Job 3:25-26(AMP); For the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me, and that of which I am afraid befalls me. I was not or am not at ease, nor had I or have I rest, nor was I or am I quiet, yet trouble came and still comes [upon me].

There are people in this life who are skilled in the art of discussing their problems. They jump from one sympathizer to the next airing their grievances with no sense of discrimination whatsoever. That is not the path of the wise.

This does not mean you should not have confidants. It is a good thing to have people you confide in but you cannot be the kind of person who confides in everyone and who hops from place to place discussing your pain, your fears or your failures.

That sort of habit is a real recipe for trouble to befall you. Job, in our theme scripture testifies to this. He says, ” I was not or am not at ease, nor had I or have I rest, nor was I or am I quiet, yet trouble came and still comes [upon me].” He was never quiet about his fears and spoke about them needlessly.

When you give trouble too much attention, you attract it into your life.

There are demons that thrive on attention. The more you speak about an issue, the worse it becomes. You must learn to ignore the enemy.

Paul tells Timothy, “endure hardship like a good soldier.” (2 Timothy 2:3).

Part of the strength of a great warrior is the fortitude demonstrated by silence: you don’t have to announce your pain to the whole world.

Walk in the quiet confidence of a true warrior.

GOLDEN NUGGET: Part of the strength of a great warrior is the fortitude demonstrated by silence: you don’t have to announce your pain to the whole world. You must learn to ignore the enemy.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I embrace this knowledge as a true warrior for the kingdom. Because I carry inner strength, I live quiet and confident from the fear of evil. My lips are for praise and grace and never give the enemy attention. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

2 Chronicles 20:15(KJV) And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

There is a difference between a war and a battle. A war is a collection of battles. The war is on the large scale while battles are on a smaller scale. For example, in the first world war, there were a series of battles such as the battle of Verdun, of Jutland, of Cambrai and many others.

Like it is in the physical realm, so it is in the spiritual realm. The Christian’s war is the fight of faith to believe that everything was finished at the cross of Calvary. The battles are the trials and tests that come our way to prove our faith.

In the wisdom of warfare, God has not called us to fight battles but to fight wars. Our weapons are not for battle, they are for warfare. The battle belongs to the Lord.

Sadly however, many Christians are caught up in battles. They are fighting battles with disease, legal battles over property, battles in the upbringing of their children, battles in relationships and battles in ministry. It is a classic case of majoring in the minor and minoring in the major.

As a result, many are wounded and bleeding because they forgot that these were not for them to fight.

If you understand our true war, which is the fight of faith, you will rest through the battles because you understand that they are for God to fight.

Are you struggling in any area of your life, rest in God because that battle is for Him to fight. Trust that it is finished and sit back and enjoy your victory ride.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: If you understand our true war, which is the fight of faith, you will rest through the battles because you understand that they are for God to fight.

KUFANYA VITA, SI KUPIGANA VITA

Mtume Grace Lubega

2 Mambo ya Nyakati 20:15 (KJV) akasema, Sikieni, Yuda wote, nanyi mkaao Yerusalemu, na wewe mfalme Yehoshafati; BWANA awaambia hivi, Msiogope, wala msifadhaike kwa ajili ya jeshi kubwa hili; kwani vita si yenu bali ni ya Mungu.

Kuna tofauti kati ya kufanya vita na kupigana vita. Kufanya vita ni mkusanyiko wa kupigana vita. Kufanya vita kuko katika kiwango kikubwa wakati kupigana vita kuko katika kiwango kidogo. Kwa mfano, katika vita vya kwanza vya ulimwengu, kulikuwa na safu ya vita kama vile vita vya Verdun, Jutland, Cambrai na zingine nyingi.

Kama ilivyo katika ulimwengu wa mwili, ndivyo ilivyo katika ulimwengu wa kiroho. Vita vya Mkristo ni pambano la imani kuamini kwamba kila kitu kilimalizwa kwenye msalaba wa Kalvari. Vita hivyo vingine ni majaribio na mitihani ambayo hutoka nje ili kudhibitisha imani yetu.

