Itunga ry’ukuri mu buzima bwacu si amafaranga, si ibyubahiro, si intsinzi tugira, ahubwo ni Ubuturo bw’Imana mu buzima bwacu.

Mu Bisirayeli, isanduku y’isezerano yerekaga abantu ubwo buturo.
Aho iyo sandugu yari iri, Imana yigaragazaga mu Ijambo ryayo (amategeko ku bisate), mu buryo bwayo bwo gutunga abantu (mana), mu bushumba bwayo (inkoni ya Aroni).
Igihe Abafilisitiya bayitwara (1 Samweli 4), Isirayeli yaratsinzwe iraseba, ariko nabo bamenya ko Ubuturo bw’Imana budashobora kugenzurwa.
Dagoni yaraguye, ibyago birabasenya, maze basubiza isanduku. Aho Imana iri, nta yindi mana ishobora guhagarara.

Nyuma y’imyaka, Dawidi yaragarukanye isanduku i Yerusalemu mu munezero n’icyubahiro (2 Samweli 6). Byagaragaje ko imbaraga z’ubwami bwe atari mu gisirikare cyangwa mu nkuta, ahubwo zari mu Buturo bw’Imana. Bibiliya ivuga iti: “Uwiteka amuha ihumure ku babisha be bamugose bose.” (2 Samweli 7:1)
Ni yo mpamvu Dawidi yavugaga ati: “Nzajya ndyama nsinzire niziguye,Kuko ari wowe wenyine Uwiteka umpa kuba amahoro.” (Zaburi 4:9)

Mwene Data, inzu yawe, amashuri yawe, amafaranga yawe cyangwa inshuti zawe ntibishobora kuguha amahoro nyakuri.
Ni Ubuturo bw’Imana mu buzima bwawe bushobora kuguha amahoro. Aho Imana iri, ubwoba burashira, abanzi baratsindwa, n’umutima ugasanga uburuhukiro.

Ubu ntidufite isanduku y’inzahabu, kuko byose byarangiriye muri Yesu Kristo. Muri We, ufite Ijambo rizima, Umutsima w’ubugingo, n’Umutambyi Mukuru w’iteka.
Iyo uhisemo gushyira Kristo ku mutima w’ubuzima bwawe, ntuba uri wenyine: Ubuturo bwe buba imbaraga zawe, amahoro yawe n’intsinzi yawe.

Wakwibaza uti: Ni nde cyangwa iki kiri ku mutima w’ubuzima bwanjye?
Niba atari Imana, ntuzigera ubona uburuhukiro nyakuri. Ariko niba Ubuturo bwayo buri muri wowe, nta kintu kizagutsinda, kandi uzagira amahoro isi idashobora gutanga.

ISENGESHO:
Uwiteka Mwami Imana yanjye,
Ndemera ko nta buturo bwawe, nta cyo ndi cyo.
Injira mu mutima wanjye, ufate umwanya wa mbere.
Ba Umuyobozi wanjye, amahoro yanjye n’umutekano wanjye. Nk’uko Dawidi yabigize, ndifuza ko ubuzima bwanjye bwose bushingira kuri Wowe.
Nunyuzuze Umwuka wawe kugira ngo ngendere mu mbaraga no mu munezero w’Ubuturo bwawe.
Ni mu izina rya Yesu Kristo, nsenze, Amen.

Itunga riruta ibindi mu buzima bwacu si izahabu canke intsinzi tugira, ahubwo ni Ukubaho kw’Imana muri twebwe.

Mu Bisirayeli, iryo sandugu ry’isezerano niryo ryagaragaza ko Imana irikumwe nabo.
Aho ryari riri, haba harimwo Ijambo ry’Imana (amabuye y’amategeko), ububasha bwayo bwo gutunga abantu (imana), n’ubuyobozi bwayo (Inyonga ya Aroni).
Igihe Abafilisitiya bari batwaye iryo sandugu (1 Samweli 4), Isirayeli yaratsinzwe, iramaramara, ariko nabo bamenya ko ukwibonekeza kw’Imana kutabohwa.
Dagoni yaraguye, ivyago birabakubita, maze abafilistiya basubiza isandugu. Aho Imana iri, nta yindi mana ishobora kuhahagarara.

Haciye imyaka, Dawidi yaragarukanye isandugu i Yerusalemu mu munezero n’icubahiro (2 Samweli 6).
Ivyo vyerekanye ko imfatiro y’ubwami bwiwe atari abasoda canke inkuta, ariko ko ari ukubaho kw’Imana hagati mu banya Isirayeli.
Ivyanditswe bivuga ngo: “Uhoraho amuhaye impore hagati y’abansi biwe bose bamukikije.” (2 Samweli 7:1)
Nico gituma Dawidi yavuga ati: “Nzokwama ndyama nsinzire ata co nicura, Kukw ari wewe wenyene, Uhoraho, umpa kuba amahoro.” (Zaburi 4:8)

Ncuti yanje, inzu, amashure, ubutunzi canke abo muzinanye ntibishobora kuguha amahoro nyakuri. Ni ukubaho kw’Imana muri wewe gushobora kuyaguha. Aho Imana iri, ubwoba burahunga, abansi baratsindwa, umutima ugasanga uburuhukiro.

