Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalm 131:1-2 (KJV); Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

A man with a weaned soul does not exercise himself in things that are too high for him. The message version of our theme scripture calls this meddling where one has no business.

One example of meddling where one has no business is judging a man based on his actions without understanding what God thinks about that man.

For example, if David was alive today and committed the kind of errors in judgment that he did by taking Uriah’s wife and arranging for his death (2 Samuel 11), there are those who would disqualify him and assume that even God does not want anything to do with him.

Such a matter is too high for you because you are not privy to the closet of that man. You may be criticising a man who has broken before God and begged for forgiveness. He may be condemned in your eyes yet still be the man after God’s own heart.

A weaned Christian has been dealt with in the ways of life and of the spirit. When I see believers who easily open their mouths to criticise another, I know that they have not been weaned.

A weaned soul knows the value of silence when there is undue pressure to speak. Such a man only speaks when he must because his spirit is too disciplined to be emotionally provoked into the errors of opinion-making.

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Samuel 11, 1 Thessalonians 4:11

GOLDEN NUGGET: A weaned Christian has been dealt with in the ways of life and of the spirit. Such a man only speaks when he must because his spirit is too disciplined to be emotionally provoked into the errors of opinion-making.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I know what You have called me to do. My path is set and my goal is clear. I can never be swayed by naysayers, I do not answer to critics. You have taught me not to judge men but to pray for them. This is the wisdom by which I live my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Omutume Grace Lubega

Zabbuli 131:1-2 (KJV); Mukama omutima gwange si gwa malala, newakubadde amaaso gange tegeegulumiza; So sitambulira mu bigambo ebikulu. Newakubadde mu bigambo eby’ekitalo ebinnema. Mazima ŋŋonzezza emmeeme yange, ngisirisizza; Ng’omwana avudde ku mabeere awali nnyina, N’emmeeme yange eri we ndi bw’etyo ng’omwana avudde ku mabeere.

Omuntu ow’emmeeme eggyiddwa ku mabeere tatambulira mu bintu ebiri waggulu ennyo era ebimusukkiriddeko. Enzivunula ya Baibuli eya Message ey’ekyawandiikibwa  kyaffe ekigguddewo ekiyita okweteeka mu bitamukwatako.

Eky’okulabirako ekimu eky’omuntu okweteeka mu bitamukwatako kwe kusalira omuntu omusango ng’osinziira ku bikolwa bye nga totegeera ki Katonda ky’alowooleza omuntu oyo.

Ensonga ng’eyo nnene nnyo ku ggwe kubanga tomanyi kyama kya mu kisenge ky’okusaba eky’omuntu oyo. Oyinza okuba onenya omuntu amenyese eri Katonda era n’asaba ekisonyiwo. Ayinza okuba asaliddwa omusango mu maaso go naye ng’akyali omuntu alina omutima gwa Katonda gwenyinni.

Omukristaayo aggyiddwa ku mabeere akwasaganyiziddwa mu ngeri z’obulamu era n’ezomwoyo. Bwe ndaba abakkiriza abanguwa okubikkula emimwa gyabwe okunenya omulala, mmanyi nti tebaggyiddwa ku mabeere.

Emmeeme eggyiddwa ku mabeere emanyi omugaso gw’okusirika bwe wabaawo obunkenke bw’okusindikirizibwa okwogera. Omuntu oyo ayogera we kyetaagisa wokka kubanga omwoyo gwe guyigiriziddwa nnyo nti tegusobola kuwulira kusoomoozebwa kwa kugwa mu nsobi z’okuwa ekirowoozo.

YONGERA OSOME: 2 Samwiri 11, 1 Abasessoloniika 4:11

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Omukristaayo aggyiddwa ku mabeere akwasaganyiziddwa mu ngeri z’obulamu era n’ezomwoyo. Omuntu oyo ayogera we kyetaagisa wokka kubanga omwoyo gwe guyigiriziddwa nnyo nti tegusobola kuwulira kusomoozebwa kwa kugwa mu nsobi z’okuwa ekirowoozo.

