The Phaneroo Devotion: Endurance, A Christian Virtue
Apostle Grace Lubega
Jeremiah 12:5(KJV); If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
One day, the Prophet Jeremiah was in distress. He puzzled over life and why some things were the way they were. He asked the Lord, “Why do the wicked prosper, why are they happy those who deal treacherously?” He complained about how God had planted evil men and how they had taken root (Jeremiah 12:1-3).
One would have thought that God in His unending mercy and compassion would have patted Jeremiah on the back and consoled him.
No. God’s response to all of this is in our theme scripture. He said, “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?”
Sometimes, this is how God deals with us when we are faced with affliction and adversity. He is not about to wrap you in a fluffy blanket and dance to the tune of your ceaseless whining.
The fires that blaze through the lives of Christians are a “when experience” and not an “if” experience, they will surely come (Isaiah 43:2).
If you cannot handle what you are going through at the moment, how will you manage when greater troubles come? If the affliction of the moment is seeming like the end of the world to you, how will you survive a furnace of persecution?
Square your shoulders, lift your head up and face it all like a good soldier. Have Paul’s attitude to pain and say that these are but light afflictions – small potatoes.
It doesn’t matter how big the problem seems. Don’t be intimidated. You are not the kind that is wearied by footmen for you do not only run with horses but you run faster than horses.
Face that mountain and tell it, “Who are you thou great mountain before me?” Tell your spirit that there is nothing you cannot handle.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Zechariah 4:7, 2 Corinthians 4:17
GOLDEN NUGGET: It doesn’t matter how big the problem seems. Don’t be intimidated. You are not the kind that is wearied by footmen, you do not only run with horses but you run faster than horses.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I receive it and walk in boldness to face whatever circumstances are before me.
Your strength in me has given me victory over the storms of life. To the glory of Your name, Amen.

Yeremiya 12:5 Oba ng’oddukidde wamu n’abatambula n’ebigere ne bakukooyesa, kale oyinza otya okuwakana n’embalaasi? era newankubadde nga weegolodde mu nsi ey’emirembe, naye olikola otya mu malala ga Yoludaani?
Olunaku lumu, Nabbi Yeremiya yali mu kutabulwa, ng’asobeddwa eri obulamu nga yeebuza lwaki ebintu ebimu byalinga bwe byali. N’abuuza Mukama, ” ekkubo ery’ababi lirabira ki omukisa? batereerera ki abo bonna abalimbalimba ennyo?” Yeemulugunya ku ngeri ki Katonda gyeyabasimba, weewaawo nga abasimbye n’emmizi.(Yeremiya 12:1-3)
Omuntu omu yandirowoozeza nti Katonda mu kisa kye ekitakoma era n’okusaasira, yandikubyeekubye Yeremiya ku mugongo n’amuzaamu ku maanyi.
Nedda. Ennyanukula ya Katonda mu bino byonna eri mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe eky’omutwe gwa lero. Yagamba bwati, ” Oba ng’oddukidde wamu n’abatambula n’ebigere ne bakukooyesa, kale oyinza otya okuwakana n’embalaasi? era newankubadde nga weegolodde mu nsi ey’emirembe, naye olikola otya mu malala ga Yoludaani?”
Ebiseera ebimu, bwati Katonda bwatukwasaganya bwetuba nga tusisinkanye okubonaabona era n’obusambattuko. Ssi wa kkukuzinga mu kikunta ekiweweevu newankubadde okuzinira ku ntoli z’okwemulugunyaakwo.
Omuliro abakrisitaayo gwe bayitamu mu bulamu bwabwe gwa nsonga ya “gunajja ddi” sso ssi nsonga ya “oba gunajja”, kikakafu nti gujja kujja (Isaaya 43:2).
Bwoba nga tosobola kugumira ekyo ky’oyitamu akaseera kano, on’omalako otya ng’emitawaana egisingawo jizze? Bwekuba nga okubonaabona kw’akaseera kulabika ng’enkomerero y’ensi gy’oli, on’osimattuka otya ekikoomi ky’okuyigganyizibwa?
