The Pure Conscience

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Timothy 3:9 (KJV); Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

The conscience is that part of the living soul that hears God.

Hearing God requires a vulnerability on your part because He keeps His secrets with the humble (Psalms 25:14).

This state is that of a broken and contrite spirit.

If you do not have a full revelation of the word, this contriteness may make you susceptible to a familiar spirit.

Familiar spirits try to speak like God, carry a form of accuracy but this accuracy is devoid of truth.

Your conscience ought to be purified because its the justification of inward witness.

When your inward witness [the Holy Spirit] speaks, you should not have trouble responding to his promptings, direction and instruction. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The conscience is the part of you that hears God. Your conscience ought to be purified because its the justification of the inward witness.

PRAYER: My loving father, I thank you because I have a pure conscience. Indeed there are many voices and there is none without significance but the state of my heart allows me to hear you with distinction and clarity. Your Word says I will hear a word behind me saying, this is the way, walk in it. Today, I walk in the confidence that your voice gives me constant direction. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Church Edifice

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 John 3:2 (KJV); Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

The apostles in the early church functioned as the body of Christ at a foundational level.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:10, “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon…”

A building is not defined only by its foundations; to be complete, it ought to have walls, doors, windows and a roof.

The foundation is a hidden part of a structure. When it comes to the church, this means that we ought to be past the revelations of Paul regarding the person of Christ; we must demonstrate a deeper reality of Him.

Because they of old beheld the foundation, the apostle John could say, “now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is”.

But the LORD does not expect you to speak like John; you know what you shall be. The Bible says, “we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

The more we see, the more we become; this is the essence of the gospel; to make men the see fellowship of the mystery! (Ephesians 3:9).

As the revelation of Christ increases in this dispensation, the nature, identity and abilities of a child of God as we commonly know them must also change.

The world must look at children of God and attest to the fact that they are not mere men. Hallelujah!

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for who I am in you. I am not merely a new man in Christ; I am a new creature. The revelation and realities of the Christ gushing out of my spirit cause me to change person and form. This world does not understand me. I shock it daily because I live in the manifestation of that which no eye has seen, ear has heard or has entered into the hearts of men. To the glory of your name. Amen.

L’ÉDIFICE DE L’ÉGLISE

1 Jean 3:2 (KJV) Bien-aimés, nous sommes maintenant enfants de Dieu, et ce que nous serons n’a pas encore été manifesté; mais nous savons que, lorsque cela sera manifesté, nous serons semblables à lui, parce que nous le verrons tel qu’il est.

Les apôtres dans l’église primitive fonctionnaient comme le corps du Christ à un niveau fondamental.

Paul a dit dans 1 Corinthiens 3:10 : « Selon la grâce de Dieu qui m’a été donnée, en tant que sage architecte, j’ai posé le fondement, et un autre bâtit dessus… »

Un bâtiment n’est pas défini seulement par ses fondations ; pour être complet, il devrait avoir des murs, des portes, des fenêtres et un toit.

La fondation est une partie cachée d’une structure. Quand il s’agit de l’église, cela signifie que nous devrions être au-delà des révélations de Paul concernant la personne du Christ ; nous devons démontrer une réalité plus profonde de Lui.

Parce que les anciens voyaient le fondement, l’apôtre Jean pouvait dire : « Nous sommes maintenant fils de Dieu, et ce que nous serons n’est pas encore apparu ; mais nous savons que, lorsqu’il apparaîtra, nous serons semblables à lui ; car nous le verrons tel qu’il est ».

Mais l’ÉTERNEL ne s’attend pas à ce que vous parliez comme Jean ; vous saviez ce que tu seras. La Bible dit : « Nous serons comme lu i; car nous le verrons tel qu’il est ».

Plus nous voyons, plus nous devenons ; c’est l’essence de l’évangile ; faire des hommes la communion de voir le mystère ! (Éphésiens 3:9).

À mesure que la révélation du Christ augmente dans cette dispensation, la nature, l’identité et les capacités d’un enfant de Dieu tel que nous les connaissons doivent également changer.

Le monde doit regarder les enfants de Dieu et attester qu’ils ne sont pas de simples hommes. Alléluia !

