The Phaneroo Devotion: Rivers Of Pleasure - In His Presence
Apostle Grace Lubega
Psalm 36:8 (KJV); They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
Why do some people struggle to pray? Why is it easy for them to spend hours watching television but cannot tarry with the Lord for more than ten minutes? Why are they always anxious to get out of the presence of God and attend to other pursuits in their individual lives?
It is because, for these men, the presence of God is not a source of pleasure.
This is not how God wants you to regard His presence. He wants you to desire Him more than a sitcom on your television or more than hours spent in a restaurant catching up with friends.
In our theme scripture, the Bible speaks of the river of His pleasures. These rivers are in His presence.
David experienced these rivers. When he did, he thirsted for God, in the same way, a deer pants for water. It made him declare, ‘one thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple‘ (Psalm 27:4).
Prayer is not a duty. A wise man once said that love is a better master than duty.
Fall in love with the presence of God; it is the ultimate source of pleasure.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 42:1, Psalm 27:4
GOLDEN NUGGET: Prayer is not a duty. Love is a better master than duty. Fall in love with the presence of God; it is the ultimate source of pleasure.
PRAYER: My Father, I thank You for this word. Thank You for the pleasure of who You are. I am a lover of Your presence and yield myself to it daily. Nothing satisfies me more than hearing Your voice and feeling Your touch. This is the story and testimony of my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ENSULO Z’ESSANYU- MU KUBEERAWO KWE
Omutume Grace Lubega
Zabbuli 36:8 (KJV); Banakkusibwanga ddala obugevvu obw’ennyumba yo. Era onoobanywesanga ku mugga ogw’essanyu lyo.
Lwaki abantu abamu balafuubana okusaba? Lwaki kyangu bbo okumala essaawa nga balaba terefayina naye nga tebasobola kutuula mu kubeerawo ne Mukama okumala eddakiika kkumi? Lwaki babeera bawulira nnyo nga baagala okuva mu kubeerawo kwa Katonda okukola ebintu ebirala mu bulamu bwabwe obwa ssekinnoomu?
Kiri kityo kubanga, eri abantu bano, okubeerawo kwa Katonda ssi nsibuko ya ssanyu.
Eno ssi y’engeri Katonda gy’ayagala otwalemu okubeerawo Kwe. Ayagala omwagale okusinga akazannyo akali ku terefayina oba okusinga essaawa z’omala webaliira emmere ng’oli ne mikwano gyo.
Mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, Baibuli eyogera ku mugga ogw’essanyu Lye. Emigga gino giri mu kubeerawo Kwe.
Dawudi yafuna ensisinkano y’emigga gino. Bwe yagifuna, yafuna ennyonta ya Katonda, mu ngeri y’emu, empeewo bw’eyaayaanira amazzi ag’okunwya. Kyamuleetera okulangirira, ‘Ekigambo kimu nkisabye Mukama, kye naanoonyanga; Okutuulanga mu nnyumba ya Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange, okutunuuliranga obulungi bwa Mukama, n’okubuuzanga mu yeekaalu Ye’ (Zabbuli 27:4).
Okusaba ssi mulimu. Omuntu omu omugezi yagamba nti okwagala mukulembeze asinga omulimu .
Gwa mu mukwano n’okubeerawo kwa Katonda; ye nsibuko eya ddala ey’essanyu.
Alleluya!
YONGERA OSOME: Zabbuli 42:1, Zabbuli 27:4
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okusaba ssi mulimu. Omuntu omu omugezi yagamba nti okwagala mukulembeze asinga omulimu. Gwa mu mukwano n’okubeerawo kwa Katonda; ye nsibuko eya ddala ey’essanyu.
ESSAALA: Kitange, Nkwebaza olw’ekigambo kino. Weebale ku lw’essanyu ly’oli. Ndi mwagazi w’okubeerawo kwo era neewaayo gye kuli buli lunaku. Tewali kimala ng’okuwulira eddoboozi Lyo era n’okuwulira okukwatibwako okukwo. Luno lwe lugero era obujjulizi bw’obulamu bwange, mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

Zaaburi 36:8; Baryaigutira kimwe ebishaagaine eby’omu nju yaawe; Kandi oryabanywaisa aha mugyera gw’eby’okushemererwa byawe.
Ahabw’enki abantu abamwe nibabonabona n’okushaba? Ahabw’enki niboroberwa kureebera obutambi obwiire buraingwa kwonka batarikubaasa kuguma na Mukama kurenzya edakiika ikumi? Ahabw’enki nibaba bashemereirwe kuruga omu maisho ga Ruhanga bakaha obwiire ebintu ebindi omu magara gaabo nk’abantu?

