Apostle Grace Lubega

Hebrews 11:1(KJV); Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

In Philosophy, there is an argument called Pascal’s wager, fronted by the French Philosopher Blaise Pascal.

Pascal’s wager proposes that humans should bet on the existence of God. In summary, what the argument states is that you should live your life as though there is a God because when you die and find that there is a God, you gain but if you find that there is no God, you lose nothing. In his very words, he says, “If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing.”

Fragments of Pascal’s wager are reflected in how some Christians live their lives today. Faith is a gamble and a game of chances. There is no absoluteness to their certainty in God and as such, their life of faith is a conviction of trials and errors. If it works, then good. If it doesn’t, too bad.

GOD IS TOO DELIBERATE TO LEAVE FAITH TO THE WHIMS OF CHANCE.

Because faith is a spiritual law, its spiritual weight gives it absoluteness.

This is why Christ paints this absoluteness by saying that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE for them that believe (Mark 9:23). This statement alone eliminates chances from the arena of faith.

Faith is a choice to believe to the end. The nature of faith, the choice, is explained in the message version of Hebrews 10:39. The Bible says, “But we’re not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We’ll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way.”

The choice to believe does not weigh the possibility of success against failure.

When you made the choice to believe, it was not on the off chance that there might not be a God and you chose the safer option of assuming that there is one; it does not assume that you might not be healed but you can try to pray for healing anyway.

Embrace faith in the understanding that it doesn’t operate by chances. What God promised, He performs. What He says, He does.

His name be praised!

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 10:39, Mark 9:23

GOLDEN NUGGET: The choice to believe does not weigh the possibility of success against failure. Embrace faith in the understanding that it doesn’t operate by chances. What God promised, He performs. What He says, He does.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this knowledge. The just live by faith, it is the pattern of my life. I do not live my life with alternatives to what you can or cannot do. I believe and trust in You completely. You are the first and only option, the God who is able and who will never fail. Glory to Your name, Amen.

OKUSALAWO KW’OKUKKIRIZA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Abaebbulaniya 11:1(KJV); Okukkiriza kwe kukakasa nti ebisuubirwa birituukirira, era n’obutabuusabuusa newakubadde nga tebinnalabika.

Mu bufirosoofa, waliwo ensonga eweebwa okuwagira endowooza emu eyitibwa okutebesereza kwa Pascal, yaleetebwawo omufirisoofa Omufalansa, ayitibwa Blaise Pascal.

Okutebesereza kwa Pascal kugamba nti abantu bamale gakkiriza nti Katonda gyali wadde nga tebeekakasa. Mu bufunze, ensonga eweebwa okuwagira okutebesereza kuno egamba nti oyina okutambuzza obulamu nga alowooza nti Katonda gy’ali kubanga bw’ofa n’osanga nti waliyo Katonda, ofunamu naye bw’osanga nti Katonda taliiyo, tewali ky’ofiirwa. Mu bigambo bye byennyini agamba, “Bw’ofuna, ofuna byonna; bw’ofiirwa, tewali ky’ofiirwa.”

Obutundutundu bw’okutebesereza kwa Pascal bulabikira mu ngeri Abakristaayo abamu gye batwalamu obulamu bwabwe mu kaseera kano. Okukkiriza zzaala era muzannyo gwa kugezesa. Tewali kyankomeredde mu kukakasibwa kwabwe mu Katonda era n’olwekyo, obulamu bwabwe obw’okukkiriza kulumirizibwa okw’okugezesa okulaba oba kikola. Bwe kikola, ekyo kirungi. Bwe kitakola, kibi nnyo.

KATONDA MUGENDEREVU NYO MU BWAKOLA OKULEKA OKUKKIRIZA OKUTAMBULIRA KU NTOLI EZ’OKUGEZESA.

Kubanga okukkiriza tteeka ery’omwoyo, obuzito bwalyo mu mwoyo buliwa obusobozi okuba eky’enkomeredde.

Eno y’ensonga lwaki Kristo alaga obuyinza buno obwenkomeredde mu kugamba nti TEWALI KITASOBOKA eri abo abakkiriza (Makko 9:23). Enjogera eno yokka eggyawo okubuusabuusa mu nsiike ey’okukkiriza.

Okukkiriza kuba okusalawo okukkiriza paka ku nkomerero. Ekikula eky’okukkiriza, okunyonyolwa nga okusalawo, kilambululwa mu nzivuunula ya Baibuli eya ‘Message version’ mu Abaebbulaniya 10:39. Baibuli egamba, “Ssi ffe abo abawanika okulemererwa. Nedda,! Weewaawo tubeera nakyo era ne tubeerawo nga twesiga okuyita mu kubo wonna.

Okusalawo okukkiriza tekuteeka busobozi obw’okuwangula ku minzaani n’obusobozi obw’okulemererwa.

