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.

Prayer is one of the ways we serve God.

Some Christians have narrowed down service to the things they do with their hands and minds, for example ushering, singing in the choir or serving in the administration.

While those are examples of service, they are not the totality of it.

The mindset that assumes that prayer is not a service to God is the same mindset that thinks that prayer should be left to individuals in the ministry referred to as ‘intercessors.’

Some have substituted fellowship with God with the time they serve the ministry in their various capacities. Prayer as a form of service can and should never be substituted for anything.

How do we serve in prayer?

In prayer, God may reveal to you the struggles of brothers and sisters in the church so that you can ease these burdens through intercession. He may show you visions of people in dire situations and hanging on for dear life so that you can pray for them and rebuke death. That is service!

Diligent prayer is diligent service.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Diligent prayer is diligent service.

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for Your instruction. Thank You for broadening my understanding of prayer. I know that it is more than a duty but it is one of the deepest ways that I serve You. I give myself to the Spirit of Prayer and allow Him to dictate the patterns of my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

OKUSABA, OKUWEEREZA KWAFFE ERI KATONDA

Omutume Grace Lubega

Lukka 2:37 (KJV); Naye yali nnamwandu nga yaakamala emyaka kinaana mu ena, ataavanga mu yeekaalu, ng’asinza n’okusiibanga n’okwegayiriranga ekiro n’emisana.

Okusaba y’emu ku ngeri gyetuweerezaamu Katonda.

Abakristaayo abamu bafunziza okuweereza kwabwe ku bintu byebakola n’emikono gyabwe n’ebirowoozo byabwe, eky’okulabirako obukebezi, okuyimba mu basinza oba okuweereza mu bukulembeze.

Yadde ng’ebyo byakulabirako eby’okuweereza, si bwe bujjuvu bwakwo.

Endowooza elowooza nti okusaba si kuweereza eri Katonda ndowooza y’emu elowooza nti okusaba kulina kulekebwa eri abantu mu buweereza abayitibwa ‘abeegayirizi’.

Abamu bawanyisizza enkolagana ne Katonda mu ssaala n’obudde bwebaweereza mu buweereza mu biti byabwe eby’enjawulo. Okusaba ng’engeri y’okuweereza tekusobola era tekuteekeddwa kuwanyisibwa na kintu kirala.

MAOMBI, HUDUMA YETU KWA MUNGU

Mtume Grace Lubega

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

Maombi ni mojawapo ya njia ya kumtumikia Mungu.

Baadhi ya Wakristo wamepunguza huduma kwa mambo wanayofanya kwa mikono na akili zao, kwa mfano kukaribisha, kuimba kwaya au kuhudumu katika utawala.

Ingawa hiyo ni mifano ya huduma, si kwa ujumla wake.

Mtazamo unaodhania kwamba maombi si utumishi kwa Mungu ni mtazamo uleule unaofikiri kwamba maombi yanapaswa kuachiwa watu binafsi katika huduma inayoitwa ‘waombezi.’

Wengine wamebadilisha ushirika na Mungu kwa muda wanaotumikia huduma katika nafasi zao mbalimbali. Maombi kama aina ya huduma hayawezi na kamwe hayafai kubadilishwa na chochote.

Je, tunatumikiaje katika maombi?

Katika maombi, Mungu anaweza kukufunulia shida za ndugu kanisani ili uweze kupunguza mizigo hii kwa maombezi. Anaweza kukuonyesha maono ya watu walio katika hali mbaya na kuning’inia katika maisha yao, ili uweze kuwaombea na kukemea kifo. Hiyo ni huduma!

Maombi ya bidii ni huduma ya bidii.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waefeso 6:18, 2 Wathesalonike 3:1-2

UJUMBE MKUU: Maombi ya bidii ni huduma ya bidii.

SALA: Baba, Ninashukuru kwa mafundisho yako. Asante kwa kupanua uelewa wangu wa maombi. Ninajua kwamba ni zaidi ya wajibu lakini ni mojawapo ya njia za ndani kabisa ambazo ninakutumikia Wewe. Ninajitoa kwa Roho wa Maombi na kumruhusu aamuru mifumo ya maisha yangu, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
