Of Prayer Times
The Phaneroo Devotion: Of Prayer Times
Apostle Grace Lubega
Luke 18:1 (KJV); And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
One of the traditions of prayer that has been taught in the body of Christ today is that prayer is more effective at particular times of the day.
As such, there are doctrines about praying at the midnight hour or the 3am hour. I have heard some teach that the powers of darkness are most powerful and active during these times, so the Christian must be alert and awake at these times of the night.
Firstly, this teaching gives power to the enemy yet the scripture is clear that all power was given to Christ and He handed that power to us (Matthew 28:18-19).
Secondly, what you must understand is that this doctrine is based on earthly time and not spiritual time. Midnight in Malaysia is not midnight in Kenya. 3am in Nigeria is not 3am in the United Kingdom.
Do we then assume that God can only work at 3am in Nigeria and not work in the United Kingdom simply because it is not 3am in that nation?
In our theme scripture, the Lord says, men ought to always pray and not faint. He did not tag the requirement of prayer to any specific hour of the day.
As children of God, the clock of the spirit is aligned for each of us; spiritual time favours us as long as we know how to tap into it. It is more important to connect to spiritual time in prayer than basing answered prayer on earthly time.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: As children of God, the clock of the spirit is aligned for each of us; spiritual time favours us as long as we know how to tap into it. It is more important to connect to spiritual time in prayer than basing answered prayer on earthly time.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I walk in the wisdom of an effective prayer life. My spirit is aligned to spiritual time. I know how to seize the ‘kairos’ moments in prayer. My life of prayer is a success and full of fruit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
EBY’ESSAAWA EZ’OKUSABA
Omutume Grace Lubega
Lukka 18:1 (KJV); N’abagerera olugero bwe kibagwanira okusabanga bulijjo, obutakoowanga;
Akamu ku bulombolombo bw’okusaba akasomeseddwa mu mubiri gwa Kristo kali nti essaala ekola nnyo mu ssaawa ezimu mu lunaku.
N’olwekyo, waliwo enjigiriza ku kusaba ku ssaawa mukaaga ez’ekiro oba ku ssaawa mwenda ez’omuttumbi. Mpulidde abamu nga basomesa nti amaanyi g’ekizikiza gakola nnyo mu ssaawa zino, nti omukristaayo alina okubeera ng’alaba era ng’atunula ku ssaawa zino ez’ekiro.
Ekisooka, ensomesa eno ewa omulabe amaanyi kyokka ebyawandiikibwa birambulukufu nti amaanyi gonna gaweebwa Kristo era n’atukwasa amaanyi ago (Matayo 28:18-19).
Eky’okubiri, ky’olina okutegeera kiri nti ensomesa eno esimbiddwa ku ssaawa z’ensi era ssi ez’omwoyo. Essaawa mukaaga ez’ekiro mu Malaysia ssi z’essaawa mukaaga ez’ekiro mu Kenya. Essaawa mwenda ez’omuttumbi mu Nigeria ssi z’essaawa mwenda ez’omuttumbi mu Bungereza.
Tukitwale nti Katonda akola ssaawa mwenda ez’omuttumbi mu Nigeria era n’atakola mu Bungereza kubanga ssi ssaawa za mwenda ez’omuttumbi mu nsi eyo?
Mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, Mukama agamba, abantu kibagwanira okusabanga bulijjo era n’obutakoowanga. Teyateekawo bwetaavu bwa kusaba ku ssaawa yonna ey’olunaku.
Ng’abaana ba Katonda, essaawa ey’Omwoyo yaweebwa eri buli sekinnoomu mu ffe; essaawa ey’Omwoyo etukolera singa tuba tumanyi okugifunza. Kya mugaso nnyo okwekwata ku ssaawa ey’Omwoyo mu kusaba okusinga okutwala essaala eddibwamu okuba nga esinziira ku ssaawa ez’ensi.
Alleluya!

