Why We Preach The Grace: The Closed Gospel

Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah 61:1-2 (KJV); The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

The Lord Jesus Christ did not come to tell men how angry the Lord God was with them. The mission of the Christ was not to proclaim doom and judgment but the love of God.

In Luke 4, God’s mind is revealed through the actions of the Christ. The Bible says; And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he CLOSED THE BOOK, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.

Our Lord quoted Isaiah word for word but when he reached the part of proclaiming “the day of vengeance of our God”, he closed the book. Deliberately.

God’s wrath is not the message of the New Testament. His love is. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:8, Ephesians 3:18-19

GOLDEN NUGGET:
God’s wrath is not the message of the New Testament. His love is.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for the gospel of your grace. Thank you because it is the testimony of your boundless love and mercy toward me. I fellowship with you in the knowledge that your kindness and love toward me is from everlasting to everlasting. I am not a subject of your vengeance. I am a subject of your mercies that are new every morning. What a joy! What a comfort! What a blessed assurance! Glory to your name. Amen.

Things that make Ministers: Wisdom

Things that make Ministers: Wisdom
  • Apostle Grace Lubega

    Ecclesiastes 10:10 (KJV); If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

    It is possible for a minister of the gospel to destroy both himself and those who listen to him using the scriptures because he is either unstable or he is unlearned.

    The apostle Peter speaks of the Apostle Paul’s epistles and says; there are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures (2 Peter 3:16 AMP).

    The Bible has been used by both unlearned and unstable men to justify almost anything. By this, they have destroyed many. But knowing what the scripture says does not mean that you will automatically apply it like you ought.

    That is why God says wisdom is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7). Some people seek justification for their application of the scriptures only from knowledge, yet the principal application of the scriptures is wisdom (Proverbs 4:7).

    They say, “it is in the Bible.” Yes, it is in the Bible but how did you apply it? It’s not just the knowledge of it, but the wisdom in the knowledge of it.

    Like our theme scripture explains wisdom is profitable to direct. Men lose direction when your application of the scriptures does not reveal or demonstrate wisdom.

    If you have a healing anointing, you must apply it in wisdom. If you are a teacher of the word, you must teach in the wisdom of the Spirit. If you must pray, pray in the wisdom of the Spirit. Hallelujah! яндекс

    FURTHER STUDY: Luke 7:35, Colossians 1:9

    GOLDEN NUGGET:
    If you have a healing anointing, you must apply it in wisdom. If you are a teacher of the Word, you must teach in the wisdom of the Spirit. If you must pray, pray in the wisdom of the Spirit.

    PRAYER: Father, I thank you because I am mantled by the wisdoms of eternity. Christ in me is wisdom and all that I do is a testimony of this. I teach in wisdom. I heal men in wisdom. I prophesy in wisdom. By this, I never bring offence to the gospel and to the ministry. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    GUSOBANUKIRWA IGICIRO CY’UBUTUMWA BWIZA

    Ibyakozwe n’intumwa 15:37-39 Barinaba ashaka kujyana na Yohana witwaga Mariko, ariko Pawulo ntiyashima kumujyana, kuko yabahanye i Pamfiliya ntajyane na bo mu murimo. Nuko bagira intonganya nyinshi bituma batandukana, Barinaba ajyana Mariko atsukiraho, arambuka afata i Kupuro.

    Gutandukana kwa Pawulo na Barinaba kwabaye kubera Yohana witwaga Mariko kuko yatandukanye nabo bari mu murimo.

    Barinaba ajya inama ngo bajyane nawe mu butumwa, Pawulo yarabyanze.

    Pawulo yendaga kutugeza aho dusobanukirwa ko hari abantu bakubitiwe ubu butumwa: babyutswa ku bwabwo; barabwitangiye ariko noneho hari Yohana witwa Mariko, wabyutse rimwe ahitamo kugenda.

    Kugenda bivuze ko ubuzima bwa benshi bwahungabana. Kuko uburemere bw’Impano ikuriho buhwanye n’umubare w’abantu uzaciza ku bw’Imana.

