Begin With Truth
The Phaneroo Devotion: Begin With Truth
Apostle Grace Lubega
Ephesians 6:13-14 (KJV); Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
In spiritual warfare, the first thing we must connect to is truth.
It is a sad fact that the moment some people hear bad news, they rush into battle mode against the enemy without firstly applying themselves to the truth. The result is that they pray out of desperation and panic and not the revelation of God’s power that is available to save them.
Prudence requires that you ask yourself, ‘what is the truth of God concerning this situation?’
When you know the truth, then you will know how to fight. On the other hand, if you do not know the truth, you will be like those whom the apostle Paul describes as men who “beat the air” (1 Corinthians 9:26).
Prayer that is not steeped in truth is misdirected in its targeting, insincere in its earnestness and ineffectively mild in intensity.
Knowing the truth in prayer is what avails much power, dynamic in its working because one is connected to the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: In spiritual warfare, the first thing we must connect to is truth. Knowing the truth in prayer is what avails much power, dynamic in its working because one is connected to the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth.
PRAYER: My Lord, I thank You for this knowledge. I understand the power of truth and what it can do in my life. I am a lover of Your Word and seek it earnestly in all that I do. It is with the truth that I face the storms of life, to the glory of Your name, Amen.
TANDIKA N’AMAZIMA
Omutume Grace Lubega
Abaefeso 6:13-14 (KJV); Kale mutwalenga ebyokulwanyisa byonna ebya Katonda, musobolenga okuguma ku lunaku olubi, era bwe mulimala okukoIa byonna, musobole okuyimirira. Kale muyimirirenga, nga mwesibye mu kiwato kyammwe amazima, era nga mwambadde obutuukirivu mu kifuba kyamwe.

Obwegendereza mu magezi bwetaagisa weebuuze, ‘mazima ki aga Katonda agakwatagana n’embeera eno?’
Bw’omanya amazima, olwo ojja kumanya engeri y’okulwanamu. Ku ludda olulala, bw’oba tomanyi mazima, ojja kubeera ng’abo omutume Paulo bannyonnyola ng’abasajja “abakuba ebbanga” (1 Abakkolinso 9:26).
Essaala etannyikiddwa mu mazima ekyamizibwa mu bigendererwa byayo, tebeera ya mazima mu bunyiikivu bwayo era ekola kitono mu maanyi gaayo.
Okumanya amazima mu ssaala ky’ekireetawo amaanyi amangi, ag’eyongera mu kukola kwago kubanga omuntu oyo abeera ayungiddwa ku Mwoyo Omutukuvu nga ye Mwoyo ow’amazima.

Okwerinda nikwetagisa ngu oyebuuze, ‘amazima ga Ruhanga omu nshonga egi niki?’
Ku orikumanya amazima, nozakumanya kurwaana. Kandi ku oraabe otarikumanya amazima, nozakuba nkabo abu entumwa Paulo arikushobororaho nka abantu “abarikuteera busha entoomi” (1 Abakorinso 9:26).
Okushaba okutari omu mazima tikuturikireire ahahikire, tikwamazima, kandi tikurikuhikiriza eki kushemeire kuhikiriza.
Okumanya amazima omu kushaba nikwo kurikutaho amaani, ag’emiringo yoona omu nkora ahabw’okuba noba nokoragana n’Omwoyo Orikweera orikweetwa Omwoyo w’amazima.

Okusaba okuta culikirwe omu mazima kuhaba omu kuteeba kwakwo, kutanyina obunanu omukwekamba kwakwo kandi kutanyina kuhikiriza omu kufuba kwakwo.
Okumanya amazima omukusaba nikyo ekiretereza amaani maingi, ag’obusobozi omukukora kwa’go habwokuba omuntu aba asuminkaniziibwe hali Omwoyo Arukwera uwe ali Mwoyo w’Amazima.

OTANDIKE NA MAJIMA
Mukwenda Grace Lubega
Beefeeso 6:13-14 (KJV); Nahabwekiini mube na bya kulwani̱i̱si̱ya byona bya Luhanga, niikuwo bwile bwa Si̱taani̱ kubalu̱mba mbwahi̱ki̱ye mugubhe kumusaagha, niikuwo haakumaliilila kwa byona muukale munagu̱mi̱ye.

Mu bulemo bwa mwoyo, kintu ekyokubanja eki tubhonganuuwe kukwatana nakiyo ni majima.
Ni kintu kyan’naku kyonini nti bantu banji mu kaile obu baghuuye makulu ghabhi, baanguuya kughenda mu ntekeleja ya bulemo hali omunanjighuwa kundi batakake’haayeyo ha majima ghani. Emmalilila eba eti nibuwo basaba nanga kukwobahilila bhaatu kutali kusuukululuwa kwa maani gha Luhanga aghaliyo kubajuna.
Mageji ghakukubaliya kubanja kwebuuliya, “ni majima ki agha Luhanga aghakweto’o mbeela eni”
Niwamanyiye majima, dumbi okumanya kulwana. Ha mukono ghunji, niwabaaye otamaniye majima, okuba nkaaba aba Mukwenda Paulo eetiye bantu “abakuhuulagha mwanya” (1 Bakolinto 9:26)
Nsaala eghi etali mu majima ekughendagha hanji atali yali ebaluuwe kughenda, teeli yamajima namu kusaakala kwayo, kandi teekukolagha namu maani ghayo.
Kumanya majima mu kusaba nikiyo kikuletagha maani ghahingulaane, ghakola nighahindula nanga muntu akwataane na mwoyo ahikiliiye kandi niiye mwoyo ghwa majima.
Alleluya!
OTODHE OSOME: Yokobbo 5:16, Yohaana 8:32-44.
KASUSI KA FEZZA: Mu bulemo bwa mwoyo, kintu ekyokubanja eki tubhonganuuwe kukwatana nakiyo ni majima. Kumanya majima mu kusaba nikiyo kikuletagha maani ghahingulaane, ghakola nighahindula nanga muntu akwataane na mwoyo ahikiliiye kandi niiye mwoyo ghwa majima.

