It Is A Way Issue
The Phaneroo Devotion: It Is A Way Issue
Apostle Grace Lubega
Acts 22:4 (KJV); And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
The fight between proponents of the doctrine of grace and those of the law is a way issue. In our theme scripture, Paul speaks of how he persecuted ‘this way’. In Acts 9:2, the Bible explains how he had gone to the High Priest, desired him of letters to Damsacus so that if he found any man or woman of ‘this way’ he would bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Those that stand for the law believe that the WAY to the Father is through what a man does by his own works.
Those that stand for grace, believe that the WAY to the father is through Christ and Him alone.
The former group believes that God expects us to work out our salvation and by looking at our works, He rewards us accordingly.
The latter group believes that Christ finished the ultimate work at Calvary and it is only by faith in Him that we are justified to stand before the Father.
When the Lord says that He is the way (John 14:6), it means that grace is the way. We choose this way because we are conscious of the infallible truth that without God, we cannot justify ourselves through our works and that Christ alone rendered us fit and deserving of all God has to offer.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: John 14:6, Romans 3:24
GOLDEN NUGGET: When the Lord says that He is the way, it means that grace is the way. We choose this way because we are conscious of the infallible truth that without God, we cannot justify ourselves through our works and that Christ alone rendered us fit and deserving of all God has to offer.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this knowledge. Thank You for the priceless sacrifice of Calvary. Thank You for Your grace, the true way to the Father. I embrace it as my reality and my truth, knowing and fully conscious that I can never do enough to justify myself before You. I believe that what Christ did was enough and it is on Him that I lean entirely, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Ebikolwa By’Abatume 22:4 (KJV); ne njigganyanga ab’Ekkubo lino n’okubatta, nga mbasibanga era nga mbateekanga mu makomera abasajja n’abakazi.
Olutalo oluli wakati w’abo abali ku luuyi lw’enjigiriza ey’ekisa n’abo ab’etteeka nsonga ya kkubo. Mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo, Paulo ayogera ku ngeri gye yayigganyanga ‘ab’ekkubo lino’. Mu Ebikolwa By’Abatume 9:2, Baibuli ennyonnyola engeri gyeyagenda eri kabona asinga obukulu, ng’amusaba ebbaluwa ez’okugenda e Ddamasiko nti bw’alirabayo omusajja oba omukazi yenna ‘ow’ekkubo lino’ yandibaleese ng’abasibe e Yerusaalemi.
Abo abalwanirira etteeka bakkiriza nti EKKUBO erikutuusa eri Kitaffe liri mu kuyita mu ki omuntu ky’akola n’ebikolwa bye.
Abo abali ku luuyi lwe kisa, bakkiriza nti EKKUBO erikutuusa eri Kitaffe liri mu kuyita mu Kristo era Ye yekka.

Ekibinja ekisembayo kikkiriza nti Kristo yamaliriza omulimu omukulu e Kaluvaliyo era kiri lwa kukkiriza kwokka mu Ye lwetuweebwa obutuukirivu okuyimirira mu maaso ga Kitaffe.
Mukama bw’agamba nti Ye ly’Ekkubo (Yokaana 14:6), kitegeeza nti ekisa ly’Ekkubo. Tusalawo ekkubo lino kubanga tutegeera amazima agatabuusibwabuusibwa nti awatali Katonda, tetusobola kuweebwa butuukirivu olw’ebikolwa byaffe era nti Kristo yekka y’eyatufuula abasaanira era abagwanira byonna Katonda by’alina okutuwa.
Alleluya!
YONGERA OSOME: Yokaana 14:6, Abaruumi 3:24
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Mukama bw’agamba nti Ye ly’Ekkubo, kitegeeza nti ekisa ly’Ekkubo. Tusalawo ekkubo lino kubanga tutegeera amazima agatabuusibwabuusibwa nti awatali Katonda, tetusobola kuweebwa butuukirivu olw’ebikolwa byaffe era nti Kristo yekka y’eyatufuula abasaanira era abagwanira byonna Katonda by’alina okutuwa.
ESSAALA: Kitange omwagalwa, Nkwebaza ku lw’okumanya kuno. Weebale olwa saddaaka etaliiko muwendo eye Kaluvaliyo. Weebale olw’ekisa Kyo, ekkubo ery’amazima okudda eri kitaffe.