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Zaaburi 131:1-2 (KJV); Ai MUKAMA, omutima gwangye tigugira maryo, N’amaisho gangye tigeetenga by’ahaiguru, Kandi tiinyeta ha bikuru, n’obu byakuba eby’okutangaaza ebi ntarikubaasa. Buzimazima ncureize omutima gwangye, naaguhunamya, Nk’omwana ou nyina yaarembesereza, akamuha akabeere; Omutima gwangye guri nk’omwana owaarembeserezibwa.

Omuntu oine omutima gurembesereziibwe tarikweeta aha bintu by’ahaiguru ebi atarikubaasa. Envunurira ya ‘Message’ y’omutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu neyeta eki okwetasya omu bintu ebitakukwitseho.

Eky’okureberaho kimwe eky’okwetasya omu bintu ebitakukwitseho n’okucweera omuntu orubanja orikugyendera ahabikorwa bye otabandize kwetegyereza eki Ruhanga arikuteekateeka aha muntu ogwo.

Eky’okureeberaho, kurinogira ngu Daudi ariho erizooba kandi akakora ekika ky’enshobi nk’obu asharamu kutwaara omukazi wa Uriya kandi akatebekanisa okufa kwe (2 Samueli 11), hariho abo abakumucweera orubanja kandi bakateekateeka ngu na Ruhanga takimweenda.

Ekintu nkeekyo kiri ahaiguru yaawe munonga ahabw’okuba torikumanya bihama by’okushaba kw’omuntu ogwo. Nobaasa kuba oriyo nohakanisa omuntu ohendikire omu maisho ga Ruhanga kandi akamweshengyereza kumusaasira. Nabaasa kuba nacweerwa orubanja omu maisho gaawe kwonka agume ari omuntu oine omutima gwa Ruhanga.

Ruhanga naba akoragaine n’omukristayo orembesereziibwe omu mihanda y’amagara hamwe n’ey’omwoyo. Kundikureeba abaikiriza abarikurahuka kwigura akanwa kaabo kuhakanisa abandi, nimanya ngu tibarembesereziibwe.

Omutima ogurembesereziibwe nigumanya omuhendo gw’okuhunama kuharikuba hariho okugyemeserezibwa kwingi kugamba. Omuntu nk’ogwo nagamba obu ashemereire kugamba bwonka ahabw’okuba omyoyo we ahanirwe munonga okutagyemwa oku arikwehurira rero akakora enshobi y’okuhayo enteekateka ye.

SHOMA NEEBI: 2 Samueli 11, 1 Abatesalonika 4:11.

OKUSHABA: Taata Omukundwa, Ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. Nimanya eki onyeteire kukora. Omuhanda gwangye gutebekanisiibwe kandi ninyetegyereza ekinyezirikire.

EBY’OBWOMEZI OBUNYAKURUGIRE HA MABERE

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Zabul 131:1-2 (KJV); MUKAMA, omutima gwange tigurukwekunika, namaiso gange tigarukwenyumiza; Kunu tingendera omubigambo ebikuru, Nobuhokuba omu byamahano ebindema. Mananukwo nculize obwomezi bwange, mbwesizize; Nkomwana anyakurugire ha mabere hamu nanyina, Obwomezi bwange nubusisana nkomwana ayakurugire ha mabere.

Omuntu aine obwomezi obunyakurugire ha mabere tayetaba mu bintu ebiri haiguru muno nawe. Empindura y’obukwendwa ey’ekyahandikirwe kyaitu eky’ahamutwe kinu ekyeta okyetaba hali otaine emirimo.

Kimu ha ekyokurorraaho eky’okyetaba hali otaine emirimo kiri kusa’ra omuntu omusango nosigikira habikorwa otetegereize ekya Ruhanga Akutekereza ha muntu ogwo.

Ekyokurorraaho, kakuba Daudi abaire mwomezi hati kandi akakora ensobi z’omulingo ogwo mukusara omusango eziyakozire obuyatwaire omukazi wa Uliya hamu n’okutekaniza okufa kwe (2 Samuiri 11), haroho abakumusalizemu Kandi bakatekereza ngu obwo na Ruhanga Takwetaaga ekintu kyona hamu nawe.

