Revelation 1:8 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
When your eyes of perception of the things of the spirit are cleansed, you understand that all things are infinite. God is infinite. You live, move and have your being in Him. He expects you to function and relate with him as an infinite being.
Take an example of two men relating with God. To Moses, creation was a beginning: ‘in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth…’ (Genesis 1:1) but He explained a finite beginning because heaven and earth will pass away (Matthew 24:35). John explained an infinite beginning: ‘in the beginning was the Word.’ (John 1:1) and this Word shall never pass away. These are both beginnings but one is infinite while another is finite.
Because John understood the infinity of things he could say things like ‘there are also many other things which Jesus did, if they should be written even the world could not contain the books that should be written’ (John 21:25).
David said in Psalms 119:96; I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. He reached the end of anything that can be defined as perfection and when he did, he realised that the Word of God was still broader.
The Word marks the beginning of infinity. You have been begotten by this very Word (James 1:18). This is what makes you as a child of God bottomless because the bottomless things of God are in you.
You are not a finite being relating with an infinite God. You are an infinite being relating with an infinite God. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 2:10 AMP, Jeremiah 33:3 NIV
GOLDEN NUGGET:
You are not a finite being relating with an infinite God. You are an infinite being relating with an infinite God.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the infinity of things; I have the eternal life of God that defines this infinity. In this understanding, I am conscious of eternal abundance and the perpetuity of the things in which you have called me. You are my beginning and my end. My life is the God story. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews 13:10 (KJV) We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
VISIONS AND ALTARS
The altar from which you eat determines the nature and size of your vision. Some people’s prayers are in other men’s pocket change, while other men’s visions, no man can answer except God. The man whose need can easily be met by another man and he whose need can only be met by God cannot share the same altar.
The scriptures name different kinds of altars; wood, stone, bronze and gold. Each of these have a distinctive revelation that defines a man’s life of communion and growth in the things of God.
But one unique thing about the golden altar is that it is before the throne of God (Revelation 8:3). The vision of a man that eats from this altar arises from what he beholds of and in God.
This kind of vision that is fed by the revelation of what a man beholds in God supersedes time: it is relevant to the past generations, relevant today and will be relevant for generations to come. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 29:18, Habakkuk 2:2-3
GOLDEN NUGGET:
The altar from which you eat determines the nature and size of your vision.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank you for the altar from which I feed. I partake of the substance that makes great men because I behold your countenance and understand your mind. You unveil to me worlds of possibilities and these cause me to pray, to fast, to give and to spend and be completely spent because of the things that I see. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans 8:30 (KJV) Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
As a child of God, you existed in eternity, live for a particular time span on the earth and will return to eternity.
As a minister of the gospel, people always ask me: ‘what did God call me to do?’ But this question is usually by men who only look at their lives from the perspective of their existence on the earth.
They have not understood their eternal pre-existence and their pre-destination.
Some seek to know callings because they are deceived by the limelight at the altar and the glory of the pulpit. Others think that calling means commissioning. They neglect the fact that there is judgment that follows a man who seeks an altar or pulpit that he has not understood.
First understand the pattern, child of God: glory follows justification; justification follows calling; and calling follows predestination.
Predestination functions with epignosis; the advanced knowledge in God.
The Lord told the prophet Jeremiah; Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
God was telling him that he knew him before he came on the earth. He had a distinctive identity in the spirit. Who you are in eternity is your real life which is hid in Christ (Colossians 3:3 NLT). That life is the centre of pre-destination and defines your calling.
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 1:5, Ephesians 1:11
GOLDEN NUGGET:
Who you are in eternity is your real life which is hid in Christ. That life is the centre of pre-destination and defines your calling.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you because I have been pre-ordained, called, justified and glorified by you. I walk in this glory and grace. My life, ministry and vision were pitched in eternity. For everything that I do, as I launch out in the times of men, I understand that it was set in eternity. Nothing on earth can move me because my experiences on the earth are past tense in the mind of eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Abaroma 8:30 Abo yatoranije kera yarabahamagaye, kandi abo yahamagaye yarabatsindishirije, n’abo yatsindishirije yabahaye ubwiza.
