Apostle Grace Lubega

Genesis 4:8 (KJV); And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

The Bible is full of stories of people who suffered pain, betrayal and utter disappointment.

As you look at these stories, understand them from the context of family. Adam and Eve were the first example of a family in the history of humanity. They made a grave mistake by disobeying God. The result is that by one man, death reigned over all men. It is in Adam’s family that we see the first death, a brother killing a fellow brother. I imagine how hard it was for Adam and Eve during that time, because they grieved Abel who died and Cain who was banished by God. That day, Adam and Eve lost not just one but two sons.

How about Job and his household? Here is the story of a man who lost all his children and all his wealth. Think about Job’s wife and what it means for a mother to bury ten of her children and to watch her husband moan with unbearable pain.

How about David? He was raised by a father who did not recognise the mantle on his life. He changed households at a young age. In his new household, Saul sought to kill him, disillusioning the young man’s ideas of fatherhood.

David’s own house had its issues. His son Amnon rapes Tamar. Absalom killed Amnon.

The list is endless. Hosea had a cheating wife. Noah’s son betrayed him. Abraham’s wife was barren.

I recount these stories here, not to paint doom and gloom but to tell you that what is happening to your family is not new. From time immemorial, families have been through the fires of suffering.

What then must you learn? God still remains the God of family. For the loss of Abel, He gave Seth. For Job’s loss, He doubled his previous wealth and substance. For David’s rejection, He elevated his mantle and made him king. For Hosea, he restored his wife. For Abraham, He gave a child and descendants of all nations.

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Job 1:13-22, Romans 5:12

GOLDEN NUGGET: What is happening to your family is not new.  From time immemorial, families have been through the fires of suffering. God still remains the God of family.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I know that You have good plans for my family. It does not matter what we have been through. You have good and great plans for us. My family soars and prevails over all forms of trial and suffering. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Olubereberye 4:8 (KJV); Kayini n’ayogera ne Abiri muganda we. Awo bwe baali nga bali mu nnimiro, Kayini n’alyoka agolokokera ku Abiri muganda we n’amutta.

Baibuli ejjudde engero z’abantu abaalumizibwa, baaliibwamu enkwe n’okuyibwayo okw’enkukunala.

Ng’otunuulira engero zino, zitegeerere mu kifaananyi ky’amaka. Adamu ne Kaawa baali eky’okulabirako ekisooka eky’amaka mu byafaayo by’omuntu. Baakola ensobi ennene nga bajeemera Katonda. Ekyavaamu kiri nti olw’omuntu omu, okufa kwafugira waggulu w’abantu bonna. Kyali mu maka ga Adamu mwetwalaba okufa okwasooka, ow’oluganda ng’atta muganda we. Ndowoozamu engeri gye kyali ekizibu eri Adamu ne Kaawa mu kiseera ekyo, kubanga baanyolwa olwa Abiri eyali afudde era ne Kayini eyali akolimiddwa Katonda. Olunaku olwo, Adamu ne Kaawa baafiirwa ssi omu naye abatabani babiri.

Ate Yobu n’amaka ge? Wano waliwo olugero olw’omusajja eyafiirwa abaana be bonna era n’ebyobugagga bye byonna. Lowooza ku mukazi wa Yobu era kye kitegeeza eri maama okuziika abaana kkumi ku baana be n’okutunuulira omwami we ng’akungubaga n’obulumi obutagumiikirizika.

Ate Dawudi? Yakuzibwa taata eyali tassaamu kitiibwa kuyitibwa ku bulamu bwe. Yakyusa amaka ku myaka emito. Mu maka amapya, Sawulo yanoonya okumutta, n’amalamu amaanyi endowooza y’omulenzi omuto ku bw’obwataata.

Amaka ga Dawudi nago gaalina ebizibu by’ago. Mutabani we Amunoni yakwata Tama. Abusaalomu yatta Amunoni.

