Ikiwa tunamjua Yesu ni nani, ni lazima kabisa tutake kumkaribisha nyumbani kwetu.
Martha alikuwa mmoja wa wale waliomkaribisha Yesu nyumbani kwao.

“Ikawa katika kuenenda kwao aliingia katika kijiji kimoja; mwanamke mmoja jina lake Martha akamkaribisha nyumbani kwake.”(Luka 10:38)

Kwa hakika, kukutana na Yesu popote tunapokutana naye haitoshi, ni lazima tumpokee nyumbani kwetu ili watu wengine wote wa familia yetu pia wamjue, wamsikilize na kupokea baraka zake.
Maria, dada ya Martha, alichukua nafasi hiyo kusikiliza maneno ya Yesu.(Soma Luka 10:39-42)
Na kulingana na Yesu, ni muhimu kusikiliza neno lake kuliko kumkaribisha yeye tu.
Tunapomkaribisha Yesu nyumbani kwetu, tunakaribisha pia wokovu katika familia yetu. Baada ya kuingia nyumbani kwa Zakayo, Yesu akamwambia: “Leo wokovu umefika nyumbani humu.”(Luka 19:9)
Zakayo aliokolewa na kubadilishwa kwa kumpokea Yesu katika maisha yake, lakini mara tu alipompokea Yesu nyumbani kwake, kila mtu nyumbani kwake aliokolewa pia.
Je, umewahi kumpokea Yesu nyumbani kwako?
Je, wanafamilia wako wanaoishi katika nyumba yako wanamjua Yesu?
Ikiwa umeokoka, mlete Yesu nyumbani kwako na kwa familia yako ili wako pia waokolewe.

OMBI:
Bwana Mungu wetu, utujalie kumkaribisha Yesu katika nyumba zetu na katika familia zetu.
Ni katika jina la thamani la mwanao Yesu Kristo tunaomba, Amina.

If you are proud, you think too highly of yourself and exalt yourself above others. This is well described in Isaiah 14:

You said in your heart, « I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. »(Isaiah 14:13-14)

These words are about the king of Babylon, but unfortunately, they also apply to countless others. They describe the essence of human pride.
It is pride that causes humans to often think that they have all the answers and that they can get by just fine without God.
How absurd it is to equate ourselves with the Most High!
And yet, compared to Him, they are but « dust on the scales. »(see Isaiah 40:15)
And when we compare ourselves to others, don’t we sometimes feel better and more important than some of our colleagues, our neighbors or certain members of our family? That’s pride.
Let us know that « God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. »(James 4:6)

PRAYER:
Eternal our God, grant us to avoid the spirit of pride in our lives.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.

Si vous êtes orgueilleux, vous avez une trop haute opinion de vous-même et vous vous exaltez au-dessus des autres. Ceci est bien décrit dans Ésaïe 14:

« Tu disais en ton coeur: Je monterai au ciel, J’élèverai mon trône au-dessus des étoiles de Dieu; Je m’assiérai sur la montagne de l’assemblée, A l’extrémité du septentrion; Je monterai sur le sommet des nues, Je serai semblable au Très Haut. »(Esaïe 14:13-14)

Ces paroles concernent le roi de Babylone, mais malheureusement, elles s’appliquent également à d’innombrables autres personnes. Elles décrivent l’essence de l’orgueil humaine.
C’est l’orgueil qui pousse les humains à penser souvent qu’ils ont toutes les réponses et qu’ils peuvent très bien se débrouiller sans Dieu.
Que c’est absurde de s’assimiler au Très-Haut!
Et pourtant, comparés à Lui, ils ne sont que « poussière sur une balance. »(voir Ésaïe 40:15)
Et lorsque nous nous comparons aux autres, ne nous arrive-t-il pas de nous sentir mieux et plus importants que certains parmi nos collègues, nos voisins ou certains membres de notre famille? Ça c’est l’orgueil.
Sachons que « Dieu résiste aux l’orgueilleux, Mais il fait grâce aux humbles. »(Jacques 4:6)

PRIÈRE:
Éternel notre Dieu, donnez-nous d’éviter l’esprit d’orgueil dans notre vie.
C’est dans le nom précieux de votre fils Jésus-Christ que nous prions, Amen.

