Apostle Grace Lubega

John 18:37-38 (KJV); Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

When Pilate asked, ‘what is truth?’, he touched one of the fundamental inquiries of ancient and modern philosophy.

Over the course of human history, truth has been theorised, debated, and rationalised. But, regardless of the countless theories, numerous debates and the rational expositions of truth, the Bible answers this question infallibly.

The truth is not a theory or a philosophy, the truth is a person. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “ I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

In Ephesians 4:21, the Bible reveals that the truth is in Jesus.

For any man on a quest for truth in any form or in any area of his life, this is the starting point. Everything within the mystery of Christ defines truth and anything outside Him is not true.

The world will present you with facts about your health, about your finances, about the economies of this world and about the dynamics of living. If facts are presented outside the reality of Christ, they are just that, facts.

What makes things factual is that we recognise them with our physical senses within the confines of the physical world. However, simply because something is factual does not necessarily make it true.

What makes things true is that they find their basis and reality in the person of Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: What makes things factual is that we recognise them with our physical senses within the confines of the physical world. However, simply because something is factual does not necessarily make it true. What makes things true is that they find their basis and reality in the person of Jesus Christ.

PRAYER: My loving Father, I thank You for this knowledge. I am a child of truth, begotten by the incorruptible Word of God. The realities of my life begin in and with You. I look beyond any facts and what the world presents before my eyes but lift my eyes to You, for my real life is in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

AMAZIMA KYE KI?

Omutume Grace Lubega

Yokaana 18:37-38 (KJV); Awo Piraato n’amugamba nti Kale ggwe kabaka? Yesu n’addamu nti Oyogedde, kubanga nze Kabaka. Nze nnazaalirwa ekyo, n’ekyo kye kyandeeta mu nsi, ntegeeze amazima. Buli ow’amazima awulira eddoboozi lyange. Piraato n’amugamba nti Amazima kye ki? Bwe yamala okwogera ekyo, n’afuluma nate n’agenda awali Abayudaaya, n’abagamba nti Siraba musango ku ye.

Piraato bwe yabuuza; ‘amazima kye ki?’, yakwata ku kubuuliriza okukulu ennyo okw’okuteesa okwayita era n’okwomulembe guno.

Mu bbanga ly’olugendo lw’ebyafaayo by’omuntu, amazima gawandiikibwako ebirowoozo ebisinziira ku nnono ezzikirizibwa awamu okugannyonnyola, gakubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo, era gaweereddwa ensonga ezigafuula amazima. Naye, newankubadde nga waliwo ebiwaandiiko by’ebirowoozo ku mazima ebitabalika, okukubaganya ebirowoozo kungi, era n’okunnyonnyola kw’ensonga ezifuula amazima amazima kungi, Baibuli eddamu ekibuuzo kino mu ngeri entuufu ennyo era etaliimu nsobi wadde.

Amazima ssi biwandiiko bya ndowooza ezinnyonnyola amazima okusinziira ku nnono ezzikirizibwa awamu oba okuteesa, amazima muntu. Mu Yokaana 14:6, Yesu yagamba, “Nze kkubo, AMAZIMA, era Obulamu: tewali ajja eri Kitange, wabula ng’ayita mu nze.”

Mu Abaefeeso 4:21, Baibuli ebikkula nti amazima gali mu Yesu.

Eri omuntu yenna ali mu kunoonya amazima mu ngeri yonna oba mu kitundu kyonna eky’obulamu, kino ky’ekifo aw’okutandikira. Buli kiri munda mu kyama Kya Kristo kinnyonnyola amazima era ekintu kyonna ekiri wabweru We si kituufu.

Ensi ejja kukuwa ebikkirizibwa ng’amazima ku by’obulamu bwo, ku bikwata ku by’ensimbi zo, ku bikwata ku by’enfuna by’ensi eno era n’engeri y’okutambuzaamu obulamu. Singa ebyo ebitwalibwa ng’amazima byanjulibwa wabweru w’obwannamaddala bwa Kristo, era ddala ekyo kyebiri, ebitwalibwa ng’amazima.

Ebintu ekibireetera okutwalibwa ng’amazima kiri nti tubitegeera n’obusimu bwaffe obw’omubiri mu njegoyego z’ensi erabika. Naye, ku lw’okubanga nti ekintu kitwalibwa ng’amazima tekikifuula nti mazima.

Ekifuula ebintu okuba amazima kiri nti ensibuko era n’obwannamaddala bwabyo bisangibwa mu Yesu Kristo.

Alleluya!

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Ebintu ekibireetera okutwalibwa ng’amazima kiri nti tubitegeera n’obusimu bwaffe obw’omubiri mu njegoyego z’ensi erabika.

