In The Secret Place

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms 91:1(KJV), He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

The secret place of the Most High is dwelt in by those that have understood true solitude.

This solitude is the closest sense to the divine: if a man never understands the experiences of solitude, he can never understand the experiences of the divine.

Why is this so? It is because, often times, God deals with men more deeply when they are alone.

But what is solitude? Is it locking oneself up for hours while in fellowship with God? Is it making pilgrimages to lonely country sides?

Well these are just forms of how men seek solitude, and are all acceptable, but are not the core spirit of what solitude is.

One may be in the midst of multitudes and yet still be in solitude.

Solitude does not mean the absence of activity in your life, it is your absence from the world of activity.

Paul speaks in 2 Corinthians 5:8 of being absent from the body to be present with the Lord. This is not just in the place of physical death.

It means that even though you are present in an environment physically, you can be absent from it spiritually.

This absence from a physical environment spiritually causes you to be alive unto God.

FURTHER STUDY: Matthew 6:6, Luke 5:16

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The secret place of the Most High is dwelt in by those that have understood true solitude. Solitude does not mean the absence of activity in your life, it is your absence from the world of activity.

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for this wisdom. My spirit is exercised to be alive unto you regardless of how busy my physical environment is. I am constantly tuned to your direction and instruction. By this, I am always available to be used by you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

When We Gather

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 14:26 (KJV), How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

When we gather for fellowship, some people have the mindset that they are “empty, dry and cold” and so, they come into the presence of God to be “ignited, refreshed and filled up.”

This ought not to be so for children of God. To us, fellowship is the overflow of the experiences of men who have been in solitude with God.

That is why Paul describes it thus; “when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.”

Yes, we gather to feed, but not as men who are empty. We gather as those that are lit, full of the Spirit and radiating glory.

So when you attend service, attend as one charged up in the Spirit, overflowing with revelation and burning with eternal flames. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 10:25, John 1:16

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

Fellowship is the overflow of the experiences of men who have been in solitude with God.

PRAYER: God, I thank you for your Word. I live in the fullness of the Spirit. I can never run dry because out of me flow rivers of living water. I am always full, ignited and overflowing with eternal experiences. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

QUAND NOUS NOUS RASSEMBLONS

1 Corinthiens 14:26 (KJV) Que faire donc, frères ? Lorsque vous vous assemblez, les uns ou les autres parmi vous ont-ils un cantique, une instruction, une révélation, une langue, une interprétation, que tout se fasse pour l’édification.

Quand nous nous rassemblons pour la communion, certaines personnes ont l’état d’esprit qu’elles sont « vides, sèches et froides » et ainsi, elles viennent en présence de Dieu pour être « enflammées, rafraîchies et comblées ».

Cela ne devrait pas être ainsi pour les enfants de Dieu. Pour nous, la communion est le débordement des expériences des hommes qui ont été dans la solitude avec Dieu.

C’est pourquoi Paul le décrit ainsi : « Quand vous vous réunissez, chacun d’entre vous a un psaume, a une doctrine, a une langue, a une révélation, a une interprétation. »

Oui, nous nous réunissons pour nourrir, mais pas comme des hommes qui sont vides. Nous nous rassemblons comme ceux qui sont allumés, pleins de l’Esprit et rayonnant de gloire.

Ainsi, lorsque vous assistez au service, assistez comme quelqu’un chargé de l’Esprit, débordant de révélation et brûlant de flammes éternelles. Alléluia !

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Hébreux 10:25, Jean 1:16

PÉPITE D’OR : La communion est le débordement des expériences des hommes qui ont été dans la solitude avec Dieu.

PRIÈRE : Dieu, je te remercie pour ta Parole. Je vis dans la plénitude de l’Esprit. Je ne peux jamais courir à sec parce que hors de moi coulent des rivières d’eau vive. Je suis toujours plein, enflammé et débordant d’expériences éternelles. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

God’s Mind On Restoration

Apostle Grace Lubega

Roman 14:4(KJV), Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

The fall of a believer is not their worst state with God. The believer’s worst state is the refusal to be restored.

God’s mind is clear, He seeks to hold up His servant if he [the servant] falls, and to make him stand.