Nk’umwana w’Imana,wabayeho mubuzira herezo, kubaho mu buzima bw’igihe runaka ku isi hanyuma ukazajya mu buziraherezo.
Nk’umukozi w’Imana, abantu barambaza:’ni iki Imana yampamagariye gukora?’ Ariko iki kibazo ni icy’abantu bareba ubuzima bwabo bagendeye ku kubaho kwabo ku’isi.
Ntibasobanukiwe impamvu yo kubaho mu buzima buhoraho no gutoranywa kwabo. Bamwe bashaka kumenya imihamagaro yabo kuko bashukwa n’amatara n’icyubahiro biri ku gatuti. Abandi batekereza ko guhamagarwa bivuze koherezwa. Birengagiza ko hari urubanza rukurikira umuntu ushaka agatuti adasobanukiwe.
Banza usobanukirwe imikorere, mwana w’Imana: icyubahiro gikurikira gutsindishirizwa; gutsindishirizwa bikurikira guhamagarwa; guhamagarwa bikurikira gutoranywa.
Gutoranywa gukorana na epignosis; ubwenge buhambaye mu Mana.
Imana yabwiye umuhanuzi yeremiya; Mbere yo kukurema munda nari nkuzi; na mbere yuko uva munda narakwejeje, nakugize umuhanuzi w’amahanga.
Imana yamubwiraga ko yari umuzi na mbere yuko aza ku isi. Yari afite itandukaniro rikomeye mu mwuka. Uwo uriwe mu buzima buhoraho nibwo buzima bwawe aribwo buhishwe muri kristo (Abakorisayi 3:3). Ubwo buzima nibwo tangiriro ryo gutoranywa kandi busobanura umuhamagaro wawe.
IBINDI BYANDITSWE: Abefeso 1:5, Abefeso 1:11
ICYO WAKURAMO: Uwo uriwe mu buzima buhoraho nibwo buzima bwawe aribwo buhishwe muri kristo. Ubwo buzima nibwo tangiriro ryo gutoranywa kandi busobanura umuhamagaro wawe.
ISENGESHO: Data,urakoze kuko nahiswemo,nahamagawe,ndatsindishirizwa kandi nubahwa nawe. Ngendera muri iki cyubahiro n’ubuntu. Ubuzima bwanjye, umurimo n’iyerekwa byanshize mu buzima buhoraho. Ibyo nkora byose, uko mbaho mu bihe by’abantu, nsobanukirwa ko byakozwe mu buzima buhoraho. Ntakintu ku isi cyankura mu murongo kuko kubaho kwanjye ku isi ari impitagihe mu buzima buhoraho. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen

(Abaruumi 8:30) Era be yayawula edda, abo era yabayita: era be yayita, yabawa abo era obutuukirivu: era be yawa obutuukirivu, yabawa abo era ekitiibwa
Ng’omwana wa Katonda, waliwo mu butaggwawo, oli ku nsi okumala akaseera katoono oddeyo mu butaggwawo.
Ng’omuweereza w’enjiri, abantu bambuuza: ’Katonda yampita kola ki?’ Kino ekibuzo kibeera mu bantu abatunnulira obulamu bwabwe mu kifaananyi ky’okuberaawo kwabe ku nsi kyokka.
Tebanategeera ki kye bali mu butaggwawo n’okwawulibwa kwabwe.
Abamu banoonya okuyitiibwa kwabwe kubanga balimbibwa n’amataala agali ku Kyoto n’ekitiibwa ekiri ku katuuti. Abamu balowooza okuyitibwa kubeera kutumibwa. Tebafaayo kumanya mazima nti waliwo okulamula okugoberera omuntu anoonya ekyoto oba akatuuti ka tategedde.
Ssoka otegere ennono, mwana wa Katonda: ekitiibwa kigoberera obutuukirivu; obutuukirivu bugoberera okuyitibwa; era okuyitibwa kugoberera okwawulibwa.
Okwawulibwa kukolera mu kumanya okutuukiride: okwo kwe kumanya okujjuvu okw’obwaKatonda
Katonda yagamba nnabi Yeremiya; nti Bwe nnali nga sinnakubumba mu lubuto nakumanya, era nga tonnava mu lubuto nakutukuza; era nkutaddewo okuba nnabbi eri amawanga.
