THE LION OF JUDAH MINISTRY IN THE WORLD

« Uwo ni we mahoro yacu, kuko yahinduye twebwe ababiri kuba umwe akuyeho ubwanzi, ari bwo rusika rwari hagati yacu rutugabanya. » (Abefeso 2:14)

Tubaye mu isi aho buri muntu ashaka amahoro.
Ibihugu bishyira umukono ku masezerano y’amahoro.
Imiryango ishakira amahoro mu biganiro.
Abantu na bo bayashakira mu mafaranga, mu byishimo by’isi, mu ntsinzi cyangwa mu bindi bibarangaza.
Nyamara, n’ubwo ibyo byose babigeraho, imitima yabo ikomeza kubura amahoro.

Kubera iki?

Ni uko amahoro nyayo atava mu mibereho cyangwa mu bihe umuntu arimo.
Amahoro ni umuntu: YESU KRISTO.

Intumwa Pawulo ntiyavuze gusa ko Yesu atanga amahoro. Ahubwo yavuze ati: « Ni we mahoro yacu. »

Mbega ukuntu uku kuri gukomeye!

Mbere y’umusaraba, icyaha cyari cyaradutandukanyije n’Imana. Kandi cyari cyaradutandukanyije n’abandi bantu binyuze mu rwango, ubwibone, urwikekwe, amakimbirane n’ubundi bwoko bwose bw’inzitizi.

Icyaha cyari cyubatse urukuta nta muntu n’umwe washoboraga gusenya.

Ariko Yesu yaje gukora ibyo nta wundi muntu washoboraga gukora.

Kubera igitambo cye ku musaraba, yasenye urukuta rwatutandukanyaga n’Imana. Yakuyeho urwango maze atwunga n’Imana Data.
Uhereye ubwo, umuntu wese umwizera ntaba akiri umwanzi w’Imana, ahubwo aba abaye umwana wayo ikunda.

Iyo twiyunze n’Imana, n’uburyo tubona abandi burahinduka.

Urwango rusimburwa n’urukundo.

Kwihorera gusimburwa no kubabarira.

Amacakubiri asimburwa n’ubumwe.

Inkuta zirasenyuka, ibiraro bikubakwa.

Muri Kristo, inkuta zose zitandukanya abantu zarasenyutse.
Ubu turi ubwoko bumwe, umuryango umwe n’umubiri umwe.

Ni yo mpamvu umwana w’Imana nyakuri adashobora kubaho mu rwango, kwimakaza ivangura, kubika inzika cyangwa kwishimira amacakubiri.
Uzi Kristo aba umwubatsi w’amahoro, kuko Uwo ari we Mahoro aba atuye muri we.

Ibyo ntibivuga ko ibigeragezo bizashira.
Imiyaga y’ubuzima izakomeza kuza.
Ingorane zizakomeza kubaho.
Akarengane na ko kazakomeza kuboneka.

Ariko hagati muri ibyo byose, uwizera akomeza gushikama, atari uko agenzura ibimubaho, ahubwo ni uko Kristo aba muri we.

Amahoro ya Yesu si ukubura intambara; ni ukubaho kwe muri twe hagati mu ntambara.

Muri iki gihe, abantu benshi bashakira amahoro mu mibereho, mu butunzi cyangwa mu bisubizo by’abantu, aho kuyashakira kuri Yesu Kristo, ari we Mahoro nyakuri.

Niba Yesu Kristo ari Umwami wawe, usanzwe ufite icyo isi ishaka cyane ariko itazigera ibona itamufite: ni we Mahoro yawe.

ISENGESHO:
Mwami Yesu, urakoze kuko uri amahoro yanjye.
Urakoze kuko wanyunze na Data binyuze ku musaraba wawe.
Reka amahoro yawe ategeke umutima wanjye kandi angire igikoresho cy’ubwiyunge.
Mu izina rya Yesu Kristo. Amen.

Kuva ico gihe, uwizera Kristo ntaba akiri umwansi w’Imana, ahubwo aba abaye umwana wayo ikunda.

