The Legalism Of The Leper

Apostle Grace Lubega

Numbers 12:6-8 (KJV); And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”

The first person to suffer leprosy as listed in the scriptures is Moses’ sister Miriam (Numbers 12:10).

The Bible accounts that when Moses married a Cushite woman, she and Aaron were overtaken by the pride of hearing God too.

They said, “Is it only through Moses that GOD speaks? Doesn’t he also speak through us?” GOD overheard their talk.”
(Numbers 12:2 MSG).

Aaron was spared leprosy only because he stood in the office of the High Priest and it gave him a covering from judgment.

These two neglected to pray for the Man of God Moses and boasted about what they were also able to do because they too could hear the voice of God.

The humility of the grace of God does not teach men to place their abilities above the person of God and His ordinances.

Therefore, cleansing of the leper is the place where the works of men are disqualified as a means to attain self-qualification above the qualification which comes by Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

The Avarice Of The Leper

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Kings 5:20, 25-27 (KJV), “But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him… And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.”

In our theme scripture, Naaman, the Syrian had just been healed of leprosy by Elisha the prophet, and departed from the presence of Elisha.

However, Gehazi the servant of Elisha, secretly followed Naaman, the captain of the host of Syria that he might receive the money and gifts that his master, Elisha had refused to accept from Naaman.

Gehazi, having been servant to Elisha, was a witness of the transfer of power from Elijah the prophet unto Elisha by reason of Elisha’s ministry and service to Elijah. All that Gehazi had to do was to serve Elisha faithfully to walk in this grace also.

But Gehazi’s heart was overtaken with the love of material things and of money over the love of God. His heart sought a place of self-gain above service to the God who teaches us to profit. His heart was consumed by the love of this world. And consequently, after his master questioned him of his whereabouts, he lied and was judged to bear Naaman’s leprosy.

When I speak about the cleansing of men from leprosy, we must establish the truth that THE GOSPEL IS NOT COMMITTED TO ONE FOR ONE’S OWN PROFIT.

There are people who consider the work of the ministry to be a place to seek for material gain from the people whom they ought to be ministering to.

That kind of spirit preys on the material possessions of their own flock rather than ministering Christ to them that would probably need healing or some kind of answer.

It asks for what it doesn’t provide for by the faithful obedience to the principles of divine providence and multiplication. This is a kind of leprosy too!

In Matthew 10:9-10 MSG, Jesus said, “Don’t think you have to put on a fund-raising campaign before you start. You don’t need a lot of equipment. You are the equipment, and all you need to keep that going is three meals a day. Travel light.” Glory, hallelujah!

Child of God, The Lord is your exceeding great reward in Jesus’ name! (Genesis 15:1).

Look to God Almighty. God who called you by name and anointed you shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19).

You are the true equipment you need to minister Christ in every place. Practice the divine principles of increase and let God take care of the details. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:
The Gospel was not committed to us for personal gain. Look to God Almighty. You are the true equipment you need to minister Christ in every place. Practice the divine principles of increase and let God take care of the details.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the preservation of wisdom. I thank you because this word works in my life and preserves me. It preserves my ministry. It preserves my career. It preserves my children. It preserves my marriage. It preserves every labour of my hands. I thank you because you are my exceeding great reward. I am greater than this world, and all that is in it. I thank you that even though I am richly blessed, I live free from the love of money because I am it’s master, and it my servant. My heart is filled with your love shed abroad by the Holy Ghost. As a faithful steward I have grace to be diligent in financial principles. In the name of Jesus. Amen!

The Planting Of The Lord

Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah‬ 61:3‬ (KJV); …that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

The principle of life is to the effect that there cannot be LIFE without a SEED.

You as a child of God are a seed.

There are seeds that can grow without the best conditions of germination, while there are those that need a lot of all the best conditions.

The Bible says in Isaiah 35:1, “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.”

This means that you are the kind of seed that blossoms even in the harshest environment.

People and circumstances may try to bury you forgettting you are a seed and the planting of God, you will sprout again.

This is the very reason why no circumstance should intimidate you: nothing is able to destroy you!

