Apostle Grace Lubega

Proverbs 13:20 (KJV); He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Association is a powerful force. It moulds character, aligns or destroys destinies and defines a man’s future.

In describing the power of association, the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:33, that bad company corrupts good morals. On the other hand, our theme scripture reveals that when you walk with the wise, you shall be wise.

The Hebrew word, “haw-lak” for walk is translated to mean among other things, “follow, be conversant with or exercise.”

How often do you follow what wise men do? If a man is a success in a certain area of his life, have you made an effort to imitate his habits?

Success, child of God, always leaves clues. So are you conversant with the mannerisms of those that have gone ahead of you in a particular field?

Do you exercise yourself in the ways of these men and women? If they are habitual readers, are you? If they value hard work, do you? If they are diligent and consistent givers, are you? If they are persistent seekers of God, what is the state of your closet?

In the arena of association, there is the wisdom of de-association, limited association and expanded association. Our theme scripture points to the wisdom of expanded association.

If you seek to grow in a specific area of your life and know someone who is thriving in it, pay the price to relate with them continually because some impartations require a daily relationship.

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 6:14, 1 Corinthians 15:33

GOLDEN NUGGET: If you seek to grow in a specific area of your life and know someone who is thriving in it, pay the price to relate with them continually because some impartations require a daily relationship.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I understand the wisdom of association. It defines relationships in every area of my life. Thank You for opening doors to men and women that build and add value to me. For my sake, you open doors to men and women that I thought were inaccessible. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Omutume Grace Lubega

Engero 13:20 (KJV); Otambulanga n’abantu ab’amagezi, naawe oliba n’amagezi: Naye munnaabwe w’abasirusiru alibalagalwa.

Enkolagana maanyi mazito nnyo. Gabumba enneeyisa, gatereeza oba gasanyaawo amagenda era galambika ebiseera by’omuntu eby’omumaaso.

Mu kunnyonnyola amaanyi g’enkolagana, Baibuli egamba mu 1 Abakkolinso 15:33, nti Okukwana n’ababi kwonoona empisa ennungi. Ku luuyi olulala, ekyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo kibikkula nti bw’otambulanga n’abantu ab’amagezi, naawe oliba n’amagezi.

Ekigambo ky’olwEbbulaniya, “haw-lak” ekitegeeza okutambula kivvuunulwa okutegeeza ebintu bingi nga mu byo mwe muli, “okugoberera, okumanya ekintu obulingi oba okwetendeka.”

Mirundi emeka gy’ogoberera abantu abagezi bye bakola? Omuntu bw’aba omuwanguzi mu kitundu ekimu eky’obulamu bwe, ossizaayo amaanyi okugoberera eky’okulabirako ky’empisa ze?

Obuwanguzi, mwana wa Katonda, buleka emikululo. N’olwekyo, oli mumanyirivu n’empisa z’abo abagenze mu maaso go mu kitundu ky’obulamu ekimu?

Weetendeka mu makubo g’abasajja era n’abakazi bano? Bwe baba nga basomi entakera, oli musomi? Bwe baba nga bassaamu ekitiibwa okukola n’amaanyi, okola n’amaanyi? Bwe baba nga bagabi abanyiikivu era abatalekaayo, oli mugabi? Bwe baba nga banyiikivu mu kunoonya Katonda, ekisenge kyo eky’okusaba kiri kitya?

Mu kisaawe ky’enkolagana, eriyo amagezi ag’okwesalako, okukendeeza enkolagana era n’okugaziya enkolagana. Ekyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo kisonga ku magezi g’enkolagana egaziyiziddwa.

Bw’oba ng’onoonya okukula mu kitundu ekimu mu bulamu bwo era ng’omanyi omuntu atambulira mu buwanguzi mu kyo, sasula omutango ogw’okukolagana nabo obutakoma kubanga okufuna ebintu eby’omwoyo okumu kwetaaga enkolagana eya buli lunaku.

YONGERA OSOME: 2 Abakkolinso 6:14, 1 Abakkolinso 15:33

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Bw’oba ng’onoonya okukula mu kitundu ekimu mu bulamu bwo era ng’omanyi omuntu atambulira mu buwanguzi mu kyo, sasula omutango ogw’okukolagana nabo obutakoma kubanga okufuna ebintu eby’omwoyo okumu kwetaaga enkolagana eya buli lunaku.

ESSAALA: Kitange, Nkwebaza olw’Ekigambo kino. Ntegeera amagezi g’enkolagana. Gannyonnyola enkolagana mu buli kitundu ky’obulamu bwange. Weebale okunzigulirawo enziji eri abasajja n’abakazi abazimba era abannyongerako omuwendo. Ku lwange, onzigulirawo enziji eri abasajja era n’abakazi be nnalowooza nti tebatuukibwako. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

AMAANI G’OKUKWATANISA – 1

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Enfumu 13:20 (KJV); Ogyenda n’abanyabwengye, nawe ahinduka omunyabwengye, Kwonka mugyenzi w’abashema aryakizira.