Katika hekima ya vita, Mungu hajatuita kupigana vita bali kufanya vita. Silaha zetu sio za kupigana vita, bali za kufanya vita. Vita vya kupigana ni vya Bwana.

Kwa kusikitisha, Wakristo wengi wanashikwa kwa kupigana vita. Wanapigana vita na magonjwa, vita vya kisheria juu ya mali, vita katika malezi ya watoto wao, vita katika uhusiano na vita katika huduma. Ni kesi kuu ya kufanya makuu yaliyo madogo na kufanya madogo yaliyo makuu.

Mwishowe, wengi wanajeruhiwa na kuvuja damu kwa sababu walisahau kuwa hizi sio za kupigana.

Ukielewa vita vyetu vya kweli, ambayo ni vita ya imani, utapumzika kupitia vita vingine vyote kwa sababu unaelewa kuwa ni vya Mungu kupigana.

Je! Una shida katika eneo lolote la maisha yako, pumzika kwa Mungu kwa sababu vita hivyo ni vyake kupigana. Tumaini kwamba imekamilika na kaa chini na ufurahie safari yako ya ushindi.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 1 Yohana 5: 4, Isaya 9: 5

UJUMBE MKUU: Ukielewa vita vyetu vya kweli, ambayo ni vita ya imani, utapumzika kupitia vita vingine vyote kwa sababu unaelewa kuwa ni vya Mungu kupigana.

SALA: Baba, nakushukuru kwa Neno hili. Ninakumbatia ukweli wake na hutembea katika ukweli wake. Ushindi ni wangu na huu ndio ujasiri ambao ninaishi nao maisha yangu. Macho yangu yanakuangalia Wewe ambaye umemaliza yote na kamwe kwa hali yangu ya sasa. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

Apostle Grace Lubega

Acts 17:23(KJV); For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

Ancient Greece, before the birth of philosophy, lived by a mythological world view. They had gods like Zeus, Apollo, Hera and Athene among others. 

To have an “unknown God” in such a society was truly a paradox in spirituality.

How did such men with centuries steeped in mythology build an altar, offer sacrifices and worship an UNKNOWN God? To answer this question, one would have to look carefully at the just criticisms of the theology of the time by the likes of Xe-nophanes.

What the Greeks had done was to create gods in the image of men resembling mortals in character and disposition, prone to pettiness and revenge. They created gods in their likeness and gave them human egos and human character attributes.

God could only be unknown to such people if He was unknown in CHARACTER and PERSONALITY. 

It is a tragedy of the faith; that the Church today, though centuries away from the men at Areopagus, is still close to them in ignorance of the God they claim to worship. 

Men know He exists but are far from the knowledge of His character and personality: the God of love, mercy, kindness and unending compassion. 

For example, when men fall ill and our pulpits declare that it is the will of God, it is because He is worshipped yet unknown. Unknown in character, unknown in personality.

When failure follows some like a dark shadow, and our pulpits proclaim that God willed so, it is because the God worshipped is still unknown. Unknown in character and nature.

He says in Daniel 11:32 that those that know their God shall do exploits. Healing is an exploit and as such a testimony to the God we know. Success is an exploit and a testimony to the God we know. Growth is an exploit and a testimony to the God we know.

God is a good God! In Him is no shadow of turning. It is time our pulpits denounced the unknown God and gave allegiance to the Good God, the God we know!

Hallelujah!

Apostle Grace Lubega

Acts 17:23(KJV); For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

God can never be known to you if He is one among many.

This was the dilemma of the men that Paul met at Athens. They had many other gods and the “unknown God” was merely a number among others.

God can only be known to those that not only have Him as their priority but also understand that He is the only God over their lives.

There are Christians for whom God is classified alongside their jobs, businesses, spouses, children, cars, houses, mobile phones and even their ministries. They think they are worshipping the one and only true God despite the other priorities in their lives that dominate their time.

To such, He is still the unknown God because you cannot seek Him with all your heart and He remains unknown; you cannot give Him all your attention and He remains unknown; you cannot lose all things for His sake and He remains unknown.

