Ministry On The Altar Of Sacrifice – 1
The Phaneroo Devotion: Ministry On The Altar Of Sacrifice - 1
Apostle Grace Lubega
Genesis 22:9-11 (KJV); And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Isaac’s experience is a lesson on true ministry.
The story says that Isaac’s life was spared when God called out to his father Abraham and asked him not to kill his son.
But in fact, Isaac left the altar a dead man. The amplified bible version of Hebrews 11:19 explains this truth. It says, “For he considered [it reasonable to believe] that God was able to raise Isaac even from among the dead. [Indeed, in the sense that he was prepared to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God] Abraham did receive him back [from the dead] figuratively speaking.”
Ministry is an altar.
As ministers of the gospel, our experience on that altar does not leave us half dead. We are not like Ephraim who the Bible says is a cake half-baked (Hosea 7:8). The altar deals with us totally until there is nothing left of our former selves.
Paul, a true minister, says of this experience, ‘I am dead and yet I live yet not I but Christ lives in me’ (Galatians 2:20).
In the life of the gospel, we serve as dead men living.
It is this state of death in the flesh that makes us go to unimaginable lengths for the sake of Christ. It is dead men that pray tirelessly; serve enduringly and believe God as those that have nothing to lose.

GOLDEN NUGGET: In the life of the gospel, we serve as dead men living. It is this state of death in the flesh that makes us go to unimaginable lengths for the sake of Christ. It is dead men that pray tirelessly; serve enduringly and believe God as those that have nothing to lose.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for Your great work in my spirit. You deal with me in unique ways. The testimony of my life is that I am dead but yet I live, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Omutume Grace Lubega
Olubereberye 22:9-11 (KJV); Ne batuuka mu kifo Katonda we yamugamba; Ibulayimu n’azimbira eyo ekyoto, n’atindikira enku, n’asiba Isaaka omwana we, n’amugalamiza ku Kyoto, ku nku. Ibulayimu n’agolola omukono gwe, n’addira akambe okutta omwana we. Ne malayika wa Mukama n’amukoowoola ng’ayima mu ggulu, n’ayogera nti Ibulayimu, Ibulayimu: n’ayogera nti Nze nzuuno.
Ensisinkano ya Isaaka kyakuyiga ku buweereza obw’amazima.
Olugero lugamba nti obulamu bwa Isaaka bwawonyezebwa Katonda bweyayita kitaawe Ibulayimu n’amugamba obutatta mutabani we.
Naye mu mazima, Isaaka yava ku kyoto nga muntu mufu. Baibuli eya Amplified mu Abaebbulaniya 11:9 ennyonnyola amazima gano. Egamba, ” Yakitwala [nga kigwaana okukkirizibwa] nti Katonda yali asobola okumuzuukiza okuva mu bafu. [Era ddala, mu kutegeera nti yali amaliridde okussadaaka Isaaka mu kugondera Katonda] Ibulayimu yamufuna nate [okuva mu bafu] mu njogera ey’okukozesa obubonero okutegeeza amazima amekusifu.”
Obuweereza Kyoto. Nga abaweereza b’enjiri, ensisinkano yaffe ku kyoto ekyo tetuleka nga tuli bafu ekitundu. Tetuli nga Efulayimu Baibuli gwayogerako nti mugaati omufebeko ekitundu (Koseya 7:8). Ekyoto kitukwasaganya okutuusa nga teri kisigaddemu eky’obulamu bwaffe obw’edda.
Pawulo, omuweereza omutuufu, ayogera ku nsisinkano eno, ‘Ndi mufu naye ate mulamu naye sinze wabula Kristo omulamu mu nze’ (Abaggalatiya 2:20)
Mu bulamu bw’enjiri, tuweereza nga abantu abafu naye nga balamu. Embeera eno ey’okufa mu mubiri yetuleetera okugenda ewala ekitalowoozebwa ku lwa Kristo. Abantu abafu bebasaba obutakoowa; baweereza obutawanika era bakkiriza Katonda ng’abo abatalina kyakufiirwa.
YONGERA OSOME: Abaebbulaniya 11:9, Abaggalatiya 2:20
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Mu bulamu bw’enjiri, tuweereza nga abantu abafu naye nga balamu. Embeera eno ey’okufa mu mubiri yetuleetera okugenda ewala ekitalowoozebwa ku lwa Kristo. Abantu abafu bebasaba obutakoowa; baweereza obutawanika era bakkiriza Katonda ng’abo abatalina kyakufiirwa.
ESSAALA: Kitange omwagalwa, Nkwebaza olw’amazima gano. Webale ku lw’omulimu omunene mu mwoyo gwange. Onkwasaganya mu ngeri ez’enjawulo. Obujuluzi bw’obulamu bwange buli nti ndi mufu naye ate mulamu, mu linnya erya Yesu Amiina.
