Romans 1:1 (NKJV); Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God.

Paul speaks of himself as a bondservant of God.

This was not forced servanthood but rather he was arrested by love.

In Philippians 3:12, he says, “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.”

The state of being apprehended by Christ Jesus was not forced but rather, it was the invitation of agape.

The question to you child of God is, what has invited you to service? Do you serve out of a sense of duty? Do you serve because you were commanded to by a man or woman of God? Do you serve because love has invited you into service?

The things we do for the sake of the gospel are not out of a mere sense of obligation. In Hebrews 6:10, the Bible refers to them as “a labour of love.”

Love is what invites us into service. Love is what avails the grace for us to persevere when the going gets tough. Love is what produces endurance when our human will falters and seeks to give up.

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 5:14 (MSG), Hebrews 6:10.

GOLDEN NUGGET: Love is what invites us into service. Love is what avails the grace for us to persevere when the going gets tough. Love is what produces endurance when our human will falters and seeks to give up.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this truth. I thank You for the invitations of the Spirit and for the greatest of all invitations which is the invitation of love. This knowledge redefines my heart of service. I do not serve merely out of duty but because Your unending and relentless love causes me to spend and be spent for the sake of the gospel. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

OKUYITIBWA OKWAGALA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Abaruumi 1:1 (NKJV); Pawulo, omuddu wa Yesu Kristo, eyayitibwa okuba omutume, eyayawulirwa enjiri ya Katonda.

Pawulo yeeyogerako ng’omuddu wa Katonda.

Buno tebwali buddu bwa buwaze naye yawaririzibwa okwagala.

Mu Abafiripi 3:12, agamba, “Si kugamba nti mmaze okuweebwa oba nti mmaze okutuukirizibwa: naye ngoberera era ndyoke nkikwate ekyo kye yankwatira Kristo Yesu.”

Embeera ey’okukwatibwa Kristo Yesu teyali nkake wabula, kwali kuyitibwa kwa kwagala kwa Katonda.

Ekibuuzo eri ggwe omwana wa Katonda kiri nti, kiki ekikuyise eri obuweereza? Oweereza kubanga olina okutuukiriza omulimu? Oweereza kubanga walagiddwa omusajja oba omukazi wa Katonda? Oweereza kubanga oyitiddwa okwagala mu buweereza?

Ebintu bye tukola ku lw’enjiri tebiri ku kuwulira buwulizi nga gwe kikakatako. Mu Abaebbulaniya 6:10, Baibuli ebyogerako nga “omulimu ogw’okwagala.”

Okwagala kwe kutuyita mu buweereza. Okwagala kwe kututeerawo ekisa okuguma ng’embeera yeeyongera okukaluba. Okwagala kwe kuleeta okulemerako ng’okwagala kwaffe okw’obuntu kuyuugayuuga era nga kwagala okuwanika.

Alleluya!

YONGERA OSOME: 2 Abbakolinso 5:14 (MSG), Abaebbulaniya 6:10.

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okwagala kwe kutuyita mu buweereza. Okwagala kwe kututeerawo ekisa okuguma ng’embeera yeeyongera okukaluba. Okwagala kwe kuleeta okulemerako ng’okwagala kwaffe okw’obuntu kuyuugayuuga era nga kwagala okuwanika.

ESSAALA: Kitange, Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Nkwebaza ku lw’okuyitibwa okw’omwoyo era n’olwokuyitibwa okusinga okuyitibwa kwonna, nga kwe kuyitibwa okw’okwagala. Okumanya kuno kunnyonnyola buggya omutima gwange ogw’obuweereza. Ssiweereza buweereza olw’okuba mulimu naye kubanga okwagala kwo okutakoma era okutawanika kundeetera okuwaayo era n’okuweebwayo ku lw’enjiri. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

OKWEETWA RUKUNDO

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Abarooma 1:1 (NKJV); Nyowe Paulo, omuhuuku wa Yesu Kristo, nkeetwa kuba entumwa, naashoroorerwa engiri ya Ruhanga.

Paulo nayegambaho nk’omuhuuku wa Yesu Kristo.

Obu bukaba butari obuhuuku bugyemirwe kureka akaba akwatsirwe rukundo.

Omu kitabo ky’Abafilipi 3:12, nagira ati, “Tindikugira ngu mperize kukitunga, nari shi ngu mperize kuhikiirizibwa; kwonka ningumizamu, ngu naanye nkwate ekyo eki Kristo Yesu yankwatiire.”

