Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 11:1 (KJV); And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

When the disciples observed Christ’s life of prayer, there was something about it that was worth learning from. They could not have asked Him to teach them to pray if they had not observed that His life of prayer was one that yielded results.

In our world today, there are people who have spent years praying over the same thing but that thing has never changed. They have closeted themselves in rooms for hours on end and some have seen their situations even worsen.

Why would someone pray endlessly and tirelessly and yet not have the results of a praying person? 

Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” It is spiritual insanity to keep within a lifestyle of prayer that is clearly not yielding the results that you desire.

The problem is not prayer itself, it is how you are praying. If you do not have the results of prayer, you must pause and honestly ask yourself whether you are praying the right way.

Put aside the pride that makes you assume that you know what you are doing. For a moment, do not delude yourself into thinking that God in His own time will intervene. Are you really praying right?

If your prayer life is fruitless, like the disciples, you must make the decision to learn how to pray. Ask the Spirit of God to teach you the hows of prayer. Study the Word of God on prayer. Read books and listen to rightful teachings about prayer.   

Answers to prayer do not come because of the length of time spent in prayer, even though lengthy prayers have their place. Answers to prayer come because of the revelation and understanding that a man has in prayer. May the Lord teach you to pray.

FURTHER STUDY: James 5:16, Romans 8:26-27

GOLDEN NUGGET: Answers to prayer do not come because of the length of time spent in prayer, even though lengthy prayers have their place. Answers to prayer come because of the revelation and understanding that a man has in prayer. 

PRAYER: My Father, I thank You for this word. Thank You for teaching me how to pray. I do not pray out of mere emotion but out of revelation. My life of prayer is filled with results because I have received the understanding of how to pray. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

TUYIGIRIZE OKUSABA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Lukka 11:1 (KJV); Awo olwatuuka bwe yali ng’ali mu kifo ng’asaba, bwe yamala, ku bayigirizwa be omu n’amugamba nti Mukama waffe, tuyigirize okusaba, era nga Yokaana bwe yayigirizanga abayigirizwa be.

Abayigirizwa bwe bekkeenneennya obulamu bwa Kristo obw’okusaba, waliwo ekintu ku bwo ekyali kyetaagisa okubuyigirako. Tebandimusabye kubasomesa okusaba singa baali tebekkeenneennyeza nti obulamu Bwe obw’essaala bwali obwo obubala ebibala.

Mu nsi yaffe olwaleero, waliwo abantu abamaze emyaka nga basabira ekintu kye kimu naye ekintu tekikyukanga. Beesibidde mu bisenge okumala essaawa ennyingi kyokka abamu balabye embeera zaabwe zeeyongedde kusajjuka.

Lwaki omuntu asaba obutakoma era obutakoowa kyokka n’aba nga talina bibala eby’omuntu omusabi?

Albert Einstein lumu yagamba, “Obulalu kwe kukola ekintu kye kimu ng’okiddiηηana kyokka n’osuubira ebibala eby’enjawulo.” Obulalu obw’omwoyo kwe okwekuumira mu bulamu obw’essaala obulabikira ddala nga tebubala bibala by’oyagala.

Ekizibu si ssaala yennyini, wabula engeri gy’osabamu. Bw’oba nga tolina bibala eby’essaala, olina okuyimiriramu weebuuze mu bwesimbu oba nga ddala osaba mu ngeri entuufu.

Teeka wabbali amalala agakuleetera okulowooza nti omanyi ki ky’okola. Malako akaseera nga teweerimba mu ndowooza nti Katonda mu budde Bwe ajja kuviirayo. Weebuuze ddala osaba mu ngeri entuufu?

Bw’oba ng’obulamu bwo obw’essaala tebubala bibala, ng’abayigirizwa, olina okukola okusalawo okuyiga engeri ey’okusabamu. Saba Omwoyo wa Katonda akuyigirize engeri ez’okusabamu. Soma Ekigambo kya Katonda ku Ssaala. Soma ebitabo era owulirize ensomesa entuufu ezikwata ku kusaba.

Eby’okuddibwamu eri essaala tebijja kubanga nti omazze obudde obuwanvu mu ssaala, newankubadde ng’essaala empanvu zirina ekifo kyazo. Eby’okuddibwamu eri essaala bijja olw’okubikkulirwa n’okutegeera omuntu by’alina mu kusaba. Nsaba Mukama akusomese okusaba.

YONGERA OSOME: Yakobo 5:16, Abaruumi 8:26-27

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Eby’okuddibwamu eri essaala tebijja kubanga nti omazze obudde obuwanvu mu ssaala, newankubadde ng’essaala empanvu zirina ekifo kyazo. Eby’okuddibwamu eri essaala bijja olw’okubikkulirwa n’okutegeera omuntu by’alina mu kusaba.

