Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 6:32-33 (MSG); People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

If you desire to experience very deep intimacy with God, you must learn to detach yourself from your personal needs when you are before God in prayer.

Indeed you may be struggling financially and in need of a job, you may be having issues in a relationship, or your child may be suffering from affliction.

God knows all of that.

But when you get into the presence of God, you are with the All-Sufficient One. How can you be conscious of any lack or need?

The man who can divorce himself from need and still seek God purely to know Him for who He is, is one who has understood the mystery of faith and entered into true rest.

In our theme scripture, the Bible reveals that those that do not know God fuss over certain needs. Inversely, it implies that those who know God or desire to know Him more do not get into their closets with a long list of needs.

A man who knows God or wants to know Him enters God’s presence with his heart and not a list of God-to dos.  His primary need is to understand how he can give his entire heart to God; how to be broken and how to die to his flesh so that he may live unto God.

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 42:1, Psalm 27:4

GOLDEN NUGGET: A man who knows God or wants to know Him enters God’s presence with his heart and not a list of God-to dos.  His primary need is to understand how he can give his entire heart to God; how to be broken and how to die to his flesh so that he may live unto God.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. My Lord, I want to know You more. I choose to seek You, not for what You can do but in response to what You have already done. You are the centre of my life and the beginning and end of my entire existence. I am continually conscious of this reality, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Matayo 6:32-33 (MSG); Abantu abatamanyi Katonda n’engeri gy’akolamu beeraliirikirira ekiteetaagisa mu bintu bino, naye mwe mumanyi Katonda n’engeri gy’akolamu. Teeka obulamu bwo mu mazima ga Katonda, mu ntandikwa ya Katonda, mu bugabirizi bwa Katonda. Teweerarikirira butafuna. Ojja kusanga nga byonna by’ofaako eby’obuntu ebya bulijjo bikoleddwako.

Bw’oba weegomba okufuna enkolagana ey’ebuziba ne Katonda, oteekeddwa okuyiga okweyawula ku byetaago byo eby’obuntu ng’oli mu maaso ga Mukama mu kusaba.

Naye bw’ogenda mu kubeerawo kwa Katonda, obeera n’oyo Kamala-Byonna. Olowooza otya ku bbula oba obwetaavu?

Omuntu asobola okweyawula ku bwetaavu n’asigala ng’anoonya Katonda mu bulongoofu obw’okumumanya ku lw’ekyo ky’ali, y’oyo ategedde ekyama ekikusike eky’okukkiriza era ng’ayingidde mu kuwummula okwa namaddala.

Mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, Baibuli ebikkula nti abo abatamanyi Katonda beeraliirikirira ekiteetaagisa ku bintu ebimu. Mu ngeri endala, kitegeeza nti abo abamanyi Katonda oba abeegomba okumumanya okusingawo tebagenda mu bisenge by’abwe eby’okusaba n’enkalala empanvu ez’ebyetaago.

Omuntu amanyi Katonda oba ayagala okumumanya ayingira okubeerawo kwa Katonda n’omutima gwe sso si n’enkalala z’ebyo Katonda by’alina okukola. Ekyetaago kye ekikulu kwe kutegeera engeri gy’ayinza okuwaayo omutima gwe gwonna eri Katonda; engeri ey’okumenyebwamu n’engeri ey’okufa eri omubiri gwe asobole okubeera omulamu eri Katonda.

Alleluya!

YONGERA OSOME: Zabbuli 42:1, Zabbuli 27:4

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Omuntu amanyi Katonda oba ayagala okumumanya ayingira okubeerawo kwa Katonda n’omutima gwe sso si n’enkalala ez’ebyo Katonda by’alina okukola.

ESSAALA: Kitaffe omwagalwa, Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Mukama wange, njagala okukumanya okusingawo. Nsalawo okukunoonya, si ku lw’ekyo ky’osobola okukola naye mu kwanukula eri ebyo bye wamala okukola. Ggwe massekati g’obulamu bwange era entandikwa n’enkomerero ey’okubeerawo kwange. Bulijjo mbeerawo mu kumanya amazima gano, mu linnya lya Yesu, Amiina.

KUMJUA MUNGU

Mtume Grace Lubega

Mathayo 6:32-33 (MSG); Watu wasiomjua Mungu na jinsi anavyofanya kazi hubishana juu ya mambo haya, lakini ninyi mnamjua Mungu na jinsi anavyofanya kazi. Imarisha maisha yako katika ukweli wa Mungu, mpango wa Mungu, riziki za Mungu. Usijali kuhusu kukosa. Utapata wasiwasi wako wote wa kila siku wa kibinadamu utatimizwa.

Ikiwa unatamani kupata urafiki wa ndani sana na Mungu, lazima ujifunze kujitenga na mahitaji yako ya kibinafsi unapokuwa mbele za Mungu katika maombi.

Hakika unaweza kuwa unatatizika kifedha na unahitaji kazi, unaweza kuwa una matatizo katika uhusiano, au mtoto wako anaweza kuwa anateseka.

Mungu anajua hayo yote.

Lakini unapoingia katika uwepo wa Mungu, unakuwa pamoja na Mwenye Kutosha. Unawezaje kuwa na ufahamu wa ukosefu au hitaji lolote?

Mtu anayeweza kuachana na hitaji na bado akamtafuta Mungu kikamilifu ili kumjua jinsi Yeye alivyo, ni yule ambaye ameelewa fumbo la imani na kuingia katika pumziko la kweli.

Katika andiko letu kuu, Biblia inafunua kwamba wale wasiomjua Mungu hubishana juu ya mahitaji fulani. Kinyume chake, inadokeza kwamba wale wanaomjua Mungu au wanaotamani kumjua zaidi hawaingii vyumbani mwao wakiwa na orodha ndefu ya mahitaji.

Mtu anayemjua Mungu au anayetaka kumjua huingia katika uwepo wa Mungu kwa moyo wake na sio orodha ya mambo ya Mungu ya kufanya. Hitaji lake la msingi ni kuelewa jinsi anavyoweza kutoa moyo wake wote kwa Mungu; jinsi ya kuvunjwa na jinsi ya kufa kwa mwili wake ili apate kuishi kwa ajili ya Mungu.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Zaburi 42:1, Zaburi 27:4

UJUMBE MKUU: Mtu anayemjua Mungu au anayetaka kumjua huingia kwenye uwepo wa Mungu kwa moyo wake na sio orodha ya mambo ya Mungu ya kufanya. Hitaji lake la msingi ni kuelewa jinsi anavyoweza kutoa moyo wake wote kwa Mungu; jinsi ya kuvunjwa na jinsi ya kufa kwa mwili wake ili apate kuishi kwa ajili ya Mungu.

SALA: Baba mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Bwana wangu, nataka kukujua Wewe zaidi. Ninachagua kukutafuta Wewe, si kwa kile unachoweza kufanya bali kwa kuitikia yale ambayo tayari umefanya. Wewe ndiye kitovu cha maisha yangu na mwanzo na mwisho wa uwepo wangu wote. Ninaendelea kufahamu kweli hii, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
