How We Grow

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 12:15 (KJV), And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

While growing up in the things of the Spirit, I met people who had to be pleaded with to serve in Church.

They were begged to play the piano because they were the best players available or to lead worship because they had such wonderful voices.

But these individuals were only gifted; they were not mature in the things of God.

A mature man can never be told to serve; he serves because he understands the demands of the gospel.

He knows that service to God is the greatest privilege on the surface of the earth.

He leads worship with this understanding; he teaches and wins souls with this mindset.

In the body of Christ, maturity should never be substituted by a gift no matter how great that gift.

Moreover, no one is irreplaceable. God can give the same gift you have to another and raise them to serve in your stead.

Choose to serve God out of love and not compulsion.

Identify needs in the gospel and be prompt to meet them. This attitude will grow you much faster in the things of God. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 6:10, 2 Corinthians 12:15

GOLDEN NUGGET:
Choose to serve God out of love and not compulsion. Identify needs in the gospel and be prompt to meet them.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this instruction. I operate above merely the gift but in maturity. I serve and do all that I must do in the gospel in this understanding. I spend and I am spent for it. I am available and prompt to meet any need in the father’s house. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

This Priceless Gospel

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 9:18 (KJV), What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

It has become a culture in the body of Christ that some men cannot preach until they have been given a certain sum of money; they cannot worship or play the instruments in a service unless they are paid for it.

It also happens in some places that people are manipulated to give and this practice has eaten up the consciences of some ministers of the gospel.

All these are what the Apostle Paul in our theme scripture calls “putting a charge on the gospel.”

The gospel is priceless. No one ought to ever charge anything for it for freely we have been given and freely we give (Matthew 10:8).

Yes, people may bless you as they are led of the Holy Spirit, but never charge them. When you do so, Paul says it is an abuse of your power in the gospel.

When you abuse your power, you frustrate the functioning of the anointing in your life.

If you are a preacher, you will not demonstrate His power in its fullness like you ought to. Sometimes you have to ask yourself, is it worth struggling to have miracles happen, people transformed and salvation coming to the lost because you sold your power when you placed a charge on the gospel?

FURTHER STUDY: Matthew 10:8, 2 Corinthians 12:15

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The Gospel is priceless. No one ought to ever charge anything for it, freely we have been given and freely we give.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the gospel, freely have I been given and freely I give. I can never lay charge to any service in the gospel because I know how priceless it is. You are my true reward and not what men can give. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Manner In Which Sheep Feed

Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah 5:17(KJV), Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

Every shepherd has the responsibility to feed the sheep entrusted to him (John 21:16).

However, the responsibility stretches to understanding the manner in which sheep feed.

One of these mannerisms is that sheep drink from still waters (Psalms 23:2).

Regardless of how anointed the shepherd is, if the waters to which he leads the sheep are not still, then the sheep will not drink.

What does this mean? You can never minister to men when you are embroiled in strife and contention (“raging waters”).

They may attend services every day and listen to you teach but their attendance does not mean that they are feeding or drinking.

If the waters are to be still, the altar from which you minister must never be defiled.

How is the altar defiled?

When ministers of the gospel make the pulpits a battle front to wage personal vendettas against fellow men of God and even their own church members.

The altar is holy, every time you defile it with strife, you compromise the atmosphere by which you ought to minister.

People may attend your services but will not be edified because “the waters are not still.”

Keep the Lord’s altar pure.

FURTHER STUDY: James 3:16, Philippians 2:3

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The altar is holy, every time you defile it with strife, you compromise the atmosphere by which you ought to minister.

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for your Word. You have taught me to seek peace in all that I do. This gospel is life to them that find it and divine mandate has taught me never to preach it in contention. I seek peace in all that I do, envy and strife are far from me. With this wisdom, I serve in the kingdom and can never seek to defile your altar through any form of bitterness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

How To Feed Multitudes

Apostle Grace Lubega

Acts 20:26-27 (KJV), Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

You cannot influence people to a great degree until you receive the spiritual endowment to ‘feed’ them.

How much you receive from God determines how many people you can minister to.

When Paul received ALL the counsel of God (which he did not shun to declare), he could boldly declare that he was free from the blood of ALL men.