ESSAALA: Kitange, Nkwebaza olw’Ekigambo kino. Weebale okunsomesa engeri ey’okusabamu. Sisaba nga nsinziira ku ngeri gye mpuliramu wabula mu kubikkulirwa. Obulamu bwange obw’essaala bujjudde ebibala kubanga nfunye okutegeera okw’engeri gye nnina okusabamu. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

TWEGYESE OKUSHABA

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Luka 11:1 (KJV); Yesu akaba ari omu mwanya gumwe naashaba; ku yaaherize, omwe aha beegi be yaamugira ati: Mukama waitu, twegyese okushaba, nk’oku Yohaana yaayegyeise abeegi be.

Abeegi ba Yesu kubareebire amagara ga Yesu g’okushaba, hakaba hariho eky’okweega aho. Baka batakwiija kumushaba ngu abegyese okushaba kurinogira ngu bakaba batareebire ngu amagara gye g’okushaba nigo gayanire ebyaana.

Omunsi yaitu egi, hariho abantu abamazire emyaka myingi barikushabira ekintu kimwe kwonka batakareebaga empinduka. Bekingireine omubishengye kumara eshaaha nyingi kandi enshonga zaabo zatabukira kimwe.

Ahabwenki omuntu nashaba atarikuheza kandi akabura kugarukwamu eshaara ze nk’omushabi?

Albert Einstein akagira ati, “Obugwiraro n’okuguma nokora ekintu kimwe kandi obwo orikwenda ngu oyane ebyaana bitarikushushana.” N’obugwiraro bw’Omwoyo kuguma omu kushaba okutarikwaana ebyaana ebi orikweteenga.

Enshonga ti shaara, kureka n’okworikushaba. Waba otaine ebyaana by’okushaba kwaawe, oshemereire kutsibamu kakye okebuuza yaba noshaba omu muringo oguhikire.

Ta aharubaju okwetunguura okurikukuteekateekyesa ngu nomanya eki orikukora. Reka kuteekateeka ngu Ruhanga omu bwiire bwe naza kuyamba. Noshaba omu muringo oguhikire?

Okushaba kwaawe kwaba kutarikwaana ebyaana, nk’abeegi, oshemereire kucwamu kweega okushaba. Gambira Omwoyo wa Ruhanga kukwegyesa okubarikushaba. Yeega Ekigambo kya Ruhanga aha kushaba. Shoma ebitabo kandi ohurikirize enyegyesa ehikire aha kushaba.

Okugarukwamu eshaara tikirikubaho ahabw’obwiire obu orikumaara omu shaara, n’obu eshaara ndaingwa ziraabe zeine omugasho gwaazo. Okugarukwamu eshaara nikibaho ahabw’okushuuruurirwa n’okwetegyereza oku omuntu aine omu kushaba. Mukama abegyese okushaba.

SHOMA NEEBI: Yakobo 5:16, Abarooma 8:26-27

EZAABU: Okugarukwamu eshaara tikirikubaho ahabw’obwiire obu orikumaara omu shaara, n’obu eshaara ndaingwa ziraabe zeine omugasho gwaazo. Okugarukwamu eshaara nikibaho ahabw’okushuuruurirwa n’okwetegyereza oku omuntu aine omu kushaba.

OKUSHABA: Taata Omukundwa, Ninkusiima ahabw’ekigambo eki. Ninkusiima ahabw’okunyegyesa kushaba. Tindikushaba kurigirira okundikwehurira kureka ahabw’okushuuruurirwa. Amagara gangye g’okushaba gaijwiire ebyaana ahabw’okuba ntungire okwetegyereza kw’okushaba. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.

TWEGESE OKUSABA

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Luka 11:1 (KJV); Yesu akaba ali mu kiikaro kimu naasaba; obu yamazire, omu ha beegesebwa be yamugambira ati: “MUKAMA waitu, twegese okusaba nka Yohaana oku yayegeseze abeegesebwa be.”

Abegeswa obubaarozire obwomezi bwa Kristo obw’okusaba, bwaali bunyina ekintu ekikaba kisemeriire kubwegaho. Tibakubaire nibamusaba kubegesa kusaba kakuba babaire batarozire ngu obwomezi bwe obw’okusaba bukaba obukuzara ebirugwamu.

Habwaki omuntu asaba obutaleka kandi atakujwaha kandi kunu tatungire ebirugwamu by’omuntu omusabi?

Albert Einstein kara na kara akagamba, “Iraro kiri kukora ekintu nikyo kimu n’okigarukanizamu kandi okanihira ebirugwamu ebikwahukana.” Liri iraro ery’omwoyo kw’ikara omunsaba ekwolekezakimu tekuzara ebirugwamu by’okugonza.

