Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men (Proverbs 22:29)

Diligence is a mark of greatness. Like our theme scripture says, it causes one to stand before kings and not mean men. One may be diligent in prayer, in fasting, in service to God, at their work places and in their businesses, all of which are very good, but there is another place of diligence: DILIGENCE in FAITH.

The Bible says that we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul (Hebrews 10:39). A man who is diligent in faith believes unto the end; he never quits, he holds onto the Word (its integrity and its inherent power to work). Nothing shakes his faith! Even when everything around him is contrary to his belief, he maintains his confession and does not compromise his convictions.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute (Proverbs 12:24). If you are diligent in faith, you rule over your circumstances, over weakness, over disease, over failure and over the things that cause men to fall.

Don’t let go of your faith; don’t allow any issue to speak louder than the voice of His Word. This is the victory by which we overcome the world. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:
A man who is diligent in faith believes unto the end; he never quits, he holds onto the Word (its integrity and its inherent power to work). Even when everything around him is contrary to his belief, he maintains his confession and does not compromise his convictions.

PRAYER: God, I thank you because the Word is working in my life; it builds my faith and the convictions of fortitude daily. I am a diligent spirit. I cannot be slowed. I cannot be shaken. I cannot be moved. I cannot be brought down. Greater is He that is in me than the devil in the world. I do not draw back; it is in my nature to endure to the end. If I hold the beginning of my confidence until the end, I partake Christ. That is my testimony and story. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

UMWETE MU KWIZERA

Hari umuntu w’umunyamwete mu byo akora ubonye? Bene uwo azaba imbere ku mwami, Ntazakorera abagufi. (Imigani 22:29)

Umwete ni ikimenyetso cyo gukomera. Nkuko icyanditswe twifashishije kivuga, utuma umuntu ahagarara imbere y’abami ntakorere abagufi. Umuntu yagira umwete mu gusenga, mu kwiyiriza,mu murimo w’Imana, mu kazi ke, kandi byose ni byiza ariko hari ahandi hantu h’umwete: UMWETE Mu KWIZERA.

Bibiliya iravuga ngo twebweho ntidufite gusubira inyuma ngo turimbuke, ahubwo dufite kwizera kugira ngo tuzakize ubugingo bwacu.(Abaheburayo 10:39). Umuntu ugira umwete mu kwizera yizera iherezo; ntajya abivamo, yizera ijambo(agaciro karyo n’ imbaraga zo gukora). Ntacyanyeganyeza Kwizera kwe! Niyo ibimuzengurutse byaba bihinyuza ibyo yizeye, aguma yatura neza kandi ntava kubyo yizeye.

Ukuboko kw’umunyamwete kuzatwara, Ariko ukuboko k’umunyabute kuzakoreshwa uburetwa. (Imigani 12:24). Iyo ufite umwete mu kwizera, utegeka ibintu byose,intege nke,indwara,gutsindwa ibintu byose bituma umuntu agwa. Ntuzarekure kwizera kwawe, ntuzemerere ikintu cyose kuvuga kurusha ijwi ry’ijambo ryayo. Ubu ni ubutsinzi dutsindisha isi. Hallelujah!

ICYO WAKURAMO: Umuntu ugira umwete mu kwizera yizera iherezo; ntajya abivamo, yizera ijambo(agaciro karyo n’ imbaraga zo gukora). Ntacyanyeganyeza Kwizera kwe! Niyo ibimuzengurutse byaba bihinyuza ibyo yizeye, aguma yatura neza kandi ntava kubyo yizeye.

ISENGESHO: Data,ndagushimiye kuko ijambo rikora muri njye, rirubaka Kwizera kwanjye buri munsi. Ndi umwuka w’umwete. Sinajugunywa. Sinanyeganyezwa. Sinanajyanwa. Sinashyirwa hafi.

LA DILIGENCE DANS LA FOI

Si tu vois un homme habile dans son ouvrage, Il se tient auprès des rois; Il ne se tient pas auprès des gens obscurs (Proverbes 22:29)

Diligence est une marque de grandeur. Comme le dit notre écriture, cela amène que l’on s’oppose aux rois et non à l’homme méchant. On peut faire preuve de diligence dans la prière, le jeûne, le service à Dieu, dans leurs lieux de travail et dans leurs affaires, tout ce qui est très bon, mais il y a un autre lieu de diligence: DILIGENCE dans FOI.

