That Fruit May Abound To Your Account

That Fruit May Abound To Your Account

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Kings 17:12-15(KJV); And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

Our theme scripture has been used by some ministers of the gospel to “milk” some of their congregants of all their finances, leaving them bereft, frustrated and sometimes bitter.

What some ignore is the fact that Elijah had the anointing to multiply the little that the widow had.

The Bible says that after giving Elijah all that she had, her and her house ate for many days because the barrel of meal did not waste and the cruse of oil did not fail.

This is what Paul calls causing fruit to abound to your account.

In Philippians 4:17 (AMP) he says, “Not that I seek or am eager for [your gift], but I do seek and am eager for the fruit which increases to your credit [the harvest of blessing that is accumulating to your account].

This grace that causes fruit to abound to the account of others comes because the minister of the gospel also practices the principles of divine providence; he gives his tithe and first fruit, he gives to the cause of the gospel and his heart is open to the needs of others.

When a man of God practices these principles, he does not have to manipulate to be given. His source is God whom he serves faithfully. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Philippians 4:17, Matthew 10:8

GOLDEN NUGGET

The grace that causes fruit to abound to the account of others comes because the minister of the gospel also practices the principles of divine providence; he gives his tithe and first fruit, he gives to the cause of the gospel and his heart is open to the needs of others.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this Word. Thank you because I give in wisdom. Blessing follows me because I understand the hows of divine providence. By this, I profit the kingdom to the glory of your name. Amen.

The Rule Of The Mantle

The Rule Of The Mantle
[restabs alignment=”osc-tabs-left” responsive=”false” tabcolor=”#81d742″ seltabcolor=”#eeee22″] [restab title=”English” active=”active”]

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Kings 19:19-20(KJV); So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?

When Elijah cast his mantle on Elisha, he elevated him to a certain place in the spirit.

The mantle was not just a piece of cloth.

There were seven thousand other prophets hid by God. But Elijah was unique and on him was a special mantle.

Prophets in the Old Testament were not known to perform miracles; they were primarily seers.

However, Elijah (and Elisha his successor) demonstrated power; raising the dead, calling fire from heaven, stopping the rain, making axes to float and healing bitter waters.

God deliberately places them in the book of Kings because they functioned in a kingly and prophetic anointing.

After the impartation, Elisha could not be an ordinary prophet like the rest of his day.

The rule of the mantle was “follow me.” But notice that even after he cast this mantle, he moved on like nothing had happened because he needed to test the spirit of Elisha to know if he understood what had been cast upon him.

Later, Elijah refused Elisha to follow him three times! If Elisha had not understood the rule of the mantle, he would have gone back home sulking over having been rejected. But he pressed on and on.

Many people do not take the gospel seriously because they do not know what was cast on them.

An example is the person who refuses to come to church because they were denied an opportunity to lead worship or the man who ceases to pray simply because he was rebuked and chastised. You do not know what was cast upon you!

Deeper than this however, this mantle causes you to imitate your spiritual authority.

What makes Elijah the chariot of Israel? He was a man of prayer who truly knew the God before whom he stood.

If you must follow in his pattern, “Elisha,” you cannot afford to pray when you want, fast when you want, or study the Word when you want.

FURTHER STUDY:1 Corinthians 11:1, Hebrews 13:7

GOLDEN NUGGET

The rule of the mantle dictates that you imitate your spiritual authority. What makes Elijah the chariot of Israel? He was a man of prayer who truly knew the God before whom he stood. “Elisha”, if you must follow in his patterns, you cannot afford to pray when you want, fast when you want, or study the Word when you want.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your Word. I understand the rule of the mantle and the imitations of the Spirit that follow it. I take the gospel seriously and serve with all diligence and zeal. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LA RÈGLE DU MANTEAU

1 Rois 19:19-20(KJV) Elie partit de là, et il trouva Elisée, fils de Schaphath, qui labourait. Il y avait devant lui douze paires de bœufs, et il était avec la douzième. Elie s’approcha de lui, et il jeta sur lui son manteau. Elisée, quittant ses bœufs, courut après Elie, et dit : Laisse-moi embrasser mon père et ma mère, et je te suivrai. Elie lui répondit : Va, et reviens ; car pense à ce que je t’ai fait.

Quand Elie jeta son manteau sur Elisée, il l’éleva à un certain endroit dans l’esprit.

Le manteau n’était pas juste un morceau de tissu.

