ALHAMISI TAREHE 26 AGOSTI 2021, ASUBUHI
Isaya 59:3-4
3 Kwa maana mikono yenu imetiwa unajisi kwa damu, na vidole vyenu vimetiwa unajisi kwa uovu; midomo yenu imenena uongo, ndimi zenu zimenong’ona ubaya.
4 Hapana adaiye kwa haki, wala hapana atetaye kwa kweli; hutumainia ubatili, hunena uongo; hupata mimba ya madhara, na kuzaa uovu.
Matumizi ya Ulimi;
Nabii Isaya alitumwa kuleta ujumbe wa Bwana, uliohusu uovu na udhalimu kuadhibiwa. Katika somo la leo asubuhi, Nabii Isaya anaonya juu ya uongo uliokithiri na matumizi mabaya ya ulimi kwa ujumla.
Watu walinena isivyompendeza Mungu. Walikuwa waongo. Isaya anaita yote wanayofanya kuwa ni uovu. Anawaonya na kuwaambia waache, maana mambo wafanyayo ni chukizo kwa Bwana.
Ujumbe huu unatukumbusha kuwa matumizi mabaya ya ulimi ni chukizo mbele za Bwana. Yeye huchukia tabia za namna hii. Uongo, usengenyaji, dhihaka, matusi, na mengineyo kama hayo tunaitwa kuyaacha, ili ndimi zetu zitumike kwa utukufu wa Mungu.
Siku njema.
THURSDAY 26TH AUGUST 2021. MORNING
ISAIAH 59:3-4 (NIV)
3 For your hands are stained with blood,
your fingers with guilt.
Your lips have spoken falsely,
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4 No one calls for justice;
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies;
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
Use of Tongue;
The prophet Isaiah was sent to bring the Lord's message, which was about wickedness and injustice. In this morning's lesson, the prophet Isaiah warns against extreme lies and misuse of the tongue in general.
The people said something displeasing to God. They were liars. Isaiah calls everything they do evil. He warns them and tells them to stop, because what they are doing is an abomination to the Lord.
This message reminds us that the misuse of the tongue is an abomination to the Lord. He hates such behaviour. Lies, gossip, slander, insults, and the like are called upon to stop, so that our tongues may be used for the glory of God.
Good day.
