The Phaneroo Devotion: How To Receive From Ministers Of God - 3
Apostle Grace Lubega
Mark 6:4-5 (KJV); But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
To receive from a minister of God, it is important to avoid familiarity.
This was the pitfall of the people in our theme scripture. To them, Jesus was the carpenter, son of Mary and brother to James, Joses, Juda and Simon.
Were they ailing and diseased? Of course, they were. Were they struggling with demonic oppression? Of course, they were. Did they need Godly intervention in their families? Of course, they did.
Their needs notwithstanding, familiarity stood between them and their much-needed miracles. They did themselves a great disservice when they assumed that Christ was an ordinary man and discredited the greatness of the heavenly Father that was at work in Him.
Did their indifference render Christ less anointed? No. It instead worked against them.
Familiarity not only breeds contempt, but it also breeds the kind of environment that distances you from the purpose of God for your life.
Today, familiarity has robbed many Christians of the answers they need to get to the next level of success and spiritual growth. They have abused the privilege of proximity. Some mistakenly assume that proximity is access.
In the life of ministry, proximity is not access. Proximity is merely an opportunity for access.
Wisdom requires you to celebrate proximity by honouring it as a means of deeper access. Never consider the minister of God as merely your brother, sister, colleague or countryman. Learn to honour God who is at work in him.
FURTHER STUDY: Luke 4:24, 1 Corinthians 11:26 (MSG)
GOLDEN NUGGET: In the life of ministry, proximity is not access. Proximity is merely an opportunity for access.
PRAYER: My Lord, I thank You for this truth. I receive it with deep humility and allow it to work in my spirit. I honour the anointing because I know what it can do and accomplish in my life. I can never allow familiarity to stand in the way of receiving from any man or woman of God because I understand that it is You that is at work in them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
ENGERI Y’OKUFUNA OKUVA ERI ABAWEEREZA BA KATONDA – 3
Apostle Grace Lubega
Makko 6:4-5 (KJV); Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nnabbi tabulwa kitiibwa wabula mu nsi ye waabwe, ne mu kika kye, ne mu nnyumba ye.” Era teyakolerayo ky’amagero kyonna, okuggyako okussa emikono gye ku balwadde batono, n’abawonya.
Okufuna okuva eri omuweereza wa Katonda, kikulu nnyo okwewala olummanyimmanyi.
Buno bwe bwali obuzibu obutalabika abantu mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo bwe bagwamu. Eri bo, Yesu yali omubazzi, omwana wa Maliyamu, muganda wa Yakobo, ne Yose, ne Yuda ne Simooni.
Baali bakoseddwa era nga balwadde? Mu butuufu baali. Baali balafuubana n’okuyigganyizibwa emizimu? Mu butuufu, baali. Baali beetaaga Katonda okwenyigira mu maka gaabwe? Mu butuufu baali bakwetaaga.
Newankubadde baalina ebyetaago, olummanyimmanyi lwayimirira mu masekkati gaabwe n’ebyamagero bye baali beetaaga ennyo. Baakola ekitaabayamba bwe baalowooza nti Kristo yali musajja wa bulijjo ne banyoomoola obusukkulumu bwa Kitaffe ow’omuggulu eyali akola mu Ye.
Obukyamu bwabwe bwakendeeza ku mafuta ga Kristo? Nedda. Ate bwakosa bo.
Olummanyimmanyi teruzaala kunyoomoola kyokka, wabula luzaala n’embeera ekwawula ku kigendererwa Kya Katonda ekiri ku bulamu bwo.
Olwa leero, olummanyimmanyi lubbye ku Bakristaayo bangi ebyokuddibwamu bye betaaga okutuuka ku ddaala eddala ery’obuwanguzi n’okukula okw’omwoyo. Bakozesezza bubi omukisa gw’okubeera okumpi. Abamu nga tebagenderedde balowooza nti okubeera okumpi kwe kufuna .
Mu bulamu bw’obuweereza, okubeera okumpi ssi kwe kufuna. Okubeera okumpi mwagaanya bwagaanya ogw’okufuna.
Amagezi gakwetaagisa okujaguza okubeera okumpi ng’okussaamu ekitiibwa ng’engeri y’okufuna okw’ebuziba. Toyisanga omuweereza wa Katonda nga muganda wo, mwannyoko, omuntu gwe wenkanankana naye oba mutuuze munno. Yiga okussa ekitiibwa mu Katonda akola mu Ye.