La Bible dit que nous ne sommes pas de ceux qui reculent à la perdition ; mais de ceux qui croient à la sauvegarde de l’âme (Hébreux 10:39). Un homme diligent dans la foi croit jusqu’à la fin; Il ne quitte jamais, il tient sur la Parole (son intégrité et son pouvoir inhérent au travail). Rien ne secoue sa foi ! Même si tout ce qui l’entoure est contraire à sa croyance, il maintient ses confessions et ne compromet pas ses convictions.

La main du diligent doit porter la règle : mais le paresseux sera soumis devant le groupe (Proverbes 12:24). Si vous êtes diligent dans la foi, vous réglez vos circonstances, sur la faiblesse, sur les maladies, sur l’échec et sur les choses qui font tomber les hommes.

Ne lâchez pas votre foi ; n’autorise aucun problème à parler plus fort que la voix de Sa Parole. C’est la victoire par laquelle nous surmontons le monde. Alléluia !

ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : Marc 9:23, Hébreux 11:6

PEPITE D’OR : Un homme diligent dans la foi croit jusqu’à la fin; Il ne quitte jamais, il tient sur la Parole (son intégrité et son pouvoir inhérent au travail). Rien ne secoue sa foi ! Même si tout ce qui l’entoure est contraire à sa croyance, il maintient ses confessions et ne compromet pas ses convictions.

PRIERE : Dieu, je te remercie parce que la Parole fonctionne dans ma vie ; il développe ma foi et les convictions de la force quotidienne. Je suis un esprit diligent. Je ne peux pas être ralenti. Je ne peux pas être ébranlé. Je ne peux pas être déplacé. Je ne peux pas être abattu. Grand est Celui qui est en moi que le diable dans le monde. Je ne recule pas ; c’est dans ma nature de durer jusqu’à la fin. Si je tiens le début de ma confiance jusqu’à la fin, je participe le Christ. C’est mon témoignage et mon histoire. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree (Galatians 3:13)

The only curse spoken of in the New Testament is the curse of the law. God has never determined to curse His children because the Bible says that He cannot curse whom He has blessed.(Numbers 23:8,20)

Even in the account of the fall of man, He cursed the snake and the ground but did not use ‘curse’ with regard to Adam or Eve. (Genesis 3:14-17)

So where did the curse of the law start from? In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses gives a list of curses that were to befall the children of Israel if they broke the law. He said: ‘cursed shall thou be in the city and cursed shall thou be in the field…Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store…Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in and cursed shall thou be when thou goest out…’ (Deuteronomy 28).

He goes on and on turning every blessing into a curse in the event of disobedience of God’s commandments.

To redeem us from these curses, Jesus identified which one of all the curses Moses had listed he could personify and chose that of hanging on a tree. The scriptures say that cursed is he who hangs on a tree (Deuteronomy 21:23).

By implication, He became ‘a’ curse and destroyed ‘the’ curse. As a new creature in Christ, you are no longer subject to any curses. God declared a permanent blessing over your life; and, bound Himself to it by an oath and swearing by His name because there was no one greater to swear by. (Hebrews 6:13-17). Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

PRAYER: Thank you Lord for this great word. I am free from the curse of the law. I walk under the liberty of your grace. I am perpetually blessed. I have a life sentence of prosperity; a life sentence of divine health; a life sentence of favour; a life sentence of wisdom; a life sentence of mercy; a life sentence of greatness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

KUKI TUBWIRIZA UBUNTU: UMUVUMO W’AMATEGEKO

Kristo yaducunguriye kugira ngo dukizwe umuvumo w’amategeko, ahindutse ikivume ku bwacu (kuko byanditswe ngo”Havumwe umuntu wese umanitswe ku giti”), (Abagaratiya 3:13)

Umuvumo wonyine uvugwa mu isezerano rishya ni umuvumo w’itegeko. Imana ntiyigeze igambirira kuvuma abana bayo kuko bibiliya ivuga ko itavuma uwo yahaye umugisha.(Kubara 23:8,20)

Ni gihe umuntu yacumuye, yavumye inzoka n’ubutaka ariko ntiyavumye ‘Adam na Eva’.(Itangiriro 3:14-17)

Ubwo se umuvumo w’itegeko wahereye hehe? Mu gitabo cyo gutegeka kwa kabiri, Mose atanga uruhererekane rw’imivumo yari kuzagera ku bana ba isirayeri nibica amategeko. Yagize ati: ‘Uzagirira umuvumo mu mudugudu, uzawugirira no mu mirima. ..azavuma icyibo yawe nububiko bwawe…. azavuma amajya namaza. (Gutegeka kwa kabiri 28)

Yakomeje ahindura buri mugisha umuvumo mugihe udakurikije amategeko y’Imana.

