Glorified – 1
The Phaneroo Devotion: Glorified - 1
Apostle Grace Lubega
John 17:22 (KJV); And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
We are one with God and Christ.
As infallible as this truth is, this unity could not have been possible without God elevating us to the same glory that He possesses. This is why, in order to achieve the unity referred to in our theme scripture, Christ gave us the same glory that He was given by God the Father. It cannot be emphasised enough that He did not merely give us glory. In His own words, He says, “the glory which you have given me, I have given them.”
Think about this for a moment and ponder the possibilities that come with such a great privilege. You carry the glory of the Son of God, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. He is, like S.M Lockridge, the Baptist Minister put it, the centrepiece of civilization and the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world.
When He gave you His glory, He did not transfer only a portion of it. The love of God does not avail transformation in half measures; God is extreme when it comes to giving to the sons of men. So, when He gave you glory, He gave you all of it.
Thus, everything Jesus can do, you can do. By this, I do not mean what He could do when He was in the flesh but also what He can do now as the victorious one seated in exceedingly great power at the right hand of the Father, the source of knowledge, the fountain of all wisdom and the wellspring of life!
Such is the glory of the Church, His body!
We must awaken to this consciousness every day and abandon any manner of limitation in how we think. When we shun this consciousness as the musings of fanatics with delusions of grandeur, we in essence scorn the precious gift of glory handed to us.
Don’t cower in false humility at the thought that the same glory that Christ has is the same glory that you have; the same power He can exercise is the same power you can exercise; the same influence He has is the same influence that you have.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 3:18, John 14:20
GOLDEN NUGGET: You carry the glory of the Son of God. When He gave you His glory, He did not transfer only a portion of it. The love of God does not avail transformation in half measures; God is extreme when it comes to giving to the sons of men. So, when He gave you glory, He gave you all of it.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. The Bible says that He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with the Lord. What a glory, to understand that I am one with You. I live in this consciousness every day. It is what stirs in me the most holy emotions and elevates my view of life and of the world. By this wisdom, I live beyond limitation and I do great exploits for Your glory, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Omutume Grace Lubega
Yokaana 17:22 (KJV); Nange ekitiibwa kye wampa nkibawadde; babeerenga bumu, nga ffe bwe tuli obumu:
Tuli bumu ne Katonda era ne Kristo.
Ng’amazima gano bwe gatasobola kukola nsobi, obumu buno tebwandisobose ewatali Katonda kutuyimusa n’atuteeka mu kitiibwa kye kimu naye Ky’alina. Y’ensonga lwaki, okusobola okufuna obumu buno obwogerwako mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, Kristo yatuwa ekitiibwa kye kimu Kyeyaweebwa Katonda Kitaawe. Tekisobola kukkaatirizibwa kimala nti Teyatuwa buwi kitiibwa. Mu bigambo bye byennyini, agamba, “ekitiibwa kye wampa nkibawadde.”
Kirowoozeeko okumala akabanga era olowooze obusobozi obwajja n’omwaganya guno omukulu. Weettisse ekitiibwa ky’omwana wa Katonda, Kabaka wa bakabaka, Mukama wa bakama. Alinga S.M Lockridge, omuweereza ow’enzikiriza ya ba ” Baptist” bwe yakyogera, enkulungo y’enkulakulana era ekyewuunyo ekisinga ekyali kizze kunsi eno.

Awo nno, buli kimu Yesu ky’asobola okukola, osobola okukikola. Mu kino, sitegeeza kye yali asobola okukola bwe yali ng’akyali mu mubiri naye ne ky’asobola okukola ng’oyo omuwanguzi atudde mu maanyi agasukkulumye amakulu ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Kitaawe, ensibuko y’okumanya, ensulo y’amagezi gonna era n’ensibuko ey’obulamu!
Bwekityo ekitiibwa ky’ekkanisa bwekiri, omubiri Gwe.
Tuteekeddwa okuzuukuka eri empulira eno buli lunaku era tusuulewo engeri yonna ey’okukugirwa mu ngeri gye tulowoozamu. Bwe tugaana endowooza eno ne tugitwaala nga endowooza z’abantu abassukkiriza ebintu abeerowoozaako okubeera ab’amaanyi kye batali , olwo tuba tusseketteredde ekirabo kya Katonda eky’ekitiibwa kye yatukwasa.
Totiitiira mu bwetowaze obw’obulimba eri endowooza nti ekitiibwa kye kimu ekya Kristo ky’olina; amaanyi gegamu g’asobola okukozesa g’emaanyi geegamu naawe g’osobola okukozesa; obuyinza bw’alina eri abantu abubaleetera okumugoberera bwe buyinza bwe bumu naawe bw’olina eri abantu.
Alleluya!
YONGERA OSOME: 2Abakolinso 3:18, Yokaana 14:20
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Weettisse ekitiibwa ky’omwana wa Katonda. Bwe Yakuwa ekitiibwa Kye, teyakuwa kitundu ku kitiibwa ekyo. Okwagala kwa Katonda tekuleeta kukyusibwa mu bitundutundu; Katonda asukkuluma bwe kituuka ku kuwa eri abaana ba bantu. Kati, bwe yakuwa ekitiibwa, yakuwa kyonna.
ESSAALA: Kitange Omwagalwa, Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Baibuli egamba nti oyo agattiddwa wamu ne Mukama, Mwoyo omu ne Mukama. Kitiibwa nnabaki, okutegeera nti Ndi naawe.