But there are those who have not received even an ounce of this counsel, yet they seek to minister to thousands. This is a believer who seeks God for a following of thousands yet he or she does not discern and appreciate the ability to “multiply two fish and five loaves” in order to feed these multitudes.

He asks for increased influence in business, in his professional circles, in ministry or in political circles but does not seek for what it takes to be such a force of influence.

This is why you ought not to rush into ministry. The Bible requires that you wait upon your ministry (Romans 12:7).

In waiting, you receive the fullness of divine counsel by which you impact and transform the lives of many.

FURTHER STUDY: Romans 12:7, Matthew 14:17-20

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

How much you receive from God determines how many people you can minister to.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for this word. I understand the responsibility by which I must influence multitudes. I receive the divine ability to feed many. The fullness of counsel is my portion and out of this abundance, I teach, serve, reach out, pray and change countless lives. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

COMMENT NOURRIR DES MULTITUDES

Actes 20:26-27 (KJV) C’est pourquoi je vous déclare aujourd’hui que je suis pur du sang de vous tous, car je vous ai annoncé tout le conseil de Dieu, sans en rien cacher.

Vous ne pouvez pas influencer les gens à un degré élevé jusqu’à ce que vous receviez la dotation spirituelle pour les « nourrir ».

La quantité que vous recevez de Dieu détermine la quantité de personnes que vous pouvez ministrer.

Quand Paul a reçu TOUS les conseils de Dieu (qu’il n’a pas évité de déclarer), il pouvait déclarer avec assurance qu’il était libre du sang de TOUS les hommes.

Mais il y a ceux qui n’ont même pas reçu une once de ce conseil, pourtant ils cherchent à ministrer des milliers. C’est un croyant qui cherche Dieu pour suivre des milliers mais il ou elle ne discerne pas et n’apprécie pas la capacité de « multiplier deux poissons et cinq pains » pour nourrir ces multitudes.

Il demande une influence accrue dans les affaires, dans ses cercles professionnels, dans le ministère ou dans les cercles politiques mais ne cherche pas ce qu’il faut pour être une telle force d’influence.

C’est pourquoi vous ne devez pas vous précipiter dans le ministère. La Bible exige que vous attendiez votre ministère (Romains 12:7).

En attendant, vous recevez la plénitude du conseil divin par lequel vous impacter et transformer la vie de beaucoup.

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Romains 12:7, Matthieu 14:17-20

PÉPITE D’OR: La quantité que vous recevez de Dieu détermine la quantité de personnes que vous pouvez ministrer.

PRIÈRE: Père, merci pour cette Parole. Je comprends la responsabilité par laquelle je dois influencer les multitudes. Je reçois la capacité divine de nourrir beaucoup. La plénitude du conseil est ma part et à partir de cette abondance, j’enseigne, je sers, j’atteins, je prie et je change d’innombrables vies. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Of Spiritual Gifts

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 12:31(KJV), But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

Difts are not earned; they are given.

You do not need to qualify for any spiritual gift; simply desire it.

You can prophecy even if you are not a prophet by office; you can teach even if you are not in the office of a teacher.

God has made a provision for you to receive those you covet.

As you covet these gifts, you also ought to cultivate them.

Cultivating a spiritual gift means that you exercise your spirit to walk in it. And this you do by faith.

For example, if it is healing, visit the sick and lay hands on them because you believe you have received the gift of healing.

When you feel the slightest prompting by the Spirit to speak into someone’s life, do so as led by Him in the exercise of the gift of prophecy.

When you start in faith, the grace to walk in deeper manifestation of these gifts is availed. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 12:9, Romans 4:16

GOLDEN NUGGET: Cultivating a spiritual gift means that you exercise your spirit to walk in it. And this you do by faith.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the gifts of the Spirit. I receive them by faith and cultivate them diligently. My spirit is exercised to walk deeper in these graces. As I do, I grow and see the results of the Spirit in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

DES DONS SPIRITUELS

1 Corinthiens 12:31 (KJV) Aspirez aux dons les meilleurs. Et je vais encore vous montrer une voie par excellence.

Les dons ne sont pas gagnés ; ils sont donnés.

