Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah 45:18 (KJV); For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

In our theme scripture, the Hebrew word for vain is also translated to mean “waste.” God did not create the earth for it to be wasted but to be inhabited. It means that God by nature does not waste and neither does He like waste.

Christian conduct should reflect the same attitude and mindset.

I have known Christians who have wasted things because they were easily available. Take the simple example of food. There are those who will order more than what they can consume and gladly throw away the rest simply because they can. That is wasteful and is in total indifference to the fact that on the same planet, there are children who are dying of hunger.

What did Jesus do after He fed the five thousand? The Bible reveals that Jesus told his disciples to gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing would be lost (John 6:12). The wisdom therein was to avoid waste.

How about money? Some Christians have no financial discipline whatsoever and waste money in the thinking that they are under the grace of God and can misuse it as much as they want. That is not wise and does not reflect how God works. We are not to waste money simply because we have it but to apply it responsibly to improve our lives and the lives of those around us.

Be purposeful about living a non-wasteful lifestyle because this is the nature of God.

FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 21:20, John 6:12

GOLDEN NUGGET: Be purposeful about living a non-wasteful lifestyle because this is the nature of God.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I live my life in this wisdom. I can never waste because I understand the responsibilities that come with access. For whatever You have given me, I treat with reverence because I understand the price and value of all that You provide. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

EBIKWATA KU NNEEYISA EY’EKIKRISTAAYO – 1

Omutume Grace Lubega

Isaaya 45:18 (KJV); Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama eyatonda eggulu; ye Katonda; eyabumba ensi n’agikola; ye yaginyweza, yagitonda obutaba ddungu, yagibumba okutuulwamu; nti Nze Mukama; so tewali mulala.

Mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, ekigambo eky’Olwebbulaniya ekya obutaba ddungu kivvuunulwa okutegeeza “okwonoona.” Katonda teyatonda nsi eyonoonebwe naye ebeerwemu. Kino kitegeeza nti Katonda mu butonde bwe tayonoona era mu ngeri endala tayagala kwonoona.

Enneeyisa y’ekikristaayo erina okwolesa endaba y’ebintu n’endowooza y’emu.

Mmanyi Abakristaayo aboonoonye ebintu kubanga byaliwo we baabyetaagira. Twala ekyokulabirako eky’emmere. Waliwo abo abatumya esingako kw’eyo gye basobola okumalawo era ne basuula esigaddewo, nga tebeesise namu yadde olw’okuba nti balina obusobozi. Ekyo kya kwonoona era ssi kya kusaasira naddala eri amazima nti ku nsi y’emu, eriyo abaana abali mu kufa enjala.

Yesu yakola ki bwe yamala okuliisa enkumi ettaano? Baibuli ebikkula nti Yesu yagamba abatume be okukuŋŋaanya obukunkumuka obwali busigaddewo waleme kubaawo kyonooneka ( Yokaana 6:12). Amagezi mu kyo gaali kwewala okwonoona.

Ate ku ssente? Abakristaayo abamu tebalina mpisa mu bya ssente mu ngeri yonna era boonoona ssente mu ndowooza nti bali mu kisa kya Katonda era basobola okuzikozesa nga bwe baagala. Ekyo ssi kya magezi era tekiraga Katonda bw’akola. Tetulina kwonoona ssente lwa kuba nti tuzirina naye okuzikozesa n’obuvunaanyizibwa okutereeza obulamu bwaffe era n’obwabo abatwetooloodde.

Beera n’ekigendererwa eky’okubeera n’obulamu obutaliimu kwonoona kubanga kino ky’ekikula kya Katonda.

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Beera n’ekigendererwa eky’okubeera n’obulamu obutaliimu kwonoona kubanga kino ky’ekikula kya Katonda.

Buli ky’ompadde, nkikwata n’ekitiibwa kubanga ntegeera omuwendo n’obukulu bw’omuwendo ogw’ebyo by’ompadde. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

Isaaya 45:18 (KJV); Ahakuba oku nikwo MUKAMA arikugamba, Owaahangire eiguru, (niwe Ruhanga) Akahanga ensi, akagibumburika, Kandi akagihamya. (Taragihangire etari mu buteeka, Kureka akagihanga kutuurwamu.) Naagira ati: Niinye MUKAMA; tihariho ondiijo.

Ruhanga tarahangire ensi kushiishwa kureka akagihanga kutuurwamu. Nikimanyisa ngu Ruhanga omu buhangwa bwe, tarikushiisha bintu kandi nabwo tarikukunda ebisisirwe.

MWENENDO WA KIKRISTO – 1

Mtume Grace Lubega

Isaya 45:18 (KJV); Kwa maana BWANA ambaye ameziumba mbingu asema hivi; Mungu mwenyewe aliyeiumba dunia na kuifanya; ameiimarisha, hakuiumba bure, ameiumba ili ikaawe; mimi ndimi Bwana; na hakuna mwingine.

Katika andiko letu kuu, neno la Kiebrania la bure, pia limetafsiriwa kumaanisha “taka.” Mungu hakuiumba dunia ili iharibiwe bali ikaliwe. Maana yake ni kwamba Mungu kwa asili yake hatupi wala hapendi taka.

Mwenendo wa Kikristo unapaswa kuonyesha mtazamo na fikira hii hii.

Nimewajua Wakristo ambao wamepoteza vitu kwa sababu zilipatikana kwa urahisi. Chukua mfano rahisi wa chakula. Kuna wale ambao huagiza zaidi ya kile wanachoweza kula na kwa mzaha kutupa kingine kwa sababu uwezo huo upo. Hio ni kupoteza na kutojali ukweli kwamba, katika sayari waliyomo, kuna watoto ambao wanakufa kwa njaa.

Je! Yesu alifanya nini baada ya kuwalisha wale elfu tano? Biblia inafunua kwamba Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake wakusanye vipande vilivyobaki ili chochote kisipotee (Yohana 6:12). Hekima hiyo ilikuwa ya kuepuka taka.

Na pesa je? Wakristo wengine hawana nidhamu yoyote ya kifedha na hupoteza pesa kwa kufikiria kwamba kuwa chini ya neema ya Mungu kunawawezesha kuitumia jinsi watakavyo. Hiyo sio busara na haionyeshi jinsi ambavyo Mungu hufanya kazi. Hatupaswi kupoteza pesa kwa sababu tunayo bali kuitumia kwa uwajibikaji ili kuboresha maisha yetu na maisha ya wale walio karibu nasi.

Kusudia kuishi maisha yasiyo ya kupoteza kwa sababu hii ndio asili ya Mungu.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Mithali 21:20, Yohana 6:12

UJUMBE MKUU: Kusudia kuishi maisha yasiyo ya kupoteza kwa sababu hii ndio asili ya Mungu.

SALA: Baba, Nakushukuru kwa Neno hili. Ninaishi maisha yangu kwa hekima hii. Siwezi kupoteza kamwe kwa sababu ninaelewa majukumu yanayokuja na ufikiaji. Kwa chochote ambacho umenipa, ninakichukulia kwa heshima kuu kwa sababu ninaelewa bei na thamani ya vyote ambavyo umetoa. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
