Apostle Grace Lubega

Acts 11:26 (KJV); And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Not everything that God requires you to do will be expressly spoken. 

It is the wisdom of the spiritually mature to discern God’s silent instructions.

For example, in Acts 1:8, the Bible says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

In this scripture, the Bible does not mention Antioch because Antioch was a silent instruction. However, it was imperative for the disciples that were to spread to Judea and Samaria to firstly go to Antioch because it was the place of much teaching. In fact, the ones that did not go through Antioch but straight to Judea caused problems for the church much later in Acts 15.

It is erroneous to assume that silence by God about an issue automatically means inaction, denial or disapproval.

God speaks in a great diversity of ways. He is calling upon us to also master the ways in which He speaks when He says nothing because even in His silence, He communicates.

FURTHER STUDY: Acts 1:8, Acts 15

GOLDEN NUGGET: God speaks in a great diversity of ways. He is calling upon us to also master the ways in which He speaks when He says nothing because even in His silence, He communicates.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for the wisdom to discern instructions even when You have not spoken. My spirit is yielded to hear you even in silence. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 

EBIRAGIRO BYA KATONDA EBITAYATUDDWA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Ebikolwa 11:26 (KJV); Bwe yamala okumulaba n’amuleeta mu Antiyokiya. Awo olwatuuka ne bamala mwaka mulamba nga bakuŋŋaana n’ekkanisa ne bayigiriza ekibiina kinene: abayigirizwa ne basooka okuyitibwa Abakristaayo mu Antiyokiya.

Ssi buli kintu Katonda kye yeetaaga okole nti ajja kukyatula.

Gaba magezi g’abo abakuze mu by’omwoyo okumanya ebiragiro bya Katonda ebitayatuddwa.

Okugeza, mu Ebikolwa 1:8, baibuli egamba, “Naye muliweebwa amaanyi, Omwoyo Omutukuvu bw’alimala okujja ku mmwe, namwe munaabanga bajulirwa bange mu Yerusaalemi ne mu Buyudaaya bwonna ne mu Samaliya, n’okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi.”

Mu kyawandiikibwa kino, Baibuli teyayogera ku Antiyokiya kubanga Antiyokiya kyali kiragiro ekitaayatulwa. Wabula, kyali kyetaagisa abayigirizwa abaali ab’okusaasaanira mu Buyudaaya ne Samaliya okusooka okugenda mu Antiyokiya kubanga kye kyali ekifo eky’okuyigirizibwa okungi. Eky’amazima, abo abataayitira mu Antiyokiya naye ne bagenda butereevu mu Buyudaaya baleetera ekkanisa obuzibu bungi oluvannyuma ennyo nga bwe kirabisibwa mu Ebikolwa 15.

Eba nsobi okuteebereza nti okusirika kwa Katonda ku nsonga ezimu, kitegeeza obutakola, okugaanibwa oba obutakakasibwa.

Katonda ayogerera mu ngeri nnyingi ddala. Atuyita naffe eri okutegeerera ddala engeri z’ayogereramu ne bw’aba tayatudde kintu kyonna kubanga ne mu kusirika Kwe, ategeeza ensonga.

YONGERA OSOME: Ebikolwa 1:8, Ebikolwa 15.

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Katonda ayogera mu ngeri nnyingi ddala. Atuyita naffe eri okutegeera ddala engeri z’ayogereramu ne bw’aba nga tayatudde kintu kyonna kubanga ne mu kusirika kwe, ategeeza ensonga.

ESSAALA: Kitange omwagalwa, Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Weebale ku lw’amagezi okwawula ebiragiro ne bw’oba nga toyatudde. Omwoyo gwange gwewaddeyo okukuwulira ne mu butayatula bwo. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

Nambwenu, abatararabire Antiokia haza bakagyendera kimwe Buyudaaya, bakareetera ekanisa oburemeezi bwanyima omu kitabo ky’Ebyakozirwe Entumwa 15.

N’enshobi kuteekateeka ngu okuhunama kwa Ruhanga aha nshonga nikimanyisa okutakora, okuhakana, narishi okutaikiriza.

Ruhanga nagambira omu miringo myingi ey’omutaano. Ariyo natweeta kwetegyereza emiringo ei arikugambiramu yaaba ataine ki ayatwiire ahabw’okuba n’omukuhunama kwe, naaba nagamba.