Iyo tumaze kwuzuzwa n’Imana, uburyo tubona abandi na bwo burahinduka.

Kwihora gusubirirwa no guharirana.

Amacakubiri asubirirwa n’ubumwe.

Inzitiro zirasenyuka, ibiraro bikubakwa.

Muri Kristo, inzitiro zose zitandukanya abantu zarasambuwe.
Ubu turi ubwoko bumwe, umuryango umwe n’umubiri umwe.

This is an excellent question that deserves to be examined in the light of God’s Word. No. The Bible does not teach that olive oil is superior to other oils because the olive tree is blessed by God or because it possesses a special power to heal.

In James 5:14, we read:
«Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.»

This passage teaches us three important truths:

1. The main emphasis is not on the oil, but on the prayer of faith.

The following verse, James 5:15, says:
«And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up.»

The passage does not say that the oil heals. It is God who works in response to the prayer of faith.

2. The oil was a symbol, not the source of healing power.

In the culture of ancient Israel, oil was used to anoint kings, priests, and prophets. It was also used to treat certain wounds. Therefore, anointing a sick person with oil was a symbolic act, expressing that the person was being entrusted to God and that faith was being placed in His intervention. The power did not reside in the oil itself.

3. The Bible does not teach that it must specifically be olive oil.

Because olive oil was the most common oil in Israel, it was naturally the one referred to by James. However, nowhere does Scripture state that only olive oil is acceptable to God or that it possesses greater spiritual power than any other oil.

Why is the olive tree so significant in the Bible?

The olive tree is a powerful biblical symbol. It represents peace, blessing, anointing, stability, and fruitfulness. However, its symbolic significance does not mean that its oil has a unique spiritual power greater than that of other oils.

Some Christians choose to use olive oil when praying for the sick in order to follow the biblical example, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, claiming that olive oil itself has the power to heal, cast out demons, or bring blessings goes beyond what the Bible teaches.

According to Scripture, the power is not in the oil but in God. It is God who heals, restores, and performs miracles through the name of Jesus Christ in response to faith. The oil is only a symbol; Christ is the true source of healing and life.

Apostle Dr. Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

C’est une excellente question qui mérite d’être examinée à la lumière de la Parole de Dieu.

La réponse est NON.

La Bible n’enseigne pas que l’huile d’olive est supérieure aux autres huiles parce que l’olivier est un arbre béni par Dieu ou parce qu’elle posséderait un pouvoir particulier de guérison.

Dans Jacques 5:14, il est écrit:
«Quelqu’un parmi vous est-il malade ? Qu’il appelle les anciens de l’Église, et que les anciens prient pour lui, en l’oignant d’huile au nom du Seigneur.»

Ce passage nous enseigne trois vérités essentielles:

1. L’élément principal n’est pas l’huile, mais la prière de la foi.

Le verset suivant, Jacques 5:15, déclare:
«La prière de la foi sauvera le malade, et le Seigneur le relèvera.»

Le texte ne dit pas que c’est l’huile qui guérit.
C’est Dieu qui agit en réponse à la prière de la foi.

2. L’huile était un symbole, et non la source de la puissance de guérison.

Dans la culture d’Israël, l’huile servait à consacrer les rois, les prêtres et les prophètes.
Elle était aussi utilisée pour soigner certaines blessures. Oindre un malade d’huile était donc un geste symbolique exprimant sa consécration à Dieu et la confiance en son intervention.
La puissance ne résidait pas dans l’huile elle-même.

3. La Bible n’enseigne pas qu’il doit s’agir exclusivement d’huile d’olive.

En Israël, l’huile la plus couramment utilisée était naturellement l’huile d’olive. C’est pourquoi Jacques parle simplement d’huile.
Cependant, aucun passage biblique n’affirme que seule l’huile d’olive est acceptable devant Dieu ou qu’elle possède une puissance spirituelle supérieure.

Pourquoi l’olivier occupe-t-il une place importante dans la Bible ?