Il y avait sept mille autres prophètes cachés par Dieu. Mais Elie était unique et sur lui était un manteau spécial.

Les prophètes de l’Ancien Testament n’étaient pas connus pour faire des miracles ; ils étaient principalement voyants.

Cependant, Elie (et Elisée son successeur) a démontré son pouvoir; ressuscitant les morts, appelant le feu du ciel, arrêtant la pluie, faisant flotter des haches et guérissant les eaux amères.

Dieu les place délibérément dans le livre des Rois parce qu’ils ont fonctionné dans une onction royale et prophétique.

Après l’impartition, Elisée ne pouvait pas être un prophète ordinaire comme le reste de son temps.

La règle du manteau était « suis-moi ». Mais remarquez que même après avoir jeté ce manteau, il continua comme si rien ne s’était passé parce qu’il avait besoin de tester l’esprit d’Élisée pour savoir s’il comprenait ce qui lui avait été jeté.

Plus tard, Elie a refusé à Elisée de le suivre trois fois ! Si Élisée n’avait pas compris la règle du manteau, il serait retourné chez lui en boudant d’avoir été rejeté. Mais il a continué encore et encore.

Beaucoup de gens ne prennent pas l’évangile au sérieux parce qu’ils ne savent pas ce qui a été jeté sur eux.

Un exemple est la personne qui refuse de venir à l’église parce qu’on lui a refusé une occasion de diriger le culte ou l’homme qui cesse de prier simplement parce qu’il a été réprimandé et châtié. Vous ne savez pas ce qui vous a été jeté !

Plus profond que cela cependant, ce manteau vous fait imiter votre autorité spirituelle.

Qu’est-ce qui fait d’Elie le char d’Israël ? Il était un homme de prière qui connaissait vraiment le Dieu devant lequel il se tenait.

Si vous devez suivre son modèle, « Elisée », vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre de prier quand vous voulez, jeûnez quand vous voulez, ou étudiez la Parole quand vous voulez.

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : 1 Corinthiens 11:1, Hébreux 13:7

PÉPITE D’OR : Ce manteau vous fait imiter votre autorité spirituelle. Qu’est-ce qui fait d’Elie le char d’Israël ? Il était un homme de prière qui connaissait vraiment le Dieu devant lequel il se tenait. « Elisée », si vous devez suivre son modèle, vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre de prier quand vous voulez, jeûnez quand vous voulez, ou étudiez la Parole quand vous voulez.

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour ta Parole. Je comprends la règle du manteau et les imitations de l’Esprit qui la suivent. Je prends l’évangile au sérieux et je sers avec diligence et zèle. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

The True Light

The True Light

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 1:9 (KJV); That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Jesus Christ is described by the scriptures as the true light.

When the Bible speaks of true light, it by implication means that there is a false light.

The Greek Word used for true in our theme scripture is “alethinos”, meaning, “that which has not only the name and resemblance but the real nature corresponding to the name, in every aspect corresponding to the idea signified by the name…”

In the world of spirits, light has a nature. This nature is the real essence of what makes light what it is.

The nature and radiance of true light is God because the scriptures say, “God is light.”

False light therefore is that which has a form of godliness (2 Timothy 3:5), but is without the power that should come with true light.

It seeks to be like God but it is not God.

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 11:4, 2 Corinthians 4:6

GOLDEN NUGGET

In the world of spirits, light has a nature. This nature is the real essence of what makes light what it is. The nature and radiance of true light is God.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this wisdom, I understand the true light and can never be deceived. This true light is my nature and by it, I light the world with the knowledge of who you are. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Appearance Of Things

Apostle Grace Lubega

Songs of Solomon 2:12(KJV); The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

In our theme scripture, the Bible speaks of flowers appearing on the earth; it does not speak of flowers being planted and then they grow.

The use of this language is deliberate because in the mind of God, everything you see around you simply appeared: it was existent in a different realm before it was made visible in the physical realm.

In Hebrews 11:3, it says; Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

What this means is that the Word makes things appear.

As long as the earth remains, there shall be seed time (the Word) and harvest (Genesis 8:22).

You must know which Word to sow for anything that ought to appear.

If you want a big ministry, you must know which Word to sow to get a big ministry, if you want deliverance, you must know which Word to sow for deliverance.

You are a total sum of the words that you have sowed in your life.

