IVYO DUTUNZE S’UMUHEZAGIRO W’IMANA !

Imodoka s’umuhezagiro w’Imana,
N’abatemera Imana, abasuma n’abagizi ba nabi barazitunze.
Inzu s’umuhezagiro w’Imana,
N’abahakanyi, abasuma n’abagizi ba nabi
barafise amazu, kandi meza.
Kugira ama miliyoni mw’i Banki s’umuhezagiro w’Imana,
N’abatazi Imana, abasuma n’abagizi ba nabi
barafise ama miliyari y’amadorari ku ma konti yabo mw’i Banki.
S’umuhezagiro w’Imana rero.
Si n’ikimenyetso cerekana ko Imana ihimbawe.

Mw’isezerano rya kera, umuhezagiro wari amafaranga canke ibintu bifatika, kuko vyari ikimenyetso c’uko Imana inezererewe ivyo abantu bakora.
Mw’isezerano risha, Imana itunezerererwa kuva tuvutse ubwa kabiri, tukizera Yesu nk’Umwami n’Umukiza wacu. Imana itunezerererwa nk’abana bayo.
Ikivuka mu mubiri ni umubiri, ikivuka mu mpwemu n’impwemu.
« Kuko tweho tur’ abakebge, dusenga Imana mu buryo bga Mpwemu, tukirata Kristo Yesu, ntitwishimire ivy’ umubiri. »(Ab’i Filipi 3:3)

Rero, icari umuhezagiro ku bantu bo mw’Isezerano rya Kera mu buryo bw’umubiri ni umuhezagiro kuri twebge mu buryo bw’impwemu.
Kuva duhinduka abana b’Imana, ibintu vyose Imana itunze n’ivyacu kuko natwe tuba abaragwa bayo:
« Ariko ko tur’ abana bayo, tur’ abaragwa; tur’ abaragwa b’Imana, tur’ abaraganwa na Kristo [dusangiye imihezagiro yiwe n’umurage wiwe wo mu mpwemu], namba tubabazanywa na we, ngo tubone guhanwa ubgiza na we. »(Abaroma 8:17)
Imihezagiro yose twarayihawe, ntidukeneye kuyisaba. Igikenewe, n’uguhumuka tukayibona tukamenya no kuyikoresha neza kubw’icubahiro c’Imana.

IGISABISHO:
Uwiteka Mwami Mana yacu, duhe kumenya ko nk’abana bawe, dufise imihezagiro yawe yose.
Ni mw’izina ridasanzwe ry’umwana wawe Yesu kristo tubisavye tuvyizeye, Amen.

RICHES ARE NOTHING

At a certain point in his life, King Solomon, son of King David, realizes that everything is vanity, that even the riches he has amassed are nothing.

“I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well–the delights of the heart of man.”(Ecclesiastes 2:7-8)

Everything passes, nothing is eternal.
Can we be aware that these riches for which people kill their brothers are not eternal?
If we do not see the riches leaving us without being able to retain or keep them, we abandon them with regret, at the moment of death, in the hands of those who did not seek them.
The word of God teaches us not to cling to them, but to cling instead to the kingdom of God.
« Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. »(Matthew 6:19-20)
Furthermore, Jesus’ teaching on money and wealth was summarized as saying that money is a good servant if we use it to advance the Kingdom of God, but a bad master if we slavishly seek satisfaction from it.

PRAYER:
Lord our God, help us to focus rather on the treasures of heaven than on the treasures of this world.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, amen.

LES RICHESSES NE SONT RIEN !

À un certain moment de sa vie, le roi Salomon, fils du roi David constate que tout est vanité, que même les richesses qu’il a amassées ne sont rien.

«J’achetai des serviteurs et des servantes, et j’eus leurs enfants nés dans la maison; je possédai des troupeaux de boeufs et de brebis, plus que tous ceux qui étaient avant moi dans Jérusalem. Je m’amassai de l’argent et de l’or, et les richesses des rois et des provinces. Je me procurai des chanteurs et des chanteuses, et les délices des fils de l’homme, des femmes en grand nombre.»(Ecclésiaste 2 :7-8)