YONGERA OSOME: Lukka 4:24, 1 Abakkolinso 11:26 (MSG)
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Mu bulamu bw’obuweereza, okubeera okumpi ssi kwe kufuna. Okubeera okumpi mwagaanya bwagaanya ogw’okufuna.
ESSAALA: Mukama wange, Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima. Ngaaniriza n’obuwombeefu obungi era ngakkiriza okukola mu mwoyo gwange. Nzisaamu ekitiibwa amafuta kubanga mmanyi kye gasobola okukola n’okutuukiriza mu bulamu bwange. Ssisobola kukkiriza olummanyimmanyi okuyimirira mu kkubo ly’okufuna okuva eri omusajja oba omukazi wa Katonda kubanga ntegeera nti Ggwe okola mu bo. Mu linnya lya Yesu, Amiina.

JINSI YA KUPOKEA KUTOKA KWA WATUMISHI WA MUNGU – 3
Mtume Grace Lubega
Marko 6: 4-5 (KJV); Yesu akawaambia, Nabii hakosi heshima, isipokuwa katika nchi yake mwenyewe, na kwa jamaa zake, na nyumbani mwake. Wala hakuweza kufanya mwujiza wo wote huko, isipokuwa aliweka mikono yake juu ya wagonjwa wachache, akawaponya.
Ili kupokea kutoka kwa mtumishi wa Mungu, ni muhimu kuepuka mazoea.
Hii ilikuwa ndiyo shida ya watu katika andiko letu kuu. Kwao, Yesu alikuwa seremala, mwana wa Mariamu na kaka wa Yakobo, Yose, Yuda na Simoni.
Je! Walikuwa wagonjwa na wenye magonjwa? Kwa kweli, walikuwa nayo. Je! Walikuwa wakipambana na ukandamizaji wa mapepo? Kwa kweli, walikuwa [wakipambana]. Je! Walihitaji msaada wa Mungu katika familia zao? Kwa kweli, walihitaji hivyo.
Licha ya mahitaji yao yote, mazoea ilisimama kati yao na miujiza waliyoihitaji sana. Walijifanyia vibaya sana wakati walidhani kwamba Kristo alikuwa mtu wa kawaida na wakadharau ukuu wa Baba wa mbinguni ambaye alikuwa akifanya kazi ndani Yake.
Je! Kutojali kwao kulifanya upako wa Kristo mdogo? Hapana. Badala yake, kulifanya kazi dhidi yao.
Mazoea haileti tu dharau, mazoea pia huzaa aina ya mazingira ambayo hukutenga mbali na kusudi la Mungu kwa maisha yako.
Leo, mazoea yamewanyima Wakristo wengi majibu wanayohitaji ili kufikia kiwango kingine cha mafanikio na ukuaji wa kiroho. Wametumia vibaya fursa ya ukaribu. Wengine kimakosa hudhani kuwa ukaribu ni ufikiaji.
Katika maisha ya huduma, ukaribu sio ufikiaji. Ukaribu ni fursa tu ya ufikiaji.
Hekima inakuhitaji kusherehekea ukaribu kwa kuuheshimu kama njia ya ufikiaji wa kina. Kamwe usimwone mtumishi wa Mungu kama kaka yako tu, dada yako, mwenzako au mtu wa nchi yako tu. Jifunze kumheshimu Mungu ambaye anafanya kazi ndani yake.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Luka 4:24, 1 Wakorintho 11:26 (MSG)
UJUMBE MKUU: Katika maisha ya huduma, ukaribu sio ufikiaji. Ukaribu ni fursa tu ya ufikiaji.
SALA: Bwana wangu, Nakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Ninaupokea kwa unyenyekevu wa kina na ninau-uruhusu ufanye kazi katika roho yangu. Ninaheshimu upako kwa sababu najua unachoweza kufanya na kutimiza maishani mwangu. Siwezi kamwe kuruhusu mazoea kusimama katika njia ya kupokea kutoka kwa mwanamume yeyote au mwanamke wa Mungu kwa sababu ninaelewa kuwa ni Wewe ndiye unayefanya kazi ndani yao. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
