Locusts In Divine Winds: The South Wind

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 12:55-56 (KJV); And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this 

There are a number of winds in the Spirit: East wind, North wind, West wind and South wind.

The south wind, as referred to in our theme scripture, is the WIND OF DIVINE PURPOSE.

As a wind of the Spirit, it has a spiritual time tagged to it.

This means that if you must fly by this wind (or any spiritual wind) timing of the wind is critical.

There are those that jump into the South wind before time simply because they learnt to fly; this is the Christian who will start a church of his own just because he performed a miracle; this is the worshiper who starts a ministry simply because she was praised for the beauty of her voice.

There are those who also fly contrary to the South wind, yet they should fly in the direction of the wind itself. These are children of God who think they are executing divine purpose yet they are working against the mind and the will of God; for example those who fight revival and persecute fellow Christians while in their minds they think they are serving God.

This should not to be your story. You should accurately time the South wind and fly in its direction.

How so?

Firstly, understand that for every timing of the winds of the Spirit, there are spiritual signs.

When you learn to read the signs, you will accurately time the winds.

So, be sensitive to these spiritual signs because it is from the accurate reading of these signs that you will be in a position to fly with the South wind.

Choose to be deliberate in asking God what He is up to in this day.

Learn from the men and women He has set apart for your sake in these times.

I assure you that when you do, divine laws will work in your favour because you are aligned to divine purpose and time.

Locusts In Divine Winds: One With The Wind

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 3:8 (AMP); The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

When the Lord told us to occupy until He comes (Luke 19:13), He meant that we have the mandate to consume every inch of this world by the power of God.

This ability to consume is comparable to how a swarm of locusts function; they will leave nothing untouched.
However in their massive movement, locusts depend on the wind.

When this is related to the life of a Christian, understand that this is no ordinary wind; it is the Holy Spirit.

Our ability to impact every place we go depends on how much we are yielded to the Spirit of God. For it is not by might nor by power but by His Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).

The beauty of this is that as we continue to yield to God, we take on the attributes of the very wind by which we move.

Our theme scripture explains the characteristics of this wind thus; it blows where it wills; you hear its sounds but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going.

People will feel your impact but they will not be able to predict you! They will see your effect yet not be able to contemplate your next move because you are not just a locust in the wind but are one with the wind.

So, child of God, cultivate a relationship with the Holy Spirit, purpose to constantly be in consonance with Him.

The Days Of Revival Are Here

Apostle Grace Lubega

Jeremiah 29:12‭-‬13 (KJV); Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Before revival swept across Wales, it was an ordinary nation.‬‬‬‬‬‬

It is documented that he spent months weeping for his land.

There are many such stories in church history that demonstrate how God changed entire nations when men turned their hearts to truly seek His face.

God wants to return us to those days with even greater glory. The time is now for you to understand that THERE’S MORE for the Church of Christ!

God wants to bring us to a place where His glory swallows up our nation to the point that church services shift from monotonous routine programs to spontaneous Spirit led sessions.

Your soul should pant for revival.

You should pray earnestly for the manifestation of the full picture of who God is as revealed in His Word.

May this vision push you an extra hour in prayer and the Word! May it cause you to seek for more of Him in your nation! May it bend you until you are consumed with the desire to see His glory sweep across your land!

This is my cry and hunger! I stand in the assurance that those who hunger and thirst for you are filled. Thank you for the great things you manifest in my days. I will live to say that it was beautiful to be alive in my times. In Jesus’ might name. Amen.

Wiser Than Solomon

Matthew 12:42 (KJV); The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

A Christian once told me that no man would ever be wiser than King Solomon. He was making reference to 1 Kings 3:12 when the Lord told Solomon, “Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.”

Indeed no man will ever be wiser than Solomon, but you, child of God are more than a man!

You were not begotten by the will of a man or of flesh and blood but were begotten of God (John 1:13). You carry the God-gene, and of this, the Bible says that the scripture cannot be broken (John 10:34-35).

There was a kind of wisdom that God could not give to Solomon because of the nature of the covenant he was under. He was a man in the adamic nature and therefore susceptible to limitation and corruption.

In fact, Solomon was a LEARNING man. This is why He could make statements such as “I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle to the strong…” (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

He was functioning under progressive knowledge (gnosko) because he was only gradually coming to the understanding of certain truths.

You on the other hand are a LEARNED spirit; you have EPIGNOSIS, which is the ADVANCED knowledge in and of God.

You are not simply acquiring knowledge of both earthly and divine things. The Bible says you know all things (1 John 2:20). You received Christ in whom is hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).

You are wiser than Solomon! You are mantled by the manifold wisdom of eternity. Speak like the epitome of wisdom; act like a vessel of divine wisdom, relate with the men of this world like you are the wisest person that ever lived. Hallelujah!

The Nations Are Our Inheritance

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms 2:8 (KJV); Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.

In my walk of salvation, I have witnessed ministers of the gospel forming networks, not for the purpose of the furtherance of the Gospel but for personal ambitions.

These networks are designed to create connections for access to pulpits in certain nations and opportunities to preach in places that are considered prestigious.

