THE LION OF JUDAH MINISTRY IN THE WORLD

«Uhoraho, wokwama wibuka ibigabitanyo,
Bgirukiro, ni nde yohava akazohagarara adatsinzwe?» (Zaburi 130:3)

Hari ukuri abantu bakunda kwibagira bitagoranye:
Dukunda guhabwa ubuntu… ariko tukihutira gucira abandi urubanza.

Iyo twaguye, dushaka ko batwumva, ariko iyo abandi baguye natwe biratugora kubumva.
Dusaba Imana kutwihanganira ku makosa yacu, ariko rimwe na rimwe natwe tukanka kwihanganira abandi.

Ariko Bibiliya iratwibutsa ukuri gukomeye:
Iyo Imana iba idufata nk’uko natwe rimwe na rimwe dufata abandi, nta n’umwe muri twebge aba yoshobora guhagarara imbere yayo.

Twebge duca urubanza dukurikije ivyo tubona inyuma.
Imana yo ica urubanza mu kuri.

Twebge twihutira gucira abandi urubanza.
Imana yo, irihangana cane.

Twebge tubona ibikorwa vyo hanze gusa.
Ariko Imana ibona n’ibikomere vyihishije, intambara zo mu mutima, intege nke n’amarira abantu bahisha.

Ni kangahe twababariwe tutazi uburemere bw’imbabazi twahawe?
Ni kangahe Imana yatwihanganiye kandi twari dukwiriye guhanwa?

Ubuntu bw’Imana ntibusobanura ko icaha cemewe.
Ahubwo bugaragaza ko Imana ibanza gushaka gukiza imbere yo kurandura, kuvyura umuntu imbere yo kumureka, no guhamagarira umuntu kwihana imbere yo kumucira urubanza.

Ni co gituma Yesu yavuze ati:
«Kuko, uko muhinyura abandi, ari ko muzohinyurwa namwe; kand’ ingero mugeramwo muzoyigererwa namwe.» (Matayo 7:2)

Umuntu asobanukiwe vy’ukuri ubuntu bw’Imana aricisha bugufi.
Ntaba acibona nk’uwuri hejuru y’abandi.
Yibuka ko na we abeshwaho n’imbabazi adakwiriye.

Ivyo ntibisobanura ko dukwiye kwirengagiza ikibi.
Ahubwo bisobanura ko dukwiye kuraba abandi twibuka ko natwe buri munsi dukeneye ukwihanganirwa n’Imana.

Mbere yo gucira umuntu urubanza, twame twibuka incuro nyinshi Imana itaduciriye urubanza.

Iyo hataba ubuntu bw’Imana, twese tuba twararanduwe.

IGISABISHO:
Mwami, ndagushimira ubuntu bgawe no kunyihanganira kwawe.
Nyigisha kudacira abandi urubanza nabi, ahubwo ngendere mu rukundo no mu mbabazi.
Mw’izina rya Yesu Kristo. Amen.

Iyo Imana itudufata nk’uko natwe rimwe na rimwe dufata abandi, nta n’umwe muri twe wabasha guhagarara imbere yayo.

Twebwe duca urubanza dukurikije ibyo tubona inyuma.

Ni cyo gituma Yesu yavuze ati:
«Kuko urubanza muca ari rwo muzacirwa namwe, urugero mugeramo ari rwo muzagererwamo namwe.» (Matayo 7:2)

Umuntu usobanukiwe by’ukuri ubuntu bw’Imana aricisha bugufi.

Nyigisha kudacira abandi urubanza nabi, ahubwo ngendere mu rukundo no mu mbabazi.
Mu izina rya Yesu Kristo. Amen.

“If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?” (Psalm 129:3)

There is a truth that human beings easily forget:
We love receiving grace… but we are often quick to pass judgment.

We want others to understand us when we fall, yet we struggle to understand others when they fall.
We ask God to be patient with our failures, but we sometimes refuse to show that same patience to others.

Yet the Bible reminds us of a powerful reality:
If God treated us with the same harshness with which we sometimes treat others, none of us would be able to stand before Him.

We judge by appearances.
God judges according to truth.

We condemn quickly.
God, however, is longsuffering.

We see the visible action.
God also sees the hidden wounds, the inner battles, the weaknesses, and the secret tears.

How many times have we been forgiven without even realizing the greatness of that forgiveness?
How many times has God spared us when we deserved correction?

The grace of God does not mean that sin is acceptable.
Rather, it reveals that God prefers to save before destroying, to restore before abandoning, and to call people to repentance before executing judgment.

That is why Jesus said:
“For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.”
(Gospel of Matthew 7:2)

The one who truly understands grace becomes more humble.
He stops believing himself to be superior to others.
He remembers that he himself lives by a mercy he does not deserve.

This does not mean closing our eyes to evil.
But it means looking at others with the awareness that we too need God’s patience every single day.

Before condemning someone, let us remember all the times God did not condemn us.

Were it not for the grace of God, we would be lost.