Katonda yali amugamba nti yamumanya nga tanajja ku nsi. Yalina ekifannanyi ekyenjawulo mu mwoyo. Ekyo kyewali mu butaggwawo bwe bulamu bwo obwaddala obukwekkeddwa mu Kristo (Abakkolosaayi 3:3). Obulamu obwo y’enkulungo y’okwawulibwa enyonyola okuyitibwa kwo.
WEKENEENYE: Abaefeso 1:5, Abaefeso 1:11
EKINYUSI: Ekyo kyewali mu butaggwawo bwe bulamu bwo obwaddala obukwekkeddwa mu Kristo. Obulamu obwo y’enkulungo y’okwawulibwa enyonyola okuyitibwa kwo.
ESSALA: Kitange, nkwebaza kubanga nayawulibwa, nayitiibwa, ndi mutuukirivu era nina ekitiibwa okuva gyoli. Ntambulira mu kitiibwa ekyo n’ekisa. Obulamu bwange, obuweereza n’okwolesebwa kwange kwaliwo mu butaggwawo. Buli kimu kye nkola nga ntambulira mu budde bwa bantu,nkitegeera nti kyategekebwa mu butaggwawo. Teri kintu kisobola ku nkyusa ku nsi kubanga ensisinkano zange ku nsi zayita mu ndowooza y’obtaggwawo. Mu linnya lya Yesu. Amiina

Abarooma 8:30 Abu yaashoroire batakabaireho, nibo yaayetsire; n’abu yaayetsire, nibo yaihireho orubanja; kandi n’abu yaihireho orubanja, nibo yaahaire ekitiinisa.
Nk’omwana wa Ruhanga, okaba oriho otakabaireho omu mubiri, rero otuure omu nsi, bwanyima ogarukyeyo.
Nk’omuheereza w’engiri, abantu batuura nibambuza: ‘Ruhanga akanyeta kukoraki?’ Kwonka ekibuuzo eki nekyabo abarikureeba amagara gabo kurugirira oku batwaire omu nsi.
Tibaketegyereize okubashorairwe batakabaireho. Abamwe nibasherura kumanya okwetwa kwabo ahabw’okuba nibabaihwa ekitiinisa ky’eitambiro. Abamwe nibateekateeka ngu okwetwa nikimanyisa okutumwa. Nibanga kumanya ngu hariho okucwerwa orubanja okurikukuratira omuntu orikusherura itambiro ryatetegyereize.
Banza oyetegyereze eky’okureeberaho, mwana wa Ruhanga: ekitiinisa nikikuratira okwihwaho orubanja; okwihwaho orubanja nikukuratira okweetwa; rero okweetwa kukuratira okushororwa otakabaireho.
Okushororwa otakabaireho nikikoragana n’okumanya okw’aihaiguru; okumanya Ruhanga okw’amaani.
Mukama akagambira Nabi Yeremia ati; Ku naabaire ntakakuhangire mu nda ya nyoko, nkakumanya; Naakweza otakazairwe, Naakutaho kuba nabi w’amahanga.
Ruhanga akaba namugambira ngu akaba namumanya atakaizire omu nsi. Akaba aine okumanywa kw’omutaano omu mwoyo. Eki orikuba ori otakabaireho nigo magara gaawe agasherekirwe omuri Kristo (Abakolosai 3:3 NLT). Amagara ago nigogarikworeka oku washorairwe otakabaireho kandi gakashoborora okweetwa kwawe.
SHOMA NEEBI: Abaefeso 1:5, Abaefeso 1:11
EKY’OKUHAMIZA KIMWE: Eki orikuba ori otakabaireho nigo magara gaawe agasherekirwe omuri Kristo. Amagara ago nigo garikworeka okuwashorairwe otakabaireho kandi gakashoborora okweetwa kwawe.