Vous n’avez pas besoin de vous qualifier pour un don spirituel ; désirez le simplement.

Vous pouvez prophétiser même si vous n’êtes pas un prophète d’office ; vous pouvez enseigner même si vous n’êtes pas dans le bureau d’un enseignant.

Dieu a pris une disposition pour que vous receviez ceux que vous convoitez.

Comme vous convoitez ces dons, vous devez également les cultiver.

Cultiver un don spirituel signifie que vous exercez votre esprit pour y marcher. Et c’est ce que vous faites par la foi.

Par exemple, si c’est la guérison, visitez les malades et posez les mains sur eux parce que vous croyez avoir reçu le don de la guérison.

Lorsque vous ressentez la moindre incitation de l’Esprit à parler de la vie de quelqu’un, faites-le comme conduit par Lui dans l’exercice du don de la prophétie.

Lorsque vous commencez dans la foi, la grâce de marcher dans la manifestation plus profonde de ces dons est prévalue. Alléluia !

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : 1 Corinthiens 12:9, Romains 4:16

PÉPITE D’OR : Cultiver un don spirituel signifie que vous exercez votre esprit pour y marcher. Et c’est ce que vous faites par la foi.

In The Secret Place

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms 91:1(KJV), He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

The secret place of the Most High is dwelt in by those that have understood true solitude.

This solitude is the closest sense to the divine: if a man never understands the experiences of solitude, he can never understand the experiences of the divine.

Why is this so? It is because, often times, God deals with men more deeply when they are alone.

But what is solitude? Is it locking oneself up for hours while in fellowship with God? Is it making pilgrimages to lonely country sides?

Well these are just forms of how men seek solitude, and are all acceptable, but are not the core spirit of what solitude is.

One may be in the midst of multitudes and yet still be in solitude.

Solitude does not mean the absence of activity in your life, it is your absence from the world of activity.

Paul speaks in 2 Corinthians 5:8 of being absent from the body to be present with the Lord. This is not just in the place of physical death.

It means that even though you are present in an environment physically, you can be absent from it spiritually.

This absence from a physical environment spiritually causes you to be alive unto God.

FURTHER STUDY: Matthew 6:6, Luke 5:16

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The secret place of the Most High is dwelt in by those that have understood true solitude. Solitude does not mean the absence of activity in your life, it is your absence from the world of activity.

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for this wisdom. My spirit is exercised to be alive unto you regardless of how busy my physical environment is. I am constantly tuned to your direction and instruction. By this, I am always available to be used by you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

When We Gather

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 14:26 (KJV), How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

When we gather for fellowship, some people have the mindset that they are “empty, dry and cold” and so, they come into the presence of God to be “ignited, refreshed and filled up.”

This ought not to be so for children of God. To us, fellowship is the overflow of the experiences of men who have been in solitude with God.

That is why Paul describes it thus; “when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.”

Yes, we gather to feed, but not as men who are empty. We gather as those that are lit, full of the Spirit and radiating glory.

So when you attend service, attend as one charged up in the Spirit, overflowing with revelation and burning with eternal flames. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 10:25, John 1:16

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

Fellowship is the overflow of the experiences of men who have been in solitude with God.

PRAYER: God, I thank you for your Word. I live in the fullness of the Spirit. I can never run dry because out of me flow rivers of living water. I am always full, ignited and overflowing with eternal experiences. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

QUAND NOUS NOUS RASSEMBLONS

1 Corinthiens 14:26 (KJV) Que faire donc, frères ? Lorsque vous vous assemblez, les uns ou les autres parmi vous ont-ils un cantique, une instruction, une révélation, une langue, une interprétation, que tout se fasse pour l’édification.

Quand nous nous rassemblons pour la communion, certaines personnes ont l’état d’esprit qu’elles sont « vides, sèches et froides » et ainsi, elles viennent en présence de Dieu pour être « enflammées, rafraîchies et comblées ».

Cela ne devrait pas être ainsi pour les enfants de Dieu. Pour nous, la communion est le débordement des expériences des hommes qui ont été dans la solitude avec Dieu.