Bw’oba ​​weenyumiriza, weelowooza nnyo era weegulumiza okusinga abalala. Kino kyogerwako bulungi mu Isaaya 14:

« Wayogera mu mutima gwo nti, “Ndirinnya mu ggulu, ndigulumiza entebe yange okusinga emunyeenye za Katonda; era nditeeka entebe yange waggulu ntuule ku lusozi olw’okukuŋŋaanirako ku njuyi ez’enkomerero ez’obukiikakkono; nndyambuka okusinga ebire we bikoma, ndyoke nfuuke ng’oyo ali waggulu ennyo.” »(Isaaya 14:13-14)

Ebigambo bino bikwata ku kabaka w’e Babulooni, naye ebyembi, bikwata n’abalala abatabalika. Zinnyonnyola omusingi gw’amalala g’omuntu.
Amalala ge galeetera abantu okulowooza ennyo nti balina eby’okuddamu byonna era nti basobola okuyita obulungi nga tewali Katonda.
Nga kya busirusiru okwenkanankana n’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo!
Era naye, bw’ogeraageranya naye, bali « nfuufu ku minzaani » yokka.(laba Isaaya 40:15)
Era bwe twegeraageranya n’abalala, oluusi tetuwulira bulungi era nga tuli bakulu okusinga abamu ku bannaffe, baliraanwa baffe oba abantu abamu ab’omu maka gaffe? Ekyo kyenyumiriza.
Tukimanye nti « Katonda alwana n’ab’amalala naye abawombeefu abawa ekisa. »(Yakobo 4:6)

OKUSALA:
Katonda waffe ow’olubeerera, tuwe twewale omwoyo gw’amalala mu bulamu bwaffe.
Mu linnya ly’omwana wo Yesu Kristo ery’omuwendo mwe tusaba, Amiina.

Ikiwa una kiburi, unajiona kuwa juu sana na kujiinua juu ya wengine. Hili limeelezewa vyema katika Isaya 14:

« Nawe ulisema moyoni mwako, Nitapanda mpaka mbinguni, Nitakiinua kiti changu juu kuliko nyota za Mungu; Nami nitaketi juu ya mlima wa mkutano, Katika pande za mwisho za kaskazini. Nitapaa kupita vimo vya mawingu, Nitafanana na yeye Aliye juu. »(Isaya 14:13-14)

Maneno haya yanamhusu mfalme wa Babeli, lakini kwa bahati mbaya, yanatumika pia kwa wengine wengi. Yanaelezea kiini cha kiburi cha mwanadamu.
Ni kiburi ambacho huwafanya wanadamu mara nyingi wafikiri kwamba wana majibu yote na kwamba wanaweza kuishi vizuri bila Mungu.
Ni upuuzi ulioje kujilinganisha na Aliye Juu!
Na bado, wakilinganishwa naye, wao ni “mavumbi kwenye mizani.”(ona Isaya 40:15)
Na tunapojilinganisha na wengine, je, nyakati nyingine hatujisikii bora na muhimu zaidi kuliko wenzetu, majirani zetu au watu fulani wa familia yetu? Hiyo ni kiburi.
Tujue kwamba « Mungu huwapinga wajikuzao, bali huwapa neema wanyenyekevu. »(Yakobo 4:6)

OMBI:
Mungu wetu wa milele, tujalie tuepuke roho ya kiburi maishani mwetu.
Ni katika jina la thamani la mwanao Yesu Kristo tunaomba, Amina.

As we are advised to not trust anyone, we are also advised to not be overconfident in ourselves, for just as others are fallible and helpless in the face of life’s hardest challenges, so are we.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”(Proverbs 3:5)

Being confident in yourself is not bad, it is actually good.
When you believe you can do something, it’s easier to do it than when you doubt or underestimate your abilities.
What is bad is being overconfident in yourself.
If we don’t place our fundamental trust in the Lord God, a healthy dose of self-confidence can easily evolve into « being wise in our own eyes » and « relying on our own understanding ».
And so, we find ourselves in the highest place that only God deserves.
The Bible gives a clear warning not to do so: “Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool.”(Proverbs 28:26)

We don’t need to rely on ourselves, because we need someone wiser, stronger and morally perfect. This person is the Lord our God.

PRAYER:
Eternal our God, grant us to never overly our self-confidence.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