OKUSHABA: Taata, ninkusiima ahabw’okuba nkashororwa ntakabaireho, nyetsirwe, nyihirweho orubanja kandi mpeirwe iwe ekitiinisa. Ningyendera omu kitiinisa kye n’embabazi ze. Amagara gangye, obuheereza n’ekiroto kyangye bikaterwa bitakabaireho. Burikimwe ekindikukora, nimanya ngu kikaba kyabaireho ntakabaireho. Tihaine kintu kyona omu nsi ekirikuntangaza ahabw’okuba ebindikurabamu omu nsi bikaba byabaireho. Omwiziina rya Yesu. Amiina.

Romains 8:30 (KJV) Ceux qu’il a ainsi destinés, il les a appelés ; ceux qu’il a appelés, il les a faits justes et droits, il leur a donné la Gloire.
En tant qu’homme de Dieu, vous avez existé dans l’éternité, vous vivez un temps particulier sur la terre et vous retournerez à l’éternité.
En tant que ministre de l’évangile, les gens me demandent toujours : « Qu’est-ce que Dieu m’a appelé à faire ? » Mais cette question est habituellement celle des hommes qui ne regardent que leur vie du point de vue de leur existence sur la terre.
Ils n’ont pas compris leur éternelle pré-existence et leur pré-destination.
Certains cherchent à connaître les appels parce qu’ils sont trompés par les projecteurs à l’autel et la gloire de la tribune. D’autres pensent que l’appel signifie la mise en service. Ils négligent le fait qu’il y ait un jugement qui suit un homme qui cherche un autel ou une tribune qu’il n’a pas compris.
Comprenez d’abord le modèle, enfant de Dieu : la gloire suit la justification ; la justification suit l’appel ; et l’appel suit la pré-destination.
La pré-destination fonctionne avec l’épignose ; la connaissance avancée en dieu.
L’Éternel dit au prophète Jérémie ; avant de vous former dans le ventre je vous connaissais ; et avant que tu tombes du ventre je t’ai sanctifié, et je t’ai ordonné comme prophète des nations.
Dieu lui disait qu’il le connaissait avant qu’il ne vienne sur la terre. Il avait une identité distinctive dans l’esprit. Celui que vous êtes dans l’éternité est votre vie réelle cachée dans le Christ (Colossiens 3:3 NLT). Que la vie soit le centre de pré-destination et définit votre vocation.
ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE: Ephésiens 1:5, Ephésiens 1:11
PEPITE D’OR : Celui que vous êtes dans l’éternité est votre vie réelle cachée dans le Christ. Que la vie soit le centre de pré-destination et définit votre vocation.
PRIERE : Père, je te remercie parce que j’ai été pré-ordonné, appelé, justifié et glorifié par toi. Je me promène dans cette gloire et cette grâce. Ma vie, mon ministère et ma vision ont été lancés dans l’éternité. Pour tout ce que je fais, comme je me lance dans les temps des hommes, je comprends qu’il a été mis dans l’éternité. Rien sur terre ne peut me déplacer parce que mes expériences sur la terre sont passées dans l’esprit de l’éternité. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Hebrews 8:1-2 (KJV) Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Jesus Christ is the true minister of the tabernacle that was pitched by God and not man.
Some people are pre-occupied with what they are doing for this minister of the sanctuary and not what He is doing in them. But, you have the choice to pattern your life to understand how to flow with this minister or how to look at yourself simply as one ministering to this minister.
Some people have patterned their lives after ministering to God while others have patterned their lives after yielding to the minister of the sanctuary to work in them.
Christ’s primary ministry is not through you but to you. It does not mean He does not work through you; it means that He does not want to work through you when He has not worked in you.
If you are only at the place of ministering to Him, you might run this race in vain. That is why Paul speaks of beating his flesh into subjection (1 Corinthians 9:27). He does this so that his flesh and soul yield to the spirit of God to work in him.
He understood that the total sum of any man’s qualifications in the life of the spirit arise out of the things that Christ has done IN that man.
The total sum of your Christian walk ought to be what God has done in you.
FURTHER STUDY: Philippians 1:6, Psalms 139:23
GOLDEN NUGGET: Christ’s primary ministry is not through you but to you.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord that by this word, you have re-aligned my destiny. I understand the minister of the sanctuary and the rules of the tabernacle. You work in me more than ever before; you deal with me every day. You humble me, break me and bend me. I am a vessel truly consecrated for your service. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hébreux 8:1-2 (KJV) Pour résumer ce que nous avons dit, nous avons un grand-prêtre qui siège à la droite du Dieu de Grandeur dans les cieux. Il fait la liturgie du Sanctuaire et de la vraie Tente que le Seigneur lui-même a planté et non les hommes.
