Matthew 13:4, 19; (KJV); And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up: When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the wayside.
Understanding is the retentive capacity of the human spirit. The spirit of a man does not memorise things, like some are prone to think. The mind memorises, the spirit understands.
It is erroneous to assume that what you have memorised is what you have understood. There are many people who memorise scriptures and truths that they have not understood.
God does not expect you to merely commit truth to memory. Anything that is merely committed to memory can fall victim to the fowls of the air. The enemy can snatch it away. This is why some people forget certain things immediately after a sermon and cannot even quote a simple line of what was spoken. They did not understand what was being spoken. Because they did not understand, the Bible says that the wicked one catches it away.
In Job 28:7, the Bible says, “There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen.” The path spoken of herein, is the path of understanding.
What should this mean to you, child of God? The life of the spirit is not merely about accumulating more knowledge and revelations. It is not even in the abundance of the scriptures that you have read. It is not in the fact that you have read the Bible cover to cover forty times over.
Ask yourself the candid question, have I understood what I have heard or read? If you have not, read or listen to that teaching over and over again until understanding settles in your spirit because understanding is the first element for any germination of the Word.
FURTHER STUDY: Job 28:7, Proverbs 4:7
GOLDEN NUGGET: Understanding is the retentive capacity of the human spirit. The spirit of a man does not memorise things, like some are prone to think. The mind memorises, the spirit understands.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. The Bible says that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. I thank You because I do not only accumulate knowledge. I perceive by the ears and get deeper insight into everything You say to me. In this wisdom, I bear much fruit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

KU BW’OKUTEGEERA
Omutume Grace Lubega.
Matayo 13:4,19; (KJV); Bwe yali ng’asiga, ensigo endala ne zigwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo, ennyonyi ne zijja ne zizirya: Buli awulira ekigambo eky’obwakabaka, nga takitegedde, omubi oyo ajja, n’akwakula ekisigiddwa mu mutima gwe. Oyo ye yasigibwa ku mabbali g’ekkubo.
Okutegeera bwe busobozi obw’okutereka obw’omwoyo ogw’omuntu. Omwoyo gw’omuntu tegujjukira bintu ng’abamu bwe baleeteddwa okukirowooza. Endowoza y’ejjukira, omwoyo gutegeera.
Eba nsobi okusuubira nti ky’okutte ky’otegedde. Waliyo abantu bangi abakwata ebyawandiikibwa n’amazima bye batategedde.
Katonda takusuubira kuleka bulesi mazima ku ddaala ly’okujjukira. Ekintu kyonna ekirekeddwa oburekezzi eri okujjukira kisobola okuliibwa ebinyonyi eby’omubbanga. Omulabe asobola okukibbawo. Eno y’ensonga lwaki abantu abamu beerabira ebintu ebimu mbagirawo ng’enjiri yaakaggwa nga tebasobola na kwogerayo wadde ekintu ekimu okuva mu byogeddwa. Tebategedde bibadde byogerwa. Kubanga tebaategedde, Baibuli egamba nti omubi akibabbako.
Mu Yobu 28:7, Baibuli egamba, “Waliyo ekkubo ennyonyi eyigga ly’etamanyi, So n’amaaso ga kamunyi tegalirabanga.” Ekkubo eryogerwako wano, ly’ekkubo ery’okutegeera.
Kino kirina kutegeeza ki gy’oli, mwana wa Katonda? Obulamu obw’omwoyo tebuli bubeezi ku kweyongera okukunnaanya okumanya n’okubikkulirwa kyokka. Ssi na mu bungi bwa byawandiikibwa by’osomye. Tekiri ku mazima nti osomye Baibuli ng’ogimalako emirundi ana.
Weebuuze ekibuuzo eky’enkizo, nti ntegedde bye mpulidde oba bye nsomye? Bw’oba tobitegedde, soma oba owulirize okusomesa okwo enfunda eziwera okutuusa okutegeera bwe kunaatula mu mwoyo gwo kubanga okutegeera kye kisaanyizo ekisooka eky’okukula kwonna okw’ekigambo.
YONGERA OSOME: Yobu 28:7, Engero 4:7.
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okutegeera bwe busobozi obw’okutereka obw’omwoyo ogw’omuntu. Omwoyo gw’omuntu tegujjukira bintu ng’abamu bwe baleeteddwa okukirowooza. Endowoza y’ejjukira, omwoyo gutegeera.
ESSAALA: Kitaffe omwagalwa, Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Baibuli egamba nti omwana wa Katonda azze era atuwadde okutegeera. Nkwebaza kubanga ssikunnaanya bukunnaanya kumanya kyokka. Mbikkulirwa nga nkozesa amatu era ne nfuna endaba ey’ebuziba mu buli kimu ky’oyogera gyendi. Mu magezi gano, mbala ebibala bingi. Mu linnya lya Yesu, Amiina.