L’olivier est un symbole fort dans les Écritures. Il représente notamment la paix, la bénédiction, l’onction, la stabilité et la fécondité. Toutefois, le fait que cet arbre ait une riche valeur symbolique ne signifie pas que son huile possède un pouvoir spirituel particulier supérieur à celui des autres huiles.

Certains chrétiens choisissent d’utiliser de l’huile d’olive lorsqu’ils prient pour les malades afin de suivre l’exemple biblique, et cela ne pose aucun problème.
En revanche, affirmer que l’huile d’olive possède en elle-même le pouvoir de guérir, de chasser les démons ou d’attirer les bénédictions va au-delà de ce que la Bible enseigne.

Selon l’enseignement biblique, la puissance ne réside pas dans l’huile, mais en Dieu.
C’est Dieu qui guérit, qui restaure et qui accomplit les miracles par le nom de Jésus-Christ et en réponse à la foi. L’huile n’est qu’un symbole; le Christ est la véritable source de la guérison et de la vie.

Iki ni ikibazo ciza kandi gikwiye kwihwezwa twisunze Ijambo ry’Imana.

Inyishu ni OYA.

Bibiliya ntivuga ko amavuta ya elayo aruta ayandi mavuta kubera ko igiti cayo cahezagiwe n’Imana canke ko afise ububasha budasanzwe bwo gukiza.

Muri Yakobo 5:14 handitswe hati:
« Muri mwebge namba harih’ urwaye, n’atumekw abashingantahe b’ishengero, baze kumusengera, bamusige amavuta ya elayo mw izina ry’Umwami wacu. »
(Yakobo 5:14)

Muri uwo murongo hari ibintu bitatu bikomeye dukwiye gutahura:

1. Igihambaye s’amavuta, ahubwo n’isengesho ryo kwizera.

Ku murongo wa 15, Yakobo avuga ati:
«Kand’ ugusenga gufatanije n’ukwizera kuzokiza umurwayi, Umwami azomuvyura…»

Nta hantu havuga ko amavuta ari yo akiza.
Ahubwo ni Imana ikora biciye mw’isengesho ryo kwizera.

2. Amavuta yari ikimenyetso, si yo yari afise ububasha bwo gukiza.

Mu muco w’Abisirayeli, amavuta yakoreshwa mu gusiga abami, abaherezi n’abavugishwa n’Imana, kandi rimwe na rimwe no mu kuvura ibikomere. Kuyasiga ku murwayi kwari ikimenyetso c’uko uwo murwayi ashikirijwe Imana kandi yizigiwe ubuntu bwayo. Ariko ububasha ntibwari mu mavuta ubwayo.

3. Bibiliya ntiyigisha ko ategerezwa kuba amavuta ya elayo gusa.

Kubera ko muri Isirayeli amavuta ya elayo ari yo yakoreshwa cane mu buzima bwa misi yose, ni yo Yakobo yavuze. Ariko nta tegeko na rimwe rivuga ko ari yo yonyene Imana yemera canke ko ariyo yonyene ifise ububasha bw’impwemu.

None kuki igiti c’umwelayo kivugwa cane muri Bibiliya?

Igiti c’umwelayo ni ikimenyetso gikomeye muri Bibiliya.
Gisobanura amahoro, umugisha, ugusigwa n’Imana, ugushikama n’uburumbuke. Ariko kuba gifise ico gisobanuro c’impwemu ntibisobanura ko amavuta yaco afise ububasha budasanzwe burusha ayandi mavuta.

Abakristo bamwe bahitamwo gukoresha amavuta ya elayo mu gusengera abarwayi kugira bakurikize akarorero tubona muri Bibiliya, kandi ivyo nta kibazo kirimwo.
Ariko kwemeza ko amavuta ya elayo ubwayo afise ububasha bwo gukiza, kwirukana abadayimoni canke kuzana imigisha, ni ukwongerako ivyo Bibiliya itigisha.

Mu nyigisho za Bibiliya, ububasha ntiburi mu mavuta, buri mu Mana.
Ni Imana ikiza, ikiza indwara kandi ikora ibitangaza biciye mw’izina rya Yesu Kristo no mu kwizera.