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour ce que je suis en toi. Je ne suis pas simplement un homme nouveau en Christ ; je suis une nouvelle créature. La révélation et les réalités du Christ jaillissant de mon esprit me font changer de personne et de forme. Ce monde ne me comprend pas. Je le choque tous les jours parce que je vis dans la manifestation de ce qu’aucun œil n’a vu, que l’oreille a entendu ou est entré dans le cœur des hommes. Pour la gloire de ton nom. Amen.

Manifesting Glory

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 4:6 (KJV); For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

In the beginning of creation, GOD said, “Let there be light and there was light” (Genesis 1:3).

To you, a Born Again Christian, He is not on the outside commanding light to shine. He is in you and is shining to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of Jesus Christ.

This means that the reality of GOD is coming out of you by knowledge and that knowledge radiates glory: who He is and what He can do by you in the face of Jesus Christ.

The knowledge you have must carry a certain glory. What you speak must manifest.

In our day, some Christians speak words without results.

They confess that GOD is in them; that as He is so are they in this world (1 John 4:17); that the same power that conquered the grave lives in them.

All this is true but where is its manifestation? Where is the glory of such weighty truths?

The disciples had this knowledge and prayed until the ground trembled (Acts 4:31); Paul had this knowledge and he worshipped until the foundations of a prison were shaken (Acts 16:25-26); they had knowledge and it was said of them that they turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6).Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The reality of God is coming out of you by knowledge and that knowledge radiates glory: who He is and what He can do by you in the face of Jesus Christ.

PRAYER: My Lord, I thank you for the glory of knowledge. I do not just know but walk in the manifestation of what you have revealed. You have caused me to taste, touch, see and hear the realities of the Spirit. You have flooded my heart with revelations of the things that you have prepared for those whom you love. With all this knowledge, I cannot die, pray or serve you like a normal man. When the world sees me, it sees you because this knowledge comes with glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LA MANIFESTATION DE LA GLOIRE

2 Corinthiens 4:6 (KJV) Car Dieu, qui a dit: La lumière brillera du sein des ténèbres! a fait briller la lumière dans nos cœurs pour faire resplendir la connaissance de la gloire de Dieu sur la face de Christ.

Au commencement de la création, DIEU a dit : « Que la lumière soit et la lumière fut » (Genèse 1:3).

Pour vous, un chrétien né de nouveau, il n’est pas à l’extérieur de la lumière dominante pour briller. Il est en vous et brille pour donner la lumière de la connaissance de la gloire de DIEU sur le visage de Jésus-Christ.

Cela signifie que la réalité de DIEU sort de vous par la connaissance et que la connaissance rayonne de gloire : qui Il est et qu’est-ce qu’Il peut faire par vous dans le visage de Jésus-Christ.

La connaissance que vous avez doit avoir une certaine gloire. Ce que vous parlez doit se manifester.

De nos jours, certains chrétiens parlent des mots sans résultats.

Ils confessent que DIEU est en eux ; comme Il est ainsi dans ce monde (1 Jean 4:17) ; que le même pouvoir qui a conquis la tombe vit en eux.

Tout ceci est vrai mais où est sa manifestation ? Où est la gloire de telles vérités lourdes ?

Les disciples ont eu cette connaissance et ont prié jusqu’à ce que la terre tremblât (Actes 4:31) ; Paul avait cette connaissance et il adora jusqu’à ce que les fondations d’une prison soient ébranlées (Actes 16:25-26) ; ils avaient la connaissance et il a été dit d’eux qu’ils ont bouleversé le monde (Actes 17:6). Alléluia !

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Colossiens 4:4, Actes 17:6

PÉPITE D’OR : la réalité de Dieu sort de vous par la connaissance et que la connaissance rayonne de gloire : qui Il est et qu’est-ce qu’Il peut faire par vous dans le visage de Jésus-Christ.

PRIÈRE : Mon Seigneur, je te remercie pour la gloire de la connaissance. Je ne sais pas seulement mais je marche dans la manifestation de ce que tu as révélé. Tu m’as fait goûter, toucher, voir et entendre les réalités de l’Esprit. Tu as inondé mon cœur de révélations des choses que tu as préparées pour ceux que tu aimes. Avec toute cette connaissance, je ne peux pas mourir, prier ou te servir comme un homme normal. Quand le monde me voit, il te voit parce que cette connaissance vient avec la gloire. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

The Spirit of the Lord Has Made You

Apostle Grace Lubega

Gen 1:1-3 (KJV); In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light

Metaphorically, before you got Born Again, your state was similar to that of the world at the beginning of time. You were “without form, void and in darkness.”