    Abantu basobanukiwe igiciro cy’ubutumwa bwiza ntibabuvamo.

    ICYO WAKURAMO: Abantu basobanukiwe igiciro cy’ubutumwa bwiza ntibabuvamo.

    ISENGESHO: Data, nzi ko hari abantu batanze igiciro gikomeye ku bw’ubu butumwa. Babuze imiryango;baratwitswe; babayeho nk’abantu batabereye isi kubera ubutumwa. No mu kwitanga kwabo, bashyizeho imfatiro n’uburyo dukora kugira ngo nanjye nkurikire. Nsobanukiwe igitambo cy’ubu butumwa. Nkuko washize umutwaro ku mutima wa pawulo, uwo mutwaro wanjeho untera gukora ibintu bamwe bita ubupfapfa ariko ijuru rikabyita igiciro dukwiye gutanga ku bw’ubugingo bw’abantu.

    OKUTEGERA OMUTAANGO GW’ENJIRI

    Ebikolwa By’Abatume 15:37-39 Balunabba era n’ayagala okutwala Yokaana erinya lye ery’okubiri Makko: naye Pawulo teyasiima kumutwala oyo eyabaleka mu Panfuliya n’atagenda nabo ku mulimu. Ne wabaawo empaka nnyingi n’okwawukana ne baawukana, Balunabba n’atwala Makko n’awanika amatanga okugenda e Kupulo;

    Obutakaanya wakati wa Pawulo ne Balunaaba bwava ku Yokaana Makko okubavaako nga bali ku mulimu gw’enjiri.

    Balunaaba bwe yasaba bagende naye mu lugendo ly’enjiri olwali ludako,Pawulo yagaana.

    Pawulo yali agezaako okututegeza nti waliwo abantu abakkubibwa olw’enjiri eno; abatulugunyizibwa ku lwaayo; bawaayo era ne bewaayo ku lwaayo naye wano Yokaana Makko yakera kunkya nasalawo okubaleka.

    Ndabye bangi abafanana Yokaana Makko mu njiri. Bano be bantu abasalawo nti tebagenda kweyongerayo ku lugendo lwabwe kulw’ensonga emu oba endala era ne bamala gagyivaamu nebeeyongerayo n’ebirala.

    Naye omuntu bwaba ayagala Katonda mu mazima, ajja kwagala okumaliriza olugendo lwe. Omuntu bwaba tamanyi muwendo gwa njiri,kimuberera kyangu okulya olukwe mu buweereza, era bwalya olukwe mu buwereeza,ab’alidde olukwe mu Katonda.

    Okutambula n’obivaamu kitegeza nti enkumi za bantu zisobola okukkosebwa, Kubanga eddala ly’ekirabo ekiri ku bulamu bwo kyenkanankana n’obungi bwa bantu bogenda okulokola okuda eri Katonda.

    Abantu abategedde omuwendo gw’enjiri tebasobola kutambula ne bagyivako

    WEKENEENYE: 2 Abakkolinso 12:15, 2 Abakkolinso 6:3-5

    EKINYUSI: Abantu abategedde omuwendo gw’enjiri tebasobola kutambula ne bagyivako

    OKUSABA: Kitange, nkimanyi nti waliwo abasajja abasasudde omuwendo omunene olw’enjiri eno. Baafirwa amaka gabwe,bayokkebwa; baliwo mu nsi naye ensi yali tebaggwanira olw’enjiri. Ne mu saddaka zabwe, bassawo obubonero obw’omukululo era bateekawo emitendera gye nsobola okugoberera. Ntegera omuwendo gw’enjiri. Ng’obwetaavu bwe wateekka ku mutima gwa Pawulo, Omuguggu ogwo gunyambadde era gundetera okola ebintu abamu bye bayita obusirusiru naye ng’obutaggwaawo bubisoma ng’omuwendo gwe tulina okusasula olw’emyoyo. Nkwebaza kubanga ompadde ekisa okuggumira ebintu byonna bye mpitamu kulw’obwaKabaka.Mu linnya lya Yesu. Amiina.