Bwe wasalawo okukkiriza, tekyali kisima nti osanga Katonda taliiyo naye n’olonda okulondawo okutali kwa bulabe okw’okutebesereza nti gy’Ali; tekiriiko kutebesereza nti togenda kuwonyezebwa naye nti era ojja kugezaako okusaba okuwonyezebwa.

Yaniriza okukkiriza mu ntegeera nti tekukolera ku kugezesa. Katonda kye yasuubiza, Akituukiriza. Ky’ayogera, Akikola.

Erinnya lye litenderezebwe!

YONGERA OSOME: Abaebbulaniya 10:39, Makko 9:23

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okusalawo okukkiriza tekuteeka busobozi obw’okuwangula ku minzaani n’obusobozi obw’okulemererwa. Yaniriza okukkiriza mu ntegeera nti tekukolera ku mikisa. Katonda kye yasuubiza, Akituukiriza. Ky’ayogera, Akikola.

ESSAALA: Kitange, Nkwebaza ku lw’okumanya kuno. Abatuukirivu babeera balamu olw’okukkiriza, gwe mutendera gw’obulamu bwange. Ssibeerawo na bya kulondawo birala eri ebyo by’oyinza okukola ne by’otoyinza. Nzikiriza era nneesiga Gwe mu bujjuvu. Ggwe osooka era eky’okulondawo kyokka, Katonda asobola era ataliremererwa. Ekitiibwa eri erinnya lyo, Amiina.

EMIRINGO Y’OKWIKIRIZA

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Abaheburaayo 11:1; Okwikiriza nikwo kuhamiza kimwe ebi twineho amatsiko, kandi nikwo kutumanyisiza kimwe ebitarikureebwa;

Omu bashomi, hariho okuhajaana okubarikweeta “Pascal’s wager”, okwaretsirwe omushomi w’omufaransa ou barikweeta “Blaise Pascal”.

‘Pascal’s wager’ netensa ngu abantu bashemereire kuteebereza okubaho kwa Ruhanga. Omu bugufu, okuhajaana okwo nikugira ngu oshemereire kugyendera omu magara aga orikuteekateeka ngu Ruhanga ariho ahabw’okuba waafa okashanga ngu Ruhanga ariho, noija kugoba, kwonka washanga ngu Ruhanga tariho, tihaine ki orafeerwe. Omu bigambo bye nagira ati, “Ku orikugoba, nogoba byoona; ku orikufeerwa, tihaine ki orikufeerwa.”

Ebicweeka bya ‘Pascal’s wager’ nibireebwa omu muringo ogu abakristaayo abamwe bari omu magara gaabo hati. Okwikiriza ni zaara kandi n’omuzaano gw’okuteebereza. Tihariho okumanya okuhamire okwaabo omuri Ruhanga kandi ahabw’ekyo, amagara gaabo ag’okwikiriza nag’okugyeza n’okuremwa. Ku birakore, ni kirungi. Byaaba bitakozire, ni kibi.

RUHANGA NAGYENDERERA MUNONGA, TARIKUBAASA KUREKA OKWIKIRIZA KUGYENDERA AHA KUTEEBEREZA.

Ahabw’okugira ngu okwikiriza n’ekiragiro ky’omwoyo, oburemeezi bwakwo obw’omwoyo ni bukuhamiza kimwe.

Eki nikyo ahabwenki Kristo arikuhamya ati, BYOONA NIBIBAASIKA ahari ogwo orikwikiriza (Mako 9:23). Eki ekigambo kyonka nikiihaho okuteebereza omunsi y’okwikiriza.

Okwikiriza n’okucwamu kwikiriza okuhitsya aha muheru. Obuhangwa bw’okwikiriza, okucwamu okwo, nikushobororwa omu ‘kuvunurira okwa Message’ omu Abaheburaayo 10:39. Baiburi negira eti, “Kwonka itwe ti turi abo abarikuhanika bakafeerwa. Ngaha! Nituza kuguma nakyo tukitsigaremu, haza obwo turikumwesiga omu rugyendo rwoona.”

Okucwamu kwikiriza tikuri kupima omugisha gw’obusinguzi hamwe n’okuremwa.

Obu wacwiremu kwikiriza, okaba otarikuteebereza ngu Ruhanga nabaasa kuba atariho haza okacwamu ekyorobi eky’okuteekateeka ngu ariho; tikirikugira ngu nobaasa kuba otakizire kureka ngu nobaasa kugyezaho kushabira okukira.

Yakiira okwikiriza omu kwetegyereza ngu tikuri kugyendera aha kuteebereza. Eki Ruhanga yaraganiise, nakihikiiriza. Eki arikugamba, nakikora.

Eiziina rye rihimbisibwe!

