Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 27:20-23 (KJV); But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

Few people live lives directed by the voice of God.

Oftentimes, many rely on what the majority thinks to make important decisions. But history has proven to us that the majority can be wrong.

Our theme scripture is an example. Who could have thought that a crowd of seemingly sane and right-thinking people could agree to sentence an innocent man to death and free a robber?

Examine the narrative. Pilate in an attempt to restore sanity to the situation asked, “What evil has he done?” In response, they shouted louder, “crucify Him!”

At that moment, His innocence was irrelevant.

One may think it is obvious that He who healed, delivered and fed them would be allowed to go free but no, they chose a renowned thief.

The majority should never be the sole vindication for your decisions. Choose, like Pilate’s wife to hear God. The Bible says of her that she told her husband, “Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.” (Matthew 27:19).

No matter how persuasive a crowd might be; no matter how loud their chanting, be the one who hears God before you act.

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Matthew 27:19, Isaiah 30:21

GOLDEN NUGGET: No matter how persuasive a crowd might be; no matter how loud their chanting, be the one who hears God before you act.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for the clarity of Your voice in my life. It does not matter how convincing the multitude may be, I choose to hear You and act by Your counsel in all things, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

KU BY’OKUWULIRA KATONDA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Matayo 27:20-23 (KJV); Naye bakabona abakulu n’abakadde ne babuulirira ebibiina okusaba Balaba, bazikirize Yesu. Naye ow’essaza n’addamu n’abagamba nti Ku abo bombi aliwa gwe mwagala mmubasumululire? Ne bagamba nti Balaba. Piraato n’abagamba nti Kale nnaakola ntya Yesu ayitibwa Kristo? Bonna ne bagamba nti Akomererwe. Naye n’agamba nti Lwaki? ekibi ky’akoze kiriwa? Naye ne bakaayana nnyo, ne bagamba nti, Akomererwe.

Bantu batono abatambulira mu bulamu obukulemberwa eddoboozi lya Katonda.

Emirundi egisinga, abantu bangi beesigama ku kki abasinga kye balowooza okukola okusalawo okw’omugaso. Naye ebyafaayo bitukakasizza nti abasinga obungi bayinza okubeera abakyamu.

Ekyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo kya kulabirako. Ani yandilowoozezza nti enkuyanja eyali erabika ng’elowooza obulungi era n’abantu abalowooza mu butuufu bayinza okukkaanya okusalira omuntu ataliiko musango ogw’okufa era ne bejjeereza omubbi?

Londoola ebyatuukawo byonna. Piraato mu kugezaako okuzza endowooza entuufu mu mbeera yabuuza, “ekibi kyakoze kiriwa?” Mu kuddamu, beeyongera kuwogganira waggulu, “Akomererwe!”

Mu kiseera ekyo, okubeera kwe nga talina musango kyali tekigasa.

Omuntu omu ayinza okulowooza nti kyangu nnyo, Oyo eyawonya, eyasumulula era nabaliisa yandikiriziddwa okuteebwa agende naye nedda, balondawo omubbi amanyikiddwa.

Abasinga obungi tebalina kubeera nsonga esinga ekakasa okusalawo kwo. Salawo, ng’omukyala wa Pilato okuwulira Katonda. Baibuli emwogerako nti yagamba bbaawe, omuntu oyo omutuukirivu tomukola kintu n’akatono: kubanga nnalumiddwa leero bingi mu kirooto ku lulwe.” (Matayo 27:19).

Ssi nsonga enkuyanja ensendasenda kyenkana ki; ssi nsonga bawogganira waggulu batya, beera oyo awulira Katonda nga tonakola.

Alleluia!

YONGERA OSOME: Matayo 27:19, Isaaya 30:21

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Ssi nsonga enkuyanja esendasenda kyenkana ki; ssi nsonga bawogganira waggulu batya, beera oyo awulira Katonda nga tonakola.

