Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalm 1:1 (KJV); Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

If you desire success in life, you must make the choice never to keep company with people who set themselves against the ways of God. Our theme scripture calls such company the seat of the scornful or the way of sinners.

Sometimes, judgment comes upon people, not because they are wicked and ungodly but because they keep company with such individuals.

Why would a Christian dedicate precious time to a conversation that is centred on ridiculing, criticizing and smearing the name of a fellow Christian or a spiritual authority?

Why would you maintain a long and lasting relationship with a person whose every conversational topic is what is wrong with one sister or brother?

Character is contagious. Your friends matter. If you are serious about your success, vet your friends and ensure that those whose hearts are set against the precepts of God are not in the immediate ambit of your circle of influence.

This does not mean that you do not love them. It only means that sometimes, friendship with the wrong people is too high a price to pay, if it costs you the positioning for the success you must see in God.

GOLDEN NUGGET: Character is contagious. Your friends matter. If you are serious about your success, vet your friends and ensure that those whose hearts are set against the precepts of God are not in the immediate ambit of your circle of influence.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this truth. You have called me to greatness. I make friends based on this consciousness. My inner circle is of people who know You and fear You. I can never be found to sit in the counsel of the scornful because wisdom is continuously on my lips. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Zabbuli 1:1 (KJV); Alina omukisa omuntu atatambulira mu kuteesa kw’ababi, Newakubadde okuyimirira mu kkubo ly’abo abalina ebibi, Newakubadde okutuula ku ntebe y’abanyooma. 

Bw’oba oyagala obuwanguzi mu bulamu, olina okukola okusalawo obutakuumanga mukwano n’abantu abakontana n’amakubo ga Katonda. Ekyawandikiibwa kyaffe ekiggudewo kiyita emikwano egyo entebe y’abanyooma oba ekkubo ly’abalina ebibi.

Ebiseera ebimu, okusalirwa omusango kujja eri abantu, ssi lwakuba nti babi era nti bonoonyi naye kubanga bakuuma emikwano n’abantu ng’abo.

Lwaki Omukristaayo yandiwaddeyo obudde obw’omuwendo eri emboozi y’okuvumirira, okunoonya ensobi n’okwonoona erinnya ly’omukristaayo munne oba omukulembeze mu mwoyo? Lwaki wandikuumye nnyo era n’owangaaza enkolagana n’omuntu nga buli kunyumya anyumya ku kibi ki ekiri ku w’oluganda omu oba omulala?

Empisa zisiigibwa. Mikwano gyo mikulu. Bw’oba ng’oli mumalirivu ku buwanguzi bwo, sunsula mu mikwano gyo era okakase nti abo ab’emitima egikontana n’ennono za Katonda tebali mu kabondo k’abantu abakwetoolodde abasookerwako.

Kino tekitegeeza nti tobaagala. Kitegeeza butegeeza nti ebiseera ebimu, omukwano n’abantu abakyamu kya muwendo gwa waggulu nnyo okusasula, bwe kiba nga kikutwalira okufiirwa okweteekateeka kwo mu kifo ky’obuwanguzi ky’olina okulaba mu Katonda.

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Empisa zisiigibwa. Mikwano gyo mikulu. Bw’oba ng’oli mumalirivu ku buwanguzi bwo, sunsula mu mikwano gyo era okakase nti abo ab’emitima egikontana n’ennono za Katonda tebali mu kabondo k’abantu abakwetoolodde abasookerwako.

ESSAALA: Kitange, Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Ompise eri obusukkulumu. Nkola emikwano okusinziira ku ndowooza eno. Akabondo kange ak’omunda k’abantu abakumanyi era n’okukutya.

YA URAFIKI NA MAFANIKIO

Mtume Grace Lubega

Zaburi 1:1 (KJV); Heri mtu yule asiyekwenda Katika shauri la wasio haki; Wala hakusimama katika njia ya wakosaji; Wala hakuketi barazani pa wenye mizaha.

Ikiwa unataka mafanikio maishani, lazima uchague kutoshirikiana kamwe na watu wanaojiweka dhidi ya njia za Mungu. Andiko letu kuu linaita kikundi hicho, barazani pa wenye mizaha au njia ya wakosaji.

Wakati mwingine, hukumu huwajia watu, sio kwa sababu wao ni waovu na wasiomcha Mungu lakini kwa sababu wanajiunga na watu kama hao.

Kwa nini Mkristo atoe wakati wake wa thamani kwenye mazungumzo ambayo yanalenga kukejeli, kukosoa na kulipaka tope jina la Mkristo mwenzake au mamlaka ya kiroho?

Kwa nini uendeleze uhusiano wa kudumu na mtu ambaye kila mada ya mazungumzo ni shida ya dada au kaka mmoja?

Tabia inaambukiza. Inajalisha marafiki ulio nao. Ikiwa una nia ya dhati juu ya mafanikio yako, chunguza marafiki wako na uhakikishe kuwa wale ambao mioyo yao iko kinyume na maagizo ya Mungu hawako katika kiini cha mzunguko wako wa ushawishi.

Hii haimaanishi kuwa huwapendi. Inamaanisha tu kuwa wakati mwingine, urafiki na watu wasio sahihi ni bei ghali sana kulipa, ikiwa inakugharimu nafasi ya mafanikio ambayo lazima uone kwa Mungu.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Mithali 11:13, 1 Wakorintho 15:33

UJUMBE MKUU: Tabia inaambukiza. Inajalisha marafiki ulio nao. Ikiwa una nia ya dhati juu ya mafanikio yako, chunguza marafiki wako na uhakikishe kuwa wale ambao mioyo yao iko kinyume na maagizo ya Mungu hawako katika kiini cha mzunguko wako wa ushawishi.

SALA: Baba, Nakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Umeniita kwa ukuu. Ninapata marafiki kulingana na ufahamu huu. Mzunguko wangu wa ndani ni wa watu wanaokujua na wanaokuogopa. Siwezi kamwe kupatikana kukaa katika shauri la wadharau kwa sababu hekima inaendelea kuwa midomoni mwangu. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