C’est pourquoi Paul le décrit ainsi : « Quand vous vous réunissez, chacun d’entre vous a un psaume, a une doctrine, a une langue, a une révélation, a une interprétation. »

Oui, nous nous réunissons pour nourrir, mais pas comme des hommes qui sont vides. Nous nous rassemblons comme ceux qui sont allumés, pleins de l’Esprit et rayonnant de gloire.

Ainsi, lorsque vous assistez au service, assistez comme quelqu’un chargé de l’Esprit, débordant de révélation et brûlant de flammes éternelles. Alléluia !

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Hébreux 10:25, Jean 1:16

PÉPITE D’OR : La communion est le débordement des expériences des hommes qui ont été dans la solitude avec Dieu.

PRIÈRE : Dieu, je te remercie pour ta Parole. Je vis dans la plénitude de l’Esprit. Je ne peux jamais courir à sec parce que hors de moi coulent des rivières d’eau vive. Je suis toujours plein, enflammé et débordant d’expériences éternelles. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

God’s Mind On Restoration

Apostle Grace Lubega

Roman 14:4(KJV), Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

The fall of a believer is not their worst state with God. The believer’s worst state is the refusal to be restored.

God’s mind is clear, He seeks to hold up His servant if he [the servant] falls, and to make him stand.

Sadly, many people reject this place of restoration. When they make mistakes, they feel too beaten to return to the presence of God: they leave Church, stop serving in ministry and cease to pray.

What you did is not the issue; refusing to return to the rock of your salvation for healing and restoration is the issue.

“A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again…”(Proverbs 24:16). Sadly, there are just men who fall never to rise again.

They that rise again only do so because they killed their pride and immaturity.

No mistake, no matter how grave, should take away your place with God.

FURTHER STUDY: Numbers 12:7-9, Romans 8:38-39

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

The fall of a believer is not their worst state with God. The believer’s worst state is the refusal to be restored. No mistake, no matter how grave, should take away your place with God.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this divine instruction. I stand on the great conviction that nothing can separate me from your love. If my heart condemns me, my blessed assurance is that you are bigger than my heart. I will always stand before you for you are my justification, my righteousness and the lifter of my head. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LA PENSÉE DE DIEU SUR LA RESTAURATION 

Romains 14:4 (KJV) Qui es-tu, toi qui juges un serviteur d’autrui? S’il se tient debout, ou s’il tombe, cela regarde son maître. Mais il se tiendra debout, car le Seigneur a le pouvoir de l’affermir.

La chute d’un croyant n’est pas leur pire état avec Dieu. Le pire état du croyant est le refus d’être restauré. L’esprit de Dieu est clair, Il cherche à retenir Son serviteur s’il tombe [le serviteur] et à le faire lever.

Malheureusement, beaucoup de gens rejettent ce lieu de restauration. Quand ils font des erreurs, ils se sentent trop battus pour retourner à la présence de Dieu : ils quittent l’Église, cessent de servir dans le ministère et cessent de prier.

Ce que vous avez fait n’est pas le problème ; refuser de retourner au rocher de votre salut pour guérir et restaurer est le problème.

« Un homme juste tombe sept fois et se relève… » (Proverbes 24:16). Malheureusement, il y a juste des hommes justes qui ne se relèvent jamais.

Ceux qui se relèvent ne le font que parce qu’ils ont tué leur fierté et leur immaturité. 

Aucune erreur, aussi grave soit-elle, ne doit emporter votre place avec Dieu.

ÉTUDE COMPLÉMENTAIRE : Nombres 12:7-9, Romains 8:38-3 

PÉPITE D’OR : La chute d’un croyant n’est pas leur pire état avec Dieu. Le pire état du croyant est le refus d’être restauré. Aucune erreur, aussi grave soit-elle, ne doit emporter votre place avec Dieu. 

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie pour cette instruction divine. Je suis convaincu que rien ne peut me séparer de ton amour. Si mon cœur me condamne, mon assurance bénie est que tu es plus grand que mon cœur. Je serai toujours devant toi car tu es ma justification, ma justice et le redresseur de ma tête. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

The Battle is the Lord’s

Apostle Grace Lubega

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.

