Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 2:37 (KJV); And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

Our theme scripture gives us a glimpse into the life of Anna the Prophetess. The Bible says that she spent her days in the temple and served God with fastings and prayers, night and day.

This reveals to us that prayer is a form of service to God. In fact, our primary ministry to God is in prayer.

This means that we firstly serve in the closet before we serve elsewhere. This is the same wisdom that enables us to serve with our hearts before we do so with our hands and feet.

Some people are so caught up in serving with their hands and feet and have completely neglected this aspect of service to God. Their zeal outside the closet supersedes their zeal for God.

Today, I urge you to embrace this infallible truth, that prayer is our first place of ministry. Like the saints in Macedonia whom Paul refers to in 2 Corinthians 8:5, you must first give yourself to God, before you give yourself to men in service.

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Corinthians 8:5, Matthew 6:6

GOLDEN NUGGET: Our primary ministry to God is in prayer. We firstly serve in the closet before we serve elsewhere. This is the same wisdom that enables us to serve with our hearts before we do so with our hands and feet.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth and this wisdom. I understand the significance of prayer as my ministry. The Bible says that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. I seek You with all my heart and by this grace, my service is blessed, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Mtume Grace Lubega

Luka 2:37(KJV); Naye ni mjane wa miaka themanini na mine; haondoki katika hekalu, ila huabudu usiku na mchana kwa kufunga na kuomba.

MAOMBI, HUDUMA YETU

Andiko letu kuu linatupa mtazamo katika maisha ya Nabii Anna. Biblia inasema kwamba alitumia siku zake hekaluni na kumtumikia Mungu kwa kufunga na sala, usiku na mchana.

Hii inatufunulia kwamba maombi ni aina ya huduma kwa Mungu. Kwa kweli, huduma yetu ya msingi kwa Mungu iko katika maombi.

Hii inamaanisha kwamba kwanza tunatumikia katika chumba cha ndani kabla ya kutumikia mahali pengine.
Hii ni hekima ile ile inayotuwezesha kuhudumu kwa mioyo yetu kabla ya kufanya hivyo kwa mikono na miguu yetu.

Watu wengine wamejikuta wakihudumu kwa mikono na miguu yao na wamepuuza kabisa kipengele hiki cha huduma kwa Mungu. Bidii yao nje ya chumba cha ndani huzidisha bidii yao kwa Mungu.

Leo, ninawasihi mkubali kweli hii siyo na kosa, kwamba sala ni nafasi yetu ya kwanza ya huduma. Kama watakatifu katika Makedonia ambao Paulo anarejelea katika 2 Wakorintho 8: 5, lazima kwanza ujitoe kwa Mungu, kabla ya kujitoa kwa watu katika huduma.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 2 Wakorintho 8:5, Mathayo 6:6

UJUMBE MKUU: Huduma yetu ya msingi kwa Mungu iko katika maombi. Kwanza tunatumikia katika chumba cha ndani kabla ya kutumikia mahali pengine. Hii ni hekima ile ile inayotuwezesha kuhudumu kwa mioyo yetu kabla ya kufanya hivyo kwa mikono na miguu yetu.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli na hekima hii. Ninaelewa umuhimu wa maombi kama huduma yangu. Biblia inasema kwamba Mungu ni thawabu ya wale wanaomtafuta kwa bidii. Ninakutafuta kwa moyo wangu wote na kwa neema hii, huduma yangu imebarikiwa, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