ANZA NA KWELI
Mtume Grace Lubega
Waefeso 6:13-14 (KJV); Kwa sababu hiyo twaeni silaha zote za Mungu, mpate kuweza kushindana siku ya uovu, na mkiisha kuyatimiza yote, kusimama. Basi simameni, hali mmejifunga kweli viunoni, na kuvaa dirii ya haki kifuani,
Katika vita vya kiroho, jambo la kwanza tunalopaswa kuungana nalo ni kweli.
Ni jambo la kusikitisha kuwa watu wengine wanaposikia habari mbaya, hukimbilia vita dhidi ya adui bila kujiimarisha kwanza katika kweli.
Matokeo yake ni kwamba wanaomba kwa kukata tamaa na hofu wala sio kutoka kwa ufunuo wa nguvu za Mungu ambazo zinapatikana ili kuwaokoa.
Busara inakubidi ujiulize, ‘Kweli ya Mungu ni ipi kuhusu hali hii?’
Kama unajua kweli, basi utajua jinsi ya kupigana. Kwa upande mwingine, ikiwa hujui ukweli, utakuwa kama wale ambao mtume Paulo anaelezea kama watu ambao “wapigao hewa” (1 Wakorintho 9:26).
Sala ambayo haijajikita katika ukweli imepotoshwa katika lengo lake, haina ufanisi katika bidii yake na haina makali.
Kujua iliyo kweli katika maombi kunatupa nguvu nyingi, yenye uhai katika kazi yake kwa sababu mtu ameunganishwa na Roho Mtakatifu ambaye ni Roho wa Ukweli.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yakobo 5:16, Yohana 8:32-44
UJUMBE MKUU: Katika vita vya kiroho, jambo la kwanza tunalopaswa kuungana nalo ni kweli. Kujua iliyo kweli katika maombi kunatupa nguvu nyingi, yenye uhai katika kazi yake kwa sababu mtu ameunganishwa na Roho Mtakatifu ambaye ni Roho wa Ukweli.
SALA: Bwana Wangu, Nakushukuru kwa ujuzi huu. Ninaelewa uwezo wa iliyo kweli na kile kinachoweza kufanya katika maisha yangu. Mimi ni mpenzi wa Neno lako na ninalitafuta kwa bidii katika yote ninayofanya. Ni kwa kuzingatia kweli ndivyo ninakabiliana na dhoruba za maisha, kwa utukufu wa jina Lako, Amina.

In the art of spiritual warfare, the greatest weapon in our arsenal is the shield of faith.
It is an error in doctrine to teach that thanksgiving is a type of prayer.
When Paul asks the church at Ephesus to pray for him, his request is not so God can meet his material needs.
There are believers who have spent endless nights binding the powers of darkness and seeking freedom from bondage to no avail. 
When the disciples observed Christ’s life of prayer, there was something about it that was worth learning from. They could not have asked Him to teach them to pray if they had not observed that His life of prayer was one that yielded results.
When the enemy attacks a believer, his attacks are aimed at our knowledge of God. Take a look at the adverse circumstances of your life, you will realise that they are a challenge to what you know about God.
Spiritual warfare has been dramatised as an epic fight between a believer and the forces of evil. What comes to mind is a Christian facing a mean-looking fire-breathing creature with horns and a tail. This mindset has caused some to ignore the simplicity with which the scriptures define spiritual warfare.
What makes the fight of faith a good fight? Is it the absence of struggle? Is it because the presence of faith waters down the intensity of challenging circumstances? No.
When Pilate asked, ‘what is truth?’, he touched one of the fundamental inquiries of ancient and modern philosophy.
In my earlier years of ministry, there were moments when I did not exercise caution in the way I prophesied to people. For example, the Lord would reveal to me that the reason why a particular individual was struggling in a specific area of their life was because they were being bewitched by a certain relative. I would also mention the name of the person doing the bewitching. Sometimes, I said these things to people who were not stable enough to handle the information I had given them and as such, they would return home and fight the people causing them trouble. Sometimes, I would mention sensitive facts publicly.
In the life of Christianity, there is a difference between the supernatural and the spectacular. If you do not understand this difference, you will easily be drawn in by the gimmicks of men who have learnt how to tamper with the metaphysical world: men who can create magic, manipulate vision and force perspectives.