Okukwatanisa n’amaani garikuremeera. Nigabumba emitwarize, gatereeza amagyenda ninga gagacwekyereza kandi gashoboorora ebiro by’omuntu eby’omumaisho.

Omu kushoboorora amaani g’okukwatanisa, Baiburi netugambira omu kitabo kya 1 Abakorinso 15:33, ngu ekigombe kibi kishiisha emicwe mirungi. Aha rubaju orundi, omutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu nigutworeka ngu ku ogyenda n’abanyabwengye, ohinduka omunyabwengye.

Ekigambo ky’oruheburaayo, “haw-lak” ekyavuniriirwe nka “okugyenda” nakyo nikimanyisa ebintu ebindi nka, “okukuratira, okumanyiira ninga shi okumanyiiza.”

Ni ryaari obu orikukuratira ebi abanyabwengye bakora? Omuntu yaaba ari omusinguzi omu kicweeka kimwe eky’amagara gye, oragyerizeho kukuratira emicwe ye?

Obusinguzi, mwana wa Ruhanga we, nibutsiga enyima ebirikutuhabura. Mbwenu shi oyemanyiirize emitwarize y’abantu abakwebembeire omu bicweeka bimwe na bimwe?

Noyemanyiiza omu mitwarize y’abashaija n’abakazi aba? Baaba baine omucwe gw’okushoma, naiwe nikwo ori? Baaba nibakunda kukora n’amaani, naiwe n’okunda kukora otyo? Baaba bari abagabi n’obweziriki kandi ab’obutoosha, naiwe nikwo ori? Baaba nibasherura Ruhanga obutoosha, amagara gaawe ag’okushaba garigata?

Omu rurengo rw’okukwatanisa, harimu obwengye bw’okwihaho enkwatanisa, okukwatanisa okurainganaire hamwe n’okukwatanisa okwireireyo. Omutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu nigugamba aha kukwatanisa okwireireyo.

Waaba noyenda kukura omu bicweeka bimwe na bimwe omu magara gaawe kandi ori kumanya omuntu ori kugyendera omu businguzi omu bicweeka ebyo, shashura omuhendo kukwatanisa nabo obutoosha ahabw’okuba okutunga ebintu ebimwe by’omwoyo nikweteenga enkwatanisa eya buri eizooba.

SHOMA NEEBI: 2 Abakorinso 6:14, 1 Abakorinso 15:33

EZAABU: Waaba noyenda kukura omu bicweeka bimwe na bimwe omu magara gaawe kandi ori kumanya omuntu ori kugyendera omu businguzi omu bicweeka ebyo, shashura omuhendo kukwatanisa nabo obutoosha ahabw’okuba okutunga ebintu ebimwe by’omwoyo nikweteenga enkwatanisa eya buri eizooba.

OKUSHABA: Taata, Ninkusiima ahabw’Ekigambo eki. Ninyetegyereza obwengye bw’okukwatanisa. Nibushoboorora emikago omu bicweeka byoona eby’amagara gangye. Webare kwigurira enyigi abashaija n’abakazi abari kunyombeka kandi bakanyongeraho. Ahabwangye,  noigura enyigi ezirikumpitsya aha bashaija n’abakazi abu nabaire ndikuteekateeka ngu tibarikuhikwa. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.

NGUVU YA CHAMA – 1

Mtume Grace Lubega

Mithali 13:20 (KJV); Enenda pamoja na wenye hekima, nawe utakuwa na hekima; Bali rafiki wa wapumbavu ataumia.

Chama ni nguvu kubwa. Huunda tabia, huweka sawa au kuharibu hatima na kufafanua hali ya baadaye ya mtu.

Katika kuelezea nguvu ya chama, Biblia inasema katika 1 Wakorintho 15:33, kuwa mazungumzo mabaya huharibu tabia njema. Kwa upande mwingine, andiko letu kuu linafunua kwamba unapoenenda pamoja na wenye hekima, nawe utakuwa na hekima.

Neno la Kiebrania, “haw-lak” kwa kutembea linatafsiriwa kumaanisha, kati ya mambo mengine, “kufuata, kuwa na ujuzi wa au kufanya mazoezi.”

Je! Ni mara ngapi wewe hufuata kile ambacho watu wenye busara hufanya? Ikiwa mtu amefanikiwa katika eneo fulani la maisha yake, je! Umejitahidi kuiga tabia zake?

Mafanikio, mtoto wa Mungu, huacha dalili kila wakati. Kwa hivyo unajua tabia ya wale ambao wameenda mbele yako katika uwanja fulani?