Okurwaana okuri ahagati y’abatonganirizi b’enyegyesa y’embabazi hamwe n’eyebiragiro n’enshonga y’omuhanda. Omu mutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu, Paulo nagamba aha kuyahiganiise ‘omuhanda ogu’. Omu kitabo ky’Ebyakozirwe Entumwa 9:2, Baiburi neshoborora oku yagiire ow’omunyamurwa omukuru akamushaba kuhandiikira sinagogi za Damasiko ebaruha ngu, ku araashangyeyo abarikwikiriza eby’Omuhanda ogwo, yaaba abashaija nari abakazi, abatware Yerusaalemu babohirwe.

NI SUALA LA NJIA
Mtume Grace Lubega
Matendo 22:4 (KJV); Nikawaudhi watu wa Njia hii hata kuwaua, nikawafunga, nikiwatia gerezani, wanaume na wanawake.
Mapambano kati ya watetezi wa fundisho la neema na wale wa sheria ni suala la njia. Katika andiko letu kuu, Paulo anazungumza jinsi alivyotesa ‘njia hii’. Katika Matendo 9:2, Biblia inaeleza jinsi alivyokwenda kwa Kuhani Mkuu, akamwomba barua za kwenda Damasko ili kwamba akimpata mwanamume au mwanamke yeyote wa ‘njia hii’ amlete Yerusalemu akiwa amefungwa.
Wale wanaosimamia sheria wanaamini kwamba NJIA ya kwenda kwa Baba ni kupitia yale anayofanya mtu kwa matendo yake mwenyewe.
Wale wanaosimama kwa ajili ya neema, wanaamini kwamba NJIA ya kwenda kwa Baba ni kupitia Kristo na Yeye pekee.
Kundi la awali linaamini kwamba Mungu hutarajia tufanyie kazi wokovu wetu na kwa kutazama kazi zetu, Yeye hututhawabisha ipasavyo.
Kundi la mwisho linaamini kwamba Kristo alimaliza kazi ya mwisho pale Kalvari na ni kwa imani ndani yake tu ndipo tunahesabiwa haki ya kusimama mbele za Baba.
Bwana anaposema kwamba Yeye ndiye njia (Yohana 14:6), ina maana kwamba neema ndiyo njia. Tunachagua njia hii kwa sababu tunafahamu ukweli usiokosea kwamba bila Mungu, hatuwezi kujihesabia haki kupitia matendo yetu na kwamba Kristo pekee ndiye aliyetufanya tustahili yote ambayo Mungu anatupa.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yohana 14:6, Warumi 3:24
UJUMBE MKUU: Bwana anaposema kuwa Yeye ndiye njia, ina maana kwamba neema ndiyo njia. Tunachagua njia hii kwa sababu tunafahamu ukweli usiokosea kwamba bila Mungu, hatuwezi kujihesabia haki kupitia matendo yetu na kwamba Kristo pekee ndiye aliyetufanya tustahili yote ambayo Mungu anatupa.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa ufahamu huu. Asante kwa dhabihu isiyokadirika ya Kalvari. Asante kwa neema yako, njia ya kweli ya kwenda kwa Baba. Ninaikubali kama hali yangu halisi na ukweli wangu, nikijua na kufahamu kikamilifu kwamba siwezi kamwe kufanya vya kutosha ili kujihesabia haki mbele Zako. Ninaamini kwamba kile Kristo alifanya kilitosha na ni Kwake ninayemtegemea kabisa, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

Every man in this world has a price tag.
In the previous devotion, we discussed the truth that every nation is under some form of yoke and the fact that as a body of Christ, we have a responsibility to bring nations under the yoke of Christ.
Every nation is under some kind of yoke. Our theme scripture reveals one such instance when it says that there was a time when certain nations were under the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon.
When describing the relationship that He shared with Moses, the Lord God says, in Numbers 12:8, “
Jesus Christ is the Minister of the Sanctuary. As the Minister of the Sanctuary, His primary ministry to every child of God is not what He must do through you but what He must do in you.
God wants to do great things in the lives of His children. He wants to teach them, promote them, elevate them, lead them and transform them.
There are people in this life of the gospel whose sole desire is to be appointed to stand at an altar but without understanding the responsibility that comes with the appointment.
Jesus was often followed by multitudes. Scripture explains in one instance that for a period of three continuous days, they were with him as he preached and ministered. Here were men, women and children seemingly oblivious to their hunger that it took the compassion of the master to meet the need for food for their bodies (Matthew 15:32).
The life of Rehoboam is an enduring lesson in the motives that drive people’s relationship with God. It is a lesson worth noting because many people assume that they are genuine in their pursuit of intimacy with God yet they are the farthest thing from genuine.
The context of our theme scripture is that David was on the run, fleeing for his life from Saul.