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 11:3, Luke 8:11

GOLDEN NUGGET

You are a total sum of the words that you have sowed in your life.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this Word. I understand the principle of seed time and harvest. I know which word to plant in any given season. I am continuously causing things to appear because I am acquainted and learned in the operations of the creative abilities of the Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Making Venison

Making Venison
[restabs alignment=”osc-tabs-left” responsive=”false” tabcolor=”#81d742″ seltabcolor=”#eeee22″] [restab title=”English” active=”active”]

Apostle Grace Lubega

Genesis 25:28 (KJV); And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Isaac loved Esau for the sole reason that he knew how to cook venison in the way that his father liked it.

This is a unique aspect of Esau’s life that is instructive to us as believers on how to succeed in life.

Success awaits the man who knows how to “make venison.”

“Making venison” requires that you understand the preferences of those who have authority over you, whether at the work place, in the gospel or any other station where you serve.

If your boss is a hard man, study him, understand how he prefers his “venison.” If he wants his work at a specific time, endeavour to always work within his deadlines.

If your spiritual authority has a certain way in which he handles issues pertaining to the ministry, understand it and endeavour to work according to his mind-set.

When you learn how to make venison, you position yourself for blessing and promotion.

It will only be a matter of time before you are noticed for the principled and hard worker that you are. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Peter 2:18, Titus 2:9

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Success awaits the man who knows how to “make venison.”“Making venison” requires that you understand the preferences of those who have authority over you, whether at the work place, in the gospel or any other station where you serve.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this instruction on the patterns of success. I know how to cook venison, I understand how to serve in all humility and diligence. I am a hard worker in all that I do even as your grace labours in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

CUISINER DU GIBIER

Genèse 25:28 (KJV) Isaac aimait Esaü, parce qu’il mangeait du gibier ; et Rebecca aimait Jacob.

Isaac aimait Esaü pour la seule raison qu’il savait préparer le gibier comme son père l’aimait.

C’est un aspect unique de la vie d’Esaü qui nous instruit en tant que croyants sur la façon de réussir dans la vie.

Le succès attend l’homme qui sait « préparer du gibier ».

« Préparer du gibier » exige que vous compreniez les préférences de ceux qui ont autorité sur vous, que ce soit sur le lieu de travail, dans l’évangile ou dans toute autre station où vous servez.

Si votre patron est un homme dur, étudiez-le, comprenez comment il préfère son « gibier ». S’il veut son travail à un moment précis, essayez de toujours travailler dans les délais impartis.

Si votre autorité spirituelle a une certaine manière de traiter les questions relatives au ministère, comprenez-le et efforcez-vous de travailler selon son état d’esprit.

Quand vous apprenez à faire de gibier, vous vous positionnez pour la bénédiction et la promotion.

Ce ne sera qu’une question de temps avant que vous soyez remarqué pour le travailleur de principe et dur que vous êtes. Alléluia !

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : 1 Pierre 2:18, Tites 2:9

PÉPITE D’OR : Le succès attend l’homme qui sait « préparer du gibier ». « Préparer du gibier » exige que vous compreniez les préférences de ceux qui ont autorité sur vous, que ce soit sur le lieu de travail, dans l’évangile ou dans toute autre station où vous servez.

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour cette instruction sur les modèles de succès. Je sais cuisiner le gibier, je comprends comment servir en toute humilité et diligence. Je suis un travailleur acharné dans tout ce que je fais, même si ta grâce travaille en moi. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Why We Preach The Grace: The Work Of Your Hands

Why We Preach The Grace: The Work Of Your Hands
[restabs alignment=”osc-tabs-left” responsive=”false” tabcolor=”#81d742″ seltabcolor=”#eeee22″] [restab title=”English” active=”active”]

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 15:2 (KJV); Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Success has principles to it and regardless of whether a man understands the grace of God or not, he cannot disregard them.

Our theme scripture teaches that God prunes every branch that bears fruit.

It means that God does not tend to men who sit back and do nothing, He deals with and seeks to multiply those that bear fruit so that they may bear more fruit.

As a child of God, you ought to have something you do; be it a career, business or ministry.

Give God the opportunity to bless the works of your hands. If you do nothing with your hands, what do you expect?

The grace of God has given you a head start in every area of your life; it is there to labour through you so you shine.

If you dream to be a multimillionaire, you cannot afford to have a minimum wage ethic. Work and think like a multimillionaire. If you intend to be the world’s greatest preacher, you cannot afford to read your Bible or seek the face of God like an ordinary person. Pray and study the Word like the greatest preacher.

FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 24:30, Proverbs 10:4

GOLDEN NUGGET:

God does not tend to men who sit back and do nothing, He deals with and seeks to multiply those that bear fruit so that they may bear more fruit.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this wisdom, I labour under the grace in the understanding that it has given me great advantage. I bear fruit and great results in business, my career, my studies because of your divine enablement in me. This grace that labours mightily in me has set me apart from many in this world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

POURQUOI NOUS PRECHONS LA GRACE : LE TRAVAIL DE NOS MAINS

Jean 15:2 (KJV) Tout sarment qui est en moi et qui ne porte pas de fruit, il le retranche; et tout sarment qui porte du fruit, il l’émonde, afin qu’il porte encore plus de fruit.

Le succès a des principes et peu importe si un homme comprend ou non la grâce de Dieu, il ne peut pas les ignorer.

Notre écriture enseigne que Dieu élague chaque branche qui porte du fruit.

Cela signifie que Dieu ne s’occupe pas des hommes qui restent assis et ne font rien, Il s’occupe et cherche à multiplier ceux qui portent du fruit afin qu’ils puissent porter plus de fruits.

En tant qu’enfant de Dieu, vous devriez avoir quelque chose que vous faites ; que ce soit une carrière, une entreprise ou un ministère.

Donne à Dieu l’opportunité de bénir les œuvres de tes mains. Si vous ne faites rien avec vos mains, qu’attendez-vous ?

La grâce de Dieu vous a donné une longueur d’avance dans tous les domaines de votre vie ; il est là pour travailler à travers vous afin que vous brillez.

Si vous rêvez d’être multimillionnaire, vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre d’avoir une éthique du salaire minimum. Travailler et penser comme un multimillionnaire. Si vous avez l’intention d’être le plus grand prêcheur du monde, vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre de lire votre Bible ou de chercher le visage de Dieu comme une personne ordinaire. Priez et étudiez la Parole comme le plus grand prêcheur.

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Proverbes 24:30, Proverbes 10:4

PÉPITE D’OR : Dieu ne s’occupe pas des hommes qui restent assis et ne font rien, Il s’occupe et cherche à multiplier ceux qui portent du fruit afin qu’ils puissent porter plus de fruits.

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour cette sagesse, je travaille sous la grâce dans la compréhension qu’elle m’a donné un grand avantage. Je porte des fruits et d’excellents résultats dans les affaires, ma carrière, mes études à cause de ton habileté divine en moi. Cette grâce qui travaille puissamment en moi m’a distingué de beaucoup dans ce monde. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Why We Preach The Grace: Labouring Grace

Why We Preach The Grace: Labouring Grace
[restabs alignment=”osc-tabs-left” responsive=”false” tabcolor=”#81d742″ seltabcolor=”#eeee22″] [restab title=”English” active=”active”]

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 6:1 (KJV); We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

It is possible to receive the grace of God in vain. This happens because of little or no understanding of the scriptures.

In the grace dispensation, there are some that have the misconception that all hard work is legalistic.
That is not so, not all hard work is legal.

Because of this misconception, some don’t want to work at jobs or study hard in schools because they are “under grace.”

Some think that when you receive the grace, you simply sit back and wait for things to fall into place; for a job to find you lazing around in your bed or for miracle money to fall from the sky without the principles of divine providence, because the man of God prophesied wealth concerning your life.

That is what our theme scripture calls receiving the grace in vain.

Don’t assume that you can flout the principles of success and expect everything to come to you on a silver platter simply because you received the grace of God.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:10; But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

People who understand the grace ought to be the hardest workers; the best performers in their workplaces and the most brilliant students, because the grace of God is divine enablement, and labours in you. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 15:10, Proverbs 22:29

GOLDEN NUGGET

The grace of God is divine enablement, and labours in you.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this word. I have not received the grace in vain. It labours mightily in me to do over and above any human expectations. I yield to its working in me and by it, I over deliver, over perform and supercede any set targets whether in my career, business or in school. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Apôtre Grace Lubega

POURQUOI NOUS PRECHONS LA GRACE : LA GRACE DU TRAVAIL

2 Corinthiens 6:1 (KJV) Puisque nous travaillons avec Dieu, nous vous exhortons à ne pas recevoir la grâce de Dieu en vain.

