To Provoke Divinity
The Phaneroo Devotion: To Provoke Divinity
Apostle Grace Lubega
Mark 11: 12-14(KJV); And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
When Christ stood before the fig tree demanding that it yield its fruit to Him because He was hungry, its failure to do so was a direct challenge to His divine authority because the tree saw Him as a mere man.
This was creation failing to recognise the creator; the servant failing to bow to the master.
Christ’s response was to curse it because nothing provokes divinity like questioning the reality of God in a human form.
In 1 Timothy 3:16, the Bible says, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
When God walked the surface of the earth in flesh, there are those who, like this tree dared to question His divinity. The scriptures reveal that He was justified and vindicated in the Spirit. It was proven to the world that He was God.
This same God lives in You. When people doubt you and question His power through You, that is the perfect opportunity for Him to prove Himself.
Never mind the naysayers and those who ridicule you for the things you believe. Take courage remembering that it is a provocation of God to prove Himself and He will do so in no uncertain terms. When your faith is criticized and you’re mocked for your beliefs, take heart for God is more than ready to show Himself strong on your behalf.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Nothing provokes divinity like questioning the reality of God in a human form. Never mind the naysayers and those who ridicule you for the things you believe remembering that it is a provocation for God to prove Himself and He will do so in no uncertain terms.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. You are in me and I am in You and we are one. I live my life in the confidence of one who carries the image of Christ. Everything in my life is a testimony of Your work through me, to the glory of Your name, Amen.
OKUKYOKOOZA OBWAKATONDA

Makko 11:12-14 (KJV); Awo bwe bwakya enkya, bwe baali bavudde mu Bessaniya n’alumwa enjala. Awo bwe yalengera omutiini oguliko amalagala n’agutuukako, era mpozzi alabeko ekintu: awo bwe yagutuukako, n’atalabako kintu wabula amalagala kubanga si bye byali ebiro by’ettiini. N’addamu n’agugamba nti Okusooka leero okutuusa emirembe n’emirembe omuntu talyanga ku bibala byo. Abayigirizwa be ne bawulira.
Kristo bwe yayimirira mu maaso g’omutiini ng’agubanja okumuwa ekibala kyagwo kubanga yali muyala, okulemererwa kwagwo okukola bwegutyo kwali kusoomooza okugenderere eri obuyinza bwe obw’obwakatonda kubanga omuti gwamulaba ng’omuntu wa bulijjo.
Kino kyali kitonde kulemererwa kutegeera mutonzi; omuweereza okulemererwa okuvunnamira Mukama we.
Okwanukula kwa Kristo kwali kugukolimira kubanga tewali kikyokooza kweyolesa okw’obwakatonda ng’okubuusabuusa obwannamaddala bwa Katonda mu kikula ky’omuntu.
Mu 1 Timoseewo 3:16 Baibuli egamba, “Era awatali kubuusabuusa ekyama eky’okutya Katonda kye kikulu; oyo eyalabisibwa mu mubiri, n’aweebwa obutuukirivu mu mwoyo, n’alabibwa bamalayika, n’abuulirwa mu mawanga, n’akkirizibwa mu nsi, n’atwalibwa mu kitiibwa.”
Katonda bwe yatambula ku nsi mu mubiri, waliwo abo, ng’omuti guno abaagezaako okubuusabuusa obwakatonda bwe. Ebyawandiikibwa bibikkula nti yatuukirizibwa era n’akkirizibwa mu mwoyo. Ekyo kyakakasibwa eri ensi nti yali Katonda.
Ono Katonda y’omu abeera mu ggwe. Abantu bwe bakubuusabuusa era ne bawakanya amaanyi Ge okuyita mu ggwe, ogwo gwe mukisa ogutuukiridde gy’ali okweraga ng’owa ddala.
Tofaayo eri abo aboogera obubi n’abo abakuseketterera ku lw’ebyo by’okkiriza. Beera n’obuvumu ng’ojjukira nti okwo kuba kukyokooza Katonda alyoke yeerage nga ow’amaanyi era ajja kukolera ddala bw’atyo awatali kubuusabuusa. Okukkiriza kwo bwe kuba nga kuwakanyizibwa ng’onyoomebwa ku lw’ebyo by’okkiririzaamu, guma mu mutima gwo kubanga Katonda mweteefuteefu n’okukirawo okweraga nga ow’amaanyi ku ludda lwo.
Alleluya!

