Of Mantles
The Phaneroo Devotion: Of Mantles
Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Kings 19:19 (KJV); So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
Mantles are grown into. One does not automatically function in the full glory of a mantle simply because it has been cast upon him.
Take the example of Elisha in our theme scripture. When Elijah cast the mantle upon him, he did not immediately become the great prophet we came to know.
There was a process to it. It means that there are patterns and principles by which a man fully functions in the mantle that is upon his life.
For Elisha, one of the things he had to learn was not to ‘kiss his father and mother’. It means that the mantle will demand priority over certain connections in your life. If those connections are more important, you will not grow in that mantle.
Elisha also had to learn the importance of service. Service is one of the avenues through which mantles grow. If a man does not learn to serve in his mantle, he will abuse the glory and anointing that comes with that mantle.
Lastly, the mantle demanded growth in vision. Elijah told him, “if you see me go.” (2 Kings 2:10). This was more than just merely seeing him being taken but seeing him in light of who he was in the spirit. When the chariots of fire came down from heaven, Elisha’s vision had been elevated enough for him to see Elijah as he truly was, “the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof.” (2 Kings 2:12).
Remember this, child of God, that simply because there is a mantle upon your life, it does not mean that you will fully operate in its glory. Understand the principles by which we grow into mantles.

GOLDEN NUGGET: Simply because there is a mantle upon your life, it does not mean that you will fully operate in its glory. Understand the principles by which we grow into mantles.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I know that You have called me to greatness. Your hand and Your glory is upon my life. I make the decision to never take what You have given me for granted but to cultivate it and to grow in wisdom. Many lives are changed because of the great call of God upon my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
KU BIKWATA KU MINAGIRO
Omutume Grace Lubega
1 Bassekabaka 19:19 (KJV); Awo n’avaayo n’asanga Erisa mutabani wa Safati eyali ng’alima ng’alina mu maaso ge emigogo gy’ente kkumi n’ebiri, ye ng’alina ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri: awo Eriya n’asomoka okugenda gy’ali n’amusuulako omunagiro gwe.
Eminagiro bakulamu mikule. Omuntu tamala gatambulira mu kitiibwa ekijjudde eky’omunagiro lwakuba gumuweereddwa.
Twala eky’okulabirako kya Erisa mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo. Eriya bwe yamusuulako omunagiro, Teyafuukirawo nnabbi ow’amaanyi gwe tumanyi kati.
Waaliwo emitendera ku kyo. Kitegeeza nti waliwo enkola n’ennono omuntu z’ateekeddwa okugoberera okusobola okutambulira mu bujjuvu bw’omunagiro oguli ku bulamu bwe.
Eri Erisa, ekimu ku bye yalina okuyiga kyali ‘butanywegera kitaawe ne nnyina’. Kitegeeza nti omunagiro gujja kukwetaagisa okugusoosoowaza okusinga enkolagana ezimu mu bulamu bwo. Enkolagana ezo bwe ziba nga zigusinga obukulu, tojja kukula mu munagiro ogwo.
Erisa yalina n’okuyiga omugaso gw’okuweereza. Obuweereza kimu ku myagaanya eminagiro mwe gikulira. Omuntu bw’atayiga kuweerereza mu munagiro gwe, ajja kuvvoola ekitiibwa n’amafuta agajjira ku munagiro ogwo.
Ekisembayo, omunagiro gwali gumwetaagisa okukula mu ndaba. Eriya yamugamba “bw’ondaba nga ngenda.” (2 Bassekabaka 2:10). Kino kyali kisinga ku kumulaba obulabi ng’atwalibwa wabula okumulabira mu kitangaala ekya ki kye yali mu mwoyo. Amagaali ag’omuliro bwe gakka okuva mu ggulu, endaba ya Erisa yali eyimusiddwa ekimala ye okulaba Eriya nga bwe yali ddala, “amagaali ga Isiraeri n’embalaasi ze.” (2 Bassekabaka 2:12).
Jjukira kino, mwana wa Katonda, nti okubeera ng’olina omunagiro ku bulamu bwo, tekitegeeza nti ojja kutambulira mu bujjuvu bw’ekitiibwa kyagwo. Tegeera ennono ze tukuliramu mu minagiro.
YONGERA OSOME: 1 Bassekabaka 19:20, 2 Bassekabaka 2:10-12
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okubeera ng’olina omunagiro ku bulamu bwo, tekitegeeza nti ojja kutambulira mu bujjuvu bw’ekitiibwa kyagwo. Tegeera ennono ze tukuliramu mu minagiro.
ESSAALA: Kitange, Nkwebaza ku lw’Ekigambo kino. Nkimanyi nti ompitidde busukkulumu. Omukono Gwo n’ekitiibwa Kyo biri ku bulamu bwange. Nsalawo obutatwala n’olumu by’ompadde ng’ebitaliimu naye okubyeyongeramu n’okukula mu magezi. Obulamu bw’abantu bangi bukyusibwa ku lw’okuyitibwa kwa Katonda okukulu okuli ku bulamu bwange. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