When you became a new creature in Christ by reason of salvation, the Holy Spirit got in the inside of you and started to give you form.

In Job 33:4 the Bible says; “the Spirit of the Lord has made you and the breath of the Almighty has given you life.”

Creation took its shape with the aid of the Holy Spirit: the manifestation of light, the separation of the waters of the earth, the formation of every plant yielding seed after its own kind, the establishment of the firmament above the earth and the creation of the great lights to rule the day and the night (Genesis 1).

All this was done by the hand of the Spirit of GOD.

If the Spirit patterned creation in its glorious beauty, gave it splendor, life and light, how much more you?

When Paul understood this, he said, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of GOD, and not of us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7).

This is what makes you the perfection of beauty in Zion (Psalms 50:2).

The Spirit of the LORD has made you; He has given you form and shape; you have purpose and destiny. He has filled you with good things and you lack nothing. Hallelujah!

He radiates light to the nations through me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

L’ESPRIT DU SEIGNEUR VOUS A MODELÉ

Genèse 1:1-3 (KJV) Au commencement, Dieu créa les cieux et la terre. La terre était informe et vide : il y avait des ténèbres à la surface de l’abîme, et l’esprit de Dieu se mouvait au-dessus des eaux. Dieu dit : Que la lumière soit ! Et la lumière fut.

Métaphoriquement, avant que vous soyez né de nouveau, votre état était semblable à celui du monde au début des temps. Vous étiez « sans forme, vide et dans les ténèbres ».

Lorsque vous êtes devenu une nouvelle créature en Christ en raison du salut, le Saint-Esprit est entré en vous et a commencé à vous donner forme.

Dans Job 33:4, la Bible dit : « L’Esprit du Seigneur vous a fait et le souffle du Tout-Puissant vous a donné la vie ».

La création a pris sa forme avec l’aide de le Saint-Esprit : la manifestation de la lumière, la séparation des eaux de la terre, la formation de chaque plante produisant la semence selon son propre espèce, l’établissement du firmament au-dessus de la terre et la création de grandes lumières pour régner le jour et la nuit (Genèse 1).

Tout cela a été fait par la main de l’Esprit de DIEU.

Si l’Esprit a modelé la création dans sa beauté glorieuse, lui a donné la splendeur, la vie et la lumière, combien plus encore pour vous ?

Quand Paul a compris cela, il a dit : « Mais nous avons ce trésor dans des vases de terre, afin que l’excellence de la puissance soit de DIEU, et non de nous ». (2 Corinthiens 4:7).

C’est ce qui fait de vous la perfection de la beauté à Sion (Psaumes 50:2).

L’Esprit de l’Eternel t’a fait : Il t’a donné forme et contour ; vous avez un but et un destin. Il t’a rempli de bonnes choses et vous ne manquez de rien. Alléluia !

Of Tradition

Apostle Grace Lubega

Mark 7:13 (KJV); Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

By the Word of GOD, the worlds were framed (Hebrews 11:3).

This same Word laid the foundations of the earth; by Him all things were created (John 1:3).

Different biblical experiences explain its unimaginable power: to raise the dead, to change seasons, to claim military victories and to subdue entire kingdoms.

The scriptures also reveal that this great Word can be made ineffectual [void of force and authority] by tradition!

Traditions take root when opinions and ideas of men replace the revelation of the Christ.

Some Christians pray traditionally in their understanding of prayer; they worship traditionally, in their understanding of worship and serve GOD traditionally in their understanding of service to GOD.

With revelation comes redemptive power.

When revelation comes to your spirit, “the eyes of your heart are flooded with light; you understand the hope to which He has called you; the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints and the immeasurable and unlimited greatness of His power, in and for us who believe.”(Ephesians 1:17-19).

DE TRADITION

Marc 7:13 (KJV) Annulant ainsi la parole de Dieu par votre tradition, que vous avez établie. Et vous faites beaucoup d’autres choses semblables.

Par la Parole de DIEU, les mondes ont été encadrés (Hébreux 11:3).

Cette même Parole a posé les bases de la terre ; par Lui tout a été créé (Jean 1:3).

Différentes expériences bibliques expliquent son pouvoir inimaginable : élever les morts, changer les saisons, revendiquer des victoires militaires et soumettre des royaumes entiers.