EBY’OBUSUMI OBW’OKUSABA
Omukwenda Grace Lubega
Luka 18:1 (KJV); KANDI akabacwera orufumo okukibahikirire okusaba obutosa okutajwaha;
Ogumu hamirwa y’okusaba eyesomesiibwe omu mubiri gwa Kristo biro binu nugwo ngu haroho obwire obutusemeriire kusabiramu nukwo esaara zaitu zikole.

WAKATI WA MAOMBI
Mtume Grace Lubega
Luka 18:1 (KJV); Akawaambia mfano, ya kwamba imewapasa kumwomba Mungu sikuzote, wala wasikate tamaa.
Mojawapo ya mapokeo ya maombi ambayo yamefundishwa katika mwili wa Kristo leo ni kwamba maombi yanafaa zaidi nyakati fulani za siku.
Kwa hivyo, kuna mafundisho juu ya kuomba saa sita usiku au saa tisa asubuhi. Nimesikia baadhi ya watu wakifundisha kwamba nguvu za giza zina nguvu zaidi na zinafanya kazi nyakati hizi, kwa hiyo Mkristo lazima awe macho nyakati hizi za usiku.
Kwanza, mafundisho haya yanampa adui nguvu, lakini andiko liko wazi kwamba mamlaka yote yalitolewa kwa Kristo na alitukabidhi sisi uwezo huo (Mathayo 28:18-19).
Pili, unachopaswa kuelewa ni kwamba fundisho hili linatokana na wakati wa dunia na sio wakati wa kiroho. Usiku wa manane nchini Malaysia si usiku wa manane nchini Kenya. Saa tisa asubuhi nchini Nigeria si saa tisa asubuhi nchini Uingereza.
Je, basi tunachukulia kwamba Mungu anaweza tu kufanya kazi saa tisa asubuhi nchini Nigeria na asifanye kazi nchini Uingereza kwa sababu tu si saa tisa asubuhi katika taifa hilo?
Katika andiko letu la mada, Bwana anasema, wanadamu wanapaswa kuomba kila wakati na sio kukata tamaa. Hakuweka takwa la sala kwa saa yoyote hususa ya siku.
Kama wana wa Mungu, saa ya roho imepangwa kwa kila mmoja wetu; wakati wa kiroho hutufadhili mradi tu tunajua jinsi ya kuingia ndani yake. Ni muhimu zaidi kuunganishwa na wakati wa kiroho katika maombi kuliko kuamini kuwa maombi hujibiwa kulingana na wakati wa kidunia ambamo yaliombwa.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: 1 Wathesalonike 5:17, Warumi 12:12
UJUMBE MKUU: Kama wana wa Mungu, saa ya roho imepangwa kwa kila mmoja wetu; wakati wa kiroho hutufadhili mradi tu tunajua jinsi ya kuingia ndani yake. Ni muhimu zaidi kuunganishwa na wakati wa kiroho katika maombi kuliko kuamini kuwa maombi hujibiwa kulingana na wakati wa kidunia ambamo yaliombwa.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Ninatembea katika hekima ya maisha ya maombi yenye ufanisi. Roho yangu inaendana na wakati wa kiroho. Ninajua jinsi ya kukamata nyakati za ‘kairos’ katika maombi. Maisha yangu ya maombi ni yenye mafanikio na yenye kujaa matunda. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

A successful life of salvation is dependent on a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Effective prayer requires fervency.
Effective prayer is grounded in faith. 
Lust frustrates prayer and any answers we seek from God. Any prayer grounded in lust goes unanswered. Like our theme scripture says, you lust and you have not. Every time you lust, you separate yourself from your answer to prayer. 
In prayer, God responds to His Word. 
If you want to pray effectively, learn to pray the scriptures because, in prayer, God is moved by His Word.
An effective prayer life is also a life of deliberate and consistent meditation.
In prayer, we have to ensure that we are listening to God and not merely talking to Him.
When you pray, it is important to hear God. Prayer is not about merely speaking to Him, it is mostly about LISTENING to Him.
If you study the context of our theme scripture, you will realise that Peter was making reference to the teachings of Paul and his message of the grace of God. He makes it clear that some of these teachings were hard to understand and as such, unlearned and unstable men applied them to their own destruction.
The realm of the Spirit of God responds to principle and not to method.