Kugirango Yesu adukize iyi mivumo, yagombye kureba umwe muri yo yakwikorera ahitamo uwo kumanikwa ku giti. Icyanditswe kiravuga ngo havumwe umanitswe ku giti (Gutegeka kwa kabiri 21:23)

Yabaye ‘i’ kivume maze akuraho ‘u’ muvumo. Nk’icyaremwe gishya muri Kristo, nta mivumo ugifite. Imana yahaye ubuzima bwawe umugisha uhoraho; kandi yabishizeho indahiro no kurahira kubw’izina rye kuko ntawundi ukomeye wari kwirahira.(Abaheburayo 6:13-17). Hallelujah!!

POURQUOI NOUS PRECHONS LA GRACE : LA MALEDICTION DE LA LOI

Christ nous a rachetés de la malédiction de la loi, étant devenu malédiction pour nous-car il est écrit: Maudit est quiconque est pendu au bois (Galatiens 3:13)

La seule malédiction mentionnée dans le Nouveau Testament est la malédiction de la loi. Dieu n’a jamais décidé de maudire Ses enfants parce que la Bible dit qu’il ne peut pas maudire à qui Il a béni. (Nombres 23:8,20)

Même dans le récit de la chute de l’homme, il a maudit le serpent et le sol mais n’a pas utilisé la « malédiction » à l’égard d’Adam ou Eve. (Genèse 3:14-17)

Alors d’où vient la malédiction de la loi ? Dans le livre du Deutéronome, Moïse donne une liste de malédictions devant les enfants d’Israël s’ils ont enfreint la loi. Il a dit : « Maudit que tu sois dans la ville et maudit que tu sois sur le champ … Maudit sera ta corbeille et ton magasin … Maudit tu seras quand tu viendras et maudit tu seras quand tu vas sortir … » (Deutéronome 28)

Il poursuit et transforme toutes les bénédictions en malédiction en cas de désobéissance aux commandements de Dieu.

Pour nous racheter de ces malédictions, Jésus a identifié l’une de toutes les malédictions que Moïse avait listées qu’il pouvait personnifier et choisir celui de s’accrocher à un arbre. Les écritures disent que maudit est celui qui accroche un arbre (Deutéronome 21:23).

Par implication, il est devenu « une » malédiction et détruit « la » malédiction. En tant que nouvelle créature en Christ, vous n’êtes plus soumis à des malédictions. Dieu a déclaré une bénédiction permanente sur votre vie ; et s’est lié à Lui-même par un serment et en jurant par son nom parce qu’il n’y avait personne de plus à jurer. (Hébreux 6: 13-17). Alléluia !

ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : Proverbes 10:22, Galatiens 3:10

PEPITE D’OR : En tant que nouvelle créature en Christ, vous n’êtes plus soumis à des malédictions. Dieu a déclaré une bénédiction permanente sur votre vie ; et s’est lié à Lui-même par un serment et en jurant par son nom parce qu’il n’y avait personne de plus à jurer.

PRIERE : Merci Seigneur pour cette grande parole. Je suis libre de la malédiction de la loi. Je me promène sous la liberté de votre grâce. Je suis perpétuellement béni. J’ai une condamnation à perpétuité de prospérité ; une condamnation à perpétuité de la santé divine ; une condamnation à perpétuité de faveur ; une condamnation à perpétuité de la sagesse ; une condamnation à perpétuité de la miséricorde ; une condamnation à vie de grandeur.