The more time you devote to other things outside the presence of God, the less known He is to you.

God wants you to know Him but to do that He must not be one among many. You must examine your life and how you spend your time. If you truly desire to know Him then He must have all your attention.

His name be praised.

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 17: 15-16(KJV); And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

In this life of salvation, there are people who settle for less than what God desires for them. For example, in our theme scripture, nine lepers settled for healing and only one received wholeness.

How did the Samaritan leper receive wholeness?

Our Lord and saviour asked the lepers to go to the High Priest and show themselves to Him and as they went, they were cleansed. The Samaritan understood that Christ was a priest in the Melchizedek order and He turned back to Him while the rest proceeded to go and show themselves to the priest under the levitical order.

Wholeness comes with the true revelation of who Christ is. This knowledge becomes a future garrison against any attacks of the enemy.

It is a good thing to be prayed for so that you receive your miracle. But receiving a miracle today does not mean that you will never be attacked by disease again as long as you live. Wholeness is the guarantee that if disease is to ever come, you have the revelation to triumph because you know who is in you.

It is a wonderful thing to be prayed for so you get a job. But that prayer does not mean that you will walk out of the clutches of poverty. Wholeness is what guarantees that the grace of divine providence will work continually in your life.

God wants to give you more than a job, a business deal or healing from that sickness. He wants you to know Him because in knowing Him, you receive more than a miracle but the source of miracles. That is wholeness!

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 7:17, Ephesians 1:17-19

GOLDEN NUGGET: God wants to give you more than a job, a business deal or healing from that sickness. He wants you to know Him because in knowing Him, you receive more than a miracle but the source of miracles. That is wholeness!

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I live in the patterns of wholeness. Divine health and divine providence are mine. Fullness is mine. Strength is mine. I have the source of all good things because you are in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega

Proverbs 22:3(KJV); A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

It is simplicity to tumble needlessly into the hands of evil. You should not live a life that is so open to wickedness that you always find yourself as the object of constant pain and trouble.

That is why God gave us wisdom. A wise man foresees evil and hides himself while the simple man becomes a victim of it.

In Proverbs 1:4, the Bible says that wisdom gives subtility to the simple. The world is a hostile place to those who do not know God. Wisdom shows us the hows of existence.

Faith is not naivety as some assume.

In assigning his disciples to the task of reaching the lost, Christ gave them a lesson in subtility. In Matthew 10:16, He says, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”

There are Christians who have lost their lives in the work of ministry, not because it was their time to depart from the body but because they lack this subtility.

They made the right statements in the wrong places; they fought battles that were not theirs to fight; zeal took them to places that the Spirit of God did not want them to go into.

The subtility of the wise teaches you where to go and where not to. It shows you whom to partner with and whom to avoid. It shows you what path to take and which path to stay out of.

FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 1:4, Matthew 10:16

GOLDEN NUGGET: The subtility of the wise teaches you where to go and where not to. It shows you whom to partner with and whom to avoid. It shows you what path to take and which path to stay out of.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this wisdom. It is my reality and I walk in it every day. I know how to thrive in even the most dangerous places because I have the subtility of the wise. I know what to speak in the most violent environments because I am prudent in spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Peter 1:8(KJV); Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

It is a fact that many Christians in their walk of salvation have not seen Christ in the flesh. He has not appeared to them in visions or spoken to them in dreams. Nonetheless, they believe, trust and rely on Him as the risen Lord.

The Message Version of our theme scripture relates, “You never saw him, yet you love him. You still don’t see him, yet you trust him–with laughter and singing.”

It is this same expression of faith that God expects us to have in all areas of our lives.

For example, take the issue of health. If you receive the prayer of faith for your healing, do you need a machine to re-check you and confirm that you are truly healed? That is for the immature. When a mature spirit truly believes that he is healed, he does not even need a doctor’s report as a stamp of confirmation of the report of the Lord.

If you have not seen Christ in the body but still believe, in the same way, you don’t need to be put through a machine again to know that you are healed.

