Apostle Grace Lubega

Jonah 1:1-3 (KJV); Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

Every instruction of God comes with a degree of His presence. His presence is what gives us the grace and ability to do what He instructs us to.

In our theme scripture, the Bible reveals that Jonah received an instruction from God to go to Nineveh. Because Jonah did not want to perform this instruction, he fled.

In fleeing, he did not merely flee from God but from His presence because that instruction came with a degree of the Lord’s presence.

It is no wonder that every time men move in the opposite direction of divine instruction, they struggle, suffer frustration, and sometimes even die.

Samson grew up with the divine instruction never to cut off his hair because it was the source of his strength (Judges 16:17). His obedience to this instruction was the basis of the presence of God that functioned in his life. When He disobeyed, the Bible says in Judges 16:20, that the Lord departed from Him.

As a new Testament believer, you have been sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). The presence of God can never depart from you. However, every time you disobey divine instruction, you frustrate the function of the Holy Spirit and His presence in your life.

Ask yourself the question, “How seriously do you take divine instruction?” It may come through a dream, a conviction, or from a spiritual authority. Do you merely brush it off?

No matter how seemingly minor the instruction may be, discipline yourself to diligently and quickly respond. As you do, you will continually be positioned for success.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Samuel 28:17-19, Proverbs 4:13

GOLDEN NUGGET: Every instruction of God comes with a degree of His presence. His presence is what gives us the grace and ability to do what He instructs us to.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this knowledge. My heart is attentive to Your voice and Your instructions. I respond with diligence because I deeply honour Your desires. In this wisdom, I grow, increase and impact many, to the glory of Your name, Amen.

EBIKWATA KU BIRAGIRO BYA KATONDA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Yona 1:1-3 (KJV); Awo ekigambo kya Mukama kyajja eri Yona, omwana wa Amittayi, nga kyogera nti Golokoka, ogende e Nineeve ekibuga ekyo ekinene okirangirire; kubanga obubi bwabwe bulinnye butuuse mu maaso gange. Naye Yona n’agolokoka okuddukira e Talusiisi okuva mu maaso ga Mukama; n’aserengeta e Yopa n’alaba ekyombo nga kigenda e Talusiisi; awo n’abawa empooza yaakyo n’asaabala omwo agende nabo e Talusiisi ave mu maaso ga Mukama.

Buli kiragiro kya Katonda kijja n’eddaala ly’okubeerawo kwe. Okubeerawo kwe kwe kutuwa ekisa n’obusobozi okukola ebyo by’atulagira okukola.

Mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, Baibuli ebikkula nti Yona yafuna ekiragiro okuva eri Katonda okugenda e Nineevi. Olw’okuba Yona yali tayagala kukola kiragiro kino, yadduka.

Mu kudduka, teyadduka buddusi Katonda naye n’okubeerawo Kwe kubanga ekiragiro ekyo kyajja n’eddaala ery’okubeerawo kwa Mukama.

Tekyewuunyisa nti abantu buli lwe bajeemera ekiragiro kya Katonda, balafuubana, balaba okulemererwa era olumu bafa.

Samusooni yakula n’ekiragiro kya Katonda obutasalanga nviiri ze kubanga zaali nsibuko y’amaanyi ge (Ekyabalamuzi 16:17). Okugondera kwe okw’ekiragiro kino yali nsonga lwaki okubeerawo kwa Katonda kwakoleranga mu bulamu bwe. Bwe yajeema, Baibuli egamba mu (Ekyabalamuzi 16:20) Mukama Yamuleka.

Ng’omukkiriza ow’endagaano empya, oteekeddwako akabonero ak’Omwoyo Omutukuvu (Abaefeeso 1:13). Okubeerawo kwa Katonda tekusobola kukuvaako. Naye, buli lw’ojeemera ekiragiro kya Katonda, otaataaganya okukola kw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu n’okubeerawo kwe mu bulamu bwo.

Weebuuze ekibuuzo kino, “Ddala ekiragiro kya Katonda okitwala nga kikulu kyenkana ki?” Kiyinza okujjira mu kirooto, okulumiriza oba okuva eri omukulembeze ow’omwoyo. Okireka bulessi ne kiyitawo?