  • CHOSES QUI FONT DES MINISTRES : LA SAGESSE

    Ecclésiastes 10:10 (KJV) S’il a émoussé le fer, et s’il n’en a pas aiguisé le tranchant, il devra redoubler de force; mais la sagesse a l’avantage du succès.

    Il est possible pour un ministre de l’évangile de détruire lui-même et ceux qui l’écoutent en utilisant les écritures parce qu’il est soit instable soit il est ignorant.

    L’apôtre Pierre parle des épîtres de l’apôtre Paul et dit : « Il y a des choses dans ces [épîtres de Paul] qui sont difficiles à comprendre, que la tournure ignorante et instable et mal interprété à leur propre destruction, tout comme [ils déforment et interprètent mal] le reste des écritures (2 Pierre 3:16 AMP).

    La Bible a été utilisée par des hommes ignorants et instables pour justifier presque tout. Par ceci, ils en ont détruit beaucoup. Mais savoir ce que dit l’écriture ne signifie pas que vous l’appliquerez automatiquement comme vous le devriez.

    C’est pourquoi Dieu dit que la sagesse est la chose principale (Proverbes 4:7). Certaines personnes recherchent la justification de leur application des écritures uniquement à partir de la connaissance, mais l’application principale des écritures est la sagesse (Proverbes 4:7).

    Ils disent : « C’est dans la Bible. » Oui, c’est dans la Bible mais comment l’avez-vous appliqué? Ce n’est pas seulement la connaissance, mais la sagesse à sa connaissance.

    Comme notre écriture explique que la sagesse est profitable à diriger. Les hommes perdent la direction lorsque votre application des écritures ne révèle pas ou ne fait pas preuve de sagesse.

    Si vous avez une onction de guérison, vous devez l’appliquer avec sagesse. Si vous êtes enseignant du mot, vous devez enseigner dans la sagesse de l’Esprit. Si vous devez prier, priez dans la sagesse de l’Esprit. Alléluia !

    ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : Luc 7:35, Colossiens 1:9

    PEPITE D’OR : Si vous avez une onction de guérison, vous devez l’appliquer avec sagesse. Si vous êtes enseignant du mot, vous devez enseigner dans la sagesse de l’Esprit. Si vous devez prier, priez dans la sagesse de l’Esprit.

    PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie parce que je suis habillé par les sagesses de l’éternité. Le Christ en moi est la sagesse et tout ce que je fais c’est un témoignage de ceci. J’enseigne avec sagesse. Je guéris les hommes en sagesse. Je prophétise avec sagesse. Par ce fait, je n’offense jamais l’évangile et le ministère. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Understanding The Price of The Gospel

Apostle Grace Lubega

Acts 15:37-39 (KJV) And Barnabas determined to take with them John whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia and went not with them to the work. And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other and so Barnabas took Mark and sailed unto Cyprus.

The contention between Paul and Barnabas arose because of John Mark who while they were on the mission field deserted them.

When Barnabas suggested that they take him with them on a subsequent mission, Paul was adamant.

Paul was trying to get us to understand that there are people who had been beaten for this gospel; reviled for it; they had spent and been spent for it yet here was John Mark, who woke up one morning and decided to leave.

I have seen many “John Marks” in this gospel. These are people who suddenly decide that they cannot continue with their course for one reason or the other and simply walk away.

But when a man truly loves God, he will seek to finish his course. When a man does not know the price of the gospel, he can easily betray the ministry and in betraying the ministry, he betrays God.

Walking away means that thousands of lives can be affected. Because the degree of the gift upon your life equals to the number of people you are going to save by God.

Men who understand the cost of the gospel can never walk away from it.

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 12:15, 2 Corinthians 6:3-5

GOLDEN NUGGET: Men who understand the cost of the gospel can never walk away from it.

PRAYER: Father, I know that there are men who have paid a heavy price for this gospel. They lost family; they were burnt at stakes; they lived as men of whom the world was not worthy for the sake of the gospel. Even in their sacrifice, they laid ancient land marks and left a pattern for me to follow. I understand the price of this gospel. Like the necessity you placed on Paul’s heart, that burden has mantled me and causes me to do things some call foolishness but eternity reads them as the price we must pay for souls. I thank you because you have availed the grace for me to endure through all things for the sake of the kingdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Mandate Of Discipleship

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

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.