A mature spirit does not need evidence. He has not seen, but nevertheless rejoices with joy unspeakable.

This applies to your finances, to your ministry, to your marriage and relationships and to any aspect of your life.

Faith is all the evidence that you need. As long as you have believed, rejoice like one in possession of what you desire. Don’t wait for what you see, hear or feel to move you, let faith move you.

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7

GOLDEN NUGGET: Faith is all the evidence that you need. As long as you have believed, rejoice like one in possession of what you desire.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I am built up and strong in faith, giving glory to God. I carry the material of faith in my spirit and with it I live every detail of my life. In this understanding, I walk in perpetual victory. To the glory of Your name, Amen.

ENDABA Y’OKUKKIRIZA

1 Peteero 1:8 (KJV ); Gwe mwagala nga temunaba kumulaba: gwe mutalaba kaakano naye mumukkiriza, ne mujaguza essanyu eritayogerekeka, eririna ekitiibwa:

Kituufu nti Abakristaayo bangi mu lugendo lwabwe olw’obulokozi tebalabye Kristo mu mubiri. Tabalabikidde mu kwolesebwa yadde okwogera n’abo mu birooto. Naye era bamukkiriza, bamwesiga era n’ebeesigama ku Ye nga Mukama eyazuukira.

Eno y’engeri y’emu ey’okwolesaamu okukkiriza, Katonda gy’atusuubira okuba nayo mu mbeera z’obulamu bwaffe bwonna.

Eky’okulabirako twala ensonga ey’ebyobulamu bwo singa bubeera obukosefu.

Omuntu akuze mu mwoyo bwaba nga ddala akkiriza nti awonyezeddwa, aba teyeetaaga bbaluwa ya musawo nga sitampu ekakasa okutuukirizibwa kw’Ekigambo kya Katonda.

Bw’oba nga tonnaba kulaba Kristo mu mubiri naye n’osigala ng’okyakkiriza, mu ngeri y’emu teweetaaga kuddamu kukeberebwa mu kyuma okumanya nti owonyezeddwa.

Apostle Grace Lubega

James 1:22(KJV); But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

The Greek word for “doers” in our theme scripture is “poiētēs” which is translated to mean, among other things, “a poet.”

A poet is a person who makes something out of words. He knows how to weave with beautiful skill the fabric of words to produce beauty.

That is how God expects us to be with His own Word!

The Lord has made great and wondrous promises to us in the scriptures. He has told us who we are and what we can do in Him. We are heads and not tails, above and not beneath. We are the light of the world, a city on a hill that cannot be hid. We are stars, shining brighter and brighter unto a perfect day. The Bible is full of line upon line of endless possibilities.

What are you doing with such beautiful material?

Some people have heard these words over and over but they are not poets of the Word! Even when they are in dire situations that only the Word can beautify, they are silent in their misery and passive in affliction.

A poet is vigilant in expression. Silence is not an art form. You must do something with the Word.

If disease dares to come, get a hold of the Word and weave some poetry. “By his stripes, I was healed. Disease is shackled in the past and has no gateway into my present and future.”

If situations dare to question your identity, arise in scriptural poetry and declare, “I am the offspring of divinity, not blood-begotten, not flesh-begotten but God-begotten!”

The Word is near you, it is in your mouth (Romans 10:8) and in it is the answer to that situation. Speak it! Declare it! Own it! Walk in it! Paint your world in it!

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Romans 10:8, Philemon 1:6

GOLDEN NUGGET: A poet of the Word is vigilant in expression. Silence is not an art form. You must do something with the Word.
Speak it! Declare it! Own it! Walk in it! Paint your world in it!

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I receive it in my spirit and walk in its manifestation. My world is a Word-world. The Bible says that by faith we know that that the worlds were made by the Word of God. I fashion my world with Your Word, I define its streets, its buildings and its systems with the Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 21:22(KJV); And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

The spirit of faith has no disqualification clauses.

Faith has no disqualifications because it is a liberty in God. The only check by God on these liberties is that they should not be used as a cloak of maliciousness but in service to God (1 Peter 2:16).