Tout passe, rien n’est éternel.
Pouvons-nous, être conscients que ces richesses pour lesquelles les gens tuent leurs frères ne sont pas éternelles?
Si nous ne voyons pas ces richesses nous quitter sans pouvoir les retenir ou les garder, nous les abandonnons avec regrets, au moment de la mort, dans les mains de ceux qui ne les ont pas recherchées.
La parole de Dieu nous enseigne de ne pas nous y attacher, de plutôt nous attacher au royaume de Dieu.
« Ne vous amassez pas des trésors sur la terre, où la teigne et la rouille détruisent, et où les voleurs percent et dérobent; mais amassez-vous des trésors dans le ciel, où la teigne et la rouille ne détruisent point, et où les voleurs ne percent ni ne dérobent. »(Matthieu 6:19-20)
Par ailleurs, l’enseignement de Jésus sur l’argent et la richesse a été résumé comme disant que l’argent est bon serviteur si nous l’utilisons pour faire avancer le Royaume de Dieu, mais mauvais maître si nous y recherchons servilement satisfaction.

PRIÈRE:
Éternel notre Dieu, aidez-nous à nous attacher plutôt au trésors du ciel qu’aux trésors de ce monde.
C’est dans le nom précieux de votre fils Jésus-Christ que nous prions, amen.

UBUTUNZI N’UBUSA !

Mugihe runaka mu buzima bwe, Umwami Salomo, umuhungu w’umwami Dawidi, amenya ko byose ari ubusa, ko n’ubutunzi yakusanyije ari ubusa.

“Niguriye abagaragu n’abaja babyarira abandi mu rugo rwanjye, kandi ngira ubutunzi bwinshi bw’amashyo y’inka n’imikumbi y’intama, ndusha abambanjirije i Yerusalemu bose. Nirundaniriza ifeza n’izahabu, n’ubutunzi buherereye ku bami buvuye mu ntara zose, nishakiye abaririmbyi b’abagabo n’ab’abagore n’ibinezeza abantu, n’ibicurangwa by’uburyo bwose.”(Umubwiriza 2:7-8)

Ibintu byose birarengana, ntakintu gihoraho.
Turashobora kumenya ko ubwo butunzi abantu bicira abavandimwe babo atari ubw’iteka?
Niba tutabonye ubutunzi budusiga, buduca mu myanya y’intoke, tutari bubashe kubugumana cyangwa kububika, twe turabusiga twicuza mu maboko y’abatabushakishije, mu gihe cy’urupfu.
Ijambo ry’Imana ritwigisha kutabwizirikaho, ahubwo tukizirika kuby’Ubwami bw’Imana.
« Ntimukībikire ubutunzi mu isi, aho inyenzi n’ingese ziburya, kandi abajura bacukura bakabwiba. Ahubwo mwibikire ubutunzi mu ijuru, aho inyenzi n’ingese zitaburya, n’abajura ntibacukure ngo babwibe.”(Matayo 6:19-20)
Byongeye kandi, inyigisho za Yesu kubyerekeye amafaranga n’ubutunzi zavuzwe muri make zivuga ko amafaranga ari meza niba tuyakoresha mu gutezimbere ubwami bw’Imana, ariko akaba mabi niba atugize imbata zayo.

ISENGESHO:
Uwiteka Mana yacu, dufashe kwibanda ku butunzi bwo mu ijuru kuruta kwibanda ku butunzi bwo mw’iyi si.
Ni mu izina ry’agaciro ry’umwana wawe Yesu Kristo dusenze tubyizeye, amen.

UBUTUNZI N’UBUSA !

Harageze igihe mu buzima bwiwe, aho Umwami Salomo, mwene Dawidi, amenya ko vyose ari ubusa, ko n’ubutunzi yegeranije ari ubusa.

“Niguriye abagurano b’abagabo n’abakobga, bavyarira abandi mu rugo rwanje; kandi nagize itunga ryinshi ry’amasho n’imikuku kurusha abantanguriye bose i Yerusalemu; kandi nirundiye ifeza n’izahabu, bo n’itunga riherereye ku bami rivuye mu ntara zose; nirondereye abaririmvyi b’abagabo n’abakobga, bo n’ibinezereza abana b’abantu, ni vyo ncoreke nyinshi cane.”(Umusiguzi 2:7-8)