KUTUKUZWA – 1
Mtume Grace Lubega
Yohana 17:22 (KJV); Nami utukufu ule ulionipa nimewapa wao; ili wawe na umoja kama sisi tulivyo umoja.
Sisi tuna umoja na Mungu na Kristo.
Ingawa kweli hii haikosei, umoja huu haungewezekana bila Mungu kutuinua hadi kwenye utukufu ule ule alio nao. Hii ndiyo sababu, ili kufikia umoja unaorejelewa katika andiko letu la mada, Kristo alitupa utukufu ule ule aliopewa na Mungu Baba. Haiwezi kusisitizwa ya kutosha kwamba hakutupa tu utukufu. Kwa maneno Yake Mwenyewe, Anasema, “Utukufu ule ulionipa nimewapa wao.”
Fikiria hili kwa muda na utafakari uwezekano unaokuja na fursa hiyo kubwa. Unabeba utukufu wa Mwana wa Mungu, Mfalme wa wafalme, na Bwana wa mabwana. Yeye ni, kama S.M Lockridge, mtumishi wa Kibaptisti alivyosema, kiini cha ustaarabu na jambo kuu zaidi ambalo limewahi kuvuka upeo wa ulimwengu huu.
Alipokupa utukufu wake, hakuhamisha sehemu yake tu. Upendo wa Mungu hauleti mabadiliko kinusu nusu; Mungu amekithiri linapokuja suala la kutoa kwa wana wa watu. Kwa hivyo, alipokupa utukufu, alikupa wote.
Hivyo, kila kitu Yesu anaweza kufanya, unaweza kufanya. Kwa hili, simaanishi kile Alichoweza kufanya Alipokuwa katika mwili, lakini pia kile Anachoweza kufanya sasa kama mshindi, aliyeketi katika mkono wa kuume wa Baba, Aliye chanzo cha ujuzi, chemchemi ya hekima yote na chemchemi ya uzima!
Huo ndio utukufu wa Kanisa, mwili wake!
Lazima tuamke kwa ufahamu huu kila siku na kuachana na aina yoyote ya kizuizi katika jinsi tunavyofikiri. Tunapojiepusha na fahamu hii kama misimu ya washupavu walio kwenye madanganyo ya ukuu, kimsingi tunadharau zawadi ya thamani ya utukufu tuliyokabidhiwa.
Usiogope katika unyenyekevu wa uongo kwa kufikiri kwamba utukufu ule ule alio nao Kristo ni utukufu ule ule ulio nao; nguvu zile zile Anazoweza kuzitumia ni nguvu zile zile unazoweza kutumia; ushawishi ule ule Alio nao ni ushawishi ule ule ulio nao.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: 2 Wakorintho 3:18, Yohana 14:20
UJUMBE MKUU: Unabeba utukufu wa Mwana wa Mungu, Mfalme wa wafalme, na Bwana wa mabwana. Yeye ni, kama S.M Lockridge, mtumishi wa Kibaptisti alivyosema, kiini cha ustaarabu na jambo kuu zaidi ambalo limewahi kuvuka upeo wa ulimwengu huu.Alipokupa utukufu wake, hakuhamisha sehemu yake tu. Upendo wa Mungu hauleti mabadiliko kinusu nusu; Mungu amekithiri linapokuja suala la kutoa kwa wana wa watu. Kwa hivyo, alipokupa utukufu, alikupa wote.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Biblia inasema yeye aliyeungwa na Bwana ni roho moja na Bwana. Ni utukufu ulioje, kuelewa kwamba mimi ni mmoja na Wewe. Ninaishi katika ufahamu huu kila siku. Ni kile kinachochochea ndani yangu hisia takatifu zaidi na kuinua mtazamo wangu wa maisha na ulimwengu. Kwa hekima hii, ninaishi kupita mipaka na ninafanya mambo makuu kwa ajili ya utukufu Wako, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

The Hebrew word for delight, used in our theme scripture is, ‘anag.’ This word is translated to mean, to be soft, delicate and pliable.
As new creatures in Christ, the Lord wants us to live on our altars of sacrifice. This is why our theme scripture speaks of us presenting our bodies as living sacrifices.
There are some Christians who believe that the prosperity of a believer is a sign of a corrupt spirit. These quote the Bible in Proverbs 30:9 which says, “Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.”
As Christians, the kind of life we have been called to is one of a perpetual life of faith. Faith must be a lifestyle for the believer and not just a doctrine we refer to in the midst of trials. It is by faith that we please God, meaning that a lifestyle of faith is one that is constantly pleasing to God.
The Word of God is the foundation of the liberties that we have in God. In James 1:25, it is referred to as the perfect law of liberty.
Our theme scripture gives us a glimpse into the life of Anna the Prophetess. The Bible says that she spent her days in the temple and served God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
Greatness is not birthed out of the most obvious places or people.
God cannot expand your territory if you do not have the vision to properly use it. 
God has never created a demand upon your life without an equal measure of potential in you.
As a child of God, you have territory, both physical and spiritual, that God has defined as part of your inheritance.
Potential is a word that is bandied about in success circles.