When it looks like you are down and under, when you are thrown in the most aggressive environment, you adopt and thrive because that is your nature. Praise God!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 15:38, Psalms 23:5

GOLDEN NUGGET:

PRAYER: Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you because I am a seed. I am the planting of Almighty God and can never be moved or shaken by any circumstance. I bring forth fruit in my season and my leaves do not wither. I am not moved by what I see, feel, hear, taste or smell and count it all joy in whatever situation. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Truth And Godliness

Apostle Grace Lubega

Titus‬ 1:1 ‬(KJV‬); Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness‬‬

Paul in our theme scripture speaks of truth that is after godliness. The Amplified version calls it the truth which belongs to and harmonizes with and tends to godliness.

It means that where truth is, God must be manifest.

Sadly, we are living in a time when what is truth has been substituted by politically correct statements that attempt to explain away our limitations and give excuses for why we have not seen the great manifestation of the power of God in our generation.

A great man of God once said that it appears that God was more manifest in the Old Testament than He is today yet our covenant is based on greater promises; we have great access; God now lives and moves in us.

The Bible says that the Greek seeks for WISDOM and the Jew requires a SIGN. (1 Corinthians 1:22).

However, what men are teaching today does not amount to the wisdom of God, which is why it is devoid of power and the grace of conviction that can turn the hearts of men.

In the absence of truth, we also cannot minister to those who only believe by seeing signs, miracles or wonders.

Truth must lead to godliness. Where there is truth, there is power; where there is truth, we minister to both the “Greek” and the “Jew”.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

To Err From The Words Of Knowledge

Apostle Grace Lubega

Proverbs‬19:27 ‬(KJV‬); Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.‬‬

The things that may cause you to err from the words of knowledge sometimes come as instruction. And because they come as instruction, they have instructors.

The language of our theme scripture reveals that these instructions do not cause you to stray IN the words of knowledge but FROM the words of knowledge.

For example, when one is still a babe in the prophetic grace, they may make certain mistakes because they only see in part. This is error IN prophecy.

However, if one is not called to speak for God and uses another spirit to prophecy, regardless of whether what he has spoken is accurate or not, this person has erred FROM prophecy.

If a teacher misunderstands a scripture (perhaps by ignoring its context or to whom it applies), that is error IN the word.

If he teaches something that has absolutely no scriptural backing, that is error FROM knowledge.

When it comes to who instructs you in the things of God, you ought to be discerning child of God.

God has called you to depth of understanding. Determine to know the Word of God for yourself; do not leave your understanding of truth to be defined by another person without the inward witness of the Spirit.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

PRAYER: Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you for this knowledge. I thank you because I never stray from the words of knowledge. I carry a perfect understanding of the Word of God and have the wisdom that discerns the difference between error and truth. I am yielded to the Word and can never be deceived. In Jesus’ name, Amen

POUR SE TROMPER DES MOTS DE LA CONNAISSANCE

Proverbes ‬19:27 ‬(KJV‬) Cessez, mon fils, d’entendre l’instruction qui cause de se tromper de mots de la connaissance.

Les choses qui peuvent vous amener à vous tromper de mots de la connaissance viennent parfois comme instruction. Et parce qu’ils viennent en tant qu’instructions, ils ont des instructeurs.

Le langage de notre écriture révèle que ces instructions ne vous font pas écarter DANS des mots de la connaissance mais DES mots de la connaissance.

Par exemple, quand on est encore un bébé dans la grâce prophétique, ils peuvent faire certaines erreurs parce qu’ils ne voient qu’une partie. C’est une erreur DANS la prophétie.

Cependant, si quelqu’un n’est pas appelé à parler pour Dieu et utilise un autre esprit pour prophétiser, indépendamment du fait que ce qu’il a dit soit exact ou non, cette personne a erré DE la prophétie.

Si un enseignant comprend mal une écriture (peut-être en ignorant son contexte ou à qui il s’applique), c’est une erreur DANS la parole.

S’il enseigne quelque chose qui n’a absolument aucun support scriptural, c’est une erreur DE la connaissance.

Quand il s’agit de vous instruire sur les choses de Dieu, vous devez être un enfant discernant de Dieu.

