Free For God – 1
The Phaneroo Devotion: Free For God - 1
Apostle Grace Lubega
Matthew 10:34-35 (MSG); Don’t think I’ve come to make life cozy. I’ve come to cut– make a sharp knife-cut between son and father, daughter and mother, bride and mother-in-law–cut through these cozy domestic arrangements and free you for God.
There are many things that make some people too busy for God. These may be relationships, jobs, businesses or opportunities that come our way.
There is a man whose only excuse for not attending service is because he is too busy with his new business. It is his baby and as such requires constant parental attention.
There is a woman out there who cannot spend time in the presence of God because her job keeps her too busy. She wakes up too early and returns home too late to give her God a second thought.
Sometimes, when God is pruning us, He separates us from those things that take too much of our time while pushing Him out of our priorities.
The Lord must come first.
Never allow yourself to get too busy for God. Be deliberate about this. Do not build your faith around your schedules. Build your schedules around your faith. If something demands your time, always ask yourself if it comes at the cost of time that must be spent with God or in service to Him.
Your busy schedules did not shed their blood for you; they do not give you life, God does.
His name be praised.
FURTHER STUDY: Jeremiah 29:13, Psalm 119:10
GOLDEN NUGGET: Do not build your faith around your schedules. Build your schedules around your faith. If something demands your time, always ask yourself if it comes at the cost of time that must be spent with God or in service to Him.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this word. You have my attention. I put You in front of all that I do because You are all that matters. I refuse anything to stand in the way of my devotion to You. This is the story of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Mattayo 10:34-35 (MSG); Mutatekereza ngu nyizire kworobya obwomezi. Nyizire kusara–kusara n’empirima eyobwogi– hagati y’aisemwana n’omutabani, nyinamwana n’omuhara, omugole omukazi na nyinazaara — kutemera kimu zinu enkoragana z’omuka nukwo mbafole b’obugabe habwa Ruhanga.

HURU KWA MUNGU – 1
Mtume Grace Lubega
Mathayo 10:34-35 (MSG); Usifikiri nimekuja kufanya maisha kuwa ya starehe. Nimekuja kukata– kukata kisu chenye ncha kali kati ya mwana na baba, binti na mama, bibi-arusi na mama mkwe–upanga unaopitia mipango hii ya nyumbani yenye kupendeza na kukuweka huru kwa ajili ya Mungu.
Kuna mambo mengi ambayo yanawafanya baadhi ya watu kuwa na shughuli nyingi kwa ajili ya Mungu. Haya yanaweza kuwa mahusiano, kazi, biashara au fursa zinazokuja kwetu.
Kuna mtu ambaye kisingizio cha pekee cha kutohudhuria ibada ni kwa sababu anashughulika sana na biashara yake mpya. Ni mtoto wake na hivyo anahitaji uangalifu wa mara kwa mara wa wazazi.
Kuna mwanamke huko nje ambaye hawezi kutumia muda katika uwepo wa Mungu kwa sababu kazi yake humfanya awe na shughuli nyingi sana. Huamka mapema sana na kurudi nyumbani akiwa amechelewa sana kumpatia Mungu wake wazo la pili.
Wakati fulani, Mungu anapotupogoa, hututenganisha na yale mambo yanayochukua muda wetu mwingi huku tukimsukuma nje ya vipaumbele vyetu.
Bwana lazima aje kwanza.
Usijiruhusu kamwe kuwa na shughuli nyingi kwa ajili ya Mungu. Kuwa na makusudi kuhusu jambo hili. Usijenge imani yako kulingana na ratiba zako. Jenga ratiba zako kulingana na imani yako. Ikiwa kitu kinadai wakati wako, jiulize kila wakati ikiwa kinakuja kwa gharama ya wakati ambao lazima utumike na Mungu au katika huduma kwake.
Ratiba zako za shughuli nyingi hazikumwaga damu yao kwa ajili yako; hazikupi uzima, Mungu ndiye anakupa.
Jina lake lihimidiwe.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yeremia 29:13, Zaburi 119:10
UJUMBE MKUU: Usijenge imani yako kulingana na ratiba zako. Jenga ratiba zako kulingana na imani yako. Ikiwa kitu kinadai wakati wako, jiulize kila wakati ikiwa kinakuja kwa gharama ya wakati ambao lazima utumike na Mungu au katika huduma kwake.
SALA: Baba, Nakushukuru kwa neno hili. Una mawazo yangu. Ninakuweka mbele ya yote ninayofanya kwa sababu Wewe ndiye unayefaa zaidi. Ninakataa chochote kusimama katika njia ya kujitolea kwangu Kwako. Hii ni hadithi ya maisha yangu. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

The birth of Christ reminds us that God is with us.
When we choose God, it is because of who He is and not what He can do for us.
The life of salvation and ministry to God is not a temporary assignment from which you can jump simply because you feel tired, unappreciated or frustrated.
Our Lord is a righteous God. This righteousness is His nature and the essence of His person.
How often do people settle for less because they do not understand this truth? How many times do they get comfortable with mediocrity or whatever it is that life hands them because they do not believe in El Shaddai?
It is a blessing to serve God. In our service to Him, it is He who is doing us a great favour and not vice versa.
The Word of God is a cleanser.
When God prunes you, the third thing He deals with (after your will and spiritual understanding) is your intellect.
When God prunes you, the first thing He deals with is your will. The second thing is your place of understanding.
Pruning is a form of consecration by God. The first thing that He consecrates is your will.