AHABWENKI TURIKUBURIRA EMBABAZI: OMUKYEENO GW’EBIRAGIRO

Kristo akatucungura omu mukyeeno gw’Ebiragiro, obu yaakyeenwa ahabwaitu, ahakuba kikahandiikwa ngu: Omuntu weena orikuhanikwa aha muti akyeenwe: (Abagalatia 3:13)

N’omukugwa kwa Adamu, akakyeena enjoka n’eitaka kwonka tarakozeise ekigambo ekyo ahari Adamu nari Haawa.(Okutandika 3:14-17)

Mbwenu shi omukyeeno gw’ebiragiro gukatandikirahi? Omu kitabo ky’Ebiragiro, Musa akaheereza ebihandiko byemikyeeno ebyabaire biri eby’okuhika aha baana ba Israeli kuri bajemeire ebiragiro. Akagira ati: Omukyeeno gube aha kitenga kyawe n’aha nyungu yaawe egoya. Oryaba okyeenirwe omu magyenda n’omu magaruka…’ (Eky’Ebiragiro 28)

Agumizamu ahindura omugisha agukora omukyeeno wajeemera ebiragiro bya Ruhanga.

Ruhanga akaragiira omugisha ogutahwaho aha magara gawe.; kandi, yarahira omwiziina rye ahabw’okuba hakaba hatariho eiziina ahaiguru ye ry’okurahiza. (Abahebuurayo 6:13-17). Hallelujah!

And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? (1 Samuel 17:26)

As children of God, we fight by COVENANT. That is the conviction on which David stands when he asks how Goliath the ‘uncircumcised Philistine’ would dare to defy the armies of the living God.

The Bible says that wisdom is better than weapons of war (Ecclesiastes 9:18). The wisdom by which we fight is that we are in a covenant relationship with God and that our victory was already won. That knowledge is what swung the stone that brought down Goliath.

A local adage says: “if fate is not on your side, even a banana can break your tooth”.

That is how we relate with the enemy; he is perpetually on the wrong side of victory. The battle lines were eternally drawn and he stands on the losing side.

Giants don’t fall by how much we pray or fast; they fall by the covenant that made us more than conquerors through Christ who strengthens us.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank you because I am a victor in Christ. The devil is in trouble because of me. I have already overcome. I stand on the authority that I am a child of God; that though a thousand may fall by my right and ten thousand on the left, none of these things shall by any means come near me; that I am not afraid of the destruction that wastes at noonday or the terror by night. By His covenant; the hosts of heaven’s armies have mounted guard over me. I am divinely protected and watched over. In Jesus’ name Amen.

SOLDATS CHRETIENS : COMMENT NOUS COMBATTONS

David dit aux hommes qui se trouvaient près de lui: Que fera-t-on à celui qui tuera ce Philistin, et qui ôtera l’opprobre de dessus Israël? Qui est donc ce Philistin, cet incirconcis, pour insulter l’armée du Dieu vivant? (1 Samuel 17:26)

En tant qu’enfants de Dieu, nous nous battons par ALLIANCE . C’est la conviction sur laquelle David est debout quand il demande comment Goliath, le « Philistin incirconcis », oserait défier les armées du Dieu vivant.

La Bible dit que la sagesse est meilleure que les armes de guerre (Ecclésiaste 9:18). La sagesse par laquelle nous nous battons c’est que nous sommes dans une relation d’alliance avec Dieu et que notre victoire a déjà été gagnée. Cette connaissance est ce qui a transformé la pierre qui a abattu Goliath.

Un adage local dit : ” Si le destin n’est pas de votre côté, même une banane peut vous casser la dent “.

C’est ainsi que nous nous rapportons avec l’ennemi; Il est perpétuellement du mauvais côté de la victoire. Les lignes de bataille étaient éternellement dessinées et il se tenait du côté perdant.

Les géants ne tombent pas par combien nous prions ou vite; Ils tombent par l’alliance qui nous a fait plus que des conquérants par le Christ qui nous renforce.

PEPITE D’OR : Les géants ne tombent pas par combien nous prions ou vite; Ils tombent par l’alliance qui nous a fait plus que des conquérants par le Christ qui nous renforce.

PRIERE: Seigneur, je te remercie parce que je suis un vainqueur en Christ. Le démon est en difficulté à cause de moi. J’ai déjà surmonté. Je me tiens à l’autorité que je suis un enfant de Dieu; Que même si mille hommes tomberont à ma droite et dix mille à gauche, aucune de ces choses ne se rapprochera de mo i; que je n’ai pas peur de la destruction qui gaspille le lendemain ou la terreur de la nuit. Par Son alliance ; les hôtes des armées du ciel se sont montés sur moi. Je suis divinement protégé et surveillé. Au nom de Jésus, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand. Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:13-17).