Olunyiriri teruggwaayo. Koseya yalina omukazi omubalizi. Mutabani wa Nuuwa yamulyamu olukwe. Mukazi wa Ibulayimu yali mugumba.

Nziriηηana engero zino wano, ssi kusiiga bukyaayi era n’ekko naye kukugamba nti ekyo ekigenda mu maaso eri amaka go ssi kipya. Okuva mu biseera eby’edda, amaka gabadde gayita mu muliro gw’okubonaabona.

Kiki olwo ky’oteekeddwa okuyiga? Katonda asigala Katonda wa maka. Ku lw’okufiirwa kwa Abiri, Yagaba Seezi. Ku by’okufiirwa kwa Yobu, Yakubisaamu emirundi ebiri obugagga bwe n’ebintu bye bye yali yafiirwa. Ku lw’okugaanibwa kwa Dawudi, Yayimusa omunagiro gwe n’amufuula Kabaka. Eri Koseya, yazza buggya mukazi we. Ku lwa Ibulayimu, Yamuwa omwana n’abasika b’amawanga gonna.

Alleluya!

AMAKA NAG’ENKI – 3?

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Okutandika 4:8; Kaini yaagambira Abeeli omurumuna ati: Ija, tuze omu ishwa. Ku baahikireyo, Kaini yaagurukira Abeeli omurumuna, yaamwita.

Baiburi eijwiire ebitebyo by’abantu ababonaboine n’obusaasi, okureebya hamwe n’okuguubwa kubi.

Waaba nooshoma ebitebyo ebi, bireebere omu kishushani ky’amaka. Adamu na Haawa nibo baabaire bari eky’okureeberaho ky’amaka eky’okubanza omu byafaayo by’amagara g’abantu. Bakakora enshobi y’amaani okugomera Ruhanga. Ekyarugiremu n’okugira ngu ahabw’omuntu omwe, rufu ekeema aha bantu boona. Omu ka ya Adamu nimwo turikureebera rufu y’okubanza, omutsigazi arikwiita murumuna we. Ninteekateeka oku kyabaire kigumiire Adamu na Haawa omu bunaku obwo, ahabw’okuba bakaba nibaririra Abeeli owafiire hamwe na Kaini owa yangirwe Ruhanga. Eizooba eryo, Adamu na Haawa tibarafereirwe mwana omwe kureka babiri.

Kandi shi Yobu n’eka ye? Eki n’ekitebyo ky’omushaija owafereirwe abaana be boona n’obutungi bwe bwoona. Teekateeka aha mukazi wa Yobu hamwe n’eki kirikumanyisa omukazi kuziika abaana be ikumi kandi akareeba omushaija we arikutonzya n’obusaasi obutarikwemerwa.

Kandi shi Daudi? Akoororwa ishe owabaire atarikwetegyereza omunagiro ogwabaire guri aha magara gye. Akahindura amaka akiri omwana muto. Omu maka amasya agu yaagiiremu, Saulo akasherura kumwiita, ekyareeteire omwana muto ogwo kuteekateeka kubi aha kworora.

Eka ya Daudi nayo ekaba eine ebizibu byayo. Amunooni akahamba Tamari. Abusalomu akaita Amunooni.

Orunyiriri tururikuhwayo. Hosea akaba aine omukazi w’omushambani. Mutabani wa Noa akamureebya. Omukazi wa Abrahamu akaba ari engumba.

Tindikukwijutsya ebyahandiikirwe ebi kukworeka ekishushani ky’akabi n’enaku kureka kukugambira ngu eki eka yaawe erikurabamu ti kisya. Kuruga omu bunaku bwa kare munonga. Amaka garabire omu miriro y’okubonaabona.