The Bible says whatsoever you ask in prayer believing. It does not qualify this statement and say, “when you have done all the right things in the eyes of God.” It does not say, “when you have fasted and prayed for forty days.”

Some people shackle the liberties of and in faith because, in their minds, they have already qualified it. Why should you restrict that which God in His wisdom has not restricted?

Moreover, the greatest disqualification is themselves. They make statements such as “I AM not clean enough”, ” I have not prayed enough”, “I AM not anointed enough.”

Because God cannot stand disqualifications on faith, He went ahead and dealt with you as a possible restriction and says, that you are dead and yet you live but it is Christ who lives in you and the life that you live is by the faith of Christ and not your faith(Galatians 2:20).

When we say, “stretch your faith”, it means that you should not allow any restrictions to it, whether they are restrictions of self or restrictions of circumstances. Choose to believe God beyond the voice of personal limitations and the voice of the storms around you.

His name be praised!

FURTHER STUDY: Galatians 2:20, 1 John 5:4

GOLDEN NUGGET: Faith has no disqualifications because it is a liberty in God. Choose to believe God beyond the voice of personal limitations and the voice of the storms around you.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I am a child of faith and I walk in it as the testimony of my life. Today, I stretch my faith muscles, trusting in You beyond what I see, think or feel. Nothing moves me but Your Word. Nothing shakes me but Your counsel in my spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

OKUKKIRIZA, EDDEMBE ERY’OBWEBANGE

Lakwena Grace Lubega

Matayo 22:21(KJV): Ne byonna byonna bye munaayagalanga nga musaba, nga mukkiriza, munaabiweebwanga.

Omwoyo w’okukkiriza talina bukwakkulizo obw’okugaanibwa.

Okukkiriza tekusobola kugaanibwa kubanga ddembe ery’obwebange mu Katonda.
Akakwakkulizo ka Katonda kokka ku ddembe lino kali nti teririna kukozesebwa ng’ekisaanyizo ky’okwonoona naye lirina kukozesebwa mu kuweereza Katonda.(Petero 2:16)

Baibuli egamba nti byonna byonna bye munaayagalanga nga musaba, nga mukkiriza. Tewagira ŋŋombo eno nga egamba, “bw’onakola ebintu byonna ebituukiride mu maaso ga Katonda.” Tegamba nti, “bw’onaba ng’osiibye era n’osaba ennaku ana.”

Abantu abamu bakugira eddembe ery’obwebange ery’okukkiriza era eriri mu kukkiriza kubanga mu ndowooza zaabwe baasaanyiza dda okukugirwa okwo. Lwaki oba okugira ekyo Katonda mu Magezi Ge kyatataddeko kukugirwa?

Kyokka ate eky’embi , okugaanibwa okusinga kwe bbo bennyini. Bakozesa eŋŋombo ezifaananako bwe ziti, “SSIRI mulongoofu kimala”, “SSI sabye kimala”, “SSI fukiddwako mafuta Kimala.”

Kubanga Katonda tasobola kugumiikiriza kugaanibwa kwa kukkiriza, Yagenda mu maaso n’akwasaganya ggwe, kubanga wali ggwe kennyini osobola okuba okukugirwa kw’okukkiriza kwo, era agamba nti ggwe wafa wamu ne Kristo; naye oli mulamu; ssi ku bubwo nate, naye Kristo ye mulamu mu ggwe: era obulamu bw’olina kaakano mu mubiri, obulina lwa kukkiriza kw’Omwana wa Katonda so ssi kukkiriza kwo. (Abaggalatiya2:20)

Bwetugamba, “gaziya okukkiriza kwo”, kitegeeza nti tolina kukkiriza kukugirwa kwonna ku kwo, kakube okukugirwa okuva ku ggwe wennyini oba okukugirwa okw’embeera. Salawo okukkiriza Katonda okussukuluma ku ddoboozi ly’okukugirwaakwo era n’eddoboozi ery’emiyaga egikwetoolodde.
