Things that make Ministers: Wisdom

The Mandate Of Discipleship

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 28:19 (NIV) Therefore go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit.

The mandate of discipleship was given to the body of Christ, not only the five-fold ministry.

Discipleship is therefore the responsibility of every Christian believer. And this mandate is to the nations.

We are made disciples in order to make disciples of all nations. This is not about making disciples “in” nations but rather making disciples of all nations.

As a child of God, you have an apostolic authority at work in you that can bring nations to obedience.

What the Lord is doing in your life is not to just make you a wonderful Christian in your nation but to redeem nations. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 60:22, Romans 1:5

GOLDEN NUGGET: We are made disciples in order to make disciples of all nations.

PRAYER: Father I thank you for this understanding. I am called for great things; called for the world and the nations. Even as you teach me and work in me every day, I know that I am impacting nations to the glory of your name. Amen.

Matayo 28:19 Nuko mugende muhindure abantu bo mu mahanga yose abigishwa, mubabatiza mu izina rya Data wa twese n’Umwana n’Umwuka Wera.

Kugira abantu abigishwa byahawe umubiri wa Kristo, nago ari abahawe za mpano eshanu gusa.

Rero kugira abantu abigishwa ni inshingano za buri mu Kristo wese wizera. Kandi uyu murimo ni uw’amahanga yose.

Twagizwe abigishwa kugirango tugire abigishwa mu mahanga yose. Ibi nago ari kugira abigishwa “mu” mahanga ahubwo ni ukugira abigishwa b’amahanga yose.

Nk’umwana w’Imana, ufite ububasha bw’intumwa bukorera muri wowe butera amahanga kubaha.

Icyo Imana iri gukora muri wowe nago ari ukukugira umu Kristo mwiza gusa mu gihugu cyawe ahubwo ni ugucungura amahanga. Hallelujah!

IBINDI BYANDITSWE: Yesaya 60:22, Abaroma 1:15

ICYO WAKURAMO: Tugirwa abigishwa kugirango tugire abigishwa mu mahanga.

Pay The Price Of Knowledge

Apostle Grace Lubega

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV); For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Some Christians think that their problem is the lack of money; the absence of a job; the failure of their marriage or the stagnation of their business.

But in truth, that is not the real problem; their problem is that they lack knowledge.

Because they lack knowledge, they are always asking the pastor to tell them what God is saying; what is fighting them; who has bewitched them etc.

It is good for a man of God to tell you that they see such and such a thing in your life but he may see and fix only one thing yet you have so many other things that God may not have showed him.

But our theme scripture reveals that the Word of God is a discerner of thoughts; it divides soul and spirit, joint and marrow.

There are things the pastor, prophet or apostle may not see but the Word of God sees them because it has eyes. Stick to the Word, pay the price of knowledge. That is where your true freedom lies. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Hosea 4:6, Proverbs 11:9

GOLDEN NUGGET: Stick to the Word, pay the price of knowledge. That is where your true freedom lies.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your Word; that undefinable treasure that is the axis of your integrity. It never fails. It is true. You have exalted your Word above your name and my world is hinged on it. I rejoice over it like he that has found great spoil. I read and study it like my life blood. It dwells in me richly and every thought, meditation, and word I speak is of and in the Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

ISHYURA IGICIRO CY’UBUMENYI

Abaheburayo 4:12 Kuko ijambo ry’Imana ari rizima, rifite imbaraga kandi rikagira ubugi buruta ubw’inkota zose, rigahinguranya ndetse kugeza ubwo rigabanya ubugingo n’umwuka, rikagabanya ingingo n’umusokoro kandi rikabangukira kugenzura ibyo umutima wibwira ukagambirira.

Aba Kristo bamwe batekereza ko ikibazo cyabo ari ukubura amafaranga; kubura akazi; kunanirwa kw’urushako rwabo cg kutagenda kw’ubucuruzi bwabo.

Ariko mu kuri, icyo sicyo kibazo nyacyo; ikibazo cyabo ni uko babura ubumenyi.

Kuko babura ubumenyi, bahora babaza umushumba kubabwira icyo Imana ivuga; ikibarwanya;ninde wabaroze n’ibindi.

Ni byiza ko umukozi w’Imana akubwira ko abona ibintu ibi n’ibi mu buzima bwawe ariko ashobora kubona akanatunganya ikintu kimwe gusa kandi yenda ufite ibindi byinshi Imana itamweretse.

Ariko icyanditswe twifashishije gihishura ko ijambo ry’Imana rirondora ibitekerezo; rigabanya umwuka n’ubugingo, ingingo n’amagupfa.

Ibi nibyo bintu umushumba, umuhanuzi cg intumwa adashobora kubona ariko ijambo ry’Imana ribona kuko rifite amaso. Guma mu ijambo, ishyura igiciro cy’ubumenyi. Aho niho hari kwidegembya. Hallelujah!