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Tewali kikyokooza kweyolesa okw’obwakatonda ng’okubuusabuusa obwannamaddala bwa Katonda mu kikula ky’omuntu. Tofaayo eri abo aboogera obubi n’abo abakuseketterera ku lw’ebyo by’okkiriza. Beera n’obuvumu ng’ojjukira nti okwo kuba kukyokooza Katonda alyoke yeerage nga ow’amaanyi era ajja kukolera ddala bw’atyo awatali kubuusabuusa.
ESSAALA: Kitange, nkwebaza ku lw’Ekigambo kino. Oli mu nze nange ndi mu Ggwe era tuli omu. Mbeera mu bulamu bwange nga ndi mu buvumu bw’oyo alina ekifaananyi kya Kristo. Buli kimu mu bulamu bwange bujulizi bwa mulimu gwo okuyita mu nze ku lw’Ekitiibwa ky’Erinnya lyo. Amiina.
OKUKYEMA OBWA RUHANGA
Entumwa Grace Lubega
Mako 11:12-14: Omu kasheeshe, ku baabaire baahika omu muhanda nibaruga Besania, yaagira enjara. Ku yaareebire hangahari omutiini oguriho amababi, yaagyenda yaaguhikaho, ngu akaagira eki yaagushangaho. Kwonka ku yaaguhikireho, tiyaashangaho kantu kureka omubengyeyo gw’amababi, ahabw’okuba bukaba butari bunaku bw’okwana. Yaagugira ati: Okuruga hati okuhitsya ebiro byona hatarigira omuntu owaarya aha byana byawe. N’abeegi be baakihurira.
Kristo kuyayemereire omu maisho g’omuti ngu akaagira eki yagushangaho ahabw’okuba akaba aine enjara, omuti kubura kukora ekyo kikagaya obushoborozi bwe bw’obwa Ruhanga ahabw’okuba omuti gukamureeba nk’omuntu waburiijo.
Obu bukaba buri obuhangwa bwangire kumanya omuhangi; omuhuuku ayangire kwinamira mukama we.
Okugugarukamu kwa Kristo kukaba kuri okugukyeena ahabw’okuba tiheine kirikukyema obwa Ruhanga nk’okuhakanisa amazima ga Ruhanga omu mubiri.
Omu 1 Timoseo 3:16, Baiburi negira eti, “Kandi tihariho kubanganisa, enaama y’ediini yaitu ku eri nkuru buzima, erikugira eti: Akoorekwa aine omubiri, yaahamibwa Omwoyo, yaareebwa baamaraika,
yaabuurirwa omu mahanga, yaikirizibwa ab’omu nsi, yaatwarwa omu iguru kutaaha omu kitiinisa.”
Ruhanga kuyabaire ari omunsi omu mubiri, hariho abantu, nk’omuti ogu abagyerizeho kuhakanisa obwa Ruhanga bwe. Ebyahandiikirwe nibishoborora ngu akahamibwa Omwoyo. Kikorekwa ensi ngu akaba ari Ruhanga.
Ogu Ruhanga niwe omwe orikutuura omuriiwe. Abantu kubarikubanganisa bakahakanisa amaani gye omuriiwe, ogwo n’omugisha murungi gwe okweyoreka.
Otarifa ahari abo abarikubanganisa hamwe nabo abarikukuhakanisa ahabw’ebintu ebi orikwikiriza. Gira obumanzi orikwijuka ngu n’okukyema Ruhanga okurikumuretera kweyoreka kandi naija kukikora hataine omugyemire. Okwikiriza kwaawe kukurikuhakanisibwa okagayibwa ahabw’ebi orikwikiriza, gira obusingye ahabw’okuba Ruhanga ayeheireyo kworeka amaani gye ahabwaawe.
Hallelujah!

OKUSHABA: Taata, ninkusiima ahabw’ekigambo eki. Ori omuriinye nanye ndi omuriiwe kandi turi omuntu omwe. Nyine obumanzi nk’obw’ogwo oine ekishani kya Kristo. Buri kimwe omu magara gangye n’obujurizi bw’ebi orikukora omuriinye, ahabwekitiinisa kyeiziina ryaawe, Amiina.

Success in life should never breed indifference to the presence of God. Unfortunately, this is the reality in the lives of some believers. When success, influence and wealth came their way, they distanced themselves from God.
The seed of greatness seeks to serve many. The reason why some are not elevated in influence and wealth is because the vision of their lives is limited to themselves and their immediate family. They do not dream for their communities, nation or the world.
It is a puzzling reality for a man to sow much and bring in little and yet the Bible reveals that it is possible for one to give their tithes, offerings and seed and not walk in the abundance of blessings because of that person’s ways.
In this Christian walk, I have seen people bend under the pressure of ministry that has caused them to give up and abandon the cause of the gospel, feeling betrayed by the things they once gave their hearts to.
When the Bible speaks of raising the poor out of the dust, some believers immediately assume they are the poor ones that God will raise to sit among princes.
Diligence is a law of attraction.
Money answers a believer. It does not command or have the authority to question you.
Salvation is not a journey, it is an end.
Faith is a creator of time. Time does not create faith.