Ssi nsonga oba ekiragiro kifaanana kitya ng’ekitali kikulu, weemanyiize okunyiikira era n’okwanguwanga okwanukula. Ng’okola bwotyo, ojja kuteekebwanga mu bifo bulijjo ebinakuleetera okubeera omuwanguzi.

YONGERA OSOME: 1 Samwiri 28:17-19, Engero 4:13

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Buli kiragiro kya Katonda kijja n’eddaala ly’okubeerawo kwe. Okubeerawo kwe kwe kutuwa ekisa n’obusobozi okukola ebyo by’atulagira okukola.

EBIKWATIRAINE N’OBUHABUZI BWA RUHANGA

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Yona 1:1-3 (KJV); Ekigambo kya MUKAMA kikaija ahari Yona mwene Amitai, nikigira kiti: Imuka, oze Nineeve, orurembo orwo ruhango, orurangire ebirirubaho; ahabw’okuba obubi bwarwo buhikire omu maisho gangye. Kwonka Yona yaimuka kuhungira MUKAMA Tarushiishi, yaashuuma Yoopa, yaashangayo emeeri erikuza Tarushiishi; yaaha empiiha z’okumutwara, yaaza omu meeri kugyenda nabo Tarushiishi, ngu ahungye MUKAMA.

Buri buhabuzi bwa Ruhanga nibwiija n’orurengo rw’okubaho kwe. Okubaho kwe nikwo kurikutuha embabazi n’amaani g’okukora ebi ari kuturagiirira kukora.

Omu mutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu, Baiburi neshuuruura ngu Yona akatuunga obuhabuzi kuruga owa Ruhanga, obwokuza Nineeve. Ahabw’okugira ngu Yona akaba atarikwenda kuhikiiriza obuhabuzi obu, akahunga.

Omu kuhunga, tarahungire Mukama kwonka, kureka akahunga n’okubaho kwe ahabw’okuba obuhabuzi obu bukaija n’orurengo rw’okubaho kwa Mukama.

Tikirikutangaaza ngu abantu, ku barikugyendera omu muhanda ogutari gw’obuhabuzi bwa Ruhanga, nibategana, bareeba enaku kandi obumwe n’okufa bafa.

Samusooni akakura n’endagiiriro y’obwa Ruhanga ey’okutasharaho eishokye rye ahabw’okuba amaani gye niho gaabaire nigaruga (Abaramuzi 16:17). Okworobera obuhabuzi obu nikwo kwaretsire okubaho kwa Ruhanga okwabaire nikukorera omu magara gye. Kuyajeemire, Baiburi, omu kitabo ky’Abaramuzi 16:20 negira ngu, Mukama akamurigaho.

Nk’omwikiriza ow’endagaano ensya, ohamiibwe Omwoyo orikweera (Abaefeeso 1:13). Okubaho kwa Mukama tikurikubaasa kukurugaho. Kwonka, buri bu orikujeemera obuhabuzi bwa Ruhanga, n’oremesa omurimo gw’Omwoyo orikwera n’okubaho kwe omu magara gaawe.

Yebuuze ekibuuzo eki, “Obuhabuzi bwa Ruhanga nobutwaara ota?” Nibubaasa kwizira omu kirooto, omu kushinjwa ningashi omu muntu oine obushoboorozi bw’omwoyo ahariiwe. N’obyesaasira kwonka obura kubitaho omutima?

N’obu obuhabuzi obwo bwakuba nibureebeka nk’obutari bukuru, gira omucwe gw’okurahuka kubworobera n’obweziriki. Waaba nokora otyo, noija kuba nooza omu muhanda gw’obusinguzi.

SHOMA NEEBI: 1 Samueli 28:17-19, Enfumu 4:13

EZAABU: Buri buhabuzi bwa Ruhanga nibwiija n’orurengo rw’okubaho kwe. Okubaho kwe nikwo kurikutuha embabazi n’amaani g’okukora ebi ari kuturagiirira kukora.

OKUSHABA: Taata omukundwa, Ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. Omutima gwangye gwetegire kuhurira eiraka ryaawe n’obuhabuzi bwaawe. Nimbyorobera n’obweziriki ahabw’okuba ebyeteengo byaawe nimbiha ekitiinisa kingi. Omu bwengye obu, ninkura, ninkanyisa kandi nimpweera baingi, ahabw’ekitiinisa ky’eiziina ryaawe, Amiina.
