Nahindutse mfite imyaka cumi n’umwe, mbatirizwa mu itorero ry’Abametodisiti mfite imyaka cumi n’ibiri y’ubukuru.

Nari mfite inzara n’inyota byo kugira agakiza gashyitse, nshaka kugendera mu bushake bw’Imana mu buryo bwuzuye. Narwanaga intambara uko bukeye n’uko bwije kugira ngo ndonke ubwo butunzi butagira akagero butabasha kugurwa n’ibyo mu isi byose.

Muri ubwo bwihebe narimo, namaze ibyumweru bitatu nta mirasire y’umucyo yamurikaga mu gicu cy’umwijima w’icuraburindi cyari kibuditse ahanzengurutse. Noneho nagize inzozi inshuro ebyiri zangejejeho imirasire yoroheje y’umucyo n’ibyiringiro. Nyuma y’ibyo naje kubwira ibyanjye byose mama wari umubyeyi wamaramaje. Yambwiye ko ntabaye impabe kandi angira inama yo kujya kureba umuvandimwe witwaga Stockman wabwiririzaga abategereje i Portland. Naramwiringiraga cyane kuko yari umugaragu ukundwa kandi wamaramaje wa Kristo. Amagambo ye yankoze ku mutima antera ibyiringiro. Nasubiye imuhira maze nongera kujya imbere y’Imana, nyisezeranya ko nzakora kandi nkihanganira ikintu cyose igihe Yesu azamwenyurira. Ya nshingano yongeye kungarukaho. Kuri uwo mugoroba hari kubaho amateraniro maze ndayitabira, kandi ubwo abandi bapfukamaga ngo basenge, napfukamanye nabo mpinda umushyitsi, maze ubwo abantu babiri cyangwa batatu bari bamaze gusenga, nabumbuye akanwa kanjye nsenga ntabizi, maze amasezerano y’Imana ansohoreraho nk’amasaro y’igiciro cyinshi nashoboraga guhabwa kubwo gusaba gusa. Ubwo nasengaga, numvise ntuye wa mutwaro no kwiheba nari maranye igihe kirekire ku mutima wanjye, maze umugisha w’Imana uncuncumurwaho umeze nk’ikime. Nahaye Imana ikuzo kubwo ibyari bimbayeho, ariko nifuzaga ko uwo mugisha warushaho kwiyongera. Ntabwo nanyuzwe kugeza igihe numvise Imana yuzuye ubugingo bwanjye.

Nta kindi kintu nashoboraga kubona uretse Yesu n’ikuzo rye, ibyo bituma ntashobora kumenya ibibera iruhande rwanjye.IZ 32.4

Umubiri wanjye n’intekerezo zanjye byamaze umwanya munini bimeze bityo, kandi ubwo namenyaga ibiri ahanzengurutse, ibintu byose byasaga n’ibyahindutse. Ikintu cyose cyari cyahindutse cyiza bihebuje kandi cyabaye gishya, bimeze nk’ibimwenyura bihimbaza Imana. Noneho numvise nshaka guhamya Yesu ahantu hose.

Nibwiye ko abakunda Yesu bagomba gukunda kugaruka kwe, noneho njya mu materaniro kubabwira ibyo Imana, ndetse no kumva nshitse byari byanteye umunezero kubwo kwizera ko Umwami ari hafi kuza. Umuyobozi w’iryo tsinda yanciye mu ijambo avuga ati: “Binyuze mu myizerere y’Abametodisiti.” Nyamara sinashoboraga guha ikuzo imyemerere ya kimetodisiti igihe Kristo n’ibyiringiro byo kugaruka kwe kwegereje ari byo byari byampaye umudendezo. IZ 33.1

Abantu benshi bo mu muryango wa data bizeraga rwose kugaruka kwa Yesu, kandi kubwo guhamya izo nyigisho zihebuje, barindwi muri twe bahise bacibwa mu itorero ry’Abametodisiti.
