Apostle Grace Lubega
Acts 8:1 (KJV) And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Sometimes persecution comes into the life of a Christian because they are doing nothing with the impartation they received from the Spirit of God.
In the book of Acts, God instructed the disciples that once the Spirit was come upon them, they were to preach the gospel in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth. When many tarried in Jerusalem, persecution came. This persecution came to scatter them because of the complacency they were yielding to. This complacency undermined divine purpose and the advancement of the gospel.
There are Christians who find circumstances against them because they have refused to move in the manifestation of the things that God has continually taught them, they have refused to exercise themselves in the knowledge they have received.
Hands were laid upon them and graces released into their spirits but they did nothing about these impartations. They did not walk out in faith to do the things spoken over their lives, they did not seek the mind of God pertaining to how they can increase and grow in these kinds of anointing, and they did not own these impartations but instead assumed that things would randomly fall into place.
There are consequences of neglecting the gift in you that you received by prophecy and the laying on of hands by the presbytery.
They may bind all kinds of demons and seek deliverance from all kinds of men of God. But, the sooner they understand the reason for their plight, the quicker they are delivered. These are called the tests of a minister.
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Timothy 4:14, 2 Timothy 1:6
GOLDEN NUGGET:
Sometimes, persecution comes into the life of a Christian because they are doing nothing with the impartation they have received from the Spirit of God. Like the early church, persecution was pertinent to scatter them for the advancement of the gospel.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this knowledge; it stirs up the gift that is in me. I am functioning in what I have received and it is working mightily through me. I can never be complacent in the things of the Spirit because when I received of the Word, it became as a fire in my bones. It has consumed every faculty of my reasoning, my emotions, my sentiments, my aspirations and my desires. It causes me to spend and be spent for the sake of the gospel. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

IGERAGEZWA RY’UMUKOZI W’IMANA
Uhereye uwo munsi haduka akarengane gakomeye mu Itorero ry’i Yerusalemu, bose batatanira mu bihugu by’i Yudaya n’i Samariya, keretse intumwa.
Ibihe bimwe kugambanirwa biza mu buzima bw’aba Kristo kuko nacyo bakora ku byo bagaburiwe n’umwuka wera.
Mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe n’intumwa, Imana yaburiye abigishwa ngo umwuka nabamanukira, bari kubwiriza ubutumwa bwiza I yerusalemu, yudeya, samaria no ku mpera z’isi yose. Benshi bagumye I yerusalemu, kugambanirwa kuraza. Uku kugambanirwa kwaje ku batatanya kubera ko bari banyuzwe. Uku kunyurwa kwakandamije intego y’ubu Mana no kugeza agakiza kuri benshi.
Hari aba Kristo babona ibihe bitari mu ruhande rwabo kuko banze kugendera mu kugaragaza ibintu Imana yabigishije, banze gukoresha ubumenyi bahawe.
Barambitsweho ibiganza n’ubuntu mu mwuka wabo ariko nacyo bakoresheje ibyo bakiriye. Nago bagendeye mu kwizera ngo bakore ibyavuzwe ku buzima bwabo, ntibashatse ibitekerezo by’Imana ku byerekeranye n’uburyo bakwaguka nuko bakura muri aya mavuta, kandi ibi bahawe ntibyari ibyabo ahubwo bibwiye ko ibintu bizikora.
Hari ingaruka zo kwirengangiza impano iri muri wowe wakiriye mu buhanuzi no kurambikwaho ibiganza by’abakuru.
Bishobora guhambira ubwoko bwose bw’abadayimoni ndetse bagashaka kubohoka ku bakozi b’Imana bose. Ariko uko, uko bamenya impamvu yo kubaho kwabo, niko babohoka vuba. Ibi byitwa kugeragezwa kw’abakozi b’Imana.
IBINDI BYANDITSWE: 1 Timotewo 4:14, 2 Timotewo 1:6
ICYO WAKURAMO: Ibihe bimwe kugambanirwa biza mu buzima bw’umu Kristo kuko nacyo bakora n’icyo bakiriye ku mwuka wera. Mu itorero rya mbere, kugambanirwa byari bigambiriye kubatatanya kugirango batabwiriza ubutumwa bwiza.
ISENGESHO: Data, ngushimiye ubu bwenge; bwuburura impano iri muri njye. Ndakorera mu byo nakiriye kandi birakora bikomeye muri njye. Sinshobora gutuza mu by’umwuka kuko nakira ijambo, ryabaye nk’umuriro mu magupfa yanjye. Ryakongeje buri gice cy’ibitekerezo byanjye, amarangamutima, ibyiyumviro n’ibyo nifuza. Bituma nitanga ndetse nkaniyegurira agakiza. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen

Ebyakozirwe Entumwa 8:1 Kandi Saulo akasiima okwitwa kwe. Aha izooba eryo baatandika kuhiiga munonga ekanisa y’omuri Yerusaalemu; boona baataataanira omu byanga bya Buyudaaya na Samaria, okwihaho entumwa zonka.
Obumwe okuhiigwa nikwija omu magara g’omukristayo ahabw’okuba tibarikukoresa eki bahairwe Omwoyo wa Ruhanga.

