall open. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Daniel 2:24-25, Genesis 41:9-16

GOLDEN NUGGET: A man shuts the doors of opportunity when he deliberately invites himself into the place of greatness. If the doors are still shut, perhaps your craft requires more work. Make the decision to invest in yourself, grow your abilities, and multiply your strengths. It will only be a matter of time. The doors shall open.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this truth. The Spirit of humility is at work in me. It is what opens doors for my sake. By wisdom, I never invite myself into the places of greatness. I am instructed and directed by You. As such, You open doors for me and You invite me into my God-ordained opportunities, to the glory of Your name, Amen.

OKWANIRIZIBWA OBUSUKKULUMU

Omutume Grace Lubega

Engero 25:6-7 (KJV); Teweekuza mu maaso ga kabaka, So toyimiriranga mu kifo eky’abakulu: Kubanga waakiri bakugambe nti Yambuka wano; N’otossibwa wansi mu maaso g’omulangira, Amaaso go gwe galabye.

Kya mugaso eri buli mukristaayo okutegeera engeri gy’akolaganamu n’obusukkulumu. Kino kya mugaso kubanga Katonda atuwadde abantu be tulina okuyigirako ne tukukula.

Emu ku nnono z’okukolagana n’obusukkulumu ebikkuddwa mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo. Baibuli etulabula obuteeteekawo mu kubeerawo kwa Kabaka. Enzivuunula Ya Baibuli eya Message ey’ekyawandiikibwa ekyo egamba, “Tokolerera kweteeka mu bitaala.”

N’olwekyo, emu ku nsobi ezisinga obunene omu gy’ayinza okukola mu nkolagana n’obusukkulumu kwe kweyaniriza mu bifo by’abantu abasukkulumu.

Enzivuunula ya Baibuli eya Message eyongera okugamba,  “Kisingako okukuzibwa mu kifo eky’ekitiibwa okusinga okusisinkana okunyoomoolwa ng’ossibwa wansi.”

Nnabbi Danyeri, omusajja omugezi, eyalimu omwoyo ogutuukiridde, yatambulira ku nkola eno. Katonda bwe yabikkulira Danyeri ekyama eky’ekirooto kya Kabaka Nebukaduneeza, Danyeri teyeeteekawo mangu ago eri kabaka n’ekyokuddamu kye. Baibuli egamba yayogera n’omukulu w’abakuumi ba kabaka, Aliyooki, eyamuggulirawo oluggi okwogerako ne kabaka (Danyeri 2:24-25).

Omuntu aggalawo enzigi z’omukisa bwe yeeyaniriza mu bugenderevu mu kifo eky’obusukkulumu. Mu Engero 18:16, Baibuli egamba nti ekirabo eky’omuntu kimuseguliza okumukolera ekisenge. Leka ekitone kyo, ekirabo oba obukugu bwo bukukolere ekkubo.

Enzigi bwe ziba zikyali nsibe, osanga obukugu bwo bwetaagisa okubangula. Salawo okwesigamu, okukuza obusobozi bwo, era n’okukubisaamu amaanyi ggo. Kajja kuba kaseera mpaawo kaaga. Enzigi zijja kweggula. Alleluya!

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Omuntu aggalawo enzigi z’omukisa bwe yeeyaniriza mu bugenderevu mu kifo eky’obusukkulumu. Enzigi bwe ziba zikyali nsibe, osanga obukugu bwo bwetaagisa okubangula. Salawo okwesigamu, okukuza obusobozi bwo, era n’okukubisaamu amaanyi ggo. Kajja kuba kaseera mpaawo kaaga. Enzigi zijja kweggula.

N’olwekyo, Onzigulirawo enzigi era n’ompita mu mikisa egyanteekerwateekerwa Katonda, ku lw’ekitiibwa eky’erinnya Lyo, Amiina.

OKWEETWA OBUKURU

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Enfumu 25:6-7 (KJV); Otaryekuza omu maisho g’omugabe, Kandi otaryemerera omu mwanya gw’abakuru; Ahakuba ekirungi n’okwetwa ngu, Garuka aha! Okukira okugarurwa enyima omu maisho g’omugabe naakureeba.

Nikikuru buri mukristaayo kwetegyereza oku ashemereire kukoragana n’obukuru. Nikikuru ahabw’okuba Ruhanga ataireho abantu abu tushemereire kwegyeraho n’okukura.