PRAYER:
Lord, thank You for Your grace and patience toward me.
Teach me not to judge harshly, but to walk in love and mercy.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Apostle Dr Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

«Si tu gardais le souvenir des iniquités, Éternel, Seigneur, qui pourrait subsister?»
(Psaumes 130:3)

Il existe une vérité que l’être humain oublie facilement:
Nous aimons recevoir la grâce… mais nous sommes rapides à exercer le jugement.

Nous voulons être compris lorsque nous tombons, mais nous comprenons difficilement les autres lorsqu’ils tombent à leur tour.
Nous demandons à Dieu patience pour nos erreurs, mais nous refusons parfois cette même patience à notre prochain.

Pourtant, la Bible nous rappelle une réalité bouleversante:
Si Dieu nous traitait avec la même dureté que celle avec laquelle nous traitons parfois les autres, aucun de nous ne pourrait tenir debout devant Lui.

Nous jugeons selon l’apparence.
Dieu juge selon la vérité.

Nous condamnons rapidement.
Dieu, lui, supporte longtemps.

Nous voyons l’acte visible.
Dieu voit aussi les blessures cachées, les combats intérieurs, les faiblesses et les larmes secrètes.

Combien de fois avons-nous été pardonnés sans même réaliser la grandeur de ce pardon?
Combien de fois Dieu nous a-t-il épargnés alors que nous méritions correction?

La grâce de Dieu ne dit pas que le péché est acceptable.
Elle révèle plutôt que Dieu préfère sauver avant de détruire, relever avant d’abandonner, appeler à la repentance avant d’exécuter le jugement.

C’est pourquoi Jésus a déclaré:
«Car on vous jugera du jugement dont vous jugez, et l`on vous mesurera avec la mesure dont vous mesurez.» (Évangile selon Matthieu 7:2)

Celui qui comprend réellement la grâce devient plus humble.
Il cesse de se croire supérieur aux autres.
Il se souvient qu’il vit lui-même grâce à une miséricorde qu’il ne mérite pas.

Cela ne signifie pas fermer les yeux sur le mal.
Mais cela signifie regarder les autres avec la conscience que nous aussi avons besoin, chaque jour, de la patience de Dieu.

Avant de condamner quelqu’un, souvenons-nous de toutes les fois où Dieu ne nous a pas condamnés.

N’eût-été la grâce de Dieu, nous serions perdus.

PRIÈRE:
Seigneur, merci pour ta grâce et ta patience envers moi.
Apprends-moi à ne pas juger avec dureté, mais à marcher dans l’amour et la miséricorde.
Au nom de Jésus-Christ. Amen.

« Uku ni ko Uhoraho Nyen’ingabo agize ati: ‘Ni mwitegereze uko mumeze!’ »
(Igitabu ca Hagayi 1:7)

Rimwe na rimwe turibaza igituma utwigoro twacu twama tuvamwo umwimbu muke.

“Uwiteka Nyiringabo aravuga ati: ‘Nimwibuke ibyo mukora.’”
(Igitabo cya Hagayi 1:7)

Rimwe na rimwe twibaza impamvu imihati yacu itera umusaruro muke.
Dukora cyane, ariko amahoro akaba make.
Tubona amafaranga, ariko ntihagire igikomera.

Mu Igitabo cya Hagayi, Imana yeretse ubwoko bwayo ko ikibazo kitari mu bihe barimo gusa, ahubwo ko kiri no mu mibereho yabo no mu byo bashyira imbere.

Imana yarababwiye iti:

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.” (Book of Haggai 1:7)

Sometimes we wonder why our efforts produce so little.
We work hard, yet peace is missing.
We earn money, yet nothing seems to last.
We keep moving forward, yet without real satisfaction.

In the Book of Haggai, God shows His people that the problem was not only their circumstances, but also their conduct and priorities.

God said to them:
“Set your hearts upon your ways.”

In other words: examine your life.
Your choices, your habits, and your relationship with God all have an impact on the way you live.

Many people want a different life without changing direction.
But real change is impossible without self-examination.

Before blaming others or your circumstances, take a moment to honestly examine your ways.

• Examine the way you speak.
• Examine your relationships and influences.
• Examine your hidden choices.
• Examine your relationship with God.
• Examine what you are truly pursuing in life.

For our ways influence our destiny.

A life far from God will always create a void that nothing else can fill.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to examine my life sincerely and return to Your ways. Amen.

Apostle Dr Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

«Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Considérez attentivement vos voies !» (Livre d’Aggée 1:7)

Parfois, nous nous demandons pourquoi nos efforts produisent peu de résultats.
Nous travaillons beaucoup, mais la paix manque.
Nous gagnons, mais rien ne dure.
Nous avançons, mais sans véritable satisfaction.

Dans le Livre d’Aggée, Dieu montre au peuple que le problème ne vient pas seulement des circonstances, mais aussi de leur conduite et de leurs priorités.

Dieu leur dit:
«Considérez attentivement vos voies.»

Autrement dit: examinez votre vie.
Vos choix, vos habitudes et votre relation avec Dieu ont un impact sur votre manière de vivre.