Situla ebibegaabega byo, yimusa omutwe gwo era obyeŋŋange byonna nga omujaasi omulungi. Beera n’endowooza ng’eya Paulo eri obulumi era ogambe nti bino biri naye kubonaabona okutazitowa – temuli kantu.
Ssi nsonga butya ekizibu bwe kirabika mu bunene. Totiisibwatiisibwa.Tolinga abo abakooyesebwa ab’ebigere kubanga todduka na mbalaasi kyokka wabula odduka n’okuzisinga.

OKUGUMISIRIZA, EMICWE Y’OBUKRISTAYO
Entumwa Grace Lubega
Yeremia 12:5
Ku oraabe wairukire n’ab’amaguru, bakakurusya, Noobaasa ota kuhakana n’embaraasi? Ku oraabe nooremwa ori omu nsi y’obusingye, Oryagira ota omu bishaka bya Yorudani ebikwataine
Omurundi gumwe, nabi Yeremia akaba aine obusaasi. Akateganisibwa omu magara yatangara ahabwenki ebintu ebimwe bikaba nk’oku byabaire biri. Akabuuza Ruhanga, ati ahabwenki ababi bahiirwa omu mihanda yaabo, ahabwenki endeebya zoona ziba gye? Akatongana oku Ruhanga yabyaire ababi n’okubatsimbire emizi (Yeremia 12:1-3).
Omuntu akaba naija kuteekateeka ngu Ruhanga n’embabazi ze ezitahwaho akaba naija kuhumuriza Yeremia.
Ngaha. Okugarukamu kwa Ruhanga ahari ebi byona n’omutwe gw’ebyahandikirwe byaitu. Akagira ati, ku oraabe wairukire n’ab’amaguru, bakakurusya, noobaasa ota kuhakana n’embaraasi? Ku oraabe nooremwa ori omu nsi y’obusingye, oryagira ota omu bishaka bya Yorudani ebikwataine?
Obumwe, oku nikwo Ruhanga arikutwaaza naitwe kuturikuba nitubonabonesibwa nari twaine obusaasi. Tarikuza kukuta omu burangiti rero akakora kurigirira okurira kwaawe.
Emyororo erikwaaka aha bakristayo “n’eyebibarikurabamu ebya ryari” bitari “kubakubirabamu”, buzimazima nibyaija kwija (Isaaya 43:2).
Waba otarikubaasa eki oriyo norabamu obwiire obu, noza kubaasa ota ku haraije ebihango? Okubonabonesibwa okw’obwiire obu kukuraabe nikureebeka nk’omuheru gw’ensi, noza kuhona ota omuriro gw’okuhiigwa?
Teereza amabega gaawe, imutsya omutwe gwaawe obireebe byona nk’omusirikare murungi. Gira enteekateeka ya Paulo y’obusaasi ogire oti obu n’obusaasi bukye- obumonde bukye.
Tinshonga ekizibu oku kirikwingana. Otatiina. Tori muntu orikuruhibwa ab’amaguru ahabw’okuba torikwiruka n’embaarasi zonka kureka nozitsiga.
Reeba orushozi orugambire oti, “Ori oha iwe rushozi rw’amaani we ori omu maisho gangye? Gambira omwoyo waawe ngu tihaine ki otarikubaasa.
Hallelujah!

KWIHANGANA, INDANGA GACIRO YA GIKRISTO
Apostle Grace Lubega
Yeremiya 12:5 Niba warasiganywe n’abagenza amaguru bakagusiga unaniwe, wabasha ute gusiganwa n’amafarashi? Kandi naho umerewe neza mu gihugu cy’amahoro, Yorodani niyuzura uzagenza ute?
Umunsi umwe, umuhanuzi Yeremiya ntiyari ameze neza. Yibajije iby’ubuzima n’impamvu ki ibintu bimwe byari uko biri. Abaza Imana, “Mpamvu ki umunyabyaha ahirwa mu nzira ze, no kuba umuriganya agubwa neza?” Atonganira nuko Imana yabateye bagashora imizi(Yeremiya 1:2-3).
Umuntu umwe yakwibwira ko Imana mu mbabazi n’impuhwe zayo nyinshi yafashe Yeremiya ku gitugu ikamuhumuriza.
Oya. Ibyo Imana yamusubije ku byerekerane n’ibyo yabajije mu cyanditswe twifashishije. Yaravuze ngo, “Niba warasiganywe n’abagenza amaguru bakagusiga unaniwe, wabasha ute gusiganwa n’amafarashi? Kandi naho umerewe neza mu gihugu cy’amahoro, Yorodani niyuzura uzagenza ute?
Rimwe na rimwe ni uku Imana idufata iyo turi mu bitubabaza n’ibiduhinyuza. Ntago igufata ngo iguhoze hanyuma igendere mu bihe urimo byo kurira.
Umuriro waka mu buzima bw’abakristo ni “uw’ibihe runaka” nago ari uw’ibihe “bishobora kuba”, bizaza ntakabuza. (Yesaya 43:2).
Niba udashobora guhangana nibyo unyuramo ubu, ni gute uzashobora ibikomeye nibiza? Niba imibabaro y’iki gihe ikumereye nkaho isi irangiye, uzarokoka ute itanura ryo kugambanirwa?
Ramburura ibitugu, zamura umutwe uhangane nabyo nk’umusirikare. Mera nk’uko Pawulo yafataga akababaro uvuge ko ari ukubabazwa kw’igihwayihwayi kwa none.
Uko ikibazo cyaba kingana kose. Ntugire ubwoba. Ntago uri ubwoko buterwa ubwoba n’ibigenda byose kuko utirukanka n’indogobe gusa ahubwo unazisiga.
Reba uwo musozi uwubwire ngo, “Wa musozi we uri imbere yanjye wiyita iki?” Bwira umwuka wawe ko ntakintu na kimwe utahangana nacyo.

基督徒的美德——忍耐
使徒卢贝加
耶利米书12：5（和合本）:耶和华说:“你若与步行的人同跑，尚且觉累，怎能与马赛跑呢？你在平安之地虽然安稳，在约旦河边的从林要怎样行呢？”
有一天，先知耶利米遇窘境了。他对生活感到困惑，为什么有些事情是这样。他问主，为什么恶人要兴旺发达，为什么，那些背信弃义的人有安逸？他抱怨上帝是如何栽培邪恶的人，以及他们如何生根（耶利米12：1-3）。
人们以为上帝在他无尽的怜悯和同情中会拍拍耶利米的背部， 安慰他。
不。上帝对这一切的反应，在我们的主题经文中。他说，你若与步行的人同跑，尚且觉累，怎能与马赛跑呢？你在平安之地虽然安稳，在约旦河边的从林要怎样行呢？
有时候，当我们面对痛苦和逆境时，神就是这样对待我们的。他不会把你裹在蓬松的毯子里， 随着你不停地发牢骚的曲调蹦跳。
圣经上讲在基督徒的生活中经历火的考验是过去时，文中假设的对象是经历的内容，而不是假设经验与否，事实上它们一定会来（以赛亚书43：2）。
如果你不能处理你正在经历的，当更大的麻烦来时，你将如何处理？如果此刻的痛苦似乎就像世界的尽头，你将如何在迫害的熔炉中幸存下来？
挺起你的肩膀，抬起你的头，面对这一切像一个好士兵。有保罗对痛苦的态度，并说，这些只是轻的痛苦 -——小问题。问题看起来有多大并不重要。不要被吓倒！你不是那种与步行的人同跑尚且觉累的人，因为你不仅和马一起跑，而且跑得比马还快。
面对那座山，并且告诉它，你是谁，你伟大的山在我之前？对你的心说，没有什么你不能面对。
哈利路亚！
进深学习：撒迦利亚书 4：7， 哥林多后书 4：17
要领：问题看起来有多大并不重要。不要被吓倒！你不是那种与步行的人同跑尚且觉累的人，因为你不仅和马一起跑，而且跑得比马还快。
祷告 天父，感谢你的话语。我接受它，大胆地面对我面前的任何情况。你在我里面的力量给我带来超越生命风暴的得胜。奉你荣耀的名， 阿门。