ESSAALA: Kitange Omwagalwa, Nkwebaza olw’okumanya kuno. Ndi mwana wa mazima, nzaliddwa n’ekigambo Kya Katonda ekitaggwawo. Obwannamaddala bw’obulamu bwange butandikira mu Ggwe era buli naawe. Ntunula okusukka ku bitwalibwa ng’amazima byonna era ensi byendaga mu maaso gange naye nsitula amaaso gange Gy’oli, obulamu bwange obwaddala buli mu Ggwe. Mu linnya erya Yesu Amiina.

AMAZIMA NENKI?

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Yohaana 18:37-38 (KJV); Pilaato yaamugira ati: Biri shi naiwe ori Omugabe? Yesu yaagarukamu ati: Eki waagamba nikyo, ndi Omugabe. Ahakuba nikyo naiziire omu nsi, ngu mpamye amazima. Omuntu weena ow’amazima ahurira eiraka ryangye. Pilaato yaamubuuza ati: Amazima n’enki? Ku yaaherize kukigamba, yaashohora, yaagaruka aha Bayudaaya, yaabagira ati: Tindikumureebaho rubanja.

Pilaato kuyaabuurize ati, ‘amazima nenki?’, akakwaata aha bibuuzo ebirikutandikirwaho omu mishomo ya kare hamwe n’ey’ebiro ebi.

Omu byafaayo by’amagara g’obuntu, amazima bagacwiire emishomo, baagahaajaanaho kandi baagashoboorora omu magyezi. Kwonka n’omu mishomo egyo etarikuhwayo, okuhaajaana kwingi hamwe n’okushoboorora kw’amazima omu magyezi, Baiburi neegarukamu ekibuuzo eki omu muringo oguhikiire kimwe.

Amazima ti bigambo ningashi emishomo, amazima n’omuntu. Omu kitabo kya Yohaana 14:6, Yesu akagira ati, “Yesu yaamugambira ati: Niinye muhanda, N’AMAZIMA, n’amagara; tihariho oija ahari Isheboona, atarabire muriinye.”

Omu kitabo ky’Abaefeeso 4:21, Baiburi neshuuruura ngu amazima gari omuri Yesu.

Aha muntu weena orikusherura amazima omu muringo gwoona ningashi omu kicweeka kyoona eky’amagara gye, obu nibwo butandikiro. Buri kimwe ekiri omu naama ya Kristo nikishoboorora amazima kandi ekintu kyoona ekitari muri we ti mazima.

Ensi naija kukugambira ebirikutwaarwa nk’amazima aha magara gaawe, aha mpiiha zaawe, aha by’enkurakurana eby’ensi egi hamwe n’aha ku oshemereire kutwarizamu amagara. Ebyo ebirikutwaarwa nk’amazima byaaba bitashoboreirwe omu mazima ga Kristo, nibiba biri bityo buzima, ebirikutwaarwa nk’amazima.

Ekirikureetera ebintu byatwaarwa nk’amazima n’okugira ngu nitubyetegyereza n’enteekateeka yaitu ey’omubiri omu myatano y’ensi erikureebwa. Kwonka, ahabw’okugira ngu ekintu nikitwaarwa nk’amazima tikirikukikora mazima.

Ekirikureetera ebintu kuba amazima n’okugira ngu obutandikiro n’amazima gaabyo nibiruga omuri Yesu Kristo.

Hallelujah!

AMANANU NIKYO KIKI?

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Yohana 18:37-38 (KJV); Pirato yamugambira ati Kandi iwe oli Mukama? Yesu yagarukamu ati Nukwo ogambire, baitu nyowe ndi omukama. Nyowe nikyo nazalirwe, nikyo naizire omunsi, ndange amananu. Owamananu wena ahh’ra iraka lyange. Pirato yamugambira ati Amananu nikyo kiki? Obuyamazire kugambe eki yagaruka naturuka, yagenda hali Abayudaya, yabagambira ati, Tindukubona omusango haluwe,

Pirato obuyahabwiize, “amananu nikyo kiki?, akakwata hakimu habihabuzo ebyensonga omubyenyegesa by’enyikara y’abantu ebyakara n’ebyahati.

Omurugendo rw’ebyafaayo by’abantu, amananu gatiirwe omubuhandike, gahanu’rwaho, kandi gaiganizibwa n’obuntu. Baitu, otafireyo habuhandike katabarwa, okuhanuura nyabwingi kandi n’okwinganiza obuntu amananu omukugaseerra’ho, Baibuli ekihabuzo kinu ekigarukamu hatali buhabi.