OBUHEEREZA AHA ITAMBIRO RY’EKITAMBO I
Entumwa Grace Lubega
Okutandika 22:9-11; Ku baahikire omu mwanya ogu Ruhanga amugambiire, Abrahamu yaayombekayo eitambiro, yaariteekyeraho enku, yaaboha Isaaka omwana we, yaamugarika aha itambiro aha nku. Abrahamu yaakununkirira omusyo kurezya omutabani. Maraika wa MUKAMA yaayema omu iguru, yaamweta ati: Abrahamu! Abrahamu! Yaayetaba ati: Nyamuhanga!
Eki Isaaka yarabiremu n’ekyegyeso aha buheereza obuhikire.
Ekitebyo nikigamba ngu amagara ga Isaaka gakariindwa Ruhanga kuyayetsire ishe Abrahamu kandi akamushaba kutaita mutabani we.
Kwonka omu mazima, Isaaka akaruga aha itambiro eryo ari omuntu ofiire. Baiburi ya Amplified ya Abaheburaayo 11:19 neshoborora amazima aga. Negira eti, “ahakuba akateekateeka (nk’eky’omugasho kwikiriza) ngu Ruhanga akaba nabaasa kuzoora Isaka kuruga omu kufa. (Omu mazima ekirikumanyisa ngu akaba ayetegwiire kuhonga Isaaka arikworobera Ruhanga) Abrahamu akamwakiira (kuruga omubafu) okukishoborora tutyo.
Obuheereza ni itambiro
Nk’ababuurizi b’engiri, ekiturikurabamu aha itambiro eryo tikirikutureka kufa omu bicweeka. Tituri nka Efuraimu ou Baiburi erikugira eti nink’omugaati ogutahindwirwe. (Hosea 7:8). Itambiro nirikoragana naitwe mpaka hataine kitsigairemu eky’amagara gaitu ag’enyima.
Paulo omuheereza ohikire, nagamba aha kintu eki ati, ‘Nkafa; tinkiri nyowe ori, kureka Kristo niwe ari omuriinye’ (Abagalatia 2:20)
Omu magara g’engiri, nituheereza nk’abantu bafiire kwonka abaine amagara.
N’omuringo gw’okufa ogu omu mubiri ogurikuturetera kuhika hare ahabwa Kristo. N’abantu bafiire abarikushaba batarikuruha; abarikuheereza n’okugumisiriza kandi bakaikiriza Ruhanga nk’abataine kibarikufeerwa.
SHOMA NEEBI: Abaheburaayo 11:19, Abagalatia 2:20
EZAABU: Omu magara g’engiri, nituheereza nk’abantu bafiire kwonka abaine amagara. N’omuringo gw’okufa ogu omu mubiri ogurikuturetera kuhika hare ahabwa Kristo. N’abantu bafiire abarikushaba batarikuruha; abarikuheereza n’okugumisiriza kandi bakaikiriza Ruhanga nk’abataine kibarikufeerwa.
OKUSHABA: Taata omukundwa, ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. ninkusiima ahabw’omurimo gwaawe omukuru omu mwoyo wangye. Nokoragana nanye omu miringo y’omutaano. Obujurizi bw’amagara gangye buri ngu nkafa kwonka mpurire, omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.
OBUHEREZA H’AKYOTO KY’EBYONZIRA I
Omukwenda Grace Lubega
OKUBANZA 22:9-11 (KJV); Kandi bahika omu kiikaro Ruhanga ekiyamugambireho; Iburahimu yayombeka oku ekyoto, yahingika enku, yaboha Isaka omwanawe, yamugaramya ha kyoto ha nku. Iburahimu yago’ra omukonogwe, yakwata omuhyo okusara omwanawe. Maraika wa MUKAMA yamwami’ra nayema omu iguru, nagamba ati Iburahimu, Iburahimu, yagamba ati Dara nyowe.
Ebya Isaka yarabiremu isomo ly’obuhereza obuhikire.
Oruganikyo nirugamba ngu obwomezi bwa Isaka bukakizibwa Ruhanga obu yayamiriire ise Iburahimu kandi yamusaba obutaita omutabani.
Baitu amananu gali, Isaka akaruga hakyoto ali mufu. Empindura eyetumbya omu Bahebburaniya 11:19 nesoborra kurungi amazima ganu. Negamba, ” Akarora [kihikire okwikiriza] ngu Ruhanga anyina obusobozi okuhumbuura Isaka okuruga mubafu. [Mananukwo, omubulyo ngu akaba ayetekaniize kuhonga Isaka obu nayorobera Ruhanga] Iburahimu akamuhabwa [kuruga omu bafu] nimbaliza omubikusisanaisana.
Obuhereza buba kyoto.
Nk’abahereza ba Ruhanga, ebiturabamu hakyoto ekyo tibitukabya. Tituli nka Efurahimu ogu ou Baibuli eyeta omugaati ogukonere (Hoseya 7:8). Ekyoto kitukorraho kimu mubwijuire okuhikiza kimu obu tutasigarwamu kantu koona ak’omuntu outwali enyuma.