What they don’t understand is that the doors for the preaching of the gospel are not opened by “connections” or the knowledge of who is who.

Child of God, if you seek for nations to open up to you, God gave you a free password. In our theme scripture, He told you to ask Him, and He will give you the nations as your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as your possession.

God intends that nations become your legacy; your domain should stretch to the ends of the earth.

The nations are calling and the answer to their cries is in the knowledge that God has placed in the inside of you.

God does not want to take you to a nation for you to simply carry the vain testimony that you have been to country X or Y. God wants that the moment you step into any land, any principality in that place bows in acknowledgement of the fact that a son of God has stepped on that soil.

You have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the Faith among all nations (Romans 1:5). Whatsoever obeys you opens up to you. Hallelujah!

In His Presence: The Holy One In The Midst Of You

Apostle Grace Lubega

Hosea 11:9 (KJV) I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

It is easy to get familiar with the presence of God and have an “I have seen that and done that attitude”

But here is a caution, He says, “I am God and not man, the Holy One in the midst of you.”

Some people behave like God is a peer whose presence and Word they can take lightly.

His Word is of very little consequence and His presence is not a precious thing in their eyes.

They go to church as if they have gone to meet a man. They pray as if they are dealing with a man. They relate with God as though they were relating with a man.

He warns you, “I am not a man…”

This is the God before whom elders cast golden crowns (Revelation 4:10-11).

In the Old Testament, His glory filled the temple that even the Levites failed to minister (2 Chronicles 5:14).

That is the God in whose presence we stand.

There is a vision; an understanding of God that you must always set before you.

Treat as sacred the things of God. His name be praised.

In His Presence: Liberty Versus Vice

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 10:23(AMP); All things are legitimate [permissible–and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome. All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].

We live in a generation where the liberty we have in Christ has been grossly abused. There are Christians whose only interest in going to Church is to “catch up” with friends.

I attended church services where once the praise session was done, to some of the congregants, so was the service. I once observed a young man reading newspapers when it came to the time of the Word. How heart breaking!

What is in the mind of a man who thinks it is fine to start conversing and gossiping in Church? What is in the spirit of a woman who thinks church service is the time to send Facebook and WhatsApp messages?

When the Bible speaks of all things being legitimate, that is, “we are free to do anything we please” you must be careful to ensure that there is no vice in your liberties.

Sometimes what is freedom to a man is vice to the Spirit, in the same way that freedom to some men is bondage to God. You must have THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

The presence of God is the tangibility of His reality. It is Him saying, “I am real; feel me, see me, touch me.”

His presence is an opportunity for you to delve into His bottomless depths. How can you take it lightly?

Until you understand that the presence of God is one of the greatest liberties of the Spirit, you may never explore certain depths in Him.

Learn to treat His presence with the reverence it deserves lest your liberty be found to be with vice.

I walk in this understanding every day and as I do, my spirit is opened to deeper places in you. To the glory of your name. Amen.

Faultlessness In The Liberties

Apostle Grace Lubega

James 1:25 (AMP); But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).

The law of liberty gives us the ability to function in all dimensions of the Spirit. Some translations call this the law of free men or the law that sets us free.

The scriptures have called it a FAULTLESS LAW because in its inherent nature, it does not find fault with and in men, that is, it gives no room for weakness or limitation. Understand that fault in this case, is not necessarily moral failure but rather the lack of faith to explore the “impossible.”

However, in speaking of the Mosaic Law, the Bible says, “For if that first covenant had been FAULTLESS, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah”(Hebrews 8:7-8).

This law of liberty is founded on grace because it does not see you at fault; it does not behold inability in you. The Spirit of grace beholds the ability of God in men and never the ability of men in themselves.

This law opens you to the possibilities of whatsoever you ask (John 14:13); the possibilities of you can do all things (Philippians 4:13); the possibilities of all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21).

Persevere in looking into it, continuously behold the strength of God in you; never look at yourself as lacking in sufficiency to do anything; live by the testimony that you are not just a conqueror but more than a conqueror. Hallelujah! (Romans 8:37).

With this freedom of the Spirit, I do great exploits for the kingdom; to the glory of your Holy Name. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Instructed Giver

Apostle Grace Lubega

Philippians 4:12 (KJV); I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

It is important that when it comes to giving to the things of God, you do so as one who is instructed by God. Paul in our theme scripture reveals that in all things he is instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, to abound and to suffer need.

There are people who have given! They have practically emptied themselves at the hands of manipulative ministers of the gospel all for nothing.

As a result, they have this sense of frustration regarding giving to the work of God.

But here is a principle many neglect: giving ought to be instructed by God and Spirit led.

It is not the outside display of generosity that may provoke people to say, “Oh, she is very kind and loves God.” Never confuse this for divine instruction.

When you are not instructed in your giving you will end up planting in places where you should never have planted because not all ground is good ground.
Child of God, you cannot fail in the seed principle and expect success in the fruit principle.

A lack of understanding of these principles (seed and fruit) will give you thorns in the place of grapes and thistles in the place of figs (Matthew 7:16).

