The Believer

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Peter 1:3(KJV); According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Everything you ever needed in this life has already been given to you. A believer is not one who is ‘believing God.’

Faith is not believing that God is going to do something for you. It is believing that He has done it for you.

The reason why some people do not get results from God is because they make the attainment of biblical promises a future experience.

They are believing God for a car, marriage and children. Their faith is in the future, yet the scriptures are clear that faith is a now issue.

Like our theme scripture explains, YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN everything that pertains to life and godliness. If you have been given, then you ought not to be believing.

Faith does not bring the promises of God from the future and place them in the present. Faith reveals to you that it is already done. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 11:1, Romans 4:20

GOLDEN NUGGET:
Faith is not believing that God is going to do something for you. It is believing that He has done it for you.

PRAYER: Father, I am thankful for this knowledge that defines how I believe. I understand the finished work and this defines my way of prayer and the pattern of my faith. All I need has been given. My life is an overflow of thanksgiving because I have all that I will ever need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Quickened Life

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms 90:14(KJV); O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Delay is a spirit. There are Christians who when the manifestation of the promises of God in their lives delays, always assume that it is God who is the cause of this delay because he intends to fulfill these promises “in his time.”

The spirit of delay ought never to be confused with God’s timing.

Like our theme scripture reveals, we ought to be satisfied while it is still early that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

It is part of the joy of salvation for a believer to see God early. It is not God’s intention that you do in twenty years what you should have done in two years.

God does not want to give you a husband when you are old and grey. He does not want to give you a car at ninety when you can no longer drive it. That is not God.

As a child of God, you can have what you need, when you need it and in the way you need it. Launch into that liberty of the Spirit. It is your portion in Christ. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Daniel 10:1-4, John 6:63

GOLDEN NUGGET

As a child of God, you can have what you need, when you need it and in the way you need it. God has called you to that liberty of the Spirit.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the quickening of your Spirit. Your Word gives life and propels me faster into the manifestation of your promises. I can never be delayed because my nature is of a quickening Spirit. I have what I want, when I want it and in the way I want it because that is my liberty in Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Word Is Timeless

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms119:89 (NIV); Your word, Lord is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.

The Word of God is not designed to function according to the times of the earth but according to the times of heaven. 

Just because the Bible has events that happened within the earthly time dispensation does not mean that the Word of God is not eternal.

This understanding ought to define your study of the Word. The Word may say, ‘In the years to come, God will reveal His mercy…’ 

One man will read this and understand that in the years to come, God will help him. But another will look at the same scripture and understand it with the mind of ‘now faith…’ 

When you understand the timelessness and eternal nature of the Word, the fullness of scripture ceases to be a future experience. Get into the Word and own its experiences in ‘now faith’.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Peter 1:25, Matthew 24:35

GOLDEN NUGGET: 
Get into the Word and own its experiences in ‘now faith’.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this wisdom. I understand how the Word functions. I do not extend the manifestation of its experiences to the future but know that by faith, they are now. These experiences define my message and ministry in the earth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The God Perspective of Time

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (KJV); He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Our theme scripture speaks of God beautifying things in “His time.” However, God understands time differently from the way men on the earth do. Time to the human is in series: past, present and future.

You are either living in the now moment, in the yesterday moment or in the future moment.

Because many people fit their moments of time in series, they assume that God is also subject to time series.

However, time in eternity are experiences. Every time you have an experience in the spirit, you have attained a certain place and that place is translated as time.

This is why Christianity is a life of experiences. Live a life of constant expectation, do not ignore the slightest impressions of the spirit.

FURTHER STUDY: Colossians 4:5, Acts 17:30-31

GOLDEN NUGGET:
Time in eternity equals to experiences.

PRAYER: My God, you have made me an eternal being who is not subject to the dictates of earthly time. The true understanding of my nature launches me in experiences of eternity because those inform my knowledge of time. This understanding teaches me to redeem and number my days. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Of Learned Men

Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah 50:4(KJV); The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned that, I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

There is a difference between learning men and learned men. A learning man may know the “what” of scripture but the learned man knows the “hows” of scripture.

Our theme scripture qualifies this learned man as one who knows “how” to speak a word in season to him that is weary.

He not only knows what to speak but he knows how to speak what to speak in season to him that is weary.

It is one thing to know the many principles that account for Christian growth and maturity, it is another to know how these principles ought to be applied. A learned man always knows the hows.

However, the knowledge of the “hows” is not simply in the knowledge of method.

Knowing how means that you have the mind of God in the application of these principles.

As a learned man, you always apply the scriptures with the absolute understanding and revelation of the mind of God. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 2:16, Proverbs 14:8

GOLDEN NUGGET:
As a learned man, you always apply the scriptures with the absolute understanding and revelation of the mind of God.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you because I am learned. In everything that I do, I have a full understanding of your mind, intention and purpose. Every step I take reflects the wisdom of one who knows God in truth and in depth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Wisdom in Inquiry

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 21:20-22 (KJV); Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

There are things in this life of the gospel that God does not expect us to inquire about, not because they are wrong in themselves but because they are not important for your purpose and course in life.

Understand that even though the scriptures speak of inquiring in the temple of God( Psalms 27:4), there are questions that are in the perfect will of God for your life and questions that are not.

Like the Apostle Paul says, there are things in the scriptures that are lawful yet do not edify (1 Corinthians 10:23). This was not with respect to actions only, but even the questions with which we go to the presence of God.

Christ made this point when in our theme scripture He asked Peter, “If he will tarry till I come, what is that to thee?”

The message in Christ’s question is to the effect that each one of us should be more mindful of our own course, race and fight. That should be your priority.

Like Paul at the end of his days, you should be able to say, “…I have finished my course…” (2 Timothy 4:7).

It is eternal life to know God and his son Jesus(John 17:3); eternity is worth investing in.

But that life is too precious for you to invest in it without a certain wisdom.

The absence of wisdom lies in the fact that there are certain things we might inquire of the Lord out of curiosity although they are not expedient for the life of the Christian.

Let your place of inquiry in His temple be defined by the things that align you to purpose and destiny.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 10:23, 2 Timothy 4:7

GOLDEN NUGGET:
Let your place of inquiry in His temple be defined by the things that align you to purpose and destiny.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this precious knowledge that gives me direction on how to inquire in your presence. I seek you for that which places me in the center of your perfect will. I know that by this wisdom, I will finish well. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