Sadly, many people reject this place of restoration. When they make mistakes, they feel too beaten to return to the presence of God: they leave Church, stop serving in ministry and cease to pray.

What you did is not the issue; refusing to return to the rock of your salvation for healing and restoration is the issue.

“A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again…”(Proverbs 24:16). Sadly, there are just men who fall never to rise again.

They that rise again only do so because they killed their pride and immaturity.

No mistake, no matter how grave, should take away your place with God.

FURTHER STUDY: Numbers 12:7-9, Romans 8:38-39

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The fall of a believer is not their worst state with God. The believer’s worst state is the refusal to be restored. No mistake, no matter how grave, should take away your place with God.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this divine instruction. I stand on the great conviction that nothing can separate me from your love. If my heart condemns me, my blessed assurance is that you are bigger than my heart. I will always stand before you for you are my justification, my righteousness and the lifter of my head. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LA PENSÉE DE DIEU SUR LA RESTAURATION 

Romains 14:4 (KJV) Qui es-tu, toi qui juges un serviteur d’autrui? S’il se tient debout, ou s’il tombe, cela regarde son maître. Mais il se tiendra debout, car le Seigneur a le pouvoir de l’affermir.

La chute d’un croyant n’est pas leur pire état avec Dieu. Le pire état du croyant est le refus d’être restauré. L’esprit de Dieu est clair, Il cherche à retenir Son serviteur s’il tombe [le serviteur] et à le faire lever.

Malheureusement, beaucoup de gens rejettent ce lieu de restauration. Quand ils font des erreurs, ils se sentent trop battus pour retourner à la présence de Dieu : ils quittent l’Église, cessent de servir dans le ministère et cessent de prier.

Ce que vous avez fait n’est pas le problème ; refuser de retourner au rocher de votre salut pour guérir et restaurer est le problème.

« Un homme juste tombe sept fois et se relève… » (Proverbes 24:16). Malheureusement, il y a juste des hommes justes qui ne se relèvent jamais.

Ceux qui se relèvent ne le font que parce qu’ils ont tué leur fierté et leur immaturité. 

Aucune erreur, aussi grave soit-elle, ne doit emporter votre place avec Dieu.

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Nombres 12:7-9, Romains 8:38-3 

PÉPITE D’OR : La chute d’un croyant n’est pas leur pire état avec Dieu. Le pire état du croyant est le refus d’être restauré. Aucune erreur, aussi grave soit-elle, ne doit emporter votre place avec Dieu. 

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour cette instruction divine. Je suis convaincu que rien ne peut me séparer de ton amour. Si mon cœur me condamne, mon assurance bénie est que tu es plus grand que mon cœur. Je serai toujours devant toi car tu es ma justification, ma justice et le redresseur de ma tête. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

The Battle is the Lord’s

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Chronicles 20:15 (KJV), And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

In this life, there are people who might set themselves to fight you but in doing so, they set themselves to fight God. And they cannot fight God and win.

God owns your battles. Because he owns your battles, he instructs you thus; “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you…” (2 Chronicles 20:17).

The prophet Isaiah explains the futility of any man that dares to fight against God. He says, “Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together (Isaiah 31:3).

You are the anointed of God. When he said, “touch not the Lord’s anointed,” (Psalms 105:15) it was not a piece of advice, it was a warning.

God has owned your battle, find rest.

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 10:30, 2 Chronicles 32:8

GOLDEN NUGGET:
God owns your battles, find Rest.

PRAYER: Father I thank you because victory belongs to you. I am a rested spirit because my battles are yours to fight. No weapon fashioned against me can prosper and every tongue that rises against me in judgment has been condemned. By this testimony, I have overcome the world and every plan of the enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

INTAMBARA NI IY’UWITEKA

2 Ingoma 20:15
Aravuga ati”Nimwumve yemwe Bayuda mwese, namwe baturage b’i Yerusalemu nawe Mwami Yehoshafati, uku ni ko Uwiteka avuze ‘Mwitinya kandi mwe gukurwa umutima n’izo ngabo nyinshi, kuko urugamba atari urwanyu ahubwo ni urw’Imana.

Muri ubu buzima, hari abantu bashobora kwishyira hamwe ngo bakurwanye ariko mu kubigenza batyo, baba bishyize hamwe kurwanya Imana. Ariko, nago barwanya Imana ngo batsinde.

