Of Predestination
The Phaneroo Devotion: Of Predestination
Apostle Grace Lubega
Romans 8:29-30 (KJV); For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
The beginning of finding yourself is in understanding predestination. It is predestination that gives clarity to the call of God upon your life and the call gives the grace of justification and glorification.
Many people often ask the question, “what has God called me to do?”
But that is the second question. It is a misunderstanding of the order of the Spirit. As revealed in our theme scripture, the order is: predestination, calling, justification, and glorification.
In Jeremiah 1:5, the Bible says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
Part of understanding predestination is beholding your identity before you were formed in your mother’s womb. Who were you in eternity? In Jeremiah’s case, God first lays down the fact that Jeremiah had a spiritual identity before he was formed in his mother’s womb and this identity preceded his call and ordination as a prophet to the nations.
Many are called, child of God, but few are chosen (Matthew 22:14). Those that are called but not chosen seek to understand their identity from the place of the calling. The chosen trace themselves further back in time to the place of predestination.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 1:5, Jeremiah 1:5
GOLDEN NUGGET: The beginning of finding yourself is in understanding predestination. It is predestination that gives clarity to the call of God upon your life and the call gives the grace of justification and glorification.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this Word. Thank You because You knew me and had a plan for me even before I was formed in my mother’s womb. I behold that plan and vision for my life in all that I do because I know that it defines my call, the honour that I receive, and the glory by which I live, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
KU BY’OKUSALAWO ENTUUKO NG’ENTANDIKWA TENABAAWO
Omutume Grace Lubega
Abaruumi 8:29-30 (KJV); Kubanga be yamanya edda, era yabaawula dda (yasalawo etuuko yabwe ng’entadikwa tenabaawo) okufaananyizibwa n’engeri y’Omwana we, abeerenga omubereberye mu b’oluganda abangi. Era be yayawula edda, abo era yabayita: era be yayita, yabawa abo era obutuukirivu: era be yawa obutuukirivu, yabawa abo era ekitiibwa.
(Weetegereze; ebiri mu bukomera mu kyawandiikibwa ekigguddewo bigattiddwamu muwandiisi)
Entandikwa y’okwezuula eri mu kutegeera ntuuko yo eyasalibwawo nga tewanabaawo ntandikwa. Entuuko eyasalibwawo ng’entadikwa tenabaawo y’ekuwa obulambulukufu ku kuyitibwa kwa Katonda ku bulamu bwo era okuyitibwa kukuwa ekisa ky’okutuukirizibwa n’okuweebwa ekitiibwa.
Abantu bangi batera okubuuza ekibuuzo, “Katonda ampise kukola ki?”
Naye ekyo kibuuzo kya kubiri. Buba butategeera nsengeka ya bintu eby’Omwoyo. Nga bwe kibikkuddwa mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, ensengeka eri: okusalawo entuuko ng’entandikwa tenabaawo, okuyitibwa, okutuukirizibwa, n’okuweebwa ekitiibwa.
Mu Yeremiya 1:5, Baibuli egamba,
“Bwe nnali nga sinnakubumba mu lubuto nakumanya, era nga tonnava mu lubuto nakutukuza; nkutaddewo okuba nnabbi eri amawanga.”
Ekitundutundu ku kutegeera entuuko yo eyasalibwawo nga entandikwa tenabaawo kwe kulaba kye wali nga tonabumbibwa mu lubuto lwa maama wo. Wali ani mu nsi ey’olubeerera? Mu nsonga ya Yeremiya, Katonda asooka okwanjala amazima nti Yeremiya yalina ekikula eky’omumwoyo nga tanabumbibwa mu lubuto lwa maama we era ekikula kino kyagobererwa okuyitibwa kwe n’okuteekebwawo kwe nga nnabbi eri amawanga.
Abayite bangi, mwana wa Katonda, naye abalondemu batono (Matayo 22:14). Abo abayite nga ssi balonde banoonya okutegeera kye bali mu bifo eby’okuyitibwa. Abalondemu bagoberera omukululo gwabwe okuva emabega mu biseera entuuko yabwe lweyasalibwaawo ng’entandikwa tenabaawo.
Allelluyah!

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Entandikwa y’okwezuula eri mu kutegeera ntuuko yo eyasalibwawo nga tewanabawo ntandikwa. Entuuko eyasalibwawo ng’entandikwa tenabaawo y’ekuwa obulambulukufu ku kuyitibwa kwa Katonda ku bulamu bwo era okuyitibwa kukuwa ekisa ky’okutuukirizibwa n’okuweebwa ekitiibwa.

Abu yaashoroire batakabaireho, nibo yaayetsire; n’abu yaayetsire, nibo yaihireho orubanja; kandi n’abu yaihireho orubanja, nibo yaahaire ekitiinisa.