BILAGHILO BYA LUHANGA EBIHOLEKELEYE

Mukwenda Grace Lubega

Bikoluwa 11:26 (KJV); Obu aamuboone aalu̱ghayo naye baasa mu tau̱ni̱ ya Anti̱yoki̱ya. Ti̱ baamala mwaka ghumui banali na ki̱bbu̱la kya bahi̱ki̱li̱ja aba kandi beegheesi̱ya bantu bakani̱ye. Mu Anti̱yoki̱ya niiyo beeghesebuwa baadu̱bhi̱ye kubaghilamu Baki̱li̱si̱taayo.

Takili nti buli kintu eki Luhanga akukubaliyagha kukola akukughambilagha kiyo mu busuye.

Ni mageji gha bantu abakuliye mu mwoyo kumanyilila bilaghilo bya luhanga ebiholekeleye.

Kyakulolelo kili mu Bikoluwa 1:8, baibuli ekughamba eti, “Bhaatu mukutunga maani Mwoyo Ahikiliiye, naabasiyo; tooli mukuba baakaiso banje mu Yelusaalemu, Buyudaaya, Samaliya, na biikalo byona by’omunsi yoona.”

Mu ekihndikiwe kini, baibuli tiyabhugiyo Antiyokiya nanga eyo ekaba eli ya kilaghilo kiholekeleye. Bhaatu, kikaba kili kya maani nti bakwenda abali batumiiwe mu Buyudaaya na Samaliya kubanja kughenda e Antiyokiya nanga kikaba kili kikalo kya kweghesiya kukaniye. Mu kwonini, aba abatabanjiye kughenda e Antiyokiya bhaatu baghendelo mu Buyudaaya bakaleteleja nkanisa bijibu obu kaile kaasaye mu Bikoluwa 15.

Takili kya majima kutekeleja oti kuholekeleliya kwa Luhanga hali kintu kikumanisiya kiti tolina kyakukikolela, kedha kiti okibhenge, kedha kiti otakisiima.

Luhanga akubughagha mu ngeli sikaniye esitasusane. Nibuwo atubilikila ku kenga ngeli esi akubughagha naba atabughiye kantu nanga na mu buholiya buwe, akubughagha.

OTODHE OSOME: Bikoluwa 1:8, Bikoluwa 15.

MAAGIZO YA KIMYA YA MUNGU

Mtume Grace Lubega

Matendo 11:26 (KJV); Hata alipokwisha kumwona akamleta Antiokia. Ikawa kwa muda wa mwaka mzima wakakusanyika pamoja na kanisa na kuwafundisha watu wengi. Na wanafunzi waliitwa Wakristo kwanza hapo Antiokia.

Sio kila kitu ambacho Mungu anataka ufanye kitasemwa waziwazi.

Ni busara kwa mtu aliye komaa kiroho kutambua maagizo ya kimya ya Mungu.

Kwa mfano, katika Matendo 1:8, Biblia inasema, “Lakini mtapokea nguvu, akiisha kuwajilia juu yenu Roho Mtakatifu; nanyi mtakuwa mashahidi wangu katika Yerusalemu, na katika Uyahudi wote, na Samaria, na hata mwisho wa nchi.”

Katika andiko hili, Biblia haitaji Antiokia kwa sababu Antiokia ilikuwa agizo la kimya. Walakini, ilikuwa lazima kwa wanafunzi ambao wangeeneza kwenda Yudea na Samaria, kwanza kupitia Antiokia kwa sababu ilikuwa mahali pa mafundisho mengi. Kwa kweli, wale ambao hawakupitia Antiokia lakini wakaenda Yudea moja kwa moja waliadhiri kanisa baadaye katika Matendo 15.

Ni makosa kudhani kwamba kukimya kwa Mungu kuhusu jambo inamaanisha kutotenda, kukataa au kutokubali.

Mungu huzungumza kwa njia nyingi tofauti. Anatuita sisi pia kufahamu njia ambazo Yeye huzungumza wakati ambapo hasemi chochote kwa sababu hata katika kukimya kwake, Yeye huwasiliana.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Matendo 1:8, Matendo 15.

UJUMBE MKUU: Mungu huzungumza kwa njia nyingi tofauti. Anatuita sisi pia kufahamu njia ambazo Yeye huzungumza wakati ambapo hasemi chochote kwa sababu hata katika kukimya kwake, Yeye huwasiliana.

SALA: Baba mpenzi, Ninakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Asante kwa hekima ya kugundua maagizo hata wakati hujazungumza. Roho yangu imejitolea kukusikia hata ukiwa kimya. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