Emwe aha ngyenderwaho ezikwatiraine n’obukuru neyorekwa omu mutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu. Baiburi netuhabura ngu tuteekuza omu maisho g’omugabe. Envunurura ya Baiburi eya ‘Message’ negira ngu, “Otaryeeta omu mwanya gw’okureebwa.”

Nahabw’ekyo, emwe aha nshobi zirikukirayo ezi omuntu arikubaasa kukora omu kukoragana n’obukuru n’okweeyeta omu myanya y’abantu abakuru.

Envunurura ya ‘Message’ neyeyongyera kugira ngu, “Ekirungi n’okukutunguura barikukuta omu mwanya gw’ekitiinisa okukira kukushwaaza barikukugaruza enyima.”

Nabi Danieli, omushaija w’obwengye, owabaire aine omwoyo murungi omuriwe, akaba nakuratira engyenderwaho egi. Ruhanga ku yashuururiire Danieli ekihama ky’ekirooto kya omugabe Nebukadineeza, Danieli tarayereetsire n’okwemanya omu maisho g’omugabe n’ekigambo kye. Baiburi negira ngu akagamba n’omukuru w’abarinzi b’omugabe, Arioki, owamwiguraire orwiigi kugamba n’omugabe (Danieli 2:24-25)

Omuntu nakinga enyigi z’omugisha ku arikweyeta omu mwanya gw’obukuru. Omu kitabo ky’Enfumu 18:16, Baiburi negira ngu ekiconco ky’omuntu kimuhaisa omwanya. Reka etalanta yaawe, ekiconco kyaawe narishi obukugu bwaawe bibe nibyo byakukorera omuhanda.

Enyigi zaaba zikikingire, okashanga obukugu bwaawe nibwetenga omurimo gurikukiraho. Sharamu kwekoramu omurimo, kuza ebi orikubaasa kukora kandi okanyise amaani gaawe. Nikiija kutwaara obwiire bukye. Enyigi nizaija kwiiguka. Hallelujah!

Nimpaburwa kandi ninyebemberwa iwe. Ahabw’ekyo, nonyigurira enyigi kandi onyeta omu migisha ey’obwa Ruhanga, ahabw’ekitiinisa ky’eiziina Ryaawe, Amiina.

KURALIZIBWA OBUKURU

Enfumo 25:6-7 (KJV); Okutekuza wenka omu maiso gomukama, Kunu oleke kyeme’ra omukiikaro kyabasaija abakuru: Baitu hakire bakugambire ngu Temba hanu: Okukira okubundazibwa omu maiso gomukuru, ouwaboine namaiso gawe.

Kisemeriire buli mukristayo kwetegereza omulingo gw’okukoragana nobukuru. Kinu ky’omugaso habwokuba Ruhanga ateireho abantu abatwine kurorraho nukwo tukule.

Emu ha ngiga ez’okukoragana nobukuru esu’kwirwe omu kyahandikirwe kyaitu ekya hamutwe. Baibuli n’etutererra obut’ehikya omu maiso g’omukama. Empindura ey’obukwenda eye kyahandikirwe kinu egamba, “Ot’etuma omu kyererezi.”

Habw’obulyo bunu, emu h’ansobi enkooto omuntu ez’asobora kukora omunkoragana nobukuru kuli kwereeta omumyanya y’abakuru.

Empindura ey’obukwenda eyeyongera n’egamba, “Kisemera obu oimukibwa kugya omukiikaro eky’ekitinisa okukira okuswazibwa n’ogarurwa hansi.”

Danieri omuraangi, omusaija owamagezi, omuliwe hakaba harumu omwoyo gw’okusemera, akome’ra omunkora egi. Ruhanga obu yasuukuliire Danieri ensita ey’ekirooto kyo’mukama Nebukadeneza, Danieri ate’hembe omu maiso gomukama nekigarukwamu kye. Baibuli egamba akabaza nengabwa eyabalinzi bomukama, Aryoki, ayamukingulire orwigi nukwo we abaze nomukama (Danieri 2:24-25).

Omuntu akinga enyigi z’omugisa obwacwamu okwehikya omukiikaro kyo’bukuru. Om’unfumo 18:16, Baibuli egamba ngu ekisembo ky’omuntu kimuhaisa omwanya. Leka talanta, ekisembo rundi okuheesa kwawe bikutemere omuhanda.