IBINDI BYANDITSWE: Hoseya 4:6, Imigani 11:9

ICYO WAKURAMO: Guma mu ijambi, ishyura igiciro cy’ubumenyi. Aho niho hari kwidegembya.

ISENGESHO: Data, ngushimiye ijambo ryawe; ryo butunzi budata agaciro ari naryo rikugira inyanga mugayo. Nti rijya rinanirwa. Ni ukuri. Warishize hejuru y’izina ryawe kandi isi yanjye iryishinyikirijeho. Ndinezererwamo nkubonye ikimwangiza. Ndasoma nkaryiga nkaho ari amaraso yawe. Riri muri njye bikomeye kandi buri gitekerezo n’ijambo mvuga ni mu ijambo. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen

Of The Anointing And The Gift

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 John 2:20 (KJV); But ye have an unction from the Holy One and ye know all things

The anointing of the Holy Spirit and the gift of the Holy Spirit operating on someone’s life are not the same. The anointing executes the gifts of the Holy Spirit. However, He is not subject to only the gift at work in you.

Our theme scripture reveals that a child of God has an unction (anointing) from on high and knows all things.

This means that the Holy Spirit is the spirit of knowledge too. He not only gives you a gift of healing, prophesy etc but He teaches too.

This is the primary ministry of the anointing; to teach you who God is and lead you into the knowledge of Him.

Having a gift of prophesy, healing or demonstration of the Spirit does not mean that you know God intimately. It is possible to have the gift and yet not function in a certain level of the anointing because you are not taught of Him.

Sometimes, the reason why some men can prophesy, heal and demonstrate power but cannot stir the body of Christ to maturity is because they are operating by the gift only and not the fullness of the anointing.

As a child of God, you ought to allow your spirit to be chastised by the Holy Spirit, because when He does, this chastisement builds in you the character of the Spirit that will propel you to the greater things of God. This will distinguish you from a man who only functions by the gift. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: John 14:26, 1 John 2:27

GOLDEN NUGGET: As a child of God, you ought to allow your spirit to be chastised by the Holy Spirit, because when He does, this chastisement builds in you the character of the Spirit that will propel you to the greater things of God.

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for this Word. By this knowledge, I grow and mature in the anointing beyond just the gift at work in me. I yield to the unction that teaches; to the chastening of the Spirit; to His convictions; His urgencies and His instruction. My end is of a man whose character is shaped by God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

KU BW’AMAVUTA N’IMPANO

1 Yohana 2:20 Nyamara mwebweho mwasizwe n’Uwera kandi muzi byose.

Amavuta y’umwuka wera n’impano y’umwuka wera akorera ku buzima bw’umuntu nago ari amwe. Amavuta asohoza impano z’umwuka wera. Gusa, nago akoresha impano zikurimo gusa.

Icyanditswe twifashishije gihishura ko umwana w’Imana afite amavuta ava hejuru kandi azi ibintu byose.

Ibi bivuze ko umwuka wera ari umwuka w’ubwenge na none. Nago aguha impano yo gukiza, guhanura n’izindi gusa ahubwo aranigisha.

Uyu niwo murimo w’amavuta; kukwigisha Imana iyo ariyo no ku kuyobora mu bwenge bwayo.

Kugira impano yo guhanura, gukiza cg kugaragaza umwuka ntibivuze ko uzi Imana by’umwihariko. Birashoboka kugira impano ariko ntukorere mu rwego runaka rw’amavuta kuko utigishijwe nawe(umwuka).

Ibihe bimwe, impamvu abantu bamwe bashobora guhanura, gukiza no kwerekana imbaraga ariko ntibubure umubiri wa Kristo ngo ukure ni uko bakorera mu mpano gusa atari mu mwuzure w’amavuta.

Nk’umwana w’Imana, ukwiye kwemerera umwuka wawe gushyirwa ku murongo n’umwuka wera, kuko iyo bigenze bityo, uku gushyirwa ku murongo ku kubaka mu myitwarire y’umwuka bigatuma uzamuka mu ntera mu Mana. Ibi bizagutandukanya n’umuntu ukorera mu mpano gusa. Hallelujah!

IBINDI BYANDITSWE: Yohana 14:26, 1 Yohana 2:27

ICYO WAKURAMO: Nk’umwana w’Imana, ukwiye kwemerera umwuka wawe gushyirwa ku murongo n’umwuka wera, kuko iyo bigenze bityo, uku gushyirwa ku murongo kurakubaka mu myitwarire y’umwuka bizatume uzamuka mu ntera mu Mana.

ISENGESHO: Data, nshimye iri jambo. Ku bw’ubu bwenge, ndakura mu mavuta birenze impano ikorera muri njye. Ngandukiye amavuta yigisha; gushyirwa ku murongo n’umwuka; kwemezwa nawe; ibyihutirwa bye n’amabwiriza ye. Iherezo ryanjye ni iry’umuntu ufite imyitwarire itunganijwe n’Imana. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen
