Because we have this Ministry
-
Apostle Grace Lubega
2 Corinthians 4:1-2(KJV); Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
There is an attitude God expects you to have because you are Born Again. For this reason, Paul in our theme scripture says, because we have this ministry, we faint not.That is why you do not give up. What is on the inside of you is so great; that treasure in an earthen vessel that the excellence of power might be of God (2 Corinthians 4:7).
Yes, you might go through the hardest places but you are always reminded that there is greatness on the inside of you, that there is a Spirit in you and the inspiration of the Lord has given you understanding(Job 32:8)
Fret and worry may come. Always draw strength from that which is on the inside of you. The Spirit of God will always remind you that you are the offspring of the Almighty God. Hallelujah!

I am not of them that draw back but of them that endure to the saving of the soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

KUKO DUFITE UYU MURIMO
2 Abakorinto 4:1-2 Nuko rero, ubwo dufite uwo murimo wo kugabura iby’Imana ku bw’imbabazi twagiriwe, ntiducogora ahubwo twanga ibiteye isoni bikorwa rwihishwa, tutagendera mu buriganya kandi tutagoreka ijambo ry’Imana, ahubwo tuvuga ukuri tweruye bigatuma umuntu wese adushimisha umutima we imbere y’Imana.
Hari umirimo Imana ishaka ko ugira kuko wavutse ubwa kabiri. Ku bw’iyi mpamvu, Pawulo mu cyanditswe twifashishije aravuga, kuko dufite uyu murimo, ntiducogora.
Niyo mpamvu udacogora. Kuko ikiri imbere muri wowe gihambaye; bwa butunzi mu nzabya z’ibumba, kugira ngo imbaraga zisumba byose zibe iz’Imana zidaturutse kuri twe (2 Abakorinto 4:7).
Yego, ushobora guca ahakomeye ariko uhora wibutswa ko hari ugukomera muri wowe, ko hari umwuka muri wowe kandi ko umwuka agusunikira mu gusobanukirwa (Yobu 32:8).
Kwiganyira no guhangayika bishobora kuza. Uzajye uhora uvoma imbaraga ku kiri imbere muri wowe. Umwuka w’Imana uzajya uhora ukwibutsa ko ukomoka ku Mwami Mana. Hallelujah!
IBINDI BYANDITSWE: Abaheburayo 10:39, Abaheburayo 3:14
ICYO WAKURAMO: Kwiganyira no guhangayika bishobora kuza. Uzajye uhora uvoma imbaraga ku kiri imbere muri wowe. Umwuka w’Imana uzajya uhora ukwibutsa ko ukomoka ku Mwami Imana.
ISENGESHO: Data, ngushimiye ijambo ryawe. Muri wowe mbaho, nkagenda ndetse nkanuzura. Nago ndi muri ba bandi basubira inyuma ahubwo ndi muri bamwe bihangana bagakiza ubugingo. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen

CAR NOUS AVONS CE MINISTÈRE
2 Corinthiens 4:1-2 (KJV) C’est pourquoi, ayant ce ministère, selon la miséricorde qui nous a été faite, nous ne perdons pas courage. 2Nous rejetons les choses honteuses qui se font en secret, nous n’avons point une conduite astucieuse, et nous n’altérons point la parole de Dieu. Mais, en publiant la vérité, nous nous recommandons à toute conscience d’homme devant Dieu.
Il y a une attitude que Dieu attend de vous parce que vous êtes Né de nouveau. Pour cette raison, Paul dit dans notre écriture : « Parce que nous avons ce ministère, nous ne nous évanouissons pas. »
C’est pourquoi vous n’abandonnez pas. Ce qui est à l’intérieur de vous est si grand ; ce trésor dans un vase de terre que l’excellence du pouvoir pourrait être de Dieu (2 Corinthiens 4:7).
Oui, vous pourriez traverser les endroits les plus difficiles mais vous êtes toujours rappelé qu’il y a de la grandeur à l’intérieur de vous, qu’il y a un Esprit en vous et que l’inspiration du Seigneur vous a donné la compréhension (Job 32:8)
L’agitation et l’inquiétude peuvent venir. Tire toujours la force de ce qui est à l’intérieur de vous. L’Esprit de Dieu vous rappellera toujours que vous êtes la progéniture du Dieu Tout-Puissant. Alléluia !
ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE: Hébreux 10:39, Hébreux 3:14
PÉPITE D’OR : L’agitation et l’inquiétude peuvent venir. Tirez toujours la force de ce qui est à l’intérieur de vous. L’Esprit de Dieu vous rappellera toujours que vous êtes la progéniture du Dieu Tout-Puissant.
PRIÈRE: Père, je te remercie pour ta Parole. En toi je vis, bouge et ai mon être. Je ne suis pas de ceux qui reculent mais de ceux qui supportent le salut de l’âme. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

