The Word Of His Joy

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 15:11 (KJV); These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

When the Word of God is received in our spirits, it fills us with joy.

This fullness of joy is not the joy that comes and passes with the changing times.

The fullness of joy is that which never passes away. That joy is always alive within us every day of our lives.

The Bible calls it the Joy of the Lord.

In 1 John 1:1-4 we understand that the Word of God ministered to our spirits brings the fullness of the joy of the Lord.

It says, “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.”

When Christ is revealed by the Word of God, joy comes in our spirits. That very joy of the Lord is our strength. (Nehemiah 8:10).

Even when storms come, rejoice because you have the Word. When fire comes, dance with joy! When negative situations arise, they cannot flush out our joy because you carry His Word.

Child of God, embrace the Word of God and never let anything rob you of your joy. For the Word of His promise shall never fail! Hallelujah!

When Christ is revealed by the Word of God, joy comes in our spirits. That very joy of the Lord is our strength.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I thank you for your Joy in my life. Thank you for your Word, by which we have received it. I choose to be joyful in you all the days of my life. For the Joy of the Lord is my strength. In every situation, I will be joyful, and unfazed by circumstance, but comforted on every side. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Knowledge Is Time

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 13:15 (KJV); For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; LEST AT ANY TIME they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Timing on the earth is different from time in the spirit. Time in the spirit is not limited to seconds, hours and days.

God has framed eternity in such a way that time in the spirit realm is demarcated and defined by knowledge.

That means that the difference between who you are now and who you shall be tomorrow is the knowledge that is revealed to your spirit.

The time factor in eternity responds to knowledge.

Our theme scripture says, “lest AT ANY TIME they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”

The sight, hearing, understanding and conversion in this scripture all come by the knowledge of God and His Word.

The more you know in God, the faster and more easily you get results.

For this reason, we INVEST in KNOWLEDGE and the STUDY of the scriptures. We invest in getting UNDERSTANDING and in the things of the Spirit.

We invest time in the presence of God and in allowing God to teach us through the Word. Hallelujah!

Knowing this, I choose to invest in knowledge. I thank you because you work in me everyday to desire wisdom and understanding and to increase in it. I rejoice because my life reflects the results of the Word of God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Blessing of Righteousness

Apostle Grace Lubega

Romans 4:6 (AMP); Thus David congratulates the man and pronounces a blessing on him to whom God credits righteousness apart from the works he does.

In our salvation, there are blessings that follow other blessings or are received because of other blessings.

One of those blessings is the blessing of the righteousness imputed to us without our works.

The Bible says that the man unto whom God imputes His righteousness is blessed. David, as indicated in our theme scripture saw that man by the Spirit and congratulated him.

The blessing of righteousness does not merely give you the privilege of fixing a simple problem you might have. It defines your destiny and course because you are the righteousness of God.

It is the foundation of our persuasion about the things that must follow us.

Child of God, be persuaded of His love toward you, that He will never leave you, nor forsake you.

Be persuaded of your ministry that it shall not be cut short, but it shall move from glory to glory.

Be convinced that God is perfecting that which concerns you.

Be persuaded and rejoice that you will make it in this life, and that your testimony shall be great in Jesus, name!

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of righteousness imputed to me. I thank you because that blessing of righteousness assures me that it shall be well with me. I am persuaded that I shall finish well. It is well with my business. It is well with my ministry. It is well with my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Purity of Mind

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Peter 3:1 (KJV); This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your PURE MINDS by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour

As a child of God, you have been begotten of the incorruptible Word of truth (1 Peter 1:23).

Because you have, you hear the Word and respond to the things of the Spirit with a purity of mind and heart.

The purity of mind that the Apostle Peter writes about here is deeper than that which relates to the moral uprightness of a man.

The purity herein is that which responds to the things of the Spirit in the manner that they ought to be responded to.

This purity causes you to observe spiritual truths and interpret them as they ought to be interpreted.

There are Christians who have spiritual experiences and absolutely misinterpret what they see.

Some may have not seen or heard anything but have been convinced by a deceptive spirit that they saw some things or heard God pertaining to certain issues. It is purity of mind to have precision in spiritual sight and never to have a wrong stand on visions.