Il est possible de recevoir la grâce de Dieu en vain. Cela arrive à cause de peu ou pas de compréhension des écritures.

Dans la dispensation de la grâce, il y en a qui ont la fausse idée que tout travail acharné est légaliste.
Ce n’est pas le cas, tous les efforts ne sont pas légaux.

En raison de cette idée fausse, certains ne veulent pas travailler ou étudier dur dans les écoles parce qu’ils sont « sous la grâce ».

Certains pensent que lorsque vous recevez la grâce, vous vous asseyez simplement et attendez que les choses tombent en place ; pour un travail de vous trouver paresseux dans votre lit ou pour l’argent miracle de tomber du ciel sans les principes de la providence divine, parce que l’homme de Dieu a prophétisé la richesse concernant votre vie.

C’est ce que notre écriture appelle la réception de la grâce en vain.

Ne présumez pas que vous pouvez bafouer les principes du succès et espérer que tout viendra à vous sur un plateau d’argent simplement parce que vous avez reçu la grâce de Dieu.

Paul a dit dans 1 Corinthiens 15:10 : Mais par la grâce de Dieu je suis ce que je suis ; et sa grâce qui m’a été accordée n’a pas été vaine ; mais je travaillais plus abondamment que tous, et non moi, mais la grâce de Dieu qui était avec moi.

Les gens qui comprennent la grâce devraient être les travailleurs les plus durs ; les meilleurs interprètes dans leurs lieux de travail et les étudiants les plus brillants, parce que la grâce de Dieu est l’habilitation divine, et travaille en vous. Alléluia !

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : 1 Corinthiens 15:10, Proverbes 22:29

PÉPITE D’OR : la grâce de Dieu est l’habilitation divine, et travaille en vous.

PRIERE: Père, je te remercie pour cette parole. Je n’ai pas reçu la grâce en vain. Il travaille puissamment en moi pour faire au-delà de toute attente humaine. Je cède à son travail en moi et par lui, je sur-délivre, sur-performe et surpasser toutes les cibles fixées, que ce soit dans ma carrière, mes affaires ou à l’école. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

The Death of the Flesh

The Death of the Flesh
[restabs alignment=”osc-tabs-left” responsive=”false” tabcolor=”#81d742″ seltabcolor=”#eeee22″] [restab title=”English” active=”active”]

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms 103:15-16 (KJV); As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

 

In our theme scripture, the grass represents man in the flesh, the wind is the Holy Spirit.

In a deeper understanding, this is an experience where the Spirit blows over flesh and the flesh is no more.

In this experience, the Spirit of God kills the flesh and any testimony of it.

When a man has this experience, he like Paul is dead, yet he lives yet not him but Christ lives in him (Galatians 2:20).

He starts to number his days (Psalms 90:12). He ceases to look at life from the perspective of the passage of years on the earth because in essence he is a dead man living.

He defines days by the Spirit and by the milestones that God has set along the course of his destiny.

To such a man, it is not a big deal that he will live up to a hundred.

Rather, what counts is that in the years he lived, he followed every milestone set by God for him to run his course. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Psalms 90:12, 1 Peter 1:24-25

GOLDEN NUGGET:
When a man receives the experience of death, he starts to number his days.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this word. I yield to the work of your Spirit. He kills every testimony of flesh and makes me alive by the Spirit. I walk in this true experience of spiritual death. It is not I who lives but Christ lives in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LA MORT DE LA CHAIR

Psaumes 103:15-16 (KJV) L’homme! ses jours sont comme l’herbe, Il fleurit comme la fleur des champs. 16Lorsqu’un vent passe sur elle, elle n’est plus, Et le lieu qu’elle occupait ne la reconnaît plus.

Dans notre écriture, l’herbe représente l’homme dans la chair, le vent est le Saint-Esprit.

Dans une compréhension plus profonde, c’est une expérience où l’Esprit souffle sur la chair et la chair n’est plus.

Dans cette expérience, l’Esprit de Dieu tue la chair et tout témoignage de celle-ci.

Quand un homme a cette expérience, il pense que Paul est mort, mais il ne vit pas encore mais Christ vit en lui (Galates 2:10).

Il commence à compter ses jours (Psaumes 90:12).
Il cesse de regarder la vie du point de vue du passage des années sur la terre car en essence il est un homme mort vivant.

Il définit les jours par l’Esprit et par les étapes que Dieu a fixé le long de son destin.