Omu kitabo kya Yeremia 1:5, Baiburi negira eti, “Ku naabaire ntakakuhangire omunda ya nyoko, nkakumanya; Naakweza otakazairwe, Naakutaho kuba nabi w’amahanga.”
Kimwe aha nyetegyereza y’okushoroora abatakabaireho n’okureeba eki wabaire ori otakahangirwe omunda ya nyoko. Okaba oriki omunsi etarikuhwaho? Ahabwa Yeremia, Ruhanga akabanza yashoborora ngu Yeremia akaba aine enshusha y’omwoyo atakahangirwe omunda ya nyina kandi enshusha egi nebanza okweetwa kwe n’okuteebwaho nka nabi w’amahanga.
Abeetwa nibaingi, mwaana wa Ruhanga, kwonka abatooranwa ni bakye. (Matayo 22:14). Abo abeetsirwe kwonka batatorainwe nibasherura kwetegyereza eki bari kuruga omu mwanya gw’okweetwa. Abatorainwe niberondera omu bwiire bw’enyima omu kushoroorwa batakabaireho.

KUHUSU UCHAGUZI WA TANGU ASILI
Mtume Grace Lubega
Warumi 8:29-30 (KJV); Maana wale aliowajua tangu asili, aliwachagua tangu asili wafananishwe na mfano wa Mwana wake, ili yeye awe mzaliwa wa kwanza miongoni mwa ndugu wengi. Na wale aliowachagua tangu asili, hao akawaita; na wale aliowaita, hao akawahesabia haki; na wale aliowahesabia haki, hao akawatukuza.
Mwanzo wa kujitambua ni katika kuelewa uchaguzi wa tangu asili. Ni uchaguzi huo wa tangu asili ambao unafanua wito wa Mungu juu ya maisha yako na wito hutoa neema ya kuhesabiwa haki na utukufu.
Watu wengi mara nyingi huuliza swali, “Mungu ameniita kufanya nini?”
Lakini hili ni swali la pili. Ni kutoelewa kwa utaratibu wa Roho. Kama ilivyofunuliwa katika andiko letu kuu, utaratibu ni: uchaguzi wa tangu asili, wito, kuhesabiwa haki na utukufu.
Katika Yeremia 1:5, Biblia inasema, “Kabla sijakuumba katika tumbo nalikujua, na kabla hujatoka tumboni, nalikutakasa; nimekuweka kuwa nabii wa mataifa.”
Mojawapo ya vipengele katika kuelewa uchaguzi wa tangu asili ni kuona utambulisho wako kabla ya kuumbwa katika tumbo la mama yako. Wewe ulikuwa nani tangu asili? Katika mfano ya Yeremia, Mungu kwanza anatufanya kuelewa ukweli kwamba Yeremia alikuwa na utambulisho wa kiroho kabla ya kuumbwa katika tumbo la mama yake na utambulisho huu ulitangulia wito wake na kutawazwa kama nabii kwa mataifa.
Mwana wa Mungu , wengi wameitwa, lakini wachache wameteuliwa (Mathayo 22:14). Wale ambao wameitwa lakini hawajateuliwa wanatafuta kuelewa utambulisho wao kutoka mahali pa wito. Wateule wanafuatilia wakati nyuma zaidi hadi mahali pa uchaguzi wa tangu asili.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waefeso 1:5, Yeremia 1:5
UJUMBE MKUU: Mwanzo wa kujitambua ni katika kuelewa uchaguzi wa tangu asili. Ni uchaguzi huo wa tangu asili ambao unatoa ufafanuzi kwa wito wa Mungu juu ya maisha yako na wito hutoa neema ya kuhesabiwa haki na utukufu.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa neno hili. Asante kwa sababu ulinijua na ulikuwa na mpango kwangu hata kabla niumbwe katika tumbo la mama yangu. Ninatazama mpango huo na maono ya maisha yangu katika yote ninayofanya kwa sababu najua kwamba inafafanua wito wangu, heshima ambayo ninapokea na utukufu ambao ninaishia, kwa jina la Yesu, Amina.

Our theme scripture speaks of a tabernacle that is pitched by God and not by man. It presupposes that there are things in this life which have been built by men yet God has a definite plan of how they should have been built.
The Word of God by its nature has placed a fire in our bones. It has not been designed to leave us passive and indifferent to the demands of heaven.
The knowledge that we receive from God comes with a corresponding demand on our spirits.
When Christ approached the fig tree in our theme scripture, its response was contrary to His desire (Mark 11:12-15). He cursed it and it dried up.
When the children of Israel entered the promised land, manna ceased to fall.
There are many people in this world who have been praying in the same manner for years and have never seen fruit or results in their lives but they persist anyway in the mistaken belief that things will change.
God answers prayer. Every time a man’s prayer is not answered, the issue is never with the God to whom he prays but with how that man prayed or the revelation he has about prayer.
In the Old Testament dispensation, sin was the major concern in the relationship between man and God.
The Word of God is the ultimate answer to any circumstance that a man may face.