1 Abagabe 19:19; Atyo yaarugayo, yaashanga Elisa mwene Shafati naahingisa ente makumi abiri na ina ezikomeraine ibiri-ibiri omu mishorongo ebiri, zimuri omumaisho, kwonka we aine ibiri ezirikuhereerukayo; Eliya yaakiikama; ku yaabaire naamurabaho, yaamunagaho omunagiro gwe.
Amajuta nigwakurirwamu. Omuntu tarikubaasa kurahuka kukorera omu kitiinisa kijwiire ky’amajuta ahabw’okuba gamuhairwe.
Twara eky’okureeberaho kya Elisa omu mutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu. Eliya kuyamuhaire omunagiro, tararahukire kuba nabi mukuru owutwaizire kumanya.

Elisa akeega omugasho gw’okuheereza. Okuheereza nikumwe aha bintu ahu amajuta burikukura. Omuntu yaba ateegire kuheereza omu majuta gye, nazakukwaata kubi ekitiinisa n’amajuta ebirikwiija n’amajuta ago.
Ekyahamuheru, amajuta nigetagisa okukura omu kirooto. Eliya akamugira ati, “ku orandeebe ninkwihwaho.” (2 Abagabe 2:10). Eki kikaba nikikira aha kumureeba natwaarwa kureka okumureebera omu kiti kiyabaire ari omu mwoyo. Embaraasi n’ebigaari by’omuriro kubyarugire omu Iguru, ekirooto kya Elisa kikatunguurwa munonga kwenda ngu akareeba Eliya nk’okuyabaire ari, “Ebigaari bya Israeli n’embaraasi zaayo.” (2 Abagabe 2:12).
Ijuka eki, mwana wa Ruhanga we, okugira amajuta aha magara gaawe tikirikumanyisa ngu noza kugyendera omubwijwiire bw’ekitiinisa ekyo. Yetegyereza engyendererwa ezirikuretera twakura omu majuta.

The gospel is not good news if it does not apply to ALL men.
When most people think of the faithfulness of God, it is in line with the things that He has done.
God has not called us to seek Him in vain.
Effective prayer requires that you understand the covenant under which you are. If you pray with an old covenant mindset in a new covenant dispensation, you will frustrate the expected results of prayer.
It is God’s desire that you prosper in every aspect of your life.
The Christian church started from Solomon’s porch. A porch is quite a small part of a building. In fact, there is nothing grand or large about it.
There is an anointing that works by the gift and there is an anointing that works by the wisdom of God upon the life of a man.
God is in the business of elevating His children.
Sometimes, when things of God are easily available and accessible to us, there is a tendency to take them for granted. Familiarity indeed breeds contempt for them.
If you want to grow as a Christian, it can never be overemphasized that you must put the Word of God first.