Omu mutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu, Baiburi negamba aha migyera y’eby’okushemererwa bye. Emigyera egi eri omu kuba omu maisho gye.
Daudi akahikwaho emigyera egi. Kukyamubaireho, akagira ekyaka kya Ruhanga, omu muringo gumwe, nk’oku empala egira ekyaka neyenda amaizi. Kikamuretera yarangirira, ati
‘Ekigambo eki nshabire MUKAMA ni kimwe, Kandi nikyo ndiguma ninsherura; Nikwo kuguma omu nju ya MUKAMA ebiro byona eby’amagara gangye, Okureeba oburungi bwa MUKAMA, n’okwehanuuza omuri hekalu ye’ (Zaaburi 27:4).
Okushaba ti murimo. Omunyabwengye omwe akagira ati okukunda n’omwegyesa murungi kukira omurimo.
Gira omukago n’okuba omu maisho ga Ruhanga; nibwo bukomooko bw’ebirikushemeza ebirikukirayo.

EBISAARU BY’OKUSEMERERWA – OMU KUBAHOKWE
Omukwenda Grace Lubega
Zabuli 36:8 (KJV); Baligutira kimu ebyebisajwa ebyomunju yawe; Iwe olibanywisa ha kyambu ekyokusemererwa kwawe.
Habwaki abantu abamu bafuba n’okusaba? Habwaki kyanguhire halubo okumara obwire bwingi nibarora ebisisani hamigera baitu tibasobora kwikara mumaisa ga Mukama okuhingura edakiika ikumi? Habwaki baikara nibesunga okuruga omukubaho kwa Ruhanga nukwo bagende omu bintu byabu ebikubakwataho omu bwomezi bwabu?
Kiri habwokuba, habw’abantu banu, okubaho kwa Ruhanga teri nsoro y’okusemererwa.
Ruhanga tinukwo atyo akugonza otwaze okubahokwe. Nagonza nuwe oyegombe okukira obuzaano obwa hamugera rundi okukira obusumi obwokumara omu kiikaro ky’okwesemerezaamu hamu n’enganjani zaawe.
Omukyahandikirwe kyaitu eky’omutwe, Baibuli ebazaaho ekisaaru ky’okusemererwa’kwe. Ebisaaru binu biri omu kubahokwe.
Daudi akabaho mubisaaru binu. Obu yabairemu, akaruhukira Ruhanga, omu mulingo nugwo gumu, oku empara egira iroho ly’amaizi. Kikamuletera kurangirra, ‘Ekigambo kimu nkisanire MUKAMA, nikyo ndase’raga; Okuikaraga omu nju ya MUKAMA ebiro byona ebyobwomezi bwange,
Okurora oburungi bwa MUKAMA, nokuhabuza omu yekaruye’ (Zabuli 27:4).
Okusaba tiguli mugugu. Kalimagezi ekiro kimu akagamba engonzi ziba nyampara murungi okukira obujunanizibwa bw’omulimo.
Gonza okubaho kwa Ruhanga; nukwo nsoro y’amasemererwa yonka.

MITO YA RAHA – UWEPONI MWAKE
Mtume Grace Lubega
Zaburi 36:8 (KJV); Watashibishwa kwa unono wa nyumba yako, Nawe utawanywesha mto wa furaha zako.
Kwa nini baadhi ya watu hupambana kuomba? Kwa nini ni rahisi kwao kutumia saa nyingi kutazama televisheni lakini hawawezi kukaa na Bwana kwa zaidi ya dakika kumi? Kwa nini huwa na shauku ya kutoka katika uwepo wa Mungu na kushughulika na mambo mengine katika maisha yao binafsi?
Ni kwa sababu, kwa watu hawa, uwepo wa Mungu si chanzo cha furaha.
Hivi sivyo Mungu anataka uzingatie uwepo wake. Anataka umtamani zaidi ya tamthilia za vichekesho kwenye televisheni yako au zaidi ya saa unazotumia kwenye mgahawa kukutana na marafiki.
Katika andiko letu la mada, Biblia inazungumza juu ya mto wa raha zake. Mito hii iko mbele zake.
Daudi alipitia mito hii. Alipofanya hivyo, aliona kiu ya Mungu, vivyo hivyo ayala anatamani maji. Ilimfanya atangaze, ‘Neno moja nimelitaka kwa BWANA, ndilo nitakalolitafuta; ili nikae nyumbani mwa BWANA siku zote za maisha yangu, niutazame uzuri wa BWANA, na kutafakari hekaluni mwake’ (Zaburi 27:4).
Sala si wajibu. Mtu mwenye busara aliwahi kusema kuwa upendo ni bwana bora kuliko wajibu.
Penda uwepo wa Mungu; ndio chanzo kikuu cha raha.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Zaburi 42:1, Zaburi 27:4
UJUMBE MKUU: Maombi si wajibu. Upendo ni bora kama bwana kuliko wajibu. Penda uwepo wa Mungu; ndio chanzo kikuu cha raha.
SALA: Baba yangu, Nakushukuru kwa neno hili. Asante kwa furaha ya kuwa ulivyo. Mimi ni mpenda-uwepo Wako na ninajitolea kwako kila siku. Hakuna kinachoniridhisha zaidi ya kusikia sauti Yako na kuhisi mguso Wako. Hii ndiyo hadithi na ushuhuda wa maisha yangu, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