Okwetegyereza n’okubaasa okw’omwoyo w’omuntu kubiika ebintu. Omwoyo w’omuntu tarikukwaata ebintu nk’abamwe okubarikuteekateeka. Obwongo nibukwaata, omwoyo nayetegyereza.
N’enshobi kuteekateeka ngu eki okwatsire omu mutwe nikyo ki oyetegyereize. Hariho abantu baingi abarikukwaata ebyahahandiikirwe n’amazima omu mutwe ebi bateetegyereize.

Omu kitabo kya Yobu 28:7, Baiburi negira eti, “Ogwo muhanda tigumanywa mpungu, N’eriisho ry’eishamba tirikagureebaga.” Omuhanda ogurikugambwaho aha n’omuhanda gw’okwetegyereza.
Eki kishemereire kumanyisa ki ahariiwe mwana wa Ruhanga we? Amagara g’omwoyo tigari mu kukanyisa okumanya kwingi n’ebyokushuuruurirwa. Tigari n’omu bwingi bw’ebyahandiikirwe ebi oshomire. Tigari omu kugira ngu oshomire Baiburi yoona kugihezayo emirundi makumi ana n’okukiraho.
Yebuuze ekibuuzo kikuru eki, naayetegyereza eki naahurira narishi eki naashoma? Waaba otaakyetegyereza, shoma ninga ohurire okwegyesa okwo emirundi n’emirundi okuhitsya obu okwetegyereza kurataahe gye omu mwoyo waawe ahabw’okuba okwetegyereza nikyo kirikubandizaho omu kumera kw’ekigambo.
SHOMA NEEBI: Yobu 28:7, Enfumu 4:7.
EZAABU: Okwetegyereza n’okubaasa okw’omwoyo w’omuntu kubiika ebintu. Omwoyo w’omuntu tarikukwaata ebintu nk’abamwe okubarikuteekateeka. Obwongo nibukwaata, omwoyo nayetegyereza.
OKUSHABA: Taata omukundwa, Ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. Baiburi negira ngu Omwana wa Ruhanga akaija kandi yaatuha okwetegyereza. Ninkusiima ahabw’okuba tindikukanyisa okumanya kwonka. Nintaanisa n’amatu kandi ntuunga okwetegyereza okurikukiraho omu buri kimwe eki orikungambira. Omu bwengye obu, ninyana ebyaana. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.

KUHUSU KUELEWA
Mtume Grace Lubega
Mathayo 13:4, 19; (KJV); Hata alipokuwa akipanda, mbegu nyingine zilianguka karibu na njia, ndege wakaja wakazila. Kila mtu alisikiapo neno la ufalme asielewe nalo, huja yule mwovu, akalinyakua lilipopandwa moyoni mwake. Huyo ndiye aliyepandwa karibu na njia.
Kuelewa ni uwezo wa roho ya mwanadamu wa kuhifadhi mambo. Roho ya mtu haikariri na kuweka vitu kwenye kumbukumbu, kama wengine wanavyofikiria. Akili hukariri, roho huelewa.
Ni makosa kudhani kuwa kile ulichokariri ndicho umeelewa. Kuna watu wengi ambao wanakariri maandiko na kweli ambazo hawajaelewa.
Mungu hatarajii tu uweke ukweli kwa kumbukumbu. Chochote ambacho huwekwa tu kwenye kumbukumbu kinaweza kuhasiriwa na ndege wa angani. Adui anaweza kukipokonya. Hii ndiyo sababu watu wengine husahau mambo fulani mara tu baada ya mahubiri na hawawezi hata kunukuu mstari rahisi wa kile kilichonenwa. Hawakuelewa kile kilichokuwa kinasemwa. Kwa sababu hawakuelewa, Biblia inasema kwamba yule mwovu hukinyakua.
Katika Ayubu 28:7, Biblia inasema, “Njia ile hapana ndege mkali aijuaye; Wala jicho la tai halijaiona.” Njia inayozungumziwa hapa, ni njia ya uelewa.
Je! Hii inapaswa kumaanisha nini kwako, mwana wa Mungu? Maisha ya roho sio haihusu tu kukusanya maarifa zaidi na ufunuo. Si katika wingi wa maandiko ambayo umesoma. Wala sio katika ukweli kwamba umesoma Biblia ukurasa moja hadi lingine mara arobaini zaidi.
Jiulize swali dhahiri, je! Nimeelewa kile nilichosikia au kusoma? Ikiwa haujaelewa, soma au usikilize mafundisho hayo tena na tena mpaka uelewa utakapokaa ndani ya roho yako kwa sababu uelewa ni jambo la kiini katika kukua kwa Neno.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Ayubu 28:7, Mithali 4:7
UJUMBE MKUU: Kuelewa ni uwezo wa kuhifadi wa roho ya mwanadamu. Roho ya mtu haikariri na kuweka vitu kwenye kumbukumbu, kama wengine wanavyofikiria. Akili hukariri, roho huelewa.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Ninakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Biblia inasema kwamba Mwana wa Mungu amekuja na ametupa uelewa. Ninakushukuru kwa sababu sikusanyi tu maarifa. Ninaona kwa masikio na kupata ufahamu wa kina kwa kila kitu Unachoniambia. Kwa hekima hii, mimi huzaa matunda mengi. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