Ibintu vyose birarengana, ntakintu gihoraho.
Turashobora kumenya ko ubwo butunzi abantu bicira abandi budahoraho?
Iyo tutabonye ubutunzi buduca mu myanya y’intoke, tutari bubashe kubugumana canke kububika, twe tubusiga twicuza mu maboko y’abataburondeye, iyo dupfuye.
Ijambo ry’Imana ritwigisha kutabwizirikako, ahubwo tukizirika kuvy’Ubwami bw’Imana.
« Ntimukirundanirize ubutunzi mw isi, ah’ inyenzi n’ingese bibumara, n’ibisuma bikimba bikabgiba. Ariko mwirundanirize ubutunzi mw ijuru, ah’ inyenzi n’ingese bitabumara, hatariyo n’ibisuma vyimba ngo vyibe.”(Matayo 6:19-20)
Vyongeye kandi, inyigisho za Yesu kuvyerekeye amafaranga n’ubutunzi zivuga ko amafaranga ari meza iyo tuyakoresha mu gutezimbere ubwami bw’Imana, ariko akaba mabi iyo atugize abaja bayo.

IGISABISHO:
Uhoraho Mana yacu, dufashe kwibanda ku butunzi bwo mw’ijuru kuruta kwibanda ku butunzi bwo mw’iyi si.
Ni mw’izina ridasanzwe ry’umwana wawe Yesu Kristo tubisavye tuvyizeye, amen.

SILENCE IS POWERFUL

We ain’t got to answer every question.
We have not got to absolve every curious bystander.
We can do like Jesus done when he was with Pilate. He answered them, not a word.

Pilate asked him, « Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you? » But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge–to the great amazement of the governor.(Matthieu 27:13-14)

So, let’s never make it our mission to change the mind of our accusers.
Sometimes our greatest strength is in our ability to shut up.

PRAYER:
Eternal our God, grant us the power to keep our silence whenever it is necessary.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.

LE SILENCE EST PUISSANT

Nous ne sommes pas obligés de répondre à toutes les questions.
Nous ne sommes pas obligés d’absoudre tous les curieux.
Mais nous pouvons faire comme Jésus a fait lorsqu’il était chez Pilate. Il a gardé son silence.

Pilate lui demanda: « N’entends-tu pas de combien de choses ils t’accusent? » Et Jésus ne lui donna de réponse sur aucune parole, ce qui étonna beaucoup le gouverneur.(Matthieu 27:13-14)

Arrêtons de chercher à faire changer d’avis nos accusateurs. C’est perdre du temps.
Parfois, notre plus grande force réside dans notre capacité à nous taire.

PRIÈRE:
Éternel notre Dieu, donnez-nous le pouvoir de garder notre silence chaque fois que cela est nécessaire.
C’est dans le nom précieux de votre fils Jésus-Christ que nous prions, Amen.

THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS

If ever a name was packed with significance, it is the name of Jesus.
The scripture says that Jesus was given the name that is precious:
« Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. »(Philippians 2:9-11)

What does the name Jesus mean?
The name of Jesus, announced to Joseph and Mary by the angels (Matthew 1.21; Luke 1.31), comes from the ancient Greek Ἰησοῦς, Iēsoûs, itself coming from the ancient Hebrew first name ישוע, Iéshua or Yeshua (and has the same root as Joshua).
This word means “God saves” or “God delivers.”

Why is the name of our Lord so powerful?

1. Salvation is in the name of Jesus alone:
“Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved”(Acts 4:11–12; see also John 14:6; 20:31; Acts 2:21; Joel 2:32; 1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 John 2:12)

2. Forgiveness of sins is received through the name of Jesus:
“All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name”(Acts 10:43; see also 22:16)

3. Believers are baptized in the name of Jesus: “Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit’”(Acts 2:38; see also Matthew 28:19; Acts 8:12,15–16; 10:48; 19:5)

4. Healing and miracles were performed in the name of Jesus:
“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see”(Acts 3:16; see also verses 6–8 and 4:30).

5. And Jesus teaches believers to pray in His name; that is, to pray, in His authority, the type of prayer that He would pray:
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it”.(John 14:13–14; see also 15:16; 16:23–24)

In the Bible, when people spoke or acted in the name of Jesus, they did so as the Lord’s representatives with His authority. The very life of the believer is to be lived in the name of Jesus (Colossians 3:17) and by doing so bring glory to God: “We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”(2 Thessalonians 1:12)
The name of Jesus is powerful.

PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us power to live in the name of Jesus.
It is in the precious name of your very son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