Pay The Price Of Knowledge

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

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

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.

Of The Anointing And The Gift

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

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.

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).

Why we Preach the Grace: The Responsibility

Why we Preach the Grace: The Responsibility

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ecclesiastes 9:11 (KJV): I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

Our theme scripture teaches that even if a man seems disadvantaged, the grace of God grants him an opportunity to succeed.  In other words, even if he seems slow, he can win a race; even if he seems weak, he can win a battle; even if he seems lacking in skill, favour can still follow him. 

However, this portion of scripture does not mean that God intends for the man to remain slow or weak. It only means that there is grace to make anyone less advantaged to achieve certain things in life by the influence of the quickening of the Spirit. 

In this regard, the grace of God does not mean that He expects you to remain weak, slow and unskillful in order for His strength to always be made perfect through you.

God is not distributing His strength for you to continue in your weakness. 

Indeed there is a point where even in your weakness, His strength is made known (2 Corinthians 12:9). But the purpose of the work of God in you is so that those weaknesses cease and you grow in the stature and image of the Christ. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 6:1, 1 Corinthians 15:10

GOLDEN NUGGET:
The grace of God does not mean that He expects you to remain weak, slow and unskillful in order for His strength to always be made perfect through you.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your grace, that divine enablement that labours in me abundantly. I have not received it in vain and never is it an excuse for weakness or mediocrity. In this understanding, I soar higher in life, in ministry, at my work place and in all that I do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Love Commandment

The Love Commandment

  • Apostle Grace Lubega

    1 John 4:20 (KJV) If a man say I love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

    The Christian life is a love relationship between a man and God. Unfortunately many people are hungry for what God can give them and not for who He is.

    As such, they are detached from the need of heaven which is the souls of men.

    Many serve, not because they love God but because they require a particular reward from Him. But that is not what this faith is about. It is all about love.

    Like our theme scripture teaches, a man cannot claim to love God and hate a brother.
    When a man has not loved God enough, he will not love men enough.

    If you want to see the love that a man has for men, see his love for God. You cannot truly love men until you love God.

    If everything you do in this world is not for the love of men, it means that you do not really love God. When you love God, you love men.

    FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:8, 1 Corinthians 13

    GOLDEN NUGGET:
    You cannot truly love men until you love God.

     

    PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for your Word. Your love to me dictates all my actions. It flows through me and everything that I do and causes me to love people; to believe in them; to never judge but always seek to protect, cover and defend them. I am the testimony to many that you love them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    ITEGEKO RYO GUKUNDANA

    1 Yohana 4:20 Umuntu navuga ati”Nkunda Imana” akanga mwene Se aba ari umunyabinyoma, kuko udakunda mwene Se yabonye atabasha gukunda Imana atabonye.

    Ubuzima bw’umu Kristo ni ubuzima bwo gukundana hagati y’umuntu n’Imana. Gusa abantu benshi basonzeye ibyo Imana yabaha kurusha iyo ariyo.

    Bityo, ntibahura n’ubushake bw’ijuru aribwo bugingo bw’abantu.

    Benshi bakorera Imana, atari uko bakunda Imana ahubwo kuko bashaka igihembo runaka kiyivaho. Ariko uko siko kwizera twizeye. Ni urukundo.

    Nk’uko icyanditswe twifashishije kibyigisha, umuntu ntiyavuga ko akunda Imana ngo yange mwene se. Iyo umuntu adakunda Imana bihagije, nago azakunda abantu bihagije.

    Niba ushaka kubona urukundo umuntu afitiye abantu, reba uko akunda Imana. Nago wakunda abantu keretse ukunze Imana.

    Niba ibyo ukora muri iyi si atari ugukunda abantu, bivuze ko udakunda Imana koko. Iyo ukunda Imana, ukunda abantu.

    IBINDI BYANDITSWE: 1 Yohana 4:8, 1 Abakorinto 13

    ICYO WAKURAMO: Nago wakunda abantu keretse ukunze Imana.