Ubu ntitukigira isandugu y’inzahabu, kuko vyose vyarangukiye muri Yesu Kristo. Muri We, ufise Ijambo rizima, Umutsima w’ubugingo n’Umuherezi mukuru uhoraho.
Iyo uhisemwo gushira Kristo ku mutima w’ubuzima bwawe, ntuba uri wenyene: Ukwigaragaza kwiwe kuba ikimenyetso cawe, uburuhukiro bwawe n’intsinzi yawe.

Niwibaze uti: Ni nde canke iki kiri ku mutima w’ubuzima bwanje?
Niba atari Imana, ntuzigera uronka uburuhukiro nyakuri. Ariko niba ukwigaragaza kwayo kuri muri wewe, nta kintu kizogutsinda, kandi uzobaho mu mahoro isi itigeze itanga.

IGISABISHO:
Uhoraho Imana Mwami wanje,
Ndemera ko ata kubaho kwawe, ataco ndi.
Injira mu mutima wanje, ufate ikibanza ca mbere.
Ba Umuyobozi wanje, amahoro yanje n’umutekano wanje.
Nk’uko Dawidi yabigize, ndipfuza ko ubuzima bwanje bwose bushingira kuri Wewe. Nunyuzuze Mpwemu wawe kugira ngo ngendere mu nguvu no mu munezero w’Ukubaho kwawe.
Ni mw’izina rya Yesu Kristo ndabisavye, Amen.

“Rejoice always.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16

The Word of God reminds us of a simple but profound truth: joy must be the constant atmosphere of the Christian life.
This joy does not depend on circumstances, for they change every day.
It is not just a fleeting feeling, but an inner assurance that flows from our relationship with Jesus Christ.

To “rejoice always” means to acknowledge that God is faithful, even in the midst of storms.
It is to choose to trust Him rather than to be overwhelmed by trials.
True joy is a fruit of the Spirit, a strength that rises from within and keeps us standing firm despite difficulties.

Paul wrote these words while facing sufferings and persecutions.
Yet he discovered the secret of joy: fixing his eyes on Christ and not on circumstances.
Thus, Christian joy is not fragile like an emotion, but solid like a hope rooted in God.

Today, choose joy! Not because everything is perfect, but because you know your life is in God’s hands.
Cultivate gratitude, and you will see joy filling your heart even in the darkest times.

Apostle Dr Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

«Soyez toujours joyeux.»
1 Thessaloniciens 5:16

La Parole de Dieu nous rappelle ici une vérité simple mais profonde: la joie doit être le climat permanent de la vie chrétienne.
Cette joie ne dépend pas des circonstances, car elles changent chaque jour.
Elle n’est pas une simple émotion passagère, mais une assurance intérieure qui naît de notre relation avec Jésus-Christ.

Être «toujours joyeux», c’est reconnaître que Dieu est fidèle, même au cœur des tempêtes.
C’est choisir de placer notre confiance en Lui plutôt que de nous laisser dominer par nos épreuves.
La joie véritable est un fruit de l’Esprit, une force qui vient de l’intérieur et qui nous garde debout malgré les difficultés.

Paul a écrit ces paroles alors qu’il connaissait souffrances et persécutions.
Pourtant, il avait découvert le secret de la joie: fixer ses yeux sur Christ et non sur les circonstances.
Ainsi, la joie du chrétien n’est pas fragile comme un sentiment, mais solide comme une espérance enracinée en Dieu.

Aujourd’hui, choisis la joie ! Non pas parce que tout va bien, mais parce que tu sais que Dieu tient ta vie dans ses mains. Cultive la gratitude, et tu verras que la joie remplira ton cœur même dans les moments les plus sombres.

“Mwishime iteka.”
1 Abatesalonike 5:16 —

Ijambo ry’Imana ritwibutsa ukuri gusanzwe ariko gukomeye: ibyishimo bigomba kuba umwuka uhoraho mu buzima bw’umukristo. Ibyo byishimo ntibishingiye ku bihe bihinduka buri munsi, ahubwo biva mu mubano tugirana na Yesu Kristo.

Kuba “twishimye iteka” bisobanura kwemera ko Imana ihoraho kandi yizerwa, n’iyo twaba turi mu makuba.
Ni uguhitamo kuyiringira aho gutsindwa n’ibigeragezo. Ibyishimo by’ukuri ni imbuto z’Umwuka, imbaraga zivuka mu mutima zidufasha guhagarara n’iyo byose byaba bitagenda neza.

Pawulo yanditse aya magambo ari mu mibabaro no mu bitotezo. Ariko yari amaze gusobanukirwa ibanga by’ibyishimo: guhanga amaso kuri Kristo aho guhanga ku bihe.
Ni cyo gituma ibyishimo by’umukristo bitarangira nk’amarangamutima, ahubwo bihamye nk’icyizere gishingiye ku Mana.

Uyu munsi, hitamo ibyishimo!
Si uko ibintu byose bimeze neza, ahubwo kuko uzi neza ko ubuzima bwawe buri mu biganza by’Imana.
Numenyere gushima, hanyuma uzabona ibyishimo byuzura umutima wawe n’iyo uzaba uri mu bihe bikomeye.

« Munezerwe imisi yose. »
(1 Ab’i Tesalonike 5:16)

Ijambo ry’Imana riduhishurira ukuri gusanzwe ariko kw’ijunja: umunezero ni wo ukwiriye kuba impwemu iganza mu buzima bw’umukristo.
Uwo munezero ntushingiye ku bihe bica bigenda canke bihera, ahubwo uvuka mu rukundo dufitaniye na Yesu Kristo.

Kuba “munezerewe imisi yose” bisobanura kwemera ko Imana ari iyo kwizigirwa n’iyo turi mu vyago vy’ubuzima.
Bisobanura guhitamwo kwizigira Imana aho gutsindwa n’ibigeragezo.
Umunezero nyakuri ni ivyamwa vy’impwemu, ni inguvu ziva mu mutima zidufasha guhagarara n’aho ibintu vyose vyoba bitifashe neza.

Paulo yanditse aya majambo ari mu makuba no mu gutotezwa. Yamara yari amaze kumenya ibanga ry’umunezero: guhanga amaso kuri Kristo aho kwihweza ibihe.
Ni co gituma umunezero w’abakristo utazimira nk’ivyiyumviro, ahubwo uhoraho nk’icizigiro cashinze imizi mu Mana.

Uno munsi, hitamwo kunezerwa! S’uko ibintu vyose vyifashe neza, ariko kuko uzi ko ubuzima bwawe buri mu minwe y’Imana. Numenyere gukenguruka, kandi uzobona umunezero wuzura mu mutima wawe n’iigihe uzoba uri mu mwiza mwinshi.

Many people say: “This is who I am, accept me as I am.”
This statement can reflect two different realities.

1. The need to be accepted

Every human being longs to be welcomed and loved unconditionally. That is what God does for us. The Bible says:
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”(Romans 5:8)

God loves us as we are, with our weaknesses, struggles, and wounds.
He does not require us to be perfect before coming to Him. His love meets us where we are.

2. The danger of refusing change

However, this statement can also hide a refusal to be transformed.
Saying “This is who I am” can become an excuse to justify behaviors that go against God’s will.

But the Bible teaches that encountering Jesus changes lives:
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2).

God’s love says: “Come as you are”—but also: “You will not stay as you are.”

3. Examples of transformation

Peter, impulsive and hot-tempered, became a wise and courageous apostle.

Paul, once a persecutor of the church, became a missionary of the Gospel.

Conclusion
God welcomes us as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us as we are.
In His hands, our lives cannot remain the same.

Apostle Dr Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

Beaucoup de personnes affirment: «Je suis comme ça, acceptez-moi tel que je suis.»
Cette phrase peut refléter deux réalités bien différentes.

1. Le besoin d’être accepté

Tout être humain désire être accueilli et aimé sans conditions.
C’est ce que Dieu fait pour nous.
La Bible dit :
«Mais Dieu prouve son amour envers nous, en ce que, lorsque nous étions encore des pécheurs, Christ est mort pour nous.»(Romains 5:8)

Dieu nous aime tels que nous sommes, avec nos faiblesses, nos luttes et nos blessures.
Il ne nous demande pas d’être parfaits avant de venir à Lui. Son amour nous rejoint là où nous sommes.

2. Le danger de refuser le changement

Cependant, cette même phrase peut aussi cacher un refus de transformation. Dire «Je suis comme ça» peut devenir une excuse pour justifier des comportements contraires à la volonté de Dieu.

Mais la Bible enseigne que rencontrer Jésus change la vie:
«Si quelqu`un est en Christ, il est une nouvelle créature. Les choses anciennes sont passées; voici, toutes choses sont devenues nouvelles.»(2 Corinthiens 5:17)
«Ne vous conformez pas au siècle présent, mais soyez transformés par le renouvellement de l’intelligence, afin que vous discerniez quelle est la volonté de Dieu, ce qui est bon, agréable et parfait.»(Romains 12:2)

L’amour de Dieu dit: «Viens comme tu es», mais ajoute : «Tu ne resteras pas comme tu es.»