Dieu vous a appelé à la profondeur de la compréhension. Déterminez à connaître la Parole de Dieu pour soi-même ; ne laissez pas votre compréhension de la vérité être définie par une autre personne sans le témoignage intérieur de l’Esprit.

The Tent Dweller

Apostle Grace Lubega

Genesis‬ 25:27-28‬ (KJV‬); And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.‬

Religion has taught Christians that they can receive nothing from God without tireless hard work. In religion, there is no place for favour.

But what does the Bible teach?
Why did God speak of giving you houses you did not build, wells you did not dig and vineyards you did not plant?( Deuteronomy 6:11).

This was the life of Jacob. In sharp contrast to his brother Esau who was a hunter and a very hard worker, Jacob was a tent dweller who was not familiar with the rigorous demands of the fields.

Isaac sought to bless Esau based on what he could do. However, this was not God’s plan. He ensured that Jacob who had done nothing to deserve it would receive the blessing.

In fact, when Rebecca asked Jacob to pose as Esau, she took the responsibility of any curse he might receive (Genesis 27:13). She was a figure of the Christ who became a curse for us in Galatians 3:13.

God couldn’t allow the hunter to arrive before the tent dweller received the father’s blessing; this is what is called the grace of God.

There are times you will hunt for game but there are also times you will be given game. It is your choice child of God.

This does not mean that Christians have to sit back and do nothing, to never work, get jobs and simply await miracles. No!

We work hard and strive to be the very best at what we do but we are also conscious of the favour of God that constantly gives us advantage over others.

Some Christians have feared unmerited blessings because of the religious misconceptions that were preached to them over the years.

Yet the scriptures say “If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19). Some Christians are obedient but they are not willing to receive the blessings of God. Child of God, not everything should come to you the hard way.

The favour of God has prepared for you things that you do not deserve. You must believe it!

In Jesus’s name, Amen.

The Error Of The Ruler

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ecclesiastes 10:5-7(KJV); There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

It is against the order of the Spirit for princes to walk as servants while servants ride on horseback.

There are privileges that children of the covenant are not enjoying yet those that are not of the covenant are delighting in.

Our theme scripture reveals that this is an error and it proceeds from the ruler.

Who is the ruler in this instance?

It is you, child of God! You have been made a king and priest unto God (Revelation 1:6).

What is the error of the ruler? The greatest error of the ruler is the error of his speech!

HOW and WHAT you speak renders you a servant in the place where you ought to be king.

God has given you charge over your life by the power of your word (Proverbs 18:21).

Some children of God look like the scum of the earth because they have not learnt to take charge of their tongues in perfection of speech.

The bible says that if a man does not offend in word, then he is a perfect man and thus able to bridle (lead, command and instruct) the whole body (James 3:2).

Your ability to lead (not just the body) but your church, community, nation or world starts from how well you have learned to tame your tongue.

When a servant speaks like a prince, he will ride on horseback. When a prince speaks like a servant, he will walk like a servant.

L’ERREUR DU DIRIGEANT

Ecclésiastes 10:5-7(KJV) Il y a un mal que j’ai vu sous le soleil, comme une erreur qui vient du dirigeant : la folie est placée dans une grande dignité, et les riches sont assis dans un endroit bas. J’ai vu des serviteurs sur des chevaux, et des princes marchant comme des serviteurs sur la terre.

C’est contre l’ordre de l’Esprit que les princes marchent comme des serviteurs pendant que les serviteurs montent à cheval.

Il y a des privilèges que les enfants de l’alliance ne jouissent pas encore ceux qui ne sont pas de l’alliance se réjouissent.

Notre écriture révèle qu’il s’agit d’une erreur et qu’elle provient du dirigeant.

Qui est le dirigeant dans ce cas ?

C’est toi, enfant de Dieu ! Vous avez été fait roi et prêtre de Dieu (Apocalypse 1:6).

Quelle est l’erreur du dirigeant ? La plus grande erreur du souverain est l’erreur de son discours !

COMMENT et CE QUE vous parlez vous rend un serviteur à l’endroit où vous devriez être roi.