Les écritures révèlent aussi que cette grande Parole peut être rendue inefficace [par la force et l’autorité] par la tradition !

Les traditions prennent racine lorsque les opinions et les idées des hommes remplacent la révélation du Christ.

Certains chrétiens prient traditionnellement dans leur compréhension de la prière ; ils adorent traditionnellement, dans leur compréhension du culte et servent DIEU traditionnellement dans leur compréhension du service à DIEU.

Avec la révélation vient le pouvoir rédempteur.

Quand la révélation vient à votre esprit, « les yeux de votre cœur sont inondés de lumière ; tu comprends l’espérance à laquelle Il vous a appelé ; la richesse de Son héritage glorieux dans les saints et la grandeur incommensurable et illimitée de Sa puissance, dans et pour nous qui croyons. » (Ephésiens 1:17-19).

PRIÈRE : Mon père, je te remercie pour ta Parole. C’est la grande puissance par laquelle le monde a pris forme.

Serve Your Occasion: Understanding The Times

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Samuel 10: 6-7 (KJV); And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.

If you are truly led by the Holy Spirit, you should not struggle in the things He leads you into.

For example, you cannot claim that the Holy Spirit led you into a marriage, which turned out to be a “bed of thorns” and consequent divorce.

The Holy Spirit cannot lead you into a job that becomes a “blight on your soul”, or a business deal that goes to wreckage.

As the helper, the Holy Spirit leads you to serve you. He is the shepherd who makes you lie down in green pastures and leads you besides still waters (Psalms 23:1).

These waters [the experiences of the Spirit] and pastures [His Word] are for your sake.

In our theme scripture, Saul is told by the prophet Samuel, “when the spirit comes upon you, you will prophesy and be turned into another man. When these signs come to you, do as occasion serves you for GOD is with you.”

For Saul, signs preceded the occasion that was to be served. The Spirit wants to lead you to deeper experiences and greater depths in the Word.

Have you read and understood the signs? It may be the slightest prompting to pray, to study a particular scripture, to attend a meeting, to listen to a specific message, or to seat under a particular minister.

These things determine whether you will serve your occasion fully or not.

SERVIR VOTRE OCCASION : LA COMPRÉHENSION DU TEMPS

1 Samuel 10: 6-7 (KJV) L’esprit de l’Eternel te saisira, tu prophétiseras avec eux, et tu seras changé en un autre homme. Lorsque ces signes auront eu pour toi leur accomplissement, fais ce que tu trouveras à faire, car Dieu est avec toi.

Si vous êtes vraiment conduit par le Saint-Esprit, vous ne devriez pas lutter dans les choses dans lesquelles Il vous conduit.

Par exemple, vous ne pouvez pas prétendre que le Saint-Esprit vous a conduit à un mariage, qui s’est avéré être un « lit d’épines » et un divorce conséquent.

Le Saint-Esprit ne peut pas vous mener à un travail qui devient un « fléau pour votre âme », ou une affaire qui va à l’épave.

En tant qu’assistant, le Saint-Esprit vous conduit à vous servir. Il est le berger qui vous fait allonger dans les verts pâturages et vous conduit à côté des eaux tranquilles (Psaumes 23:1).

Ces eaux [les expériences de l’Esprit] et les pâturages [Sa Parole] sont pour votre bien.

Dans notre écriture, le prophète Samuel dit à Saül : « Quand l’esprit viendra sur vous, vous prophétiserez et serez transformé en un autre homme. Quand ces signes viennent à vous, faites comme l’occasion vous sert pour que DIEU soit avec vous. »

Pour Saul, les signes précédaient l’occasion qui devait être servie. L’Esprit veut vous conduire à des expériences plus profondes et à de plus grandes profondeurs dans la Parole.

Avez-vous lu et compris les signes ? Il peut s’agir de la moindre incitation à prier, à étudier une écriture particulière, à assister à une réunion, à écouter un message spécifique ou à siéger sous un ministre particulier.

Ces choses déterminent si vous allez servir votre occasion pleinement ou non.

Part The Waters!

Apostle Grace Lubega

Exodus 14:13-16 (KJV); And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

In life, you may find yourself caught between “a rock and a hard place.”

Circumstances may offer you the ultimatum of making a choice that is no choice at all.

Like the children of Israel, one day, you might get trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s advancing army.