3. Des exemples de transformation

•Pierre, impulsif et colérique, est devenu un apôtre sage et courageux.

•Paul, persécuteur de l’Église, est devenu missionnaire de l’Évangile.

Conclusion
Dieu nous accueille tels que nous sommes, mais Il nous aime trop pour nous laisser comme nous sommes.
Entre Ses mains, notre vie ne peut pas rester la même.

Apôtre Dr Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

Abantu benshi bavuga bati: «Ndi uko ndi, munyemere uko ndi.»
Iri jambo rishobora gusobanura ibintu bibiri.

1. Gukenera kwakirwa

Buri muntu wese arashaka gukundwa no kwakirwa uko ari. Ni byo Imana ikorera abantu bose. Bibiliya iti:
«Ariko Imana yerekanye urukundo rwayo idukunda, ubwo Kristo yadupfiraga tukiri abanyabyaha.»(Abaroma 5:8)

Yego, Imana idukunda uko turi, n’intege nke zacu n’ibikomere byacu.
Ntitubanza kuba abera ngo tuyegere. Urukundo rwayo rudusanga aho turi n’uko turi.

2. Icyago cyo kwanga guhinduka

Ariko kuvuga ngo «Ndi uko ndi» bishobora kuba uburyo bwo kwanga guhindurwa.

Nyamara Bibiliya ivuga ko guhura na Yesu bihindura ubuzima:
«Umuntu wese iyo ari muri Kristo aba ari icyaremwe gishya, ibya kera biba bishize. Dore byose biba bihindutse bishya.»(2 Abakorinto 5:17)
«Kandi ntimwishushanye n’ab’iki gihe, ahubwo muhinduke rwose mugize imitima mishya, kugira ngo mumenye neza ibyo Imana ishaka, ari byo byiza bishimwa kandi bitunganye rwose.»(Abaroma 12:2)

Urukundo rw’Imana ruvuga ruti: «Uze uko uri», ariko ruvuga kandi ruti: «Ntuzakomeza uko uri.»

3. Urugero rw’ihinduka

•Petero, wari ufite uburakari n’ubuhubutsi, yabaye intumwa y’ubutwari n’ubwenge.
•Pawulo, wahoze arwanya itorero, yabaye intumwa y’Ubuvugabutumwa.

Umwanzuro
Imana iratwakira uko turi, ariko iradukunda cyane ku buryo itatwihanganira kudusiga uko turi. Iyo uri mu biganza byayo, ubuzima bwawe burahinduka.

Intumwa Dr Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

Abantu benshi bavuga bati: «Uko niko ndi, mumfate uko ndi.»
Ayo majambo ashobora gusobanura ibintu bibiri bitandukanye.

1. Gushaka kwakirwa canke kwemerwa

Buri muntu wese aripfuza gukundwa no kwakirwa uko ari. Ni vyo Imana ikorera abantu bose. Bibiliya iti:
«Ariko Imana yatweretse urukundo rwayo idukunda, kuko Kristo yadupfiriye tukir’ abanyavyaha.»(Abaroma 5:8)
Ego cane, Imana iradukunda uko turi, n’intege nke zacu n’ibikomere vyacu.
Ntitubanza kuba beza kugira ngo tuyegere. Urukundo rwayo ruza rudusanga aho turi n’uko turi.

2. Ingaruka yo kwanka guhinduka

Ariko kuvuga ngo «Uko niko ndi, mumfate uko ndi» bishobora kuba ari n’uburyo bwo kwihishamwo kugira ngo umuntu ntahinduke.

Bibiliya yigisha neza ko guhura na Yesu bihindura ubuzima:
«Nuko rer’ umuntu wese iy’ ari muri Kristo, aba ar’ icaremwe gisha: ivya kera biba bihise, vyose biba bicitse bisha.»(2 Ab’i Korinto 5:17)
«Ntimushushanywe n’ivy’ iki gihe, yamara muhinduke rwose, mugize imitima misha, kugira ngo mumenye neza ivy’ Imana igomba, ni vyo vyiza bishimwa, bitunganye rwose.»(Abaroma 12:2)

Urukundo rw’Imana ruvuga ruti: «Iza uko uri», ariko rongerako ruti: «Ntuzoguma uko uri.»

3. Uburorero bw’ihinduka

•Petero, yari umuntu w’umururazi n’impengamiro, yacitse intumwa y’ubwitonzi n’ubutwari.
•Paulo, yari umubisha w’ishengero, yacitse intumwa y’Inkuru Nziza.

Umusozo
Imana iratwakira uko turi, ariko iradukunda cane ku buryo itatureka ngo tugumye uko turi. Iyo uri mu minwe yayo, ubuzima bwawe burahinduka.