    ISENGESHO: Data, nshimye ijambo ryawe. Urukundo rwawe kuri njye rutegeka ibikorwa byanjye. Rutemba muri njye kandi no mu byo nkora byose bigatuma nkunda abantu; kubizera; kutabacira urubanza no gushaka kubarinda, kubatwikira no kubarengera. Benshi bazi ko ubakunda kubera ubuhamya bwanjye. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen.

    LE COMMANDEMENT DE L’AMOUR

    1 Jean 4:20 (KJV) Si quelqu’un dit: J’aime Dieu, et qu’il haïsse son frère, c’est un menteur; car celui qui n’aime pas son frère qu’il voit, comment peut-il aimer Dieu qu’il ne voit pas?

    La vie chrétienne est une relation d’amour entre un homme et Dieu. Malheureusement, beaucoup de gens ont faim pour ce que Dieu peut leur donner et non pour ce qu’Il est.

    En tant que tels, ils sont détachés du besoin du ciel qui est l’âme des hommes.

    Beaucoup servent, non pas parce qu’ils aiment Dieu mais parce qu’ils ont besoin d’une récompense particulière de Sa part. Mais ce n’est pas de cette foi. Il s’agit d’amour.

    Comme enseigne notre écriture, un homme ne peut prétendre aimer Dieu et détester un frère.
    Quand un homme n’a pas assez aimé Dieu, il n’aimera pas assez les hommes.

    Si vous voulez voir l’amour qu’un homme a pour les hommes, regardez son amour pour Dieu. Vous ne pouvez vraiment pas aimer les hommes avant d’aimer Dieu.

    Si tout ce que vous faites dans ce monde n’est pas pour l’amour des hommes, cela signifie que vous n’aimez vraiment pas Dieu. Quand vous aimez Dieu, vous aimez les hommes.

    ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : 1 Jean 4:8, 1 Corinthiens 13

    PEPITE D’OR : Vous ne pouvez vraiment pas aimer les hommes avant d’aimer Dieu.

    PRIERE : Père, je suis reconnaissant pour ta Parole. Ton amour pour moi dicte toutes mes actions. Il coule à travers moi et tout ce que je fais et me fait aimer les gens ; croire en eux ; de ne jamais juger mais toujours chercher à les protéger, les couvrir et les défendre. Je suis le témoignage que vous les aimez. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Things That Make Ministers: Each Joint Supplies

Things That Make Ministers: Each Joint Supplies

Ephesians 4:16(KJV), From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

The Church of Christ can only increase and grow like it ought to when every joint understands its part and starts to supply like it ought to.

But in this day, we have a prophet who does not see; an apostle who is ushering and has no idea he is an apostle; a teacher who is a worshipper, because worship was the simpler thing to do than teaching; and a pastor who just comes to attend service and everything else is none of his business.

What makes the Church ineffective in the spirit realm is that what men call serving God are the easily doable functions they pursue outside their individual callings.

It is not wrong to usher but if you are a prophet, usher while prophesying. It is a good thing to be a cleaner in the church but even so, be a cleaner who is also a mighty demonstrator of the Spirit. Praise God!

FURTHER STUDY: Acts 6:5,8; Colossians 1:10

GOLDEN NUGGET:
The Church of Christ can only increase and grow like it ought to when every joint understands its part and starts to supply like it ought to.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this Word. I stand in the perfect will of God pertaining to my ministry and service in the kingdom. I know my gifts, calling, assignment and mandate. I serve in this understanding and as such greatly profit the body of Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God our Satisfaction

God our Satisfaction
  • Apostle Grace Lubega

    Deuteronomy 32:15 (KJV) But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

    Jeshurun “waxed fat” and forsook the God which made him. In other words, he became successful and forgot the God that had blessed him.

    Jeshurun was a soulish man. Men that function in the soulish realm are very easy to satisfy.
    A car, wife, new house or new job is enough to satisfy them. Such a one can easily forsake God after he has got a car, a wife, house or a new job.