PHANEROO~DEVOTION
22nd November 2017
Apostle Grace Lubega
Daniel 1:6-7 (KJV), Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
When the children of Israel were taken into captivity, they were carried to Babylon. However, Babylon is not just a historical place. It is the distinctive representation of the systems of this world.
In Babylon, the prince of the eunuchs changed the names of Daniel and his companions. The Babylonian system will always seek to change your God given identity.
Today, we have many Christians imitating the patterns of the world to define who they are. This explains why believers look like the carnal men of the present world.
They look at the men of this world and admire to be like them. Many of these imitations are done without understanding the spirit behind them.
What makes Daniel different from all his companions is that even though he was given the name Belteshazzar, he never accepted it.
He is largely identified as Daniel while Hannaniah, Mishael and Azariah are mostly identified as Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego.
For this reason, the glory in which he operates is different from that in which his companions operate. His friends are thrown into the fire and do not get burned. But Daniel, even though he did not bow to the statue, did not get to test that fire(Daniel 3).
That is the glory of a man who understands his identity in God. God Himself hides him. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 3:14-15
GOLDEN NUGGET:
The glory of the man who understands his identity in God is that God Himself hides him.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for who I am in you. I am of a peculiar nation, a royal priesthood. I carry your name and identity. Nothing in this world defines me but you my God. I am different, I am special, I am unpredictable. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
2 Corinthians 10:12, (KJV), For we dare not make ourselves of the number,or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves,and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
It is a lack of wisdom to compare yourself with any one. When you compare yourself to another, you will never have gratitude before God.
God has called you to run your own race, to keep your course. It doesn’t matter how successful your peers might be, how they might have made greater strides in life than you. You have your own story: write it with your own pen and not that of another man.
The success of another man can only be a lesson from which you learn. It should never be a bench mark against which you judge your capabilities or your sense of identity.
When a man uses the success of another to judge his sense of identity and his abilities, he births in himself the gull of bitterness. This bitterness in any one’s spirit is the very ground in which possibilities for growth wither and die.
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 12:1, John 21:22
GOLDEN NUGGET:
It is a lack of wisdom to compare yourself with any one.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this wisdom. My identity and ability is not measured by what others have done and achieved but my understanding and knowledge of who I am in you. I know my race and course and follow after it with my eyes set on you the author and finisher of my faith. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV); Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
In the New Testament dispensation, we have the liberty to reason with God. However, we do not do it in the manner of the man of the Old Testament.
The old man was enslaved by sin, so most of his dealings with God focused on the sin issue.
The new man is a slave to righteousness, his dealings with God ought to be of things higher.
The depths in God are too vast for the Church to centre only on the substance of sin. Beyond that, there is more in God to explore.
It does not mean that we should not live moral lives. By all means we should. However, after that, there is more in God.
God seeks to commune with you about why Christ apprehended you, how to seek and know Him because it is eternal life, the apostleship to obedience of all nations and the illumination of your eyes that you might know the hope of your calling and the glory of His riches in the saints.
He wants to reason with you about the exceeding greatness of His love, its width, breadth and height that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 12:22-23, Philippians 3:20
GOLDEN NUGGET:
The depths in God are too vast for the Church to centre only on the substance of sin. Beyond that, there is more in God to explore.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your Word. I understand the substance of heavenly conversations, I am perfect in Word and speech because I have understood the testimony of imputed righteousness. The substance of my communion with you is of things that pertain to the higher calling in Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV), For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Children are born, sons are given. It means that when someone is a child in the ministry, we nurture and tend them as new born babies.
When they transition into sons, they become gifts to us. Sons add profit to the ministry while children only feed from it.
Not all children transition into sons. Some Christians remain babes for years because they do not diligently apply themselves to the principles by which children become sons.
This transition starts from the place of obedience. Every child, in the ministry, ought to learn to be obedient to the instruction of their spiritual authority.
Many times, instructions are given from the altar: win souls, give and love, study the Word. Those are not mere words, they are keys; opportunities for access into deeper graces in the Spirit.
Learn to honour spiritual instruction. It will unlock doors for your elevation, growth and maturity.
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 13:17, Hebrews 13:7
GOLDEN NUGGET:
Children are born, sons are given. When someone is a child in the ministry, we nurture and tend them as new born babies. When they transition into sons, they become gifts to the ministry.
PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for your Word. I understand the pattern of obedience to instructions. I am a truly submitted spirit who honours what they that you have set over me say. I observe the end of their conversation and imitate their faith. By this wisdom, I grow and profit the kingdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
Hebrews 10:39 (KJV), But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
The principles of God are above your personal needs. It means that regardless of how constrained you might feel, stick to the principles.
Tithe, even when you are indebted and seemingly overwhelmed by dues that need to be paid. Pray and attend service, give God attention and time even when you feel exhausted after a long day at work. Never compromise the principles. Live a life without excuses!
Sometimes this compromise might seem like a shortcut, a relief of the pressures you feel. Allow God to build in you that character of faithfulness. He will not forget your labour of love(Hebrews 6:10). That is how promotions, increase and multiplication in the things of the Spirit comes. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 10:23, Hebrews 11:6
GOLDEN NUGGET:
The principles of God are above your personal needs.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your Word. I honour you above all things. You are the God who never fails, you’re forever faithful. I choose to trust in you, to walk by the dictates of the Word knowing that it is impossible for you to lie. I am steadfast in faith, looking to you the author and finisher of my faith. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