To put on the amour of God means to be conscious of the things that constitute the armour: the convictions of truth, that you are the righteousness of God, that you teach the gospel of peace, that you have faith in your spirit, that you are saved by God and that His word is in you.

Before I learnt this truth, I used to prepare for ‘warfare’ by ‘wearing the armour.’ I would say to myself: ‘I now wear the helmet of salvation, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith and the sword of the spirit.’

Then, having dressed up fully with my imagined armour, I would start to wrestle with demons and principalities. After I was done, I would remove the armour until the next time I was called to battle.

But the armour is not something you wear imaginatively; it is also not something you ‘put on’ and ‘put off.’ Simply be conscious of who you are in Christ; that is what will cause you to stand in the evil day.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:4, Ecclesiastes 9:18

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Putting on the amour of God means be conscious of the things that constitute the armour: the convictions of truth, that you are the righteousness of God,that you teach the gospel of peace, that you have faith in your spirit, that you are saved by God and that His word is in you.

PRAYER: Thank you my God for this knowledge. I know how to fight. I stand in the consciousness of who is in me and whose I am. I fight by covenant and my enemies fall by the power of the covenant on which I stand. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Abaserukare B’Abakristayo: Eby’Okurwanisa Byona Ebya Ruhanga

Entumwa Grace Lubega

N’ahabw’ekyo mukwate eby’okurwanisa byona ebya Ruhanga, mubone kuguma aha izooba ribi; kandi, ku muriheza kukora byona, mwemerere muhamire. Ahabw’ekyo mwemerere, mwezirikire amazima omu nda nk’orukoba, mujwaire eky’okuhikiirira nk’ekyoma ky’okwekingiza omu kifuba, mujwaire enkaito ez’okweteekateeka kugamba engiri y’obusingye; kandi ahari ebyo byona mukwatireho engabo y’okwikiriza, ei murikubaasa kuraarisa emyambi y’omuriro yoona ey’Omubi. Kandi mujware enkofiira ey’okujunwa, na rurara y’Omwoyo, nikyo kigambo kya Ruhanga; (Abaefeso 6:13-17).

Okukwata eby’okurwanisa byona ebya Ruhanga nikimanyisa okumanya eby’okurwanisa: okushijwa amazima, ngu ori ohikirire wa Ruhanga, ngu noshomesa engiri y’obusingye, ngu oine okwikiriza omu mwoyo wawe, ngu ojunirwe Ruhanga kandi ekigambo kye kiri omuriiwe.

Ntakamanyire amazima aga, nkaba nyeterereza ‘okurwana’ ‘ndi kukwata eby’okurwanisa’. Nkaba nyegambira nti: ‘hati najwara enkofiira g’okujunwa, amazima omunda nk’orukoba, eky’okuhikirira nk’ekyoma ky’okwekingiza omu kifuba, engabo y’okwikiriza n’arurara y’omwoyo’. 

Rero, ntandika kurwana n’adaimoni n’ebirikutegyeka ensi. Kunabaire mpeza, nkaba njura eby’okurwanisa mpaka orutaro orundi.

Kwonka eby’okurwanisa ti bintu by’orikuteekateeka kujwara; kandi ti bintu ‘by’orikujwara okiheza okajuura’. Kwonka manya eki ori omuri Kristo; ekyo nikyo kiri kukuyamba kwemerera aha eizooba eribi.

SHOMA NEEBI: 1 Yohaana 4:4, Omuburizi 9:18

EKY’OKUHAMIZA KIMWE: 
Okukwata eby’okurwanisa byona ebya Ruhanga nikimanyisa okumanya eby’okurwanisa: okushijwa amazima, ngu ori ohikirire wa Ruhanga, ngu noshomesa engiri y’obusingye, ngu oine okwikiriza omu mwoyo wawe, ngu ojunirwe Ruhanga kandi ekigambo kye kiri omuriiwe.

OKUSHABA: Ninkusiima Ruhanga wangye ahabw’obwengye obu. Nimanya kurwana. Nimanya ori omuriinye kandi nanye ndi kwawe. Nindwana n’endagaano kandi abazigu nibagwa ahabw’amaani g’endagaano ei nyemereireho. Omwiziina rya Yesu. Amiina.