Ensonga nke’gyo ekuli haiguru muno habw’okuba toina okumanya hali ekisiika ky’omuntu ogwo. Osobora kuba nokebera omuntu anyakucwekere hali Ruhanga kandi asabire okuganyirwa. Asobora kuba asalirwe omusango mu maiso gawe kandi kunu nakyali omuntu ali habw’omutima gwa Ruhanga gwonyini.

Omukristayo anyakurugire ha mabere akozirwe ho omu mihanda y’obwomezi hamu ney’omwoyo. Obundora abaikiriza abamara ga kingura eminwa yabu, okukebera ondi, nimanya tibakabaire kuruga ha mabere.

Obwomezi obunyakurugire ha mabere bumanya omuhendo gw’okuculera obuhaba haroho okuhambiriza okutahikire okubaza. Omuntu nk’ogu abaza buli aine kubaza habw’okuba omwoyo gwe kutekanizibwe muno kusobora kubihizibwa omu nyehuura kukora ensobi mu byo okukigambaho ki.

KUHUSU NAFSI ILIYOACHISHWA

Mtume Grace Lubega

Zaburi 131:1-2 (KJV); Bwana, moyo wangu hauna kiburi, Wala macho yangu hayainuki. Wala sijishughulishi na mambo makuu, Wala na mambo yashindayo nguvu zangu. Hakika nimeituliza nafsi yangu, Na kuinyamazisha. Kama mtoto aliyeachishwa, Ndivyo roho yangu ilivyo kwangu.

Mtu aliye na nafsi iliyoachishwa hajitumikii katika mambo ambayo ni ya juu sana kwake. Toleo la ‘message’ la andiko letu kuu linaita hii kuingilia ambapo mtu hana biashara.

Mfano mmoja wa kuingilia ambapo mtu hana biashara ni kumhukumu mtu kulingana na matendo yake bila kuelewa kile ambacho Mungu anafikiria kuhusu mtu huyo.

Kwa mfano, kama Daudi angekuwa hai leo na kufanya aina ya makosa katika hukumu ambayo alifanya kwa kumchukua mke wa Uria na kupanga kifo chake (2 Samweli 11), kuna wale ambao wangemkataa na kudhani kwamba hata Mungu hataki chochote kinachomhusu.

Jambo kama hilo ni juu sana kwako kwa sababu wewe si mtu wa karibu wa mtu huyo. Unaweza kumkosoa mtu ambaye amevunjika mbele za Mungu na kuomba msamaha. Anaweza kuhukumiwa machoni mwako lakini bado awe ni mtu anayeufuata moyo wa Mungu mwenyewe.

Mkristo aliyeachishwa ameshughulikiwa katika njia za maisha na roho. Ninapowaona waumini ambao hufungua midomo yao kwa urahisi kukosoa wengine, najua kwamba hawajaachishwa.

Roho iliyoachishwa inajua thamani ya kimya wakati kuna shinikizo lisilo la kweli la kuzungumza. Mtu kama huyo anaongea tu wakati ni lazima kwa sababu roho yake ina nidhamu zaidi ya kutochochewa kihisia kutoa maoni.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 2 Samweli 11, 1 Wathesalonike 4:11

UJUMBE MKUU: Mkristo aliyeachishwa ameshughulikiwa katika njia za maisha na roho. Mtu kama huyo anaongea tu wakati ni lazima kwa sababu roho yake ina nidhamu zaidi ya kutochochewa kihisia kutoa maoni.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Ninajua ni nini umeniita kufanya. Njia yangu imewekwa na lengo langu liko wazi. Siwezi kamwe kuondolewa njiani na wanaonena, sijibu wakosoaji. Umenifundisha sio kuwahukumu watu bali kuwaombea. Hii ndiyo hekima ambayo ninaishi kwayo maishani mwangu. Kwa jina la Yesu, Amina.