Amavuta ni ikimenyetso gusa; Kristo ni we Soko ry’ugukira n’ubugingo.

« I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord. »(Psalm 117:17)

This declaration of the psalmist is not merely a human statement of confidence; it is an expression of faith in the power and faithfulness of God.

In the midst of difficulties and threats, the psalmist chose to believe that his life was in the hands of the LORD. He understood that God had a purpose for him and that no one could end his journey before the time appointed by God.

As children of God, we too can walk with this assurance: our lives are not abandoned to chance. We are in the hands of a heavenly Father who loves us and cares for us.

The greatest life that God gives is not only a prolongation of our earthly days, but eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Jesus declared:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

This eternal life is not merely a promise for the future; it is a reality that every believer already possesses in Christ.

The apostle John writes:
“God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son… I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:11–13)

Therefore, our true security does not rest only in the number of our years on earth, but in the fact that our life is hidden in Christ. Even circumstances cannot change what God has accomplished for those who belong to Him.

We can therefore declare with faith:
I will not live by my own strength, but by the grace of God.
I am not abandoned to the power of death, because Christ has given me eternal life.
I will declare the works of the LORD, because my life belongs to the One who created and redeemed me.

May our entire existence become a testimony of His goodness and faithfulness.

PRAYER:
Lord my God, thank You because my life is in Your hands.
Teach me to walk according to Your will, to rely on Your grace, and to proclaim Your works around me.
Thank You for the precious gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Apostle Dr. Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA

«Je ne mourrai pas, je vivrai, et je raconterai les œuvres de l’Éternel.»(Psaumes 118:17)

Cette déclaration du psalmiste n’est pas simplement une parole de confiance humaine ; c’est une expression de foi en la puissance et en la fidélité de Dieu.

Au milieu des difficultés et des menaces, le psalmiste a choisi de croire que sa vie était entre les mains de l’Éternel. Il savait que Dieu avait un dessein pour lui et que personne ne pouvait accomplir ce dessein avant le temps fixé par Dieu.

Nous aussi, en tant qu’enfants de Dieu, nous pouvons marcher avec cette assurance : notre vie n’est pas abandonnée au hasard. Nous sommes entre les mains d’un Père céleste qui nous aime et qui prend soin de nous.

La plus grande vie que Dieu nous donne n’est pas seulement une prolongation de nos jours sur cette terre, mais la vie éternelle en Jésus-Christ.

Jésus a déclaré :
« Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde qu’il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu’il ait la vie éternelle.»
(Jean 3:16)

Cette vie éternelle n’est pas une simple promesse pour l’avenir ; elle est une réalité que le croyant possède déjà en Christ.

L’apôtre Jean écrit :
«Dieu nous a donné la vie éternelle, et cette vie est dans son Fils… Je vous ai écrit ces choses, afin que vous sachiez que vous avez la vie éternelle, vous qui croyez au nom du Fils de Dieu. »
(1 Jean 5:11-13)

Ainsi, notre véritable sécurité ne repose pas seulement dans le nombre de nos années sur la terre, mais dans le fait que notre vie est cachée en Christ. Même les circonstances ne peuvent pas changer ce que Dieu a accompli pour ceux qui Lui appartiennent.

Nous pouvons donc déclarer avec foi :
Je ne vivrai pas par ma propre force, mais par la grâce de Dieu. Je ne suis pas abandonné au pouvoir de la mort, car Christ m’a donné la vie éternelle. Je raconterai les œuvres de l’Éternel, car ma vie appartient à Celui qui m’a créé et racheté.

Que toute notre existence soit un témoignage de Sa bonté et de Sa fidélité.

PRIÈRE:
Seigneur mon Dieu, merci parce que ma vie est entre Tes mains.
Apprends-moi à marcher dans Ta volonté, à compter sur Ta grâce et à annoncer Tes œuvres autour de moi.
Merci pour le don précieux de la vie éternelle en Jésus-Christ. Amen.