ESSAALA: Kitange omwagalwa, Nkwebaza olw’amazima gano. Weebale ku lw’obubangufu bw’eddoboozi Lyo mu bulamu bwange. Ssi nsonga enkuyanja ensendasenda etya, Nsalawo okuwulira Ggwe era n’okukolera ku kuteesa kwo mu bintu byonna, mu linnya erya Yesu Amiina.

HABY’OKUHURRA RUHANGA

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Mat 27:20-23 (KJV); Baitu banyakatagara abakuru n’abahanuuzi bakasoonasoona abantu kusaba Baraaba, baite Yesu. Omulemi omukuru yabakaguza ati: “Hali banu bombi, nimwenda mbalekerre oha?” Baamugarukamu bati; “Baraaba.” Nandiki Pilaato ati: “Kandi Yesu arukwetwa Kristo, mmukole ki?” Nukwo boona kugarukamu bati; “Abambwe ha musaraba!” Omulemi yabakaguza ati: “Habwaki? Akozire kibi ki?” Baitu bbo baatokera haiguru kukiraho bati: “Abambwe ha musaraba!”

Abantu bake muno aboomeera obwomezi obukuragirirwa iraka lya Ruhanga.

KUHUSU KUMSIKIA MUNGU

Mtume Grace Lubega

Mathayo 27:20-23 (KJV); Nao wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wakawashawishi mkutano ili wamtake Baraba, na kumwangamiza Yesu. Basi liwali akajibu, akawaambia, Mnataka niwafungulie yupi kati ya hawa wawili? Wakasema, Baraba. Pilato akawaambia, Basi nimtendeje Yesu aitwaye Kristo? Wakasema wote, Asulubiwe. Akasema, Kwanini? Ni ubaya gani alioutenda? Wakazidi sana kupiga kelele, wakisema, Na asulubiwe. Pilato akamtoa Yesu Asulubiwe.

Watu wachache wanaishi maisha yanayoongozwa kwa sauti ya Mungu.

Mara nyingi, wengi hutegemea mawazo na fikra za walio wengi katika kufanya maamuzi muhimu. Lakini historia imetuthibitishia kuwa walio wengi wanaweza kukosea.

Maandiko ya mada yetu ni mfano. Nani angefikiri kwamba umati wa watu wanaoonekana kuwa na akili timamu na wenye kufikiri sawa ungekubali kumhukumu kifo mtu asiye na hatia na kumwachilia mwizi?

Chunguza simulizi. Pilato katika kujaribu kurejesha hali timamu aliuliza, “Amefanya uovu gani?” Kwa kumjibu, walipiga kelele zaidi, “Msulubishe!”

Wakati huo, kutokuwa na hatia Kwake hakukuwa na maana.

Mtu anaweza kufikiri ni dhahiri kwamba Yeye aliyewaponya, kuwakomboa na kuwalisha angeruhusiwa kwenda huru lakini sivyo, walimchagua mwizi mashuhuri.

Umati haupaswi kamwe kuwa pekee unaothibitisha maamuzi yako. Chagua, kama mke wa Pilato, kumsikia Mungu. Biblia inasema juu yake kwamba alimwambia mume wake, “Usiwe na neno na yule mwenye haki; kwa sababu nimeteswa mengi leo katika ndoto kwa ajili yake (Mathayo 27:19).

Haijalishi ni kwa namna gani umati unaweza kuwa na ushawishi; haijalishi ni kwa namna gani wanapiga kelele kwa sauti, kuwa yule anayemsikia Mungu kabla hajatenda.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Mathayo 27:19, Isaya 30:21

UJUMBE MKUU: Haijalishi ni kwa namna gani umati unaweza kuwa na ushawishi; haijalishi ni kwa namna gani wanapiga kelele kwa sauti, kuwa yule anayemsikia Mungu kabla hajatenda.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Asante kwa uwazi wa sauti yako katika maisha yangu. Haijalishi namna gani umati unavyoweza kushawishi, ninachagua kukusikia na kutenda kwa ushauri wako katika mambo yote, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