This means that you may never see the results of your giving, leading you to constantly question why you see lack where there should be increase and depreciation where there should be multiplication.

Purpose to live a life of the INSTRUCTED giver.

The Wisdom Of The Ant

 Apostle Grace Lubega

Proverbs 6:6-8 (KJV); Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

In the scriptures, we are asked to consider the wisdom of the ant because the way it operates ensures that it never runs out.

What is this wisdom of the ant?

From our theme scripture, we understand that the ant PROVIDES TO GATHER as opposed to GATHERING TO PROVIDE: it provides meat in the summer and gathers food in the harvest.

From this analogy, God is pointing you to the operations of FAITH as a principle of divine providence.

Gathering to provide is when one waits to receive from God and only gives out of what he has received.

Providing to gather is the wisdom of the man who even having not received, gives of what he has not seen because he knows he already has it by FAITH.
He doesn’t wait to first gather before he provides, he firstly provides then he gathers.

It is in the law for you to give out of the fruit of your increase but it is faith to give even before you see the manifestation of your increase.
Live with the understanding that you have received all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
Learn to give to the work of the kingdom in faith because that is the wisdom to provide before you gather.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your wonderful Word. I receive this principle of divine providence and walk diligently to its dictates. Faith defines my giving; I provide to gather, and not gather to provide. As I exercise myself in this wisdom, multiplication comes to my finances and every other area of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Understanding Wealth God’s Way

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 22: 20-21(KJV); And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

As a Christian, you ought to give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser. However, if you are to give to Ceaser, you must understand that Ceaser is NOT your source.

Firstly, all things are yours, including what Ceaser has (1 Corinthians 3:21-22).

To give to Ceaser, Christ sent Peter to the mouth of a fish (Matthew 17:27). He gave to Ceaser from an entirely different economy.

People who “steal from Ceaser” do so because they have not understood this principle.

It is YOU WHO BLESSES the nation, the nation does not bless you. That is why our mandate as children of God, is to lend to nations (Deuteronomy 15:6). You cannot lend to what you consider as your source.

This wisdom and grace was at work in Joseph, the Patriach’s life.

In Genesis 41:35-36, when he interpreted the dream of Pharoah, he said, “And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and lay up grain under the direction and authority of Pharaoh, and let them retain food [in fortified granaries] in the cities. And that food shall be put in store for the country against the seven years of hunger and famine that are to come upon the land of Egypt, SO THAT THE LAND MAY NOT BE RUINED AND CUT OFF BY THE FAMINE.”

It was the result of Joseph’s wisdom that the entire land of Egypt did not perish. Imagine it! The survival of an entire nation was dependent on the wisdom of one man!

As a child of God, this grace is at work in you. It does not only give you that which is enough for yourself, it enables you to sustain entire nations.

Choose to walk in the consciousness of one who knows that the government or the job is not your primary source.

Live life firstly from the perspective of abundance and the fact that your supply is heaven’s limitless economy. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Deuteronomy 15:6, 1 Corinthians 3:21-22

GOLDEN NUGGET:

If a Christian is to give to Ceaser, he or she must understand that Ceaser is not his or her source.

PRAYER: My father, what a truth! What a blessing to live by the economy of heaven. What a liberty to walk in its limitless supply. Today, I walk in this knowledge because I understand the mandate of divine providence which is for the good of all mankind. I am not wealthy for myself, I am wealthy for the sake of the orphans, the widows and the disadvantaged whom I must bless because it is your heart for me to do so. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Audacity Of The Circumcised

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Samuel 17:25-26(KJV); And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? Surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel. And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

The scriptures give us an account of how Goliath had spent days mocking Israel.

He had continuously and boldly declared, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.”(1 Samuel 17:10).

As a result of his continuous taunts, Saul and the whole of Israel were literally “shaking in their boots”(1 Samuel 17:11).

Here, Goliath is an example of men in this world who have challenged children of the covenant and demanded that they prove themselves.

I have heard men say, “If you are Born Again, I dare you to do this and we will see who has more power.”

Beloved child of God, you are not supposed to be shaken in the face of such men like Israel did. No!

You must have the boldness of David. He called Goliath an “uncircumcised Philistine” and went out to fight him with the boldness of the “CIRCUMCISED.”

The uncircumcised here referred to one who did not have a covenant with God while the circumcised had a covenant with God (Genesis 17:11-13).

One day, witches and wizards all over the world decided to hold their first international conference in Benin. The chief host boldly said, “Not even God can stop it. We know the power we carry.”

When Archbishop Benson Idahosa heard this, he said, “‘Yes he is correct…That is why I am here, God does not need to waste his time considering matters as trivial as stopping the conference of witches’.

As a result of the Archbishop’s audacity, the conference was cancelled!

Such boldness!

Like David, you should be able to boldy say, “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.”(1 Samuel 17:45).

When they try to unleash fire, unleash hotter fire. If they try to demonstrate power, like Elijah, lock any door of access that allows them to call down fire.

Have the boldness of the CIRCUMCISED. Hallelujah!