Amananu tigali buhandike rundi ebyenyegesa hanyikara y’abantu, amananu ali muntu. Mu Yohana 14:6, Yesu akagamba, “Ninyowe muhanda NAMANANU nobwomezi: busaho aija hali Isenyowe rundi arabire omuli nyowe.”

Omu Abefeso 4:21, Baibuli esukura ngu amananu niwe Yesu.

Hali omuntu wena anyakuseerra amananu omu buli mulingo gwona rundi amumwanya gwona ogw’obwomezi bwe, egi niyo entandikiro. Buli kyona omunsita ya Kristo kisoboora amananu kandi kyona ekinyakuli aheeru Ye tikiri mananu.

Ensi eija kuha ebinyakubaho haby’obwomezi bwawe, haby’esente zawe, haby’enkurakurana byensi egi kandi na hamikoorre y’okwomeerra. Kuba ebinyakubaho biteebwa aheeru y’eky’amazima kya Kristo, biri eki kwonka, ebinyakubaho.

Ekiretereza ebintu kuba ebinyakuroho kiri nti tubimanyiira nempuurra zaitu ezinyakurorwa’ho omumitaano yensi enyakurorwa’ho. Ahandi, habwokuba ekintu kiri ekinyakubaho tikimara gakifoora mananu.

Ekifoora ebintu by’amananu kiri ngu ebintu ebi bitunga okwemeerra kandi n’eky’amazima omu Yesu Kristo.

KWELI NI NINI?

Mtume Grace Lubega

Yohana 18:37-38 ( KJV); Basi Pilato akamwambia, Wewe u mfalme basi? Yesu akajibu, Wewe wasema, kwa kuwa mimi ni mfalme. Mimi nimezaliwa kwa ajili ya haya, na kwa ajili ya haya mimi nalikuja ulimwenguni, ili niishuhudie kweli. Kila aliye wa hiyo kweli hunisikia sauti yangu. Pilato akamwambia, Kweli ni nini? Naye akiisha kusema neno hilo akawatokea Wayahudi tena, akawaambia, Mimi sioni hatia yo yote kwake.

Pilato alipouliza, ‘kweli ni nini?’, aligusa mojawapo ya maswali ya kimsingi ya falsafa ya zama za kale na ya kisasa.

Katika historia ya mwanadamu, kweli imefikiriwa, kujadiliwa, na kusawazishwa. Lakini, bila kujali nadharia zisizohesabika, mijadala mingi na maelezo ya busara ya ukweli, Biblia inajibu swali hili bila kosa.

Kweli sio nadharia au falsafa, kweli ni mtu. Katika Yohana 14:6, Yesu alisema, “Yesu akamwambia, Mimi ndimi njia, NA KWELI, na uzima; mtu haji kwa Baba, ila kwa njia ya mimi.”

Katika Waefeso 4:21, Biblia inafunua kwamba kweli iko katika Yesu.

Kwa yeyote anayetafuta kweli kwa namna yoyote au katika eneo lolote la maisha yake, hii ndiyo hatua ya kwanza. Kila kitu ndani ya fumbo la Kristo kinafafanua kweli na chochote kilicho nje Yake si kweli.

Ulimwengu utakuonyesha ukweli kuhusu afya yako, kuhusu fedha zako, kuhusu uchumi wa dunia hii na kuhusu mienendo ya maisha. Ikiwa ukweli utawasilishwa nje ya uhalisi wa Kristo, basi ni huo tu, ukweli (wala si kweli).

Kinachofanya mambo kuwa ya ukweli ni kwamba tunayatambua kwa hisia zetu za kimwili ndani ya mipaka ya ulimwengu wa kimwili. Hata hivyo, kwa sababu tu jambo fulani ni la ukweli haimaanishi kuwa ni kweli.

Kinachofanya mambo kuwa kweli ni kwamba yanapata msingi na uhalisi wake katika utu wa Yesu Kristo.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waefeso 4:21, Yohana 17:17

UJUMBE MKUU: Kinachofanya mambo kuwa ya ukweli ni kwamba tunayatambua kwa hisia zetu za kimwili ndani ya mipaka ya ulimwengu wa kimwili. Hata hivyo, kwa sababu tu jambo fulani ni la ukweli haimaanishi kuwa ni kweli.

SALA: Baba Yangu, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Ninasimama kithabiti katika uhalisi wa Neno Lako lililo Kweli. Maisha yangu yamepangwa katika imani. Haijalishi mazingira yanayonijia, ninachagua vita vizuri kwa sababu ndivyo tunavyoshinda. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