« Sinzapfa ahubwo nzarama, Ntekerereze abantu imirimo Uwiteka yakoze. » (Zaburi 118:17)

Aya magambo y’umwanditsi wa Zaburi si amagambo yo kwiyiringira gusa; ni amagambo y’ukwizera ashingiye ku mbaraga no ku budahemuka bw’Imana.

Mu gihe yari ahanganye n’ibibazo n’iterabwoba, umwanditsi wa Zaburi yahisemo kwizera ko ubuzima bwe buri mu maboko y’Uwiteka.
Yamenye ko Imana yari ifite umugambi kuri we kandi ko nta muntu washoboraga kurangiza urugendo rwe mbere y’igihe Imana yageneye.

Natwe, nk’abana b’Imana, dushobora kugendera muri iri shyaka: ubuzima bwacu ntibuterwa n’impanuka. Turi mu maboko ya Data wo mu ijuru udukunda kandi utwitaho.

Ubuzima bukomeye kuruta ubundi Imana iduha si ukongera gusa iminsi yacu kuri iyi si, ahubwo ni ubugingo buhoraho muri Yesu Kristo.

Yesu yaravuze ati:
«Kuko Imana yakunze abari mu isi cyane, byatumye itanga Umwana wayo w’ikinege kugira ngo umwizera wese atarimbuka, ahubwo ahabwe ubugingo buhoraho.» (Yohana 3:16)

Ubugingo buhoraho si isezerano ryo mu gihe kizaza gusa; ni ukuri umwizera wese afite muri Kristo.

Intumwa Yohana yaranditse ati:
«Kandi uko guhamya ni uku: ni uko Imana yaduhaye ubugingo buhoraho, kandi ubwo bugingo bubonerwa mu Mwana wayo.Ufite uwo Mwana ni we ufite ubwo bugingo, naho udafite Umwana w’Imana nta bugingo afite.Ibyo ndabibandikiye mwebwe abizeye izina ry’Umwana w’Imana, kugira ngo mumenye yuko mufite ubugingo buhoraho.»
(1 Yohana 5:11-13)

Ni yo mpamvu umutekano wacu nyakuri udashingiye gusa ku myaka tuzamara kuri iyi si, ahubwo ushingiye ku kuba ubuzima bwacu buri muri Kristo. Nta mimerere cyangwa ibihe bigoye bishobora guhindura ibyo Imana yakoze ku bw’abayo.

Ni yo mpamvu dushobora kuvuga dufite kwizera tuti:
Sinzabaho ku mbaraga zanjye bwite, ahubwo nzabaho ku bw’ubuntu bw’Imana. Ntabwo natanzwe mu bubasha bw’urupfu, kuko Kristo yampaye ubugingo buhoraho. Nzavuga imirimo y’Uwiteka, kuko ubuzima bwanjye ari ubwe, We wampaye kubaho kandi akancungura.

Ubuzima bwacu bwose bube ubuhamya bw’ineza n’ubudahemuka bw’Imana.

ISENGESHO:
Mwami Mana yanjye, ndagushimira kuko ubuzima bwanjye buri mu maboko yawe.

Aya majambo y’umwanditsi wa Zaburi s’ukuvuga gusa ko yizera ubuzima bwiwe; n’uguserura ukwizera afitiye ububasha n’ubwizigirwa bw’Imana.

Mu bihe vy’ingorane n’iterabwoba, umwanditsi wa Zaburi yahisemwo kwizera ko ubuzima bwiwe buri mu maboko y’Uhoraho.
Yatahuye ko Imana yari ifise umugambi kuri we kandi ko ata muntu n’umwe yoshobora guhagarika urugendo rwiwe imbere y’igihe Imana yashinze.

Natwe, nk’abana b’Imana, turashobora kugendera muri uku kwizigira: ubuzima bwacu ntibuyoborwa n’impanuka. Turi mu maboko ya Data wo mw’ijuru adukunda kandi atwitwararika.

Ubuzima bukuru kuruta ubundi Imana iduha si ukwongera gusa imisi yacu kw’isi, ahubwo n’ubugingo budashira muri Yesu Kristo.