    But as a New Testament creature, understand that you cannot “wax fat” and forsake God because the spirit of a new man can sustain any blessing.

    Your excitement as a New Creature in Christ is in the advancement of the spiritual things.

    You should never be too rich to pray; too successful to come to church; too beautiful to preach the gospel. Praise God!

    FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 6:9, 2 Corinthians 12:15

    GOLDEN NUGGET:
    As a New Testament creature, you cannot “wax fat” and forsake God because the spirit of a new man can sustain any blessing.

    PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your Word. The gospel of the kingdom is my life and the pattern of my life. Like Paul, necessity has been laid upon me and woe unto me if I do not preach. Yes, I am a success but still preach. Yes, I am rich but still give my all for the gospel. To the glory of your name. Amen.

    DIEU NOTRE SATISFACTION

    Deutéronome 32:15 (KJV) Mais Jeshurun s’est engraissé, et a regimbé : tu es devenu gras, gros, replet ; et il a abandonné le Dieu qui l’a fait, et il a méprisé le Rocher de son salut.

    Jeshurun « s’est engraissé » et a abandonné le Dieu qui l’a fait. En d’autres termes, il a réussi et a oublié le Dieu qui l’a béni.

    Jeshurun était un homme âgé. Les hommes qui fonctionnent dans le domaine de l’âme sont très faciles à satisfaire.
    Une voiture, une femme, une nouvelle maison ou un nouvel emploi suffisent à les satisfaire. Une telle personne peut facilement abandonner Dieu après avoir eu une voiture, une femme, une maison ou un nouvel emploi.

    Mais en tant que créature du Nouveau Testament, comprenez que vous ne pouvez pas « vous engraisser » et abandonner Dieu parce que l’esprit d’un nouvel homme peut supporter des bénédictions.

    Votre enthousiasme en tant que Nouvelle Créature en Christ est dans l’avancement des choses spirituelles.

    Vous ne devriez jamais être trop riche pour prier ; trop venir à l’église ; trop beau pour prêcher l’évangile. Louons Dieu !

    ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : Hébreux 6:9, 2 Corinthiens 12:15

    PEPITE D’OR : En tant que créature du Nouveau Testament, vous ne pouvez pas « vous engraisser » et abandonner Dieu parce que l’esprit d’un nouvel homme peut supporter des bénédictions.

    PRIERE : Père, je te remercie de ta Parole. L’évangile du royaume est ma vie et le modèle de ma vie. Comme Paul, la nécessité m’a été imposée et malheur à moi si je ne prêche pas. Oui, je suis un succès mais je prêche encore. Oui, je suis riche mais je donne toujours tout pour l’évangile. À la gloire de ton nom. Amen.

Things that Make Ministers: The Comfort of God

Things that Make Ministers: The Comfort of God

  • 2 Corinthians 1:3-4(KJV) Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

    God is the primary comforter of any minister of the gospel. Any comfort outside God is not comfort and can lead to a certain delusion and misunderstanding of the things of the spirit.

    This comfort sometimes comes in the form of growth in ministry, financial increase, divine health etc.

    But, when God comforts His ministers, He also passes on, with the comfort, the burden of the gospel. That is why when God honours you with success, with financial increase and with favour, these should never diminish the burden for the message of Christ.

    These are only given to ease your work of executing divine purpose. The comfort of God does not take away His burden.

    I have seen men who have been too comforted and subsequently lost the burden for the gospel.

    Consider the person who used to pray a lot but when they got a job, they stopped praying. She used to serve God diligently and was believing for marriage but when she got married, she stopped coming to church.

    Comfort should never push you out of the zones of prayer or frustrate the burden for the gospel that God placed upon your life. Hallelujah!

    FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 12:15, 1 Corinthians 9:16

    GOLDEN NUGGET:

    PRAYER: Father, I thank you because I know that you are the God of all comfort. You have been there, through the thick and thin; the best and the worst of times. Thank you for the whisper of your voice that has always spoken blessed assurances. Thank you for the touch of your hand that reminded me of your presence. Thank you for the joy that leaped in my spirit when men thought I should mourn. Thank you for the strength that flooded my soul when the storms of weakness tried to break the gates of my soul. I have you, know you and I am known of you; that’s all that matters. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    CHOSES QUI FONT DES MINISTRES : LE RECONFORT DE DIEU

    2 Corinthiens 1:3-4(KJV) Béni soit Dieu, le Père du Christ Jésus notre Seigneur, le père plein de tendresse, le Dieu de qui vient tout réconfort ! Il nous réconforte qu’elles que soient nos épreuves, pour qu’à notre tour nous soyons capables de réconforter ceux qui sont éprouvés de quelque manière, à partir du réconfort que nous recevons de Dieu.

    Dieu est le premier édifice de tout ministre de l’évangile. Tout réconfort en dehors de Dieu n’est pas un réconfort et peut entraîner une certaine illusion et une mauvaise compréhension des choses de l’esprit.

    Ce réconfort vient parfois sous forme de croissance dans le ministère, l’augmentation financière, la santé divine, etc.

    Mais, quand Dieu réconforte Ses ministres, Il passe aussi, avec le réconfort, le fardeau de l’évangile. C’est pourquoi lorsque Dieu vous honore avec succès, avec une augmentation financière et avec faveur, cela ne devrait jamais diminuer le fardeau du message du Christ.

    Ceux-ci ne sont donnés que pour faciliter votre travail d’exécution du but divin. Le réconfort de Dieu ne supprime pas Son fardeau.

    J’ai vu des hommes qui ont été trop consolés et ont ensuite perdu le fardeau pour l’évangile.

    Considérez la personne qui priait beaucoup mais quand ils ont obtenu un emploi, ils ont cessé de prier. Elle servait à Dieu avec diligence et croyait au mariage mais quand elle s’est mariée, elle a cessé de venir à l’église.

    Le réconfort ne devrait jamais vous éloigner des zones de prière ou frustrer le fardeau de l’évangile que Dieu a placé sur votre vie. Alléluia !

    ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : 2 Corinthiens 12:15, 1 Corinthiens 9:16

    PEPITE D’OR : Lorsque Dieu vous honore avec succès, avec une augmentation financière et avec faveur, cela ne devrait jamais diminuer le fardeau du message du Christ. Ceux-ci ne sont donnés que pour faciliter votre travail d’exécution du but divin. Le réconfort de Dieu ne supprime pas Son fardeau.

    PRIERE : Père, je te remercie parce que je sais que tu es le Dieu de tout réconfort. Tu as été là, à travers l’épais et le mince ; le meilleur et le pire des temps. Merci pour le murmure de ta voix qui a toujours donné de bénies assurances. Je te remercie pour le coup de main qui m’a rappelé ta présence. Je te remercie de la joie qui a poussé dans mon esprit quand les hommes pensaient que je devais pleurer. Je te remercie de la force qui a inondé mon âme lorsque les orages de la faiblesse ont essayé de briser les portes de mon âme. Je te connais et je suis connu de toi ; c’est tout ce qui compte. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Lessons In Virtue: Language

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV) Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?

It is often claimed that marriages break because of a lack of communication. However, more than that, marriages do not break simply because of poor communication but rather because of conflicting language.

By this, I do not mean tribal dialect. No. A couple might communicate frequently yet fight each other every day.

The Born Again Christian walk has a very distinctive language and it is important that you marry someone who understands it.

Take for example the language of faith. A spouse might declare in faith that he or she intends to expand the family business within a month. But because the other party does not understand the language of faith, might size him or her up and their past failings and declare that it is not possible. That alone becomes a source of contention between the two.

When the language is the same, their thought life usually tends to be one: they think the same way and sometimes no longer need to speak in order to know what the other wants.

That is why silence makes the real conversation between friends, not the saying but the never needing to say. Praise God!

FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 31:26, 1 Peter 3:1-2

GOLDEN NUGGET: The Born Again Christian walk has a very distinctive language and it is important that you marry someone who understands it.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this wisdom. My spouse and I have the same language; we understand each other deeper than just speech. By this we walk in the beauty of marital communion. To the glory of your name. Amen.