SHOMA NEEBI: Abaheburaayo 10:39, Mako 9:23

EZAABU: Okucwamu kwikiriza tikuri kupima omugisha gw’obusinguzi hamwe n’okuremwa. Yakiira okwikiriza omu kwetegyereza ngu tikuri kugyendera aha kuteebereza. Eki Ruhanga yaraganiise, nakihikiiriza. Eki arikugamba, nakikora.

OKUSHABA: Taata, ninkusiima ahabw’okumanya oku. Abahikiriire baryaba abahuriire ahabw’okwikiriza, egyo niyo ngyendererwa y’amagara gangye. Tindikubaho ahabw’okugira emiringo myingi ey’ebyorikubaasa kukora nari ebi otarikubaasa. Ninkwikiririzamu kandi ninkwesigira kimwe. Niiwe muhanda ogw’okubanza kandi ogu nyine gwonka, Ruhanga orikubaasa kandi otariremwa. Ekitiinisa kigarukire eiziina ryaawe. Amiina.

KUCHUAMU KWA KUHIKILIJA 

Mukwenda Grace Lubega

Bahebbulayo 11:1(KJV); Ti̱ ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja ni kuukala onanukiiye kwonini ngoku olitunga ebi okunihilagha kandi kumanya ngoku olitunga ebi otaboone endindi.

Mu Basomi, aliyo Ntongana eghi bakwetagha Pascals Wager, ekatandikibuwa musasa oghu bakwetagha Blaise Pascal.

Pascal’s Wager ekughambagha ngu Bantu balina kuhakaniya Kuboho kwa Luhanga. Ntogana yabo ekughambagha ngu olina kutuula okimaniye ngu Luhanga Aliyo nanga ngu nuwakuuye kandi osanga Luhanga Aliyo, okubha otungiyemu bhaatu kasita osanga Luhanga ataliyo, tooli neki okufeeluwa. Mubighambo biye byonini,  akughambagha ngu, “okakuba notunghami, otunge byona; okakufeeluwa, tolineki okufeeluwa bhaa.”

Ntongana ya Pascal’s wager eni yeyolekiye mubwomili bwaba Kilisitayo bamui bilobini. Kuhikilija ghuli nga mugyano kedha kubetinga mpaka otungiye kagisa. Tabakasaliyo kumanya Luhanga, nahabweki kuhikilija kwabo nkwa kulengesiya na kulemuwa. Kukakukola, nkilungi. Kutakoliye, mafu. 

LUHANGA ABALIYE OHIKILIJE OLEKE KUKALA N’OLENGESIYA.

Nanga kuhikilija ni’eteeka lyamumwoyo, kulyota kwamumwoyo kukulihaagha maani. 

Kini nikiyo kikulekagha Kilisito abughila mumaani ghani naghamba ati TAALIYO EKITAKUGUBHUKANA ali wena oghu ahikilije.(maliko 9:23). Mbugha ngheni yonka ekuyagha kulengesiya Mukuhikilijja. 

Kuhikilija nikuwo kuchuamu kumuhikilija mpaka mpelo. Nsigho ya kuhikilija eni baghibughiyo mu Bahebbulayo 10:39.    Baibuli ekughambagha ngu, “Etu̱we tatuli nga abaalu̱ghagha haa ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kwabo kandi abakuhwelekeelela, bhaatu tuli nga abaku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kandi bamanya ngoku baju̱nu̱u̱we.”

Kuchuamu kuhikilija takukupimagha Businghuji hamui na kulemuwa.

Obu wachuemu Kuhikilija, Tuwalengagho’o bhaa; kuhikilija takukunihilagha ngu kedha obwalo tokukila. 

Kuhikilija okutwalile mukukenga ngu takukukolelagha mukulengesiya. Eki Luhanga abughiye nikiyo akukolagha, eki alaghisanije nikiyo akukolagha.

Lina liye lisiimuwe!

OTODHE OSOME: Bahebbulayo 10:39, Maliko 9:23

KASUSI KA FEZZA: Obu wachuemu Kuhikilija, Tuwalengagho’o bhaa; kuhikilija takukunihilagha ngu kedha obwalo tokukila. Kuhikilija okutwalile munkukenga ngu takukukolelagha mukulengesiya. Eki Luhanga abughiye nikiyo akukolagha, eki alaghisanije nikiyo akukolagha.

TUSABE: Tita,webale habwa magheji ghani. Oghu ahi̱ki̱li̱i̱ye akuba mwomi̱i̱li̱ haabwa ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja, nikiyo kihanda kya bwomili bwanje. bwomili bwanje tabuli nakihanda kinji mwebi okugubha kukola kedha otakugubha kukola. Nkahikilija kandi nesighiye uwe. Nuwe wokubanja nawokumalilila, Luhanga wobusoboji kandi oghu atakugubha kulemuwa. Kitinisa kikukukile, Amiina.