Abasirikare Ba Kristo: Intwaro Z’Imana

Apostle Grace Lubega

Nuko rero mutware intwaro zose z’Imana, kugira ngo mubashe gukomera ku munsi mubi, kandi murangije byose mubashe guhagarara mudatsinzwe. Muhagarare mushikamye mukenyeye ukuri, mwambaye gukiranuka nk’icyuma gikingira igituza, mukwese inkweto, ari zo butumwa bwiza bw’amahoro bubiteguza, kandi ikigeretse kuri byose mutware kwizera nk’ingabo, ari ko muzashoboza kuzimisha imyambi ya wa mubi yose yaka umuriro. Mwakire agakiza kabe ingofero, mwakire n’inkota y’Umwuka ari yo Jambo ry’Imana  (Abefeso 6:13-17)

Gutwara intwaro zose z’Imana bivuze kumenya ibintu bigize intwaro: kwemezwa ukuri, ko uri umukiranutsi w’Imana, ko wigisha ubutumwa bw’amahoro, ko ufite kwizera mu mwuka wawe, ko wacunguwe n’Imana kandi ko ijambo rye riri muri wowe.

Mbere y’uko niga uku kuri, najyaga nitegura ‘Kurwana’ ari uko ‘nambaye intwaro.’ Najyaga nibwira ngo: ‘ubu nambaye ingofero y’agakiza, umukandara w’ukuri, nambaye gukiranuka, ingabo yo kwizera n’inkota y’umwuka.’

Hanyuma, maze kwambara intwaro, natangiraga guhangana n’abadayimoni n’imyuka yo mu kirere. Hanyuma narangiza, nakurangamo intwaro kugeza ikindi gihe mpampagawe kongera kurwana.

Ariko intwaro nago ari ikintu wibwira kwambara; na none si ikintu ‘wambara’ hanyuma ‘ukiyambura.’ Wowe menya uwo uriwe muri Kristo; icyo nicyo kizatuma uhagarara ku munsi mubi.

IBINDI BYANDITSWE: 1 Yohana 4:4, Umubwiriza 9:18

ICYO WAKURAMO
Gutwara intwaro zose z’Imana bivuze kumenya ibintu bigize intwaro: kwemezwa ukuri, ko uri umukiranutsi w’Imana, ko wigisha ubutumwa bw’amahoro, ko ufite kwizera mu mwuka wawe, ko wacunguwe n’Imana kandi ko ijambo rye riri muri wowe.

ISENGESHO
Urakoze Mana ku bw’ubu bwenge. Nzi kurwana. Mpagaze mu kumenya undimo nuwo mbereyeho. Ndwana ku bw’igihango kandi abanzi banjye bagwa ku bw’imbaraga z’igihango mpagazeho. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen

Apostle Grace Lubega

What mean ye that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge? As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall no more have occasion to use this proverb in Israel. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him (Ezekiel 18: 2-3, 20).

The new creature in Christ is not subject to any generational curses. Like our theme scripture shows: the notion that one is bound because of his father, grandmother or great grandfather’s action is scripturally inaccurate. 

I know a Christian who was stuck and afflicted by problem after problem in her life. When she spoke to a man of God over the issue, he told her to first trace her family line as far back as she could and then start to break the generational curses one by one, starting from the farthest grandparent.

She took a trip to her village and faithfully did so: systematically moving down a lengthy family tree and breaking the curses brought about by any sin of her forefathers. Her situation never changed.

Child of God, the word ‘generation’ comes from the Latin word “generare” meaning to beget. The Greek word “genos” means kindred, family, stock or tribe. You are begotten of God; you are of the God generation. 

The Bible says that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, THE OLD IS PASSED [Any attachment to old generations is passed] and the new is come and ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). It says: ‘of his own will begat he us with the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures (James 1:18). 

Saints, this means you have God’s DNA. That family tree of your father and mother and the consequences of their actions are not your portion; you are free from generational curses. But instead, your portion is generational blessings. 

FURTHER STUDY:1 Peter 2:9, John 1:12

GOLDEN NUGGET: You have God’s DNA. You are free from generational curses. Your portion is generational blessings.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this great and wonderful word. I have your DNA; your life is in me, it is flowing through my veins, my body, my heart and in my bones. It works in everything around me. I live in the freedom of one that has been set free indeed. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