When God gives a man visions, purity of mind causes that man to see what he sees AS HE MUST SEE IT and not only what he merely desires to see in the spirit realm. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

When God gives a man visions, purity of mind causes that man to see what he sees AS HE MUST SEE IT and not only what he merely desires to see in the spirit realm.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for this Word. It is working in my life. I thank you because I see as I must see and interpret truth as it ought to be interpreted by your Spirit. My footsteps are guided by you. My vision is defined by you. My mind and heart are purified. I am mindful of your word and instruction in every area of my life. In Jesus name. Amen.

Christ Above The Elements: Beyond The Physical Body

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 22:19-20 (KJV); And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Christ takes on forms that are in themselves elements.

Because these elements eventually melt (2 Peter 3:10), it is an error to tag the identity of the Christ to them.

In our theme scripture, the bread was an element and this bread represented the body of Christ.

The bread, which was an element was broken and this was the same experience of the bruising and crashing of His body.

When explaining His manifestation in the flesh, the Bible says “And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.”(John 1:14 AMP).

It was not intended that Christ should walk and minister in the body forever because His body was an element.

That is why He said, “It is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you].” (John 16:7 AMP).

This is why we no longer regard the Christ in the flesh (2 Corinthians 5:16) and look at the Christ ABOVE THE ELEMENT OF HIS PHYSICAL BODY who is the person of the Word in breadth, height, length, width and depth. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:Colossians 1:26-27, Romans 6:3-5

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Christ takes on forms that are in themselves elements. Because elements eventually melt (2 Peter 3:10), it is an error to tag the identity of the Christ to them.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your salvation. I thank you for the truths you reveal to me every day. Today, I choose to look past the forms through which the Christ ministers to His very person. I behold the broadness of His person in the Word, His depth, Height and lengths. As I behold, I become. I am broadened by the Word, launched deeper by the word and elevated higher by the Word. In the name of Jesus. Amen!

Christ Above The Elements: Forms

Apostle Grace Lubega

Galatians 4:9 (KJV); But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

When a man is not born again, he is subject to the elements of this world.

For us who have received Christ, the scriptures remind us that we are no longer subject to any such elements (Galatians 4:3).

The word elements as used in our theme scripture is translated as “stoicheion” in the Greek to mean among other things, “the material causes of the universe.”

When a man is under the elements, he easily relates with the MATERIAL WORLD because it is governed by predictable material causes.

In the same way, many Christians have become attached to a God, or to a Christ who appears in material elements.

They build monuments of the forms that the Christ appears in and many of these forms have sadly framed the foundation of many world religions.

When God appeared to Moses in a burning bush, it did not make the burning bush God. When Christ appeared as a rock to the children of Israel, it did not make the rock the person of Christ.

The scriptures say that one day, the elements shall melt (2 Peter 3:10).

That means physical elements and the forms the Christ takes cannot serve as our primary source of our revelation of Him.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:17, Colossians 3:1-3

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Physical elements cannot serve as our primary source of the revelation of God.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you for this wonderful truth. I thank you because your love towards me gives me confidence that as you are so I am in this world. I refuse to be subject to the rudiments and elements of this world, and I choose to live above them. Every area of my life yields its form to your word. Every situation in my life yields to the divine revelation of your truth in my life. In Jesus’ glorious name. Amen.

The True Promise Of God

Apostle Grace Lubega

Exodus 3:8(KJV); And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Often times, we preach men ‘back into Egypt’ because we have not understood the true promise of God.

Many of our testimonies are of ‘Egypt’, for in Egypt, they had food, got married, had children and raised families.

These are what define promises to us and as such, we think that they form the ultimate basis of satisfaction in the Promised Land.

However, the Promised Land was a place flowing with milk and honey.

These two – that is the MILK and HONEY represent the Word of God. (1 Peter 2:2, Psalms 119:103).

This Promised Land was meant to be a place of the Word because knowledge is our true inheritance.

It is eternal life to KNOW the only true God and His son Jesus Christ (John 17:3).