Yesu yavuze ati:
«Kuk’ urukundo Imana yakunze abari mw isi ari rwo rwatumye itanga Umwana wayo w’ikinege, ng’ umwizera wese ntaz’ apfe rubi, arikw ahabge ubugingo budashira.» (Yohana 3:16)

Ubugingo budashira s’umuhango w’ivyo muri kazoza gusa; ni ukuri umwizera wese afise muri Kristo.

Intumwa Yohana yanditse ati:
«Imana yaduhaye ubugingo budashira, kand’ ubgo bugingo ko buri mu Mwana wayo. Ufise Umwana wayo ni we afise ubgo bugingo; udafise Umwana w’Imana ntafise ubgo bugingo. Ivyo ndabibandikiye, mwebge mwizeye izina ry’Umwana w’Imana, kugira ngo mumenye yuko mufise ubugingo budashira.»
(1 Yohana 5:11-13)

Ni co gituma umutekano wacu nyakuri udashingiye gusa ku myaka tuzomara kw’isi, ahubwo ushingiye ku kuba ubuzima bwacu buhishijwe muri Kristo.
Nta ngorane canke ibihe bibi bishobora guhindura ivyo Imana yarangije ku bw’abayo.

Ni co gituma dushobora kuvuga dufise ukwizera tuti:
Sinzobaho ku nkomezi zanje, ahubwo nzobeshwaho n’ubuntu bw’Imana. Sinatanzwe mu maboko y’urupfu, kuko Kristo yampaye ubugingo budashira. Nzokwamamaza ibikorwa vy’Uhoraho, kuko ubuzima bwanje ari ubwiwe, we yandemye kandi akancungura.

Ubuzima bwacu bwose bube igishingantahe c’ubwiza bw’Imana n’ubwizigirwa bwayo.

IGISABISHO:
Mwami Mana yanje, ndagushimira kuko ubuzima bwanje buri mu maboko yawe.
Nyigisha kugendera mu bugombe bwawe, kwizigira ubuntu bwawe no kwamamaza ibikorwa vyawe.
Ndagushimiye ku ngabire y’agaciro y’ubugingo budashira muri Yesu Kristo. Amen.

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, let us be at peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)

Many believers say, “I am righteous,” but few truly understand why they are righteous.

The Christian’s righteousness is not the result of good works, personal effort, or perfect obedience.
If our righteousness depended on our conduct, none of us could stand before God.

The Bible teaches that we are righteous because God has justified us.

Justification is God’s sovereign act by which He declares righteous the sinner who puts his faith in Jesus Christ.
It is not a reward but a gift of grace.
It is not man who declares himself righteous; it is God who justifies him.

To be justified does not mean that we have never sinned.
It means that Jesus Christ bore our condemnation on the cross and that His righteousness has been credited to us.
In exchange for our guilt, God clothes us with the perfect righteousness of His Son.

That is why the apostle Paul declares:
“For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Therefore, our identity does not rest on our spiritual performance but on the finished work of Christ.
Good works do not produce justification; they are its fruit.
We do not obey in order to be accepted by God; we obey because we have already been accepted in Jesus Christ.

However, this truth should never become an excuse to continue living in sin. Everyone who has truly been justified also receives a new life.
The grace that justifies is the same grace that transforms.
The righteous do not seek to earn salvation; they seek to honor the One who has saved them.

When Satan reminds you of your past, remind him that God has justified you.
When your conscience accuses you, remember that Christ died and rose again for you.
When people unjustly condemn you, remember that the judgment that truly matters is God’s—and He has declared you righteous through faith.

Today, walk with confidence, not because you are without fault, but because Jesus is without fault.
Never place your trust in yourself, but in the One who has become your righteousness.

PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, thank You for justifying me through faith in Jesus Christ.
I renounce all confidence in my own merits and rely entirely on the finished work of Your Son.
Help me to live each day in a manner worthy of this grace, with humility, holiness, and gratitude.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
