Apostle Grace Lubega

Revelation 3:20 (KJV); Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

A story is told of a man of God who struggled for a long time to be a part of a certain church. The dear Christians gave him the “left foot of fellowship” and practically threw him out. He sat outside the church distressed over his failure to belong. While there, he cried to the Lord, appealing for His help. The Lord whispered, “You are not alone. I have also been trying to get in for a very long time and they won’t let me in.”

That church was very much like the Laodicean church in our theme scripture.

Imagine a church with weekly services, an impressive building, vibrant praise and worship, interesting sermons and well-dressed congregants but the master is at the door. They are worshipping and praising but He is not in, He is at the door, knocking and hoping that He would be let in.

As Christians, we must examine ourselves whether we are so caught up in things to do in ministry yet the master is at the door. Are we praying while the master is at the door? Worshipping and yet the master we seek to worship is outside at the door? Conducting church programs with the master at the door?

There are churches in this day and age that cannot stand up against moral perversion because the government will shut them down if they speak. They are at the mercy of the state. Their master is at the door, He is not in their midst.

Ask yourself, how much of your ministry life is dictated by Christ? Is He truly at the centre of it all? It is possible to pray, fast, give and serve without Christ at the centre of what you do.

This calls for self-reflection, and deep self-honesty.

Jesus is not just our saviour, He is Lord too. He must dictate every aspect of our lives. Your life is no longer your own, it is His because He is the master.

FURTHER STUDY: Colossians 1:17, Acts 17:28

GOLDEN NUGGET: As Christians, we must examine ourselves whether we are so caught up in things to do in ministry yet the master is at the door. Ask yourself, how much of your ministry life is dictated by Christ? Is He truly at the centre of it all? Jesus is not just our saviour, He is Lord too.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. You are my world, my foundation and my future. I live my life in the understanding that You are at the centre of it all. You command my every thought, my days and my nights.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

MUKAMA KU LUGGI

Omutume Grace Lubega

Okubikkulirwa 3:20; Laba, nnyimiridde ku luggi, nneeyanjula: omuntu yenna bw’awulira eddoboozi lyange, n’aggulawo oluggi, nnaayingira gy’ali, era nnaaliira wamu naye, naye nange.

Olugero lugambibwa olw’omusajja wa Katonda eyalafuubana ebbanga ddene okubeera ekitundutundu ku kkanisa emu. Abakristaayo abo “ne batamwaniriza okukuŋaana  wamu nabo” era tebaakoma okwo n’okumukasuka nebamukasuka ebweru. Yatuula wabweru w’ekkanisa nga atabuddwa ku lw’okulemererwa okujeegatako.
Ng’akyali awo wabweru, y’akaabirira Mukama, ng’amusaba obuyambi. Mukama n’amugamba nti,” toli wekka, nange mbadde ngezaako okuyingira mu Kkanisa eno okumala ebbanga ddene naye nga  tebaŋŋanya”

Eyo ekkanisa y’efaananyiriza nnyo ekkanisa ey’Abalawodikiya mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo.

Ffumintiriza ku kkannisa erina enkuŋaana ezaabuli wiiki, okutendereza n’okusinza okwamaanyi, enjiri enyuma era n’abagoberezi abambala obulungi naye nga Mukama ali ku luggi. Basinza era batendereza naye nga tali mu kkanisa munda, Ali ku luggi, Akonkona era nga asuubira nti oba banaamuganya okuyingira.

Nga Abakristayo, tuteekeddwa okwekebera oba nga twemalidde nnyo mu bintu byetulina okukola mu buweereza naye nga Mukama tumulese ku luggi. Tusaba naye nga Mukama tumulese ku luggi?
Tusinza naye nga Mukama Gwe tunoonya okusinza tumulese ku luggi? Tuddukanya ekkanisa naye nga Mukama tumulese ku luggi?

Waliwo amakanisa ku mulembe guno olwa leero nga tegasobola kuwakanya kuweebuuka kwa mpisa kubanga gavumenti ejja kugaggalawo bwegakyogerako. Gayimiriddewo kulwa kusaasira kwa Ggwanga. Mukama waago gamulese ku luggi, Tali mu massekkati gaago.

Weebuzeemu, obulamu bw’obuweereza bwo bwenkanaki obufugibwa Kristo? Ddala yaali mu massekatti ga byonna? Kisoboka okusaba, okusiiba, okuwaayo era n’okuweereza nga Kristo tali mu masekatti g’ebyo byokola.

Kino kikwetaaza okwetunulamu neweekebera munda ebuziba muggwe era n’oba wamazima gyoli.

Yesu si  mulokozi waffe kyokka wabula era Ye Mukama waffe . Alina okufuga buli kitundu ku bulamu bwaffe. Obulamu bwo tebukyaali bubwo wabula bubwe kubanga ye Mukama wo.

YONGERA OSOME: Abakkolosaayi 1:17,Ebikolwa 17:28.

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Nga Abakristayo, tuteekeddwa okwekebera oba nga twemalidde nnyo mu bintu byetulina okukola mu buwereza naye nga Mukama tumulese ku luggi.Yesu si  mulokozi waffe kyokka wabula era Ye Mukama waffe .

ESSAALA: Kitange, nkwebaza olw’Ekigambo kino.  Gwe byonna gyendi, gwe musingi gwange era gwe biseera byange eby’omumaaso. Ntambuliza obulamu bwange mu kutegeera nti oli mu massekkatti g’ebintu byonna. Ofuga buli kirowoozo kyange, ennaku n’ebiro byange. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

MUKAMA AHA RWIGI

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Okushuuruurirwa kwa Yohaana 3:20
Reeba, nyemereire aha rwigi, nindukongoota niinyiguza; omuntu weena, ku araahurire eiraka ryangye yaanyigurira, niinyija kutaaha omu nju ye, ndye nawe, nawe arye naanye.

Hariho ekirikugambwa aha musheija wa Ruhanga owagyerizeho obwiire buraingwa kwegeita aha kanisa. Abeishemwe bakamwiiriza hangahari bashisha nk’abamubinga omu kanisa. Yashutama aheeru y’ekanisa agwiirwe kubi ahabw’okuremwa kuba omwe ahari bo. Ku yabaire ari aho, yatakira Mukama arikushaba ngu amuhweere. Mukama yamugira ati, “Tori wenka. Nanye ntwiire ningyezaho kutaahamu kumara obwiire buraingwa kwonka tibarikunyikiriza.”

Egyo ekanisa ekaba eri nk’ekanisa ey’omuri Laodikea eyi twashoma omu mutwe gw’ebyahandikirwe byaitu.

Teekateeka ekanisa eine okushaba kwa buri saabiiti, ekizimbe ky’omutaano, okuhimbisa n’okuramya kw’omuhimbo, okuburira kurungi n’abeishemwe barikujwaara gye kwonka Mukama ari aha rwigi. Nibaramya nibahimbisa kwonka tarimu, ari aha rwigi, narukongoota nayiguza n’amatsiko ngu akaabaasa kwiikirizibwa kutahamu.

Nk’abakristayo, nitwetaaga kweshwiijima kureeba yaba tukwaatiirwe munonga omu buheereza kandi obwo Mukama ari aha rwigi. Tukaaba nitushaba kandi obwo Mukama ari aha rwigi? Tukaaba nituramya kandi obwo Mukama ou turikusherura kuramya ari aheeru aha rwigi? Nitweyongyerayo n’emigyenzo yaitu y’ekanisa tureka Mukama ari aha rwigi?

Hariho amakanisa omu bwiire obu agatarikubaasa kwemerera gakahakanisa emicwe ehabire ahabw’okuba abeebembezi b’eihanga nibaza kubakinga ku baragambe. Bari aha mbabazi z’eihanga. Mukama waabo ari aha rwigi, tari ahagati yaabo.

Yebuuze, nikicwekaki eky’obuheereza bw’amagara gaawe ekiri kutegyekwa Kristo? Buzimazima, ari ahagati yaago goona? Nikibaasika kushaba, kusiiba, kuhayo ebiconco n’okuheereza kandi obwo Kristo atari ahagati y’ebyo ebi orikukora.

Eki nikituhiga kweshwijuma, kandi tukegirira amazima kuruga omu mutima.

Yesu ti Mujuni waitu kwonka, ni Mukama waitu. Aine kutegyeka buri kimwe kyoona ekikwatiraine n’amagara gaitu. Amagara gaawe tigakiri gaawe, naagye ahabw’okuba niwe Mukama waawe.

SHOMA NEEBI: Abakolosai 1:17, Ebyakozirwe Entumwa 17:28

EZAABU: Nk’abakristayo, nitwetaaga kweshwiijuma kureeba yaba tukwaatiirwe munonga omu buheereza kandi obwo Mukama ari aha rwigi. Yebuuze, nikicwekaki eky’obuheereza bw’amagara gaawe ekiri kutegyekwa Kristo? Buzimazima, ari ahagati yaago goona? Yesu ti Mujuni waitu kwonka, ni Mukama waitu.

OKUSHABA: Taata, ninkusiima ahabw’ekigambo eki. Niiwe ensi yangye, omusingye gwangye n’ebiro by’omumaisho byangye. Amagara gangye gari omu kwetegyereza ngu ori ahagati y’ebintu byoona. Noragiira buri kiteekateeko kyangye, ebiro byangye eby’omwihangwe nanyekiro. Omwiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.