Dieu vous a donné la charge sur votre vie par la puissance de votre parole (Proverbes 18:21).

Certains enfants de Dieu ressemblent à l’écume de la terre parce qu’ils n’ont pas appris à prendre en charge leur langue dans la perfection du discours.

La bible dit que si un homme n’offense pas dans la parole, alors il est un homme parfait et donc capable de brider (diriger, commander et instruire) le corps entier (Jacques 3:2).

Votre capacité à diriger (pas seulement le corps) mais votre église, votre communauté, votre nation ou votre monde commence par la façon dont vous avez appris à dompter votre langue.

Quand un serviteur parle comme un prince, il montera à cheval. Quand un prince parle comme un serviteur, il marchera comme un serviteur.

The Unctioned Minister: To Feed All

Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah 50:4(KJV‬); The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.‬

As a minister, there are things God will reveal to you in this life that are specifically for you.

There are also things that He will reveal that are for the church at large.

This means that not everything revealed to you as a minister ought to be shared with the general congregation.

What is revealed for your personal benefit might not necessarily benefit the entire church.

This is why it is important as a minister, to be led by divine unction.

When you minister under divine unction, you have the grace to speak a word in season to your listeners!

You may speak a hundred things in one message but everyone who listens to you leaves feeling that they have been fed.

There might be thousands listening to you but there will be a word for each one of them. This is the very grace that makes your teachings answers to multitudes. Hallelujah!

The Unctioned Minister: Diversities Of The Spirit

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (KJV); Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

Years ago, a man of God approached me and ridiculed me over my style of preaching. He advised that it was not good to move about on the pulpit as one speaks and that it was important to maintain one standing position.

He also advised that the sermon must have a proper chronology: introduction, body and conclusion.

Eager to be better, I tried his suggestions and found that I could not conform.

I learned from that experience that it is not proper to try and place a minister within a particular box and confine them to a strict way of doing things.

Being an UNCTIONED minister means that what the Holy Spirit tells you is what you minister. The Holy Spirit does not lead you by the chronology of your sermon notes.

We must appreciate the fact that there are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit, diversities of administrations but the same Lord and diversities of operations but the same God.

The way God made you as a minister might not be the way He made another person.

It is erroneous to think that if you don’t appear or minister like others, you are wrong.

You Are Crowned

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Timothy‬ 2:5‬ (KJV‬); And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.‬‬‬‬

There are people in this world who strive for mastery and are consequently crowned.

Striving here is not the struggle to attain something. It is the pursuit of excellence and distinction that is the call for every child of God.

For example, God does not merely want you to be a teacher; He wants you to master at teaching. God does not want you to be merely a prophet; He wants you to be a master at prophecy. God doesn’t want you to merely be a businessman; He wants you to be a master in business.

What is this crown?

This crown is the circumference of your influence in the spirit.

In the dispensation of the grace of God and the understanding that we have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), we live as men that have already been crowned.

God has already expanded the sphere of your influence in the spirit.

As you are already crowned, you do not strive by law, that is, your increase does not come by the things you labour to do in your own power.

Your multiplication is a grace issue and a result of yielding to God’s power at work in you.

Child of God, you are already crowned and as such, only strive in the liberties of the spirit. Hallelujah!

We Fight By Wise Counsel

Apostle Grace Lubega

Proverbs 24:6 (KJV); For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

If any child of God must fight the good fight of faith, they must do it by wise counsel.

This is a pattern in the wisdom of God by which we make war.

The reason why many people fight battles and are defeated every other day is because they are fighting the wrong way, they wage war with false counsel and consequently lose.

Proverbs 19:27 says, “Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.”

That means we ought to know and give heed to instructions of truth not deception.

One must assess the knowledge they are exposed to and ask themselves first, what sort of knowledge is this? Can it be backed by the word of God?

So, what does His counsel say about that situation?

Fight by exercising yourself to bring every imagination in obedience to the Word of God revealed in your spirit.

Let the oracles of God define your speech and every conversation that the communication of your faith will be made effectual by acknowledging every good thing in you. Hallelujah!