Baingi kubatsigaire Yerusaalemu, bahikwaho okuhiigwa. Okuhiigwa oku kukaija kubataanisa ahabw’okuba bakaba baatandika kumanyiira. Okumanyiira kukakwata kubi ekigyendererwa kya Ruhanga n’okukura kw’engiri.
Hariho abakristayo abarikushanga ebintu bibagyendeire kubi ahabw’okuba bangire kugyendera omu kworekwa kw’ebintu ebi Ruhanga abegyeise, bangire kukoresa okumanya kubahairwe.
Bakabataho emikono baheebwa n’embabazi omu myoyo yabo kwonka tihaine kibabikozeise. Tibararugireyo omu kwikiriza kukora ebintu ebyagambirwe aha magara gaabo, tibarasherirwe enteekateeka ya Ruhanga kuboreka okubarakure n’omu majuta ago, kandi tibarakwatsize ebintu ebi kureka bateekateeka ngu ebintu nibyija kwekora.
Ebi nibyo birikuruga omu kutakoresa ekiconco ekiri omuriiwe eki waahairwe ahabw’ebi waagambirweho baanabi, obu abakuru bakutaho engaro.
Nibabaasa kubinga za daimoni zona basherure n’okutambirwa abashaija ba Mukama boona. Kwonka, kuri nibetegyereza ekirikuretera baba batyo, kuribatambiirwe. Ebi nibyo birikweetwa okubuzibwa kw’omuheereza.

Tindikubaasa kumanyiira ebintu by’Omwoyo ahabw’okuba kunahairwe ekigambo, kikaba nk’omuriro omu magufa gangye. Kijwiire buri kicweka ky’enteekateeka yangye n’ebyeteengo byangye. Nikindetera kuhayo burikimwe kandi n’okwehayo ahabw’engiri. Omwiziina rya Yesu. Amiina.

Apôtre Grace Lubega
LES EXAMENS D’UN MINISTRE
Actes 8:1 (KJV) Saul, pour sa part, était bien d’accord pour qu’on le fasse mourir. C’est alors le début d’une grande persécution contre l’Eglise à Jérusalem, et tous sauf les apôtres se dispersent dans les districts de Judée et de Samarie.
Parfois la persécution entre dans la vie d’un chrétien parce qu’ils ne font rien avec l’entrainement qu’ils ont reçu de l’Esprit de Dieu.
Dans le livre des Actes, Dieu a demandé aux disciples qu’une fois que l’Esprit venait sur eux, ils devaient prêcher l’évangile à Jérusalem, en Judée, en Samarie et dans les parties extrêmes de la terre. Quand beaucoup sont restés à Jérusalem, la persécution est tombée. Cette persécution est venue les disperser à cause de la complaisance qu’ils ont cédée. Cette complaisance a miné le but divin et l’avancement de l’évangile.
Il y a des Chrétiens qui trouvent des circonstances contre eux parce qu’ils ont refusé de manifester les choses que Dieu leur a continuellement enseignées, ils ont refusé de s’exercer dans la connaissance qu’ils ont reçue.
Les mains ont été déposées sur eux et les grâces ont été libérées dans leurs esprits mais ils n’ont rien fait à propos de ces images. Ils ne se sont pas éloignés de la foi pour faire les choses parlées au cours de leur vie, ils n’ont pas cherché l’esprit de Dieu sur la façon dont ils peuvent augmenter et croître dans cette sorte d’onction, et ils ne possédaient pas ces images mais ont supposé que les choses allaient s’arranger.
Il y a des conséquences de négliger le don en vous que vous avez reçu par la prophétie et la prise de mains par le presbytère.
Ils peuvent lier toutes sortes de démons et chercher la délivrance de toutes sortes d’hommes de Dieu. Mais, plus tôt ils comprennent la raison de leur sort, plus vite ils sont délivrés. Ce sont les examens d’un ministre.
ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : 1 Timothée 4:14, 2 Timothée 1:6
PEPITE D’OR : Parfois la persécution entre dans la vie d’un chrétien parce qu’ils ne font rien avec l’entrainement qu’ils ont reçu de l’Esprit de Dieu. Comme l’église primitive, la persécution était pertinente pour les disperser pour l’avancement de l’évangile.
PRIERE : Père, je te remercie de cette connaissance ; cela soulève le cadeau qui est en moi. Je suis en train de fonctionner dans ce que j’ai reçu et ça fonctionne très bien à travers moi. Je ne peux jamais être complaisant dans les choses de l’Esprit parce que lorsque j’ai reçu de la Parole, il est devenu un feu dans mes os. Il a consommé toutes les facultés de mon raisonnement, mes émotions, mes sentiments, mes aspirations et mes désirs. Cela me fait dépenser et être dépensé pour l’évangile. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

The total sum of your christian life ought to be experiences in God. However, even in those experiences, you have to pick out what is revelation.
A man or woman of God is one who is possessed by God. It is not a title to make one feel more anointed. No. It is a state of distinctive ownership by God; not in the general sense of how we all belong to God but by His own personal and intimate convictions, they are His own.
The inherent ability of the grace to transform our lives lies in the fact that it labours in us; it labours!
Then a man is learned in the things of God, God instructs him on how to speak, how to minister, how to demonstrate the Spirit, how to heal, how to do business etc. Learned men deal with the ‘hows’ and not just the whats.
As a child of God, you are a pattern to those of this world by virtue of your dwelling place in God. Ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel (Hebrews 12:22-24).
The renewal of your mind has the power to cause you to change form. The Greek word used for transformed in our theme scripture is metamorphoo which is translated to mean transfigure or to change form.
Ni iki cyerekana ubumenyi bw’Imana muri wowe, si igiteranyo cy’ibyo wize byose. Icyanditswe twifashishije cyerekana ko, nta herezo ryo gusoma; ntibishoboka ko usoma ibitabo byose byo mu isi.