What is a child of the Most High to do in such a scenario?

Moses’ instruction to the children of Israel in this situation was ill-advised. He encouraged them to “stand still and see the salvation of the LORD…”

It seemed like the brave thing to do. In fact, the Church of Christ has formed a doctrine of “faith in the face of adversity” based on Moses’ words.

We have even sung songs on standing still to see the salvation of the Lord.

GOD asked Moses, “Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”

What sounded like great faith on Moses’ part was actually unbelief to GOD.

GOD wants you to lift your rod, separate the waters and move forward!

You are the kind who passes through water and does not drown; the kind who walks through fires and is not consumed (Isaiah 43:2). Hallelujah!

PRAYER: My great GOD I thank you. This day, my faith is built up with the confidence that there is nothing I cannot face. It doesn’t matter that there are Egyptians approaching. Like your Word has said, they are just men and their horses are puny flesh. The waters before me part at the sound of your Word and I walk through on dry ground. I refuse to be afraid! I refuse to look back. I launch out in faith and see your salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

You Must Be Revealed

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 8:16-17 (KJV); No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Your spirit is the candle of the LORD (Proverbs 20:27). He lights you Himself and when He does, He does not put you under a bed but sets you on a candlestick.

What a profound truth! How then can you ever imagine that you will not be great in this world? How won’t kings come to the brightness of your rising? How won’t gentiles come to your light? (Isaiah 60:3).

For now, you may feel hidden; you might be tempted to question your significance in this vast cosmos, and assume that you are just another “tiny, momentary speck within an indifferent universe” but you are much more than that!

Nothing secret shall not be made manifest; nothing hidden shall not be known and brought abroad. You must be revealed!

The LORD makes His ministering servants flames of fire (Hebrews 1:7). Fire cannot be hidden.

Whatever has covered you is going to be burned because you must be revealed.

Every form of limitation, be it in knowledge or resources, that has kept you hidden is burned down because God seeks to reveal you. Hallelujah!

I am that burning and shining light whose sound echoes past desert places to towns, cities and nations. The flames of divine purpose and distinction have consumed me; how can I be normal? Every form of limitation is burned down by these fires; every restriction is destroyed by this glory. Nations hear me; continents hear me; the world hears me because what is manifesting out of me cannot be hidden. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

You Are The Salt Of The Earth

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Kings 2:19-22 (KJV); And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.

Years ago, before we understood certain truths pertaining to who we are in GOD, we were fond of sprinkling salt in places either to “dispel demonic forces” or “cover ourselves with divine protection.”

After all, Elisha had done the same. Our theme scripture reveals that when he cast salt into the bitter waters of Jericho, both the waters and the barren land were healed.

The good news is that the New Testament has brought to light a deeper truth, hallelujah! The LORD declared, “Ye are the salt of the earth…” (Matthew 5:13).

It is you that brings restoration to that which is defiled and impure.

Child of GOD, the moment you set foot on a land that is struggling, it must be healed.

If you are hired by a business that is on a downward spiral, its status must take an upward trend because you are the “salt” of that business. Praise GOD!

When I set my foot in any nation things start to get in order. I am the salt! I am the solution! I am the answer! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Gen 37:31-34 (KJV); And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no. And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

The context of our theme scripture is that after Joseph’s brothers had sold him to certain Midianites, they dipped his coat of many colours in goat’s blood and showed it to his father.

When Jacob saw the coat, the Bible says “he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him.”

Jacob concluded that his son was dead over the testimony of goat’s blood.

When you study the scriptures, you will realise that for twenty one years afterwards, right from the day Jacob admitted this truth in his spirit, he never heard the voice of God again.

God only spoke to him after his spirit revived and he acknowledged that Joseph his son was alive (Genesis 45:27-46:3).

Many Christians have beheld the testimony of goat’s blood and concluded that certain things in their lives were dead.

These conclusions shut out the clarity of God’s voice in their lives.

That sad doctor’s report is only goat’s blood. Don’t base on it to conclude that you are bound to die any time soon.

The rumours about laying off staff in your company should not drive you to the conclusion that you have lost your job.

Regardless of how convincing the evidence is, remind yourself that it is only goat’s blood. Hallelujah!

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for your Word. I behold the testimony of truth and not just facts. It doesn’t matter how the situation appears, my eyes are set on you and my heart is attentive to your blessed assurance. I believe your report above all else. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