Pour un tel homme, ce n’est pas un gros problème qu’il vivra jusqu’à cent ans.

Au contraire, ce qui compte c’est que dans les années qu’il a vécu, il a suivi toutes les étapes établies par Dieu pour qu’il puisse suivre son parcours. Alléluia !

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Psaumes 90:12, 1 Pierre 1:24-25

PÉPITE D’OR : Quand un homme reçoit l’expérience de la mort, il commence à compter ses jours.

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour cette parole. Je cède au travail de ton Esprit. Il tue tout témoignage de chair et me rend vivant par l’Esprit. Je marche dans cette véritable expérience de la mort spirituelle. Ce n’est pas moi qui vis mais Christ vit en moi. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Of Eternal Rewards

Of Eternal Rewards

[restabs alignment=”osc-tabs-left” responsive=”false” tabcolor=”#81d742″ seltabcolor=”#eeee22″] [restab title=”English” active=”active”]

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 25:21(KJV); His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

With regard to eternal destiny, some Christians’ aspiration is as simple as, only getting to heaven.

To them, it is enough for their eternal destiny if they will only be “door keepers” in heaven.

The result of this mind-set is that people invest heavily in their life on the earth and neglect the need to invest in eternity; they sow to the flesh and scarcely to the spirit.

This attitude is of them that are deceived regarding the life in eternity.

While on the earth, we are eternal beings existent in a TIME MATRIX. When we leave the earth, we are still eternal beings but existent in a TIME LESS MATRIX.

Eternity has ranks too. The reward at the end of each man’s race also differs.

When Paul says, “I have finished my course…” (2 Timothy 4:7). The question to you child of God is, what have you started? What is your purpose on the earth? Jesus, at the age of thirty three said he had finished (John 19:30).

At the end of your earthly life, will you also be in position to say ‘I have run my race and i have finished my course?’ or are you simply going through life?

What did these men see about eternal destiny that many of us do not see today?

Eternal life starts on the earth. More importantly, life does not end when you die. That is why it is important to invest in eternity.

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 12:1-2, 2 Timothy 4:7

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Life does not end when you die. That is why it is important to invest in eternity.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this knowledge. My eyes are set on the course and the race that you have set before me. I look to eternal things because they are more real and important than what I can ever experience on the earth. I look to eternal reward and diligently invest in eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

DES RÉCOMPENSES ÉTERNELLES

Matthieu 25:21 (KJV) Son maître lui dit : C’est bien, bon et fidèle serviteur; tu as été fidèle en peu de chose, je te confierai beaucoup ; entre dans la joie de ton maître.

En ce qui concerne le destin éternel, l’aspiration de certains Chrétiens est aussi simple que d’arriver au ciel.

Pour eux, c’est suffisant pour leur destin éternel s’ils ne seront que des « portiers » au ciel.

Le résultat de cette mentalité est que les gens investissent lourdement dans leur vie sur la terre et négligent la nécessité d’investir dans l’éternité ; ils sèment à la chair et à peine à l’esprit.

Cette attitude est d’eux qui sont trompés en ce qui concerne la vie dans l’éternité.

Alors que sur la terre, nous sommes des êtres éternels existant dans une MATRICE TEMPORELLE. Quand nous quittons la terre, nous sommes toujours des êtres éternels mais existant dans un TEMPS MOINS MATRICIEL.

L’éternité a aussi des rangs. La récompense à la fin du parcours de chaque homme diffère également.

Quand Paul dit : « J’ai fini mon parcours… » (2 Timothée 4:7). La question à vous enfant de Dieu est, qu’avez-vous commencé ? Quel est votre but sur la terre ? Jésus, à l’âge de trente-trois ans, a dit qu’il avait fini (Jean 19:30).

À la fin de votre vie terrestre, serez-vous également en mesure de dire « J’ai couru mon parcours et j’ai terminé ma course ? » Ou traversez-vous simplement la vie ?

Qu’est-ce que ces hommes ont vu au sujet du destin éternel que beaucoup d’entre nous ne voient pas aujourd’hui ?

La vie éternelle commence sur la terre. Plus important encore, la vie ne finit pas quand vous mourrez. C’est pourquoi il est important d’investir dans l’éternité.

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Hébreux 12:1-2, 2 Timothée 4:7

PÉPITE D’OR : La vie ne finit pas quand vous mourrez. C’est pourquoi il est important d’investir dans l’éternité.