Paulo omuhereza ow’amazima, abazaaho binu ” Nkafwa baitu nyomire, kunu tali nyowe, rundi Kristo ayomire omuli nyowe” (Abagaratiya 2:20).
Omubwomezi bw’enjiri tuhereza nkabafu ab’omiire.
Kuli kufa kunu okwomubiri okutuketereza kugenda omubiraihire habw’enjiri. Bali bantu abafiire abasaba obutajwaha; bahereza omukugumisiriza kandi baikiriza Ruhanga nk’abatakutiina kufeerwa kintu kyona.
GALIHYA N’OSOMA: Abahebburaniya 11:19, Abagaratiya 2:20
EBIKURU MUBYOONA: Omubwomezi bw’enjiri tuhereza nkabafu ab’omiire.Kuli kufa kunu okwomubiri okutuketereza kugenda omubiraihire habw’enjiri. Bali bantu abafiire abasaba obutajwaha; bahereza omukugumisiriza kandi baikiriza Ruhanga nk’abatakutiina kufeerwa kintu kyona.

HUDUMA YA MADHABAHU KUHUSU DHABIHU I
Mtume Grace Lubega
Mwanzo 22:9-11 (KJV); Wakafika mahali pale alipoambiwa na Mungu, Ibrahimu akajenga madhabahu huko, akaziweka tayari kuni, kisha akamfunga Isaka mwanawe, akamweka juu ya madhabahu, juu ya zile kuni. Ibrahimu akanyosha mkono wake, akakitwaa kisu ili amchinje mwanawe. Ndipo malaika wa BWANA akamwita kutoka mbinguni, akasema, Ibrahimu Ibrahimu! Naye akasema, Mimi hapa.
Uzoefu wa Isaka ni somo kuhusu huduma ya kweli.
Simulizi hii inasema kwamba maisha ya Isaka yaliokolewa wakati Mungu alipomwita baba yake Ibrahimu na kumwomba asimuue mwanae.
Lakini kwa kweli, Isaka alitoka katika madhabahu mtu aliyekufa. Toleo la Biblia la Amplified lililotajwa la Waebrania 11:19 linaelezea ukweli huu. Inasema, “Kwa maana aliona [ni busara kuamini] kwamba Mungu aliweza kumfufua Isaka hata kutoka miongoni mwa wafu. [Hakika, kwa maana kwamba alikuwa tayari kumtoa Isaka sadaka kwa kumtii Mungu] Ibrahimu alimpokea [kutoka kwa wafu] akizungumza kwa mfano.”
Huduma ni madhabahu.
Kama watumishi wa injili, uzoefu wetu katika madhabahu hayo hautuachi nusu wafu. Sisi sio kama Efraimu ambaye Biblia inasema ni keki iliyookwa nusu (Hosea 7: 8). Madhabahu yanatushughulikia kabisa mpaka hakuna kilichobaki cha nafsi zetu za zamani.
Paulo, mtumishi wa kweli, anasema juu ya uzoefu huu, ‘Nimekufa na bado naishi bali siishi lakini Kristo anaishi ndani yangu’ (Wagalatia 2:20).
Katika maisha ya injili, tunatumikia kama wafu wanaoishi.
Ni hali hii ya kifo katika mwili ambayo inatufanya twende kwa urefu usiofikirika kwa ajili ya Kristo. Ni watu waliokufa wanaosali bila kuchoka; hutumikia kwa kudumu na kumwamini Mungu kama wale ambao hawana cha kupoteza.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waebrania 11:19, Wagalatia 2:20
UJUMBE MKUU: Katika maisha ya injili, tunatumikia kama wafu wanaoishi. Ni hali hii ya kifo katika mwili ambayo inatufanya twende kwa urefu usiofikirika kwa ajili ya Kristo. Ni watu waliokufa wanaosali bila kuchoka; hutumikia kwa kudumu na kumwamini Mungu kama wale ambao hawana cha kupoteza.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Asante kwa kazi Yako kuu katika roho yangu. Unanishughulikia kwa njia za kipekee. Ushuhuda wa maisha yangu ni kwamba nimekufa lakini bado ninaishi, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

Jesus Christ is the vine and we are His branches. Without Him, we can do nothing.
God is in search of a man with a perfect heart.
Jacob understood the power of the promises of God. When faced with the possibility of an attack from his brother, he reminded God about His promise to do him good and make his seed as the sand of the sea.
As a believer, you must have an effective altar of prayer.
Faith, by its nature, does not minister questions, it edifies.
When you read the scriptures, it is important that you do not only receive them as information for your mind but also build a relationship with them.
Many men and women of God have suffered disrespect and humiliation at the hands of those who did not understand the distinction that God placed on their lives.
When God teaches a man, chastises his spirit, moulds his personality, and defines his assignment, it is never for the benefit of that man alone.
