Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Peter 4:8 (AMP); Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others].

Many believers aspire to a life of miracles, prophecy, or other great attributes that set a man apart as being anointed by God.

Few of them aspire to love. They will seek God endlessly to demonstrate His power, to cause the lame to walk and the blind to see but they can never break before Him for the sole purpose of allowing Him to love men through them.

They have not understood that the Bible places love at the pinnacle of all spiritual pursuits.

Our theme scripture uses the language of, “ABOVE ALL THINGS…”

In 1 Corinthians 12:31 (AMPC), the Word says, “But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still MORE EXCELLENT WAY [ONE THAT IS BETTER BY FAR AND THE HIGHEST OF THEM ALL–LOVE].”

Love is our high calling in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14). It is the fundamental rule of true discipleship. In John 13:35 (MSG), the Lord says, “This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples–when they see the love you have for each other.”

Allow love to be your driving motivation, spiritual ambition, and the standard against which you weigh all your actions.

FURTHER STUDY: James 2:8, John 13:34-35

GOLDEN NUGGET: Love is our high calling in Christ Jesus. It is the fundamental rule of true discipleship.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. In my walk of salvation, I am constantly reminded that you love me. It is with this same mind that I walk in love towards all men. I know that love is not just a pursuit, it is my nature. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

OKWAGALA, EKIRUUBIRIRWA KYAFFE EKISINGAYO OBUKULU

Omutume Grace Lubega

1 Peteero 4:8 (AMP); Okusinga ebintu byonna mubeere n’okwagala okwomuggundu okutalemererwa okungi ennyo eri bannamwe, kubanga okwagala kubikka ku bibi bingi [kusonyiwa era tekutunuulira byonoono by’abalala].

Abakkiriza bangi baluubiririra obulamu obw’ebyamagero, obw’obunnabbi oba obw’ebyamaanyi ebirala ebyawula omuntu ng’afukiddwako Katonda amafuta.

Batono nnyo abaruubirira okwagala. Banoonya Katonda obutakoma okwolesa amaanyi Ge, okuleetera abalema okutambula n’abazibe okulaba naye nga tebayinza kwetoowaza mu maaso ge olw’ekigendererwa ky’okumukkiriza okwagala abantu okuyita mu bbo.

Mu 1 Abakkolinso 12:31 (AMPC), Ekigambo kigamba, “Naye muyaayaanirenga era muluubirire ebirabo ebisukkuluma era n’ekisa ekisingayo. Era mbalaga ekkubo ERISINGAKO OBULUNGI [ERYO ERISINGAKO OKUYITIMUKA ERA ERYA WAGGULU WA GONNA–OKWAGALA].“

Okwagala kwe kuyitibwa kwaffe okwa waggulu mu Kristo Yesu (Abafiripi 3:14). Ky’ekiragiro ekikulu ennyo eky’obuyigirizwa obutuufu. Mu Yokaana 13:35 (MSG), Mukama agamba, “Eno y’engeri bonna kwe banaategeereranga nti muli bayigirizwa bange, bwe balaba okwagalana kwe mulina eri bannamwe.”

Kkiriza okwagala kubeere ensonga lwaki okola by’okola, ekiruubirirwa kyo eky’omwoyo era n’omutindo kw’opimira ebikolwa byo byonna.

YONGERA OSOME: Yakobo 2:8, Yokaana 13:34-35

Abakristaayo abaingi nibeteenga amagara g’eby’okutangaaza, obunabi, narishi ebintu by’omutaano ebindi ebiritaanisa omuntu kworeka ngu Ruhanga amushukireho amajuta.

Omutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu nigukozesa orurimi, “OKUKIRA BYOONA…”

Omu kitabo kya 1 Abakorinso 12:31 (AMPC), Ekigambo nikigira kiti, “Kwonka mute omutima kandi mwenegyeze n’obweziriki embabazi hamwe n’ebiconco ebikuru mononga kandi ebirikukira oburungi (ebiconco ebirikukiraho kandi embabazi ezirikukira oburungi). Kandi ninyija kubooreka OMUHANDA OGURIKUKIRA OBURUNGI [OGWO OGURIKUKIRIRA KIMWE OBURUNGI KANDI OGURI AHAIGURU YA BYOONA–RUKUNDO].“

Okukunda nikwo kweetwa kwaitu okurikukirayo omuri Kristo Yesu (Abafilipi 3:14). Nikyo kiragiro ky’okubandizaho omu murimo gw’okuhindura abantu abeegi oguhikire. Omu kitabo kya Yohaana 13:35, Mukama nagira ati, “Oku nikwo abantu boona barimanya kumuri abeegi bangye–ku barireeba rukundo ei mwiniire bagyenzi banyu.”

Ikiriza okukunda kwebembera okushinjwa kwaawe, kube ekyeteengo kyaawe eky’omwoyo kandi kube eki ori kupimiraho ebikorwa byaawe.

UPENDO, TAMAA LETU KUBWA ZAIDI

Mtume Grace Lubega

1 Petro 4:8 (AMP); Zaidi ya yote iweni na juhudi nyingi katika kupendana; kwa sababu upendo husitiri wingi wa dhambi [husamehe na kupuuza makosa ya wengine].

Waumini wengi wanatamani maisha ya miujiza, unabii au sifa zingine kuu ambazo zinamtofautisha mtu kama aliyepakwa mafuta na Mungu.

Wachache wao wanatamani kupenda. Watamtafuta Mungu bila mwisho kuonyesha nguvu zake, kuwafanya vilema kutembea na vipofu kuona lakini hawawezi kamwe kuvunjika mbele zake kwa lengo moja tu la kumruhusu awapende watu kupitia kwao.

Hawajaelewa kuwa Biblia imeweka upendo katika kilele cha shughuli zote za kiroho.

Andiko letu kuu imetumia lugha ya, “ZAIDI YA YOTE…”

Katika 1 Wakorintho 12:31 (AMPC), Neno linasema, “Takeni kwa bidii na kusitawisha karama na neema zilizo kuu na bora zaidi. Hata hivyo nawaonyesha NJIA BORA ZAIDI [ MOJA AMBAYO NI KUU NA BORA, ZAIDI YA YOTE–MAPENZI].”

Upendo ni wito wetu mkuu katika Kristo Yesu (Wafilipi 3:14). Ni kanuni ya kimsingi ya ufuasi wa kweli. Katika Yohana 13:35 (MSG), Bwana anasema, “Hivyo watu wote watatambua ya kuwa ninyi mmekuwa wanafunzi wangu, mkiwa na upendo ninyi kwa ninyi.”

Ruhusu upendo uwe motisha yako, tamaa yako ya kiroho na kiwango cha kupima vitendo vyako vyote.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yakobo 2:8, Yohana 13:34-35

UJUMBE MKUU: Upendo ni wito wetu mkuu katika Kristo Yesu. Ni kanuni ya kimsingi ya ufuasi wa kweli.

SALA: Baba mpenzi, ninakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Katika tembezi langu la wokovu, ninakumbushwa kila wakati kuwa unanipenda. Ni katika akili hii hii kwamba ninatembea kwa upendo kwa watu wote. Ninajua kuwa upendo sio tu utafutaji, ni asili yangu. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