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour cette connaissance. Mes yeux sont fixés sur le parcours et la course que tu as mis devant moi. Je regarde les choses éternelles parce qu’elles sont plus réelles et importantes que ce que je peux éprouver sur la terre. Je regarde vers la récompense éternelle et investis diligemment dans l’éternité. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Lessons in Virtue – The Marriage Equation

Lessons in Virtue – The Marriage Equation

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ephesians 5:22-25 (KJV); Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

The husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the Church.

The Bible requires that the wife submit herself to her husband even as unto the Lord.

What this means is, the same way that a woman respects the Lord Jesus is the same way she ought to respect her husband; the same way she addresses the Lord Jesus (with utmost honour and humility in acknowledgement of His Lordship over her life) is the same way that she ought to address her husband.

A woman cannot claim humility in prayer and not have a place of humility before her husband.

On the other hand, husbands ought to love their wives like Christ loved the Church.

This means that regardless of what she does, he must be prepared to forgive and cherish her. This love is unconditional.

As a husband, because you love like Christ, what Christ can never do to the church, you can never do to your wife; what Christ does for the church, you ought to do for your wife.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Peter 3:7, Proverbs 31:12

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The same way that a woman respects the Lord Jesus is the same way she ought to respect her husband; the same way she addresses the Lord Jesus (with utmost honour and humility in acknowledgement of His Lordship over her life) is the same way that she ought to address her husband. In the same way, as a husband, because you love like Christ, what Christ can never do the church, you can never do to your wife; what Christ does for the church, you ought to do for your wife.

PRAYER: Thank you Lord for this great knowledge. I submit myself to this wisdom, to look to you as the centre of my marriage and the pattern by which I love and honour my spouse. My marriage is a success, a testimony of blessing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prove Your Own Work

Prove Your Own Work

Apostle Grace Lubega

Galatians 6:4 (AMP); But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with his neighbor.

In this life of the gospel, it is important that you do not seek to “set sail by another man’s star” because when he changes direction, you will lose your light at sea.

That is why the scriptures require every Christian to prove his or her own work.

You are not “deep” because you attend a church where the depth of the scriptures are taught.

You are not free from demonic attack only because of the man of God to whom you submit.

Granted, there are things that spiritual covering protects you from. However, you ought to appreciate that victory in the things of the spirit is based primarily on truly understanding who you are in God.

The ultimate question that defines distinction in the things of the spirit is, “Jesus we know, Paul we know, but who are you?”(Acts 19:15).

You are who you are because of what you did with the message once you heard it.

Examine and scrutinise your own results in this gospel. Prove your work. If you never do so, you might wake up too late to realise that you were only lying to yourself.

On the other hand, our theme scripture reveals that if you do prove your work , you will have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with your neighbour.

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Timothy 2:15, 2 Corinthians 13:5

GOLDEN NUGGET:

In this life of the gospel, it is important that you do not seek to “set sail by another man’s star” because when he changes direction, you will lose your light at sea.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this knowledge and wisdom. I walk in the understanding that personal responsibility is laid upon me by virtue of the message that I have received. I practice the Word, cultivate its truth and principles for results; it effectually works in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Receiving from Ministers of God

Receiving from Ministers of God

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 9:49 (KJV); And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

Our theme scripture reveals that the disciples once stopped a man from casting out devils because he was not a part of their group.

The disciples should have asked themselves the pertinent question: “how did he learn how to cast out demons?”

The fact is that there were times when they themselves failed to cast them out (Matthew 17:14-21), how come this man was doing the very thing that sometimes proved difficult to them?

If he cast out demons in Jesus’ name, it was only because, he had a personal relationship with the master without having to be among the twelve.

Never forget these two things: proximity is not access, genuine hunger is.
Secondly, familiarity with ministers of the gospel breeds contempt.

When you hear the Word, receive it as the instruction of Jehovah God Himself and act on it promptly and with diligence. It will work. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Revelation 3:20, Isaiah 28:26

GOLDEN NUGGET

Never forget these two things: proximity is not access, genuine hunger is. Secondly, familiarity with ministers of the gospel breeds contempt.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this knowledge. I am taught of you. When I receive the Word from the ministers of the gospel, it is as an instruction from your throne and I treat it with all due honour and respect. This understanding grants me access to rivers of revelation and the wellsprings of wisdom. I know how to receive from ministers and how to perfectly imitate their faith. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