The Holy Spirit is called the SPIRIT OF PROMISE (Ephesians 1:13) who leads us into all truth (John 16:13). It is He who searches out the deep and bottomless things of God and leads us therein.

The true promise of God is the knowledge of Him. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the great inheritance of knowledge. You are the God that fulfils promises—you have and continue to fulfil the promise of knowledge. I know that the windows of heaven have been thrown open and mighty rivers of revelation are poured incessantly from above. Lord I receive, I take it all, with no restraint, no veils and no barrier of traditions. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The True Testimony

Apostle Grace Lubega

Hebrews 6:9 (KJV); But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

There is a man who thinks that his greatest problem is the lack of money; he believes if he gets it, then all his issues will end.

There is a woman who thinks that her greatest problem is the lack of a husband, if she gets married, her life will change.

Another thinks that once he gets a job, he will find true satisfaction.

I have been in church long enough to see people get jobs yet remain the same, get married yet remain the same, get healed of diseases yet remain the same, bear children after long periods of barrenness yet remain the same!

They will testify that God gave them a job, a car, a husband, a child or any such other thing but sometimes, these testimonies on our altars are of men who are still bound because they have not discovered that true freedom lies in knowledge (John 8:32).

Paul says, we are persuaded of the things that accompany salvation (Hebrews 6:9).

Testimonies are not the things that follow us but the things ahead of us.

Your real testimony is not the car you received or the new business deal that came through, it is Christ! Christ is the life of the Spirit that attracts these things. He is the fountain from which we drink and never thirst again. Hallelujah!

The Sardis Paradox

Apostle Grace Lubega

Revelation 3:1(KJV); And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

The altars from which we minister must constantly be burning with God’s fire.

Sadly, we live in a time where for some, the altar is ready, the sacrifice is prepared but there are no flames.

People do everything possible and are engaged in all forms of church programs to create the impression of fire but the hearts of men remain cold.

Some are calling fire from heaven and having no results because they have ignored the fact that in this dispensation, we do not call fire from heaven but call fire out of ourselves.

The Bible says of such that they are alienated from the life of God (Ephesians 4:18).

Like the church at Sardis in our theme scripture, they may think that they are alive yet to God, they are dead.

You may have a form of godliness and yet be dead (2 Timothy 3:5), worship God and yet be dead, do all sorts of things to show that you are born again yet you are dead, to the extent that salvation becomes a very heavy burden.

Alienation from the God-life starts from the place of ignorance. This is the highest form of death.

The church at Sardis was dead to God because they were ignorant and did not know it.

What makes you alive unto God is the increasing knowledge and revelation of His person.

FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 4:18, 2 Timothy 3:5

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Alienation from the God-life starts from the place of ignorance. What makes you alive unto God is the increasing knowledge and revelation of His person.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for your word. We are living in the times of the fulfilment of prophecy that in the last days, knowledge shall increase. I receive knowledge with an open spirit and a ready mind. Lord I choose to pay the price to know. Every day, you launch me into greater depths of your person. The more I know, the more alive I am to you and the more I manifest the God-life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Voices Of God

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 14:11(KJV); Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

The Lord revealed to me three kinds of voices of the Spirit.

The first voice reveals God’s eternal purpose and the milestones of your life to fulfil your divine destiny.

The second is the voice of the judgments of God.

When you understand the judgments of God, there are many things that you save yourself and many others from. These judgments are the basis of true discernment which comes from reconciling the spiritual experiences you have with your intellect.

The third is the voice of the message, which clarifies truth and establishes you in the understanding of it.

You should never lose any of these voices.

If you lose the voice of destiny, you lose the foundation of eternal realities and start to become carnal even when you are gifted because your eyes only see things of the earth.

If you lose the voice of judgment, you will defile, sear or kill your conscience, yet one of the qualifications of a true believer is to walk with a conscience that is void of offence toward God and men (Acts 24:16).

If you lose the voice of the message, you will error in doctrine and fall prey to the spirit of deception.

