The Phaneroo Devotion: Kairos - Beyond Temptation
Apostle Grace Lubega
Luke 4:13 (KJV); And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Kairos is the realm of opportunity. Because it is, the devil tempts within this very realm because he seeks to rob you of your God-given opportunity.
In our theme scripture, the Greek word used for season is kairos and not chronos. Read with that understanding, the verse says, ‘And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a kairos.’ He came to tempt Christ because he recognised a kairos moment and when his initial mission failed, he left with every intention of returning at the next kairos moment.
Why does the devil tempt in the realm of kairos? It is because that is how he can best interrupt a man’s elevation in the spirit realm.
What you must understand is that the devil has a way of sensing when a man is about to be promoted in the spirit and when God is about to take him to the next level.
He knew that Jesus was about to get into a higher level of ministry and as such, by sensing that time in the spirit, he subjected Him to the temptation in the scriptures. Outrageous as it may seem, but just imagine for a moment where humanity would be if Jesus had turned stones to bread or flung Himself off the pinnacle of the highest mountain?
That is why as a believer, you must be very sensitive in the moments when God wants to elevate you. You must be very alert in those times when God wants to increase his blessings, grace and favour over your life. The devil too is on the lookout and inventive in ways of how to divert your attention from the purpose of God.
By cultivating this sensitivity, you will not miss out on key spiritual milestones.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Matthew 16:23, 1 Peter 5:8
GOLDEN NUGGET: As a believer, you must be very sensitive in the moments when God wants to elevate you. You must be very alert in those times when God wants to increase his blessings, grace and favour over your life. The devil too is on the lookout and inventive in ways of how to divert your attention from the purpose of God. By cultivating this sensitivity, you will not miss out on key spiritual milestones.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this great wisdom. Thank You that with each day, I get much more acquainted with how the spiritual realm works. I am sober-minded, alert and aware. I can never be found to be asleep in the times of my elevation and can never miss out on my spiritual milestones, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
EBIRO EBYATEEKEBWATEEKEBWA – OKUSUKKA KU KUKEMEBWA
Omutume Grace Lubega
Lukka 4:13 (KJV); Setaani bwe yamala buli kikemo n’amulekako ekiseera.
Ebiro ebyateekebwateekebwa y’ensi y’omwagaanya. Kubanga nsi, setaani akemera mu nsi eyo yennyini kubanga anoonya okukubbako omwagaanya ogukuweereddwa Katonda.
Mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, ekigambo eky’oluyonaani ekikozesebwa okutegeeza ekiseera kiri “kairos” (ebiro ebyateekebwateekebwa Katonda olw’ekigendererwa kye) sso si “chronos” (ekiseera ekipimibwa oba ekigerebwa). Soma n’entegeera eyo, olunyiriri lugamba, ‘Setaani bwe yamala buli kikemo n’amulekako ekiseera ekiteeketeeke ku lw’ekigendererwa kya Katonda.’ Y’ajja okukema Kristo kubanga yamanya ekiseera ekyateekebwateekebwa era entegeka ye embereberye bwe yalemwa, yamuleka n’ekigendererwa eky’okukomawo mu kiseera ekirala ekiteeketeeke.
Lwaki setaani akemera mu nsi ey’ekiseera ekiteeketeeke? Ensonga eri nti y’engeri esinga gy’asobola okutaataganyaamu okuyimusibwa kw’omuntu mu nsi ey’omwoyo.
Ky’oteekeddwa okutegeera kiri nti setaani alina engeri y’okumanyaamu ng’omuntu anaatera okuyimusibwa mu mwoyo era ne ddi Katonda lw’anaatera okumutwala ku ddaala eriddako.
Yamanya nti Yesu yali anaatera okugenda ku ddaala erya wagulu mu buweereza era bwatyo, ng’ategedde ebiro ebyo mu mwoyo, yamuteeka mu kukemebwa mu byawandiikibwa. Kyennyamiza nga bwe kiyinzika okulabika, naye teebereza omuntu weyandibaddewo singa Yesu amayinja yagafuula emigaati oba singa yeesuula okuva ku ntikko y’olusozi olusinga obuwanvu?
Eyo y’ensonga lwaki ng’omukkiriza, oteekeddwa okubeera omwegendereza ennyo mu biseera nga Katonda ayagala okukuyimusa. Oteekeddwa okubeera bulindaala nnyo mu biseera ebyo nga Katonda ayagala okwongeza omukisa gwe, ekisa n’okuganja ku bulamu bwo. Setaani naye atunulatunula era anoonya engeri ey’okukyusa endowooza yo okuva ku kigendererwa Kya Katonda.
Mu kuzimba obwegendereza buno, tojja kusubwa mitendera mikulu egy’okukula mu mwoyo.
Alleluya!

KAIROS – ZAIDI YA MAJARIBU
Mtume Grace Lubega
Luka 4:13 (KJV); Basi alipomaliza kila jaribu, Ibilisi akamwacha akaenda zake kwa muda.
Kairos ni uwanja wa fursa. Kwa sababu hiyo, shetani hukujaribu ndani ya eneo hili kwa sababu anataka kukunyang’anya nafasi uliyopewa na Mungu.
Katika andiko letu kuu, neno la Kigiriki linalotumika kurejelea msimu ni kairos na sio chronos. Linaposomwa kwa ufahamu huo, mstari huo unasema, ‘Basi alipomaliza kila jaribu, Ibilisi akamwacha akaenda zake kwa kairos.’ Alikuja kumjaribu Kristo kwa sababu alitambua wakati mteule wa kairos na utume wake wa kwanza uliposhindikana, aliondoka na kila nia ya kurudi wakati wa kairos nyingine.
Kwa nini shetani anajaribu katika eneo la kairos? Ni kwa sababu hivyo ndivyo anavyoweza kukatiza vyema zaidi kuinuliwa kwa mtu katika nyanja za roho.
Unachopaswa kuelewa ni kwamba shetani ana njia ya kuhisi wakati mtu anakaribia kukuzwa katika roho na wakati Mungu anakaribia kumpeleka kwenye ngazi nyingine.
Alijua kwamba Yesu alikuwa karibu kuingia katika kiwango cha juu zaidi cha huduma na kwa hivyo, kwa kuhisi wakati huo katika roho, alimweka kwenye majaribu yaliyosimuliwa katika maandiko. Ingawa inaweza kuonekana kuwa ya kuudhi, hebu fikiria kwa muda mahali ambapo binadamu wangekuwa ikiwa Yesu angegeuza mawe kuwa mkate au kujitupa kutoka kwenye kilele cha mlima mrefu zaidi?
Ndio maana kama mwamini, lazima uwe mwangalifu sana wakati Mungu anataka kukuinua. Ni lazima uwe macho sana katika nyakati zile ambazo Mungu anataka kuongeza baraka, neema na kibali chake juu ya maisha yako. Ibilisi pia yuko macho na ni mbunifu katika njia za kugeuza umakinifu wako kutoka kwa kusudi la Mungu.
Kwa kusitawisha umakinifu huu, hutakosa hatua muhimu za kiroho.
Haleluya!

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa hekima hii kuu. Asante kwa kuwa kila siku, ninafahamiana zaidi na jinsi ulimwengu wa kiroho unavyofanya kazi. Nina akili timamu, nimemakinika na nina ufahamu. Siwezi kamwe kupatikana kuwa nimelala katika nyakati za kuinuliwa kwangu na kamwe siwezi kukosa hatua zangu za kiroho, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