Mbwenu niki eki oshemereire kweega? Ruhanga natsigara ari Ruhanga w’amaka. Ahabw’okufeerwa Abeeli, akabaha Seezi. Ahabw’ebi Yobu yaafeereirwe, akabazamu kabiri obutungi bwe bwoona n’ebi yabaire aine. Ahabwa Daudi kwangwa, akatunguura omunagiro gwe yaamukora omugabe. Ahari Hosea, akagarura busya omukazi we. Ahari Abrahamu, Akamuha omwana hamwe n’abaijukuru ab’amahanga goona.

Hallelujah!

SHOMA NEEBI: Yobu 1:13-22, Abarooma 5:12

EZAABU: Eki eka yaawe erikurabamu ti kisya. Kuruga omu bunaku bwa kare munonga. Amaka garabire omu miriro y’okubonaabona. Ruhanga natsigara ari Ruhanga w’amaka.

OKUSHABA: Taata omukundwa, ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. Nimanya ngu oine ebiteekateeko birungi ebi oteekateekiire eka yanye. Ti nshonga ebiturabiremu byoona. Otwiineire ebiteekateeko birungi kandi bikuru. Eka yangye nesingura emiringo yoona ey’okugyezebwa n’okubonaabona. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.

HABWAKI ORUGANDA – 3?

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Okubanza 4:8 (KJV); Kaini yagambira Aberi mugenziwe. Kandi kyahika obubakaba bali omu musiri, Kaini yaimuki’ra Aberi mugenziwe, yamuita.

Baibuli eijuire enganikyo z’abantu ababoine obusaasi, bagobezebwa n’okuhemukirwa.

Obwokuba norora enganikyo zinu, zetegerereze omukisisani eky’oruganda. Adamu na Hawa nibo kyali kyokurorwaho ekyokubanza eky’oruganda omubyafaayo by’abantu. Bakakora ensobi embi muno omukwemera Ruhanga. Ekyarugiremu kiri ngu habw’omuntu omu, orufu rukalema abantu boona. Omuka y’Adamu niho turora okufa okwokubanza, omu naita mugenziwe. Nkuteramu akaisani okukyagumirire Adamu na Hawa omubiro ebi, habwokuba bakaganya Aberi ayafiire na Kaini ayasenzirwe Ruhanga. Ekiro eki, Adamu na Hawa batafeerwe omwaana omu baitu bombi.

Kandi Yobu n’enju ye? Runu ruganikyo rw’omusaija ayaferiirwe abaana be boona n’obuguuda bwe bwoona. Tekereza ha muka Yobu nekikikumanyisa nyina baana okuziika abaana be ikumi nokurora iba nasinda n’obusaasi obutagumirwa.

Kandi Daudi? Akakuzibwa ise owataramanyiriire amagita agabaire habwomezi bwe. Akahingisaniza amaka maingi ha myaka ey’obuto. Omuka y’empyaka, Saulo akase’ra okumuita, atyo yasiisa enyetegereza y’omusigazi onu hali baise bantu.

Enju ya Daudi yo yonka ekaba eine ensonga zayo. Mutabani we Amunoni akahamba Tamali. Abusalomi akaita Amunoni.

Oruka’ra tirukuhwayo. Hoseya akaba n’omukazi omusihani. Batabani ba Noha bakamugobeza. Muka Iburahimu akaba ali ngumba.

Nkugarukamu enganikyo zinu hanu, hatali okusiiga ekisisani kyokuhwereke’ra n’obubi baitu okukugambira ngu ebyorukurora omuka yawe tibiri bihyaka. Kuruga karanakara enganda zirabire omu mirro y’okubonabona.

Kiki nu eky’osemeriire kwega? Ruhanga akiri Ruhanga w’enganda. Habw’okufa kwa Aberi, akaha Sesi. Habwokufe’rwa kwa Yobu, akatezamu obuguuda bwe kabiri n’ebye byoona. Habw’okwangwa kwa Daudi, akaimukya omwenagiro gwe yamufoora mukama. Habwa Hoseya, akaga’ra buhyaka mukaziwe. Habwa Iburahimu akamuha omwaana n’abaijukuru omu mahanga goona.