Je! Wewe hujizoesha kwa njia ya hawa wanaume na wanawake? Ikiwa wao ni wasomaji wa kawaida, je wewe? Ikiwa wanathamini kufanya bidii, je wewe! Ikiwa wao ni watoaji wenye bidii na wenye msimamo, je wewe! Ikiwa ni watafutaji wa Mungu wa kila mara, hali yako chumbani ikoje?

Katika uwanja wa ushirika, kuna hekima ya kujitenga, ushirika ulio na mkomo na ushirika ulio pana. Andiko letu kuu linaonyesha hekima ya ushirika ulio pana.

Ikiwa unatafuta kukua katika eneo maalum la maisha yako na kujua mtu anayefanikiwa ndani yake, lipa gharama ya kuhusishwa nao kila wakati kwa sababu sehemu zingine zinahitaji uhusiano wa kila siku.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 2 Wakorintho 6:14, 1 Wakorintho 15:33.

UJUMBE MKUU: Ikiwa unatafuta kukua katika eneo maalum la maisha yako na kujua mtu anayefanikiwa ndani yake, lipa gharama ya kuhusishwa nao kila wakati kwa sababu sehemu zingine zinahitaji uhusiano wa kila siku.

SALA: Baba, nakushukuru kwa Neno hili. Ninaelewa hekima ya ushirika. Inafafanua mahusiano katika kila eneo la maisha yangu. Asante kwa kufungua milango kwa wanaume na wanawake ambao hunijenga na kuniongezea thamani. Kwa ajili yangu, unafungua milango kwa wanaume na wanawake ambao nilidhani hawawezi kufikika. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

MAANI GHA KUKOLANGANA – 1

Mukwenda Grace Lubega

Nsimo 13:20 (KJV); Oghu akubungagha nabantu bagheji akufooka mugheji. Bhaitu kibula kya badoma kikuwelekelela.

Kukolangana nikintu kya maani. Kukutuhaagha ngeso, kwo ngukuta mukihanda kedha kwite bilo byawe byo mumaiso.

Ntusobolola maani gha kukolangana, Baibuli ekighambagha my 1 Bakolinto 15:33 eti, “Kuukala na bantu abali na ngeso sibhi kikulekagha nʼesyawe sibhiiya.” Alubaju lunji my ekyahandikuuwe kyatu kikulu Kikwoleka ngu nuwabungiye nabagheji okufooka mugheji.

Kighambo kya lu’hebbulayo “haw-lak” Kya kulubatanga kukumanyisia ngu mubuli kintu kyona, okwamwe, wetegheleliye kedha okikolaghe buli kilo.

Ni milundi engaa eghi okukolagha eki bantu bagheji bakukolagha? Muntu akakubha ali musinguji mukichweka kimui mubwomili buwe, watayemu maani kukola ngoku akukolagha?

Businghuji, mwana waluhanga, milundi ekaniye bukutighagha Kyokuloleloho. Buuye omanyise engeso na miliye ya bantu abakuli mumaaso mu kichweka kimui na kimui mubwomili bwawe?

Buuye naawe okukolagha ebi basasa na bakali bani bakukolagha buli kilo? Bakakuba bali namuliye ghwa kusoma bitabo buli kilo, naawe nukuwo oli? Bakakuba bali bakoli, naawe oli mukoli? Bakakuba batayoo ku̱lu̱ na nkokolo mukughaba, naawe nukuwo oli? Bakakuba bali basabi, naawe buuye oli musabe?

Mu mwanya ghwa kukolangana, haliyo magheji gha kweiya-munkolangana, Kukehiya-nkolangana na kubhatikaniya-nkolangana. Ekyahandikuuwe ekikulu nubuwo kyabughoo haa kubhatikaniya nkolangana.

Okakuba nobala kukula mukichweka kimui mu bwomili bwawe Kandi omanyiye muntu musinguji mukichweka eki, okole kyo ekikusoboka kukolangana naye buli kilo nanga kweegheesi̱ya nga kuni kukwetaghisibuwa nkolangana ya buli kilo.

OTODHE OSOME: 2 Bakolinto 6:14, 1 Bakolinto 15:33.

KASUSI KA FEZZA: Okakuba nobala kukula mukichweka kimui mu bwomili bwawe Kandi omanyiye muntu musinguji mukichweka eki, okole kyo ekikusoboka kukolangana naye buli kilo nanga kweegheesi̱ya nga kuni kukwetaghisibuwa nkolangana ya buli kilo.

NSAALA: Tita, webale habwe kighambo kini. Netegheleeye magheji gha kukolangana. Nubuwo gha semeliya kubhootwana buli kichweka kya bwomili bwanje. Webale kulugha njighi sya basasa nabakali abakunkwela nakunyongheloho. Haabwanje, nubuwo wanjighuliloo njighi sya basasa Abanabaagha mmanyiye nti batimbikaane kuhikoho. Muliina lya Yesu, Amiina.