PRAYER: Loving father, your voice is precious unto me. I prize it above all things. I yield my spirit to hear the distinctions of your voice. I can never be a barbarian to the voice of the Spirit and the voice of the Spirit can never be barbaric to me. I understand purpose, divine judgments and the message of the gospel. In this understanding, I draw many to the Kingdom of light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LES VOIX DE DIEU

1 Corinthiens 14:11(KJV) Par conséquent si je ne connais pas le sens de la voix, je serai pour celui qui parle un barbare, et celui qui parle sera pour moi un barbare.

Le Seigneur m’a révélé trois sortes de voix de l’Esprit.

La première voix révèle le dessein éternel de Dieu et les étapes de votre vie pour accomplir votre destinée divine.

La seconde est la voix des jugements de Dieu.

Quand vous comprenez les jugements de Dieu, il y a beaucoup de choses dont vous vous sauvez et beaucoup d’autres. Ces jugements sont la base du vrai discernement qui vient de réconcilier les expériences spirituelles que vous avez avec votre intellect.

Le troisième est la voix du message, qui clarifie la vérité et vous établit dans la compréhension de celui-ci.

Vous ne devriez jamais perdre aucune de ces voix.

Si vous perdez la voix du destin, vous perdez le fondement des réalités éternelles et commencez à devenir charnel même quand vous êtes doué parce que vos yeux ne voient que les choses de la Terre.

Si vous perdez la voix du jugement, vous souillerez, brûlerez ou égorgerez votre conscience, mais l’une des qualifications d’un vrai croyant est de marcher avec une conscience qui est sans offense envers Dieu et les hommes (Actes 24:16).

Si vous perdez la voix du message, vous commettrez une erreur dans la doctrine et serez la proie de l’esprit de tromperie.

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Actes 24:16, Jean 10:27

PÉPITE D’OR : Si vous perdez la voix du destin, vous perdez le fondement des réalités éternelles et commencez à devenir charnel même quand vous êtes doué parce que vos yeux ne voient que les choses de la Terre.

PRIÈRE : Père aimant, ta voix m’est précieuse. Je la mets au-dessus de tout. Je cède mon esprit pour entendre les distinctions de ta voix. Je ne peux jamais être un barbare à la voix de l’Esprit et la voix de l’Esprit ne peut jamais être barbare pour moi. Je comprends le but, les jugements divins et le message de l’évangile. Dans cette compréhension, j’attire beaucoup au Royaume de la Lumière. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Hedged In

Apostle Grace Lubega

Job 1:7-10 (KJV); And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

The protection of God in our lives is not only for us as individuals but also extends to everything that belongs to us.

As seen from our theme scripture, God placed a hedge, not only around Job but his house and all his belongings. 

God has hedged you in: His protection is not only from the outside but He has also ensured that certain things do not get to you. 

He has hidden you in a place that the fowl doesn’t know and that which the vulture’s eye has not seen (Job 28:7).

The Bible says, “The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.”(Psalms 16:5).

When the scriptures speak of Him maintaining your lot, it means that He keeps constant watch over what belongs to you, inspecting it like a guard to ensure that no harm has befallen it.

You are kept by God; His hand is also upon all your property. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Ecclesiastes 10:8, James 1:13

GOLDEN NUGGET:  
The protection of God in our lives is not only for us as individuals but also extends to everything that belongs to us.

Nothing that is mine can be taken away; what belongs to me eventually makes its way to me. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

The Zeal Of God

Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah 9:7 (KJV); Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

God orders and directs certain things in our lives by reason of His zeal towards us because He seeks to establish His eternal purpose.

Indeed, there is a place where we submit to God by obedience to the truth that He may work in us both to will and to do according to His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).

However, there is also a place where His zeal performs whatsoever happens in our lives.

These are the things that are bigger than our abilities; things we could never achieve by our own labour.

Take the example of Isaac the Patriarch. When he purposed in his heart to bless His son Esau, God, because of eternal purpose could not let this happen (Romans 9:11-13).

He ensured that Rebecca heard it, that she prepared venison and asked Jacob to pose as his brother Esau (Genesis 1:1-29).

Jacob was the elect of God and no amount of human will could stand in the way of his blessing.

By this same zeal, He orders your footsteps, increases your ministry, establishes your business and brings peace to your marriage and family. The zeal of the Lord is at work in your life. Hallelujah!