Okukwaatwa Yesu oku kukaba kutagyemirwe kureka, kukaba kuri okweetwa kwa Rukundo ya Ruhanga.

Ekibuuzo kyaawe mwana wa Ruhanga we n’eki, Niki ekikwetsire omu buheereza? Noheereza kuhikiiriza omukoro? Noheereza ahabw’okuba okaragiirwa omushaija narishi omukazi wa Ruhanga? Noheereza ahabw’okuba rukundo ekwetsire omu buheereza?

Ebintu ebiturikukora ahabw’engiri tiby’okuhikiiriza omukoro kwonka. Omu kitabo ky’Abaheburaayo 6:10, Baiburi nebyeeta “emirimo ya rukondo.”

Rukundo niyo erikutweeta omu buheereza. Rukundo niyo erikutuheereza embabazi z’okwemera kuturikugumirwa omu rugyendo. Rukundo niyo erikureeta okugumisiriza obu okukunda kwaitu okw’obuntu kurikuremwa kandi kukenda kuhwa amatsiko.

Hallelujah!

SHOMA NEEBI: 2 Abakorinso 5:14 (MSG), Abaheburaayo 6:10.

EZAABU: Rukundo niyo erikutweeta omu buheereza. Rukundo niyo erikutuheereza embabazi z’okwemera kuturikugumirwa omu rugyendo. Rukundo niyo erikureeta okugumisiriza obu okukunda kwaitu okw’obuntu kurikuremwa kandi kukenda kuhwa amatsiko.

OKUSHABA: Taata omukundwa, Ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. Ninkusiima ahabw’okweetwa kw’Omwoyo hamwe n’okweetwa kwa rukundo okurikukirayo obukuru omu kweetwa kwoona. Okumanya oku nikushemeza omutima gwangye gw’okuheereza. Tindikuheereza kuhikiiriza omukoro kureka rukundo yaawe etaine bugarukiro kandi etarikuhwaho n’endeetera kuhayo ebyangye kandi nanye nk’ehayo ahabw’engiri. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.

KUALIKA KWA UPENDO

Mtume Grace Lubega

Warumi 1:1 (NKJV); Paulo, mtumwa wa Kristo Yesu, aliyeitwa kuwa mtume, na kutengwa aihubiri Injili ya Mungu;

Paulo anajizungumzia kama mtumwa wa Mungu.

Hii haikuwa utumwa wa kulazimishwa lakini badala yake alikamatwa na upendo.

Katika Wafilipi 3:12, anasema, “Si kwamba nimekwisha kufika, au nimekwisha kuwa mkamilifu; la! Bali nakaza mwendo ili nipate kulishika lile ambalo kwa ajili yake nimeshikwa na Kristo Yesu.”

Hali ya kukamatwa na Kristo Yesu haikulazimishwa bali, ilikuwa mwaliko wa ‘agape’.

Swali kwako mwana wa Mungu ni, ni nini ambacho kimekualika kwa utumishi? Je! Unatumikia kwa sababu ya wajibu? Je! Unatumikia kwa sababu uliamriwa na mwanamume au mwanamke wa Mungu? Je! Unatumikia kwa sababu upendo umekualika katika huduma?

Vitu tunavyofanya kwa ajili ya injili sio kwa sababu tu ya wajibu. Katika Waebrania 6:10, Biblia inaviita “kazi ya upendo.”

Upendo ndio unatualika katika huduma. Upendo ndio unatoa neema kwetu kuvumilia wakati hali inapokuwa ngumu. Upendo ndio huleta uvumilivu wakati utu wetu utakapoyumba na kutaka kukata tamaa.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 2 Wakorintho 5:14 (MSG), Waebrania 6:10.

UJUMBE MKUU: Upendo ndio unatualika katika huduma. Upendo ndio unatoa neema kwetu kuvumilia wakati hali inakuwa ngumu. Upendo ndio huleta uvumilivu wakati utu wetu utakapoyumba na kutaka kukata tamaa.

SALA: Baba, Nakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Ninakushukuru kwa mialiko ya Roho na kwa mwaliko kubwa kuliko yote ambayo ni mwaliko wa upendo. Ujuzi huu unafafanua moyo wangu wa huduma. Situmikii tu kwa sababu ya wajibu lakini kwa sababu upendo wako usiokoma na usiosita unanisababishia kutumia na kutumika kwa ajili ya injili. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