Imana niyo nyir’intambara zawe. Kuko intambara zawe ziyireba, irakuburira iti; Muri iyo ntambara ntimuzagomba kurwana, muzahagarare mwireme inteko gusa, mwirebere agakiza Uwiteka azabaha….(2 Ingoma 20:17).

Umuhanuzi Yesaya asobanura ibyago by’umuntu wese uhangara kurwanya Imana. Aravuga, Kandi rero Abanyegiputa si Imana ni abantu gusa, n’amafarashi yabo si umwuka ni inyama gusa, maze ubwo Uwiteka azarambura ukuboko utabaye azasitara, kandi utabawe azagwa. Nuko bose bazashirira hamwe (Yesaya 31:13).

Wasizwe n’Imana. Igihe yavugaga iti, “ntukore kuwasizwe,” (Zaburi 105:15) nago kwari ukugira inama, kwari ukuburira.

Imana yishyizeho intambara zawe, ruhuka.

LA BATAILLE EST AU SEIGNEUR

2 Chroniques 20:15 (KJV) Et il dit : Soyez attentifs, tout Juda et habitants de Jérusalem, et toi, roi Josaphat ! Ainsi vous parle l’Eternel : Ne craignez point et ne vous effrayez point devant cette multitude nombreuse, car ce ne sera pas vous qui combattrez, ce sera Dieu.

Dans cette vie, il y a des gens qui pourraient se mettre à combattre mais en faisant cela, ils se mettent à combattre Dieu. Et ils ne peuvent pas combattre Dieu et gagner.

Dieu possède vos batailles. Parce qu’il possède vos batailles, il vous instruit ainsi : « Vous n’aurez pas besoin de combattre dans cette bataille : vous vous arrêtez, tenez-vous immobiles, et voyez le salut du Seigneur avec vous… » (2 Chroniques 20:17).

Le prophète Isaïe explique la futilité de tout homme qui ose se battre contre Dieu. Il dit : « Maintenant, les Egyptiens sont des hommes, et non pas Dieu ; et leurs chevaux, la chair, et non l’esprit. Quand l’Éternel étendra sa main, celui qui secourt tombera, et celui qui est aidé tombera, et tous échoueront ensemble » (Isaïe 31:3).

Vous êtes l’oint de Dieu. Quand il a dit : « Ne touchez pas à l’oint du Seigneur » (Psaumes 105:15), ce n’était pas un conseil, c’était un avertissement.

Dieu a possédé votre bataille, trouvez le repos.

ÉTUDE : Hébreux 10:30, 2 Chroniques 32:8

PÉPITE D’OR : Dieu a possédé votre bataille, trouvez le repos.

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie parce que la victoire t’appartient. Je suis un esprit reposé parce que mes batailles sont à toi. Aucune arme façonnée contre moi ne peut prospérer et toute langue qui s’élève contre moi en jugement a été condamnée. Par ce témoignage, j’ai vaincu le monde et tous les plans de l’ennemi. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Spiritual Heavy Weights

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV), Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

A story is told by a great man of God who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of robbers.

They held him at gun point and commanded him to get out of his car with the intention of robbing him.

He got out of the car and told them that they were too small to hold him at ransom. He proceeded to command that they each report to the police station and hand themselves in.

His words carried enough authority to cause the men to do exactly as he had ordered. He found them at the police station having done as he had directed.

That is an example of what it means to have spiritual weight.

This spiritual weight far surpasses physical weight. A man may have physical weight but if he does not have spiritual weight, then he cannot ably fight his adversaries.

Physical weight might be wealth, body size or political influence. All these are nothing when compared to a man who knows his God.

That spiritual weight is the reason you cannot be robbed, bewitched or touched by those that seek to destroy you.

God has called you to be as dynamite, He is with you.

Greater is He that is in you than he in the world (1 John 4:4).

You might be small physically but you are not small spiritually. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:4, Luke 10:19

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

God has called us to be as dynamite, He is with you. You might be small physically but you are not small spiritually.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for who I am in you. I am strong and nothing can shake or move me. I have weight spiritually and by that same weight, I influence life physically. Disease and poverty cannot touch me; destruction cannot come near me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