Ekizibu tikuli kusaba nkakwo, kiri omulingo gw’okusaba. Bw’otakuba n’ebirugwamu bw’okusaba, osemerire kuhuumuzamu kandi mazimakwo oyehabuze bw’oraba n’osaba omu muhanda oguhikire.

Teka harubaju emyehembo eyerukuletera kutekereza ngu omanyire kyoli mukukora. Habwakaanya kake, otebiihabiiha notekereza ngu Ruhanga mukaire Ke aija kuramura. Malikwo ohikire mukusaba?

Obwomezi bwawe obw’okusaba buraba butaina kijuma, nk’abegeswa, oina kusaraho kwega omulingo gw’okusaba. Saba Omwoyo wa Ruhanga akwegese emiringo y’okusaba. Soma ekigambo kya Ruhanga hali okusaba. Soma ebitabu hamu n’okuhuuliriza enyegesa ezihikire hali okusaba

Ebigarukwamu hali okusaba tibiija habw’oburaira bw’akaire akamazirwe mu kusaba, n’obukyakubaire oburaira bw’esaara bwina ekikaro kyabwo. Ebigarukwamu hali okusaba biija habw’okusukurwa hamu n’okwetegereza omuntu kwaba nakwo omukusaba. Mukama akwegese okusaba.

GALIHYA N’OSOMA: Yakobo 5:16, Abaruumi 8:26-27.

EBIKURU MUBYOONA: Ebigarukwamu hali okusaba tibiija habw’oburaira bw’akaire akamazirwe mu kusaba, n’obukyakubaire oburaira bw’esaara bwina ekikaaro kyabwo. Ebigarukwamu hali okusaba biija habw’okusukurwa hamu n’okwetegereza omuntu kwaba nakwo omukusaba.

TUFUNDISHE KUSALI

Mtume Grace Lubega

Luka 11:19KJV); Ikawa alipokuwa mahali fulani akiomba, alipokwisha, mmoja katika wanafunzi wake alimwambia, Bwana, tufundishe sisi kusali, kama vile Yohana alivyowafundisha wanafunzi wake.

Wanafunzi wa Yesu walipotafakari maisha ya Kristo ya sala, walitambua kuwa kulikuwa na kitu kuhusu maisha hayo ambacho walistahili kujifunza kutoka kwake. Hawangeweza kumwomba awafundishe kusali iwapo wangeona kwamba maisha yake ya maombi hayakuwa yakileta matokeo ya kupendeza.

Katika ulimwengu wetu wa leo, kuna watu ambao wametumia miaka mingi kuomba kuhusu jambo lile lile lakini jambo hilo halijabadilika kamwe. Wamejifungia vyumbani kwa saa nyingi na wengine wameona hali zao kuwa mbaya zaidi.

Kwa nini mtu aombe bila kikomo na bila kuchoka na bado asiwe na matokeo ya mtu anayeomba?

Albert Einstein aliwahi kusema, “Kichaa ni kufanya kitu kimoja mara kwa mara na kutarajia matokeo tofauti.” Ni ukichaa wa kiroho kubaki katika mtindo fulani wa maisha ya maombi ambao ni wazi hautoi matokeo unayotamani.

Tatizo sio maombi yenyewe, ni jinsi unavyoomba. Ikiwa huna matokeo ya maombi, ni lazima utulie na ujiulize kwa uaminifu ikiwa unaomba kwa njia ifaayo.

Weka kando kiburi kinachokufanya ufikirie kuwa unajua unachofanya. Kwa muda kidogo, usijidanganye kwa kufikiria kwamba Mungu kwa wakati Wake ataingilia kati. Unaomba kweli?

Ikiwa maisha yako ya maombi hayana matunda, lazima ufanye uamuzi wa kujifunza jinsi ya kuomba kama wanafunzi walivyofanya. Mwombe Roho wa Mungu akufundishe jinsi ya maombi. Jifunze Neno la Mungu kwenye maombi. Soma vitabu na usikilize mafundisho sahihi kuhusu maombi.

Majibu ya maombi hayaji kwa sababu ya urefu wa muda unaotumika katika maombi, ingawa maombi marefu yana nafasi yake. Majibu ya maombi huja kwa sababu ya ufunuo na ufahamu alionao mtu katika maombi. Bwana akufundishe kuomba.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yakobo 5:16, Warumi 8:26-27

UJUMBE MKUU: Majibu ya maombi hayaji kwa sababu ya urefu wa muda unaotumika katika maombi, ingawa maombi marefu yana nafasi yake. Majibu ya maombi huja kwa sababu ya ufunuo na ufahamu alionao mtu katika maombi.

SALA: Baba Yangu, nakushukuru kwa neno hili. Asante kwa kunifundisha jinsi ya kuomba. Siombi kwa hisia tu bali kwa ufunuo. Maisha yangu ya maombi yamejaa matokeo kwa sababu nimepata ufahamu wa jinsi ya kuomba. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