Alel’uya!

EBIKURU OMUBYOONA:
Ebyorukurora omuka yawe tibiri bihyaka. Kuruga karanakara enganda zirabire omu mirro y’okubonabona. Ruhanga akiri Ruhanga ow’enganda.

Oruganda rwange nirutumbe’rera haiguru kandi nirusingura buli nyakalingo y’okulengesebwa n’okubonabona. Mw’ibara lya Yesu, Amiina.

KWA NINI FAMILIA – 3?

Mtume Grace Lubega

Mwanzo 4: 8 (KJV); Kaini akamwambia Habili nduguye, [Twende uwandani]. Ikawa walipokuwapo uwandani, Kaini akamwinukia Habili nduguye, akamwua.

Biblia imejaa hadithi za watu ambao walipata maumivu, usaliti na kukata tamaa kabisa.

Unapoangalia hadithi hizi, zielewe kutoka kwa muktadha wa familia. Adamu na Hawa walikuwa mfano wa kwanza wa familia katika historia ya wanadamu. Walifanya kosa kubwa kwa kutomtii Mungu. Matokeo yake ni kwamba kwa mtu mmoja, kifo kilitawala juu ya watu wote. Ni katika familia ya Adamu ndio tunaona kifo cha kwanza, ndugu akiua ndugu mwenzake. Ninafikiria jinsi ilivyokuwa ngumu kwa Adamu na Hawa wakati huo, kwa sababu walimuomboleza Abeli ​​aliyekufa na Kaini ambaye alifukuzwa na Mungu. Siku hiyo, Adamu na Hawa walipoteza si mmoja tu bali wana wawili.

Vipi kuhusu Ayubu na nyumba yake? Hapa kuna hadithi ya mtu aliyepoteza watoto wake wote na utajiri wake wote. Fikiria juu ya mke wa Ayubu na uchungu aliohisi kama mama mzazi kuzika watoto wake kumi na kumtazama mumewe akiugua kwa maumivu yasiyostahimilika.

Vipi kuhusu Daudi? Alilelewa na baba ambaye hakutambua joho lililokuwa maishani mwake. Alibadilisha jamii katika umri mdogo. Katika nyumba yake mpya, Sauli alitaka kumuua, akikatisha tamaa mawazo ya kijana juu ya baba.

Nyumba ya Daudi mwenyewe ilikuwa na maswala yake. Mwanawe Amnoni alimbaka Tamari. Absalomu alimuua Amnoni.

Orodha haina mwisho. Hosea alikuwa na mke aliyekuwa si mwaminifu katika ndoa. Mtoto wa Nuhu alimsaliti. Mke wa Ibrahimu alikuwa tasa.

Nasimulia hadithi hizi hapa, sio kuchora adhabu na kiza lakini kukuambia kuwa kinachotokea kwa familia yako sio mpya. Tangu zamani, familia zimekuwa zikipitia moto wa mateso.

Nini basi lazima ujifunze? Mungu bado ni Mungu wa familia. Kwa kupoteza kwa Habili, alimpa Sethi. Kwa hasara ya Ayubu, Aliongezea maradufu utajiri wake wa awali. Kwa kukataliwa kwa Daudi, Aliinua joho lake na kumfanya mfalme. Kwa Hosea, alimrudisha mkewe. Kwa Ibrahimu, Alimpa mtoto na wazao wa mataifa yote.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Ayubu 1: 13-22, Warumi 5:12

UJUMBE MKUU: Kinachotokea kwa familia yako sio kipya. Tangu zamani, familia zimekuwa zikipitia moto wa mateso. Mungu bado ni Mungu wa familia.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, ninakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Najua kwamba Una mipango mizuri kwa familia yangu. Haijalishi tumepitia nini. Una mipango mizuri na kuu kwetu. Familia yangu inaongezeka na kushinda aina zote za jaribio na mateso. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