Beaucoup veulent une vie différente sans changer de direction. Mais aucun changement réel n’est possible sans prise de conscience.

Avant d’accuser les autres ou les circonstances, prends un moment pour regarder honnêtement tes voies.

• Examine ta manière de parler.
• Examine tes fréquentations.
• Examine tes choix cachés.
• Examine ta relation avec Dieu.
• Examine ce que tu poursuis réellement dans la vie.

Car nos voies influencent notre destinée.

Une vie éloignée de Dieu finit toujours par produire un vide que rien ne peut remplir.

PRIÈRE
Seigneur, aide-moi à examiner ma vie avec sincérité et à revenir dans Tes voies. Amen.

Muri Bibiliya dusangamwo inkuru idufasha gutahura uburyo ivyiyumviro bimwebimwe n’ingene umutima umeze bishobora gutuma twibagira ko turi abana b’Imana.

Muri Luka 15, Yesu yavuze umugani w’umugabo yari afise abahungu babiri.
Umuhungu mutoya yasavye se umugabane w’itunga ryiwe, ava muhira aja kubaho mu bwigenge no mu buzima bw’ubuhumbu.
Ariko amaze gutakaza vyose, yagarutse kwa se, maze se amwakirana umunezero mwinshi kandi amutegurira umunsi mukuru.

Umuhungu mukuru abonye ukuntu se yanezerewe kubera ukugaruka kwa murumuna wiwe yari yazimiye, yagize ishari maze abwira se ati:
“Raba iyi myaka ingana irtya ngukorera…” (Luka 15:29)

Kubera ishari, yari yibagiye ko yari umuhungu kandi ko yari umuragwa.
Yiyumvira ko ari umusuku gusa.

Ni ko bimeze no kuri bamwe mu bana b’Imana: bibagira ko ari abana b’Imana maze bakabaho nk’abasuku, kandi ari abaragwa b’amasezerano y’Imana.

Ariko Imana “yagabiye kera ko duheshwa na Yesu Kristo gucika abana bayo kubgayo, nk’uko yabigomvye bikayihimbara.” (Abanyefeso 1:5)

Kandi Bibiliya ivuga iti:
“Mpwemu ubgiwe abgiririkanya n’impwemu yacu, ar’ icabona, yuko tur’ abana b’Imana.” (Abaroma 8:16)

Ariko hari ivyiyumvo bishobora gutuma twibagira abo turi mu Mana.

Butuma twibagira ko Imana ari Data wa twese.

“Kukw Imana itaduhaye umutima w’ubujora: ariko yaduhaye uw’ ubushobozi n’urukundo n’ukwirinda.” (2 Timoteyo 1:7)

Ibindi vyiyumvo bibi n’ibi:

Kwiyagiriza birenze urugero bituma duhunga Imana aho kuyigarukako nk’umwana asanga se.

Intambara yo mu buryo bw’impwemu akenshi itangurira aho: kudutuma twibagira abo turi mu Mana.

ISENGESHO:

Umwana muto yasabye umugabane w’umurage we, ava mu rugo ajya kubaho mu busambanyi no mu byaha.
Ariko amaze gutakaza byose, yagarutse kwa se, maze se amwakirana ibyishimo byinshi ndetse amutegurira ibirori.

Umuhungu mukuru abonye uko se yishimiye kugaruka kwa murumuna we wari warazimiye, yagize ishyari maze abwira se ati:
“Maze imyaka myinshi ngukorera…” (Luka 15:29)

Kubera ishyari, yibagiwe ko yari umuhungu n’umuragwa. Yitekerezaga nk’umugaragu gusa.

Ni ko bimeze no kuri bamwe mu bana b’Imana: bibagirwa ko ari abana bayo maze bakabaho nk’abagaragu, kandi ari abaragwa b’amasezerano y’Imana.

Nyamara Imana “yagambiriye kera ku bw’urukundo rwayo ko duhinduka abana bayo, tubiheshejwe na Yesu Kristo ku bw’ineza y’ubushake bwayo.” (Abefeso 1:5)

Kandi Bibiliya iravuga iti:
“Umwuka w’Imana ubwe ahamanya n’umwuka wacu yuko turi abana b’Imana.” (Abaroma 8:16)

Ariko hari amarangamutima menshi ashobora gutuma twibagirwa abo turi bo mu Mana.

Ishyari
Ishyari rituma tureba imigisha y’abandi aho kureba Imana. Rituma twumva ko tudafite agaciro cyangwa ko Imana yatwibagiwe.

“Kuko Imana itaduhaye umwuka w’ubwoba, ahubwo yaduhaye uw’imbaraga n’urukundo no kwirinda.” (2 Timoteyo 1:7)

Andi marangamutima mabi ni aya:
– Isoni
Zituma twumva tutagikwiriye kwitwa abana b’Imana.
– Kwicira urubanza bikabije
Bituma duhunga Imana aho kuyigarukaho nk’umwana ugarukira se.