In this life, there are people who might set themselves to fight you but in doing so, they set themselves to fight God. And they cannot fight God and win.

God owns your battles. Because he owns your battles, he instructs you thus; “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you…” (2 Chronicles 20:17).

The prophet Isaiah explains the futility of any man that dares to fight against God. He says, “Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together (Isaiah 31:3).

You are the anointed of God. When he said, “touch not the Lord’s anointed,” (Psalms 105:15) it was not a piece of advice, it was a warning.

God has owned your battle, find rest.

FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 10:30, 2 Chronicles 32:8

GOLDEN NUGGET:
God owns your battles, find Rest.

PRAYER: Father I thank you because victory belongs to you. I am a rested spirit because my battles are yours to fight. No weapon fashioned against me can prosper and every tongue that rises against me in judgment has been condemned. By this testimony, I have overcome the world and every plan of the enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LA BATAILLE EST AU SEIGNEUR

2 Chroniques 20:15 (KJV) Et il dit : Soyez attentifs, tout Juda et habitants de Jérusalem, et toi, roi Josaphat ! Ainsi vous parle l’Eternel : Ne craignez point et ne vous effrayez point devant cette multitude nombreuse, car ce ne sera pas vous qui combattrez, ce sera Dieu.

Dans cette vie, il y a des gens qui pourraient se mettre à combattre mais en faisant cela, ils se mettent à combattre Dieu. Et ils ne peuvent pas combattre Dieu et gagner.

Dieu possède vos batailles. Parce qu’il possède vos batailles, il vous instruit ainsi : « Vous n’aurez pas besoin de combattre dans cette bataille : vous vous arrêtez, tenez-vous immobiles, et voyez le salut du Seigneur avec vous… » (2 Chroniques 20:17).

Le prophète Isaïe explique la futilité de tout homme qui ose se battre contre Dieu. Il dit : « Maintenant, les Egyptiens sont des hommes, et non pas Dieu ; et leurs chevaux, la chair, et non l’esprit. Quand l’Éternel étendra sa main, celui qui secourt tombera, et celui qui est aidé tombera, et tous échoueront ensemble » (Isaïe 31:3).

Vous êtes l’oint de Dieu. Quand il a dit : « Ne touchez pas à l’oint du Seigneur » (Psaumes 105:15), ce n’était pas un conseil, c’était un avertissement.

Dieu a possédé votre bataille, trouvez le repos.

ÉTUDE : Hébreux 10:30, 2 Chroniques 32:8

PÉPITE D’OR : Dieu a possédé votre bataille, trouvez le repos.

PRIÈRE : Père, je te remercie parce que la victoire t’appartient. Je suis un esprit reposé parce que mes batailles sont à toi. Aucune arme façonnée contre moi ne peut prospérer et toute langue qui s’élève contre moi en jugement a été condamnée. Par ce témoignage, j’ai vaincu le monde et tous les plans de l’ennemi. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Spiritual Heavy Weights

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV), Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

A story is told by a great man of God who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of robbers.

They held him at gun point and commanded him to get out of his car with the intention of robbing him.

He got out of the car and told them that they were too small to hold him at ransom. He proceeded to command that they each report to the police station and hand themselves in.

His words carried enough authority to cause the men to do exactly as he had ordered. He found them at the police station having done as he had directed.

That is an example of what it means to have spiritual weight.

This spiritual weight far surpasses physical weight. A man may have physical weight but if he does not have spiritual weight, then he cannot ably fight his adversaries.

Physical weight might be wealth, body size or political influence. All these are nothing when compared to a man who knows his God.

That spiritual weight is the reason you cannot be robbed, bewitched or touched by those that seek to destroy you.

God has called you to be as dynamite, He is with you.

Greater is He that is in you than he in the world (1 John 4:4).

You might be small physically but you are not small spiritually. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:4, Luke 10:19

GOLDEN NUGGET: 

God has called us to be as dynamite, He is with you. You might be small physically but you are not small spiritually.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for who I am in you. I am strong and nothing can shake or move me. I have weight spiritually and by that same weight, I influence life physically. Disease and poverty cannot touch me; destruction cannot come near me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