Jésus-Christ est le vrai ministre du tabernacle qui a été institué par Dieu et non par l’homme.
Certaines personnes sont préoccupées de ce qu’elles font pour ce ministre du sanctuaire et non pas ce qu’Il fait en eux.
Mais, vous avez le choix de façonner votre vie pour comprendre comment marcher avec ce ministre ou comment vous regarder tout simplement comme un ministre de ce ministre.
Certaines personnes ont modelé leur vie après avoir servi Dieu tandis que d’autres ont modelé leur vie après avoir cédé au ministre du sanctuaire pour y travailler.
Le ministère primaire du Christ n’est pas à travers vous mais pour vous. Cela ne signifie pas qu’il ne travaille pas par vous ; cela signifie qu’Il ne veut pas travailler à travers vous quand Il n’a pas travaillé en vous.
Si vous êtes seulement à la place de Lui faire un ministère, vous pouvez exécuter cette tache en vain. C’est pourquoi Paul parle de battre sa chair en soumission (1 Corinthiens 9:27). Il le fait de sorte que sa chair et son âme cèdent à l’esprit de Dieu pour travailler en lui.
Il a compris que la somme totale de toutes les qualités de l’homme dans la vie de l’esprit découle de ce que le Christ a fait dans cet homme.
La somme totale de votre marche Chrétienne doit être ce que Dieu a fait en vous.
ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : Philippiens 1:6, Psaumes 139:23
PEPITE D’OR : Le ministère primaire du Christ n’est pas à travers vous mais pour vous.
PRIERE : Merci Seigneur que par cette parole, tu as réorienté mon destin. Je comprends le ministre du sanctuaire et les règles du tabernacle. Tu travailles en moi plus que jamais ; tu m’organises tous les jours. Tu me rends humble, me casses et me plies. Je suis un navire vraiment consacré à ton service. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Romans 4:17(KJV) As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
It is in the nature of God to call things that are not as though they were. That is the essence of the grace. The grace is not just an element or an aspect of the gospel. It is the nature of God; the person of Jesus Christ.
When some people think of grace, they think of it in regard to how it’s abused, yet they don’t even fully comprehend what it is and what it can do. But there is more to it: grace imputes righteousness where there is sin (2 Corinthians 5:21); it imputes wealth where poverty prevails (2 Corinthians 8:9); it imputes health where there is disease (1 Peter 2:24); it imputes strength where there is weakness (Joel 3:10).
Your spirit man is perfect: the Bible says he is incorruptible (1 Peter 1:23), that he has been renewed in knowledge after the image of God (Colossians 3:10). To understand grace, first understand who you are in the spirit and relate with God from that perspective.
Grace therefore is the continuous imputation of who we are in the spirit. As that imputation continues, its manifestation becomes evident in the flesh. Praise Him!
FURTHER STUDY: Philemon 1:6, 2 Corinthians 3:18
GOLDEN NUGGET:
Grace imputes righteousness where there is sin. It imputes wealth where poverty prevails. It imputes health where there is disease. It imputes strength where there is weakness.
PRAYER: Thank you Lord for your wonderful grace. It is the testimony of my victory; my eyes are set on the things above where Christ is. My confessions are of the things that I behold in the spirit. As I declare these things every day, my life changes, I walk out of weakness, my finances change, and my health changes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
In marriage, God has not called you to change your husband or wife. He wants you to do your part. He will do the changing. He called the husband to love his wife even as Christ loved the Church. He called the wife to submit herself to her husband.
Some wives cannot submit to their husbands unless they are loved and some husbands cannot love their wives unless they submit to them. She is a good wife as long as the husband is doing everything right and he is a good husband as long as she is doing everything as he wishes.
But, this ought not to be the case, do your part and let your righteousness speak for you.
Submission by the wife ought not to be conditioned on the character of the husband. It ought to be conditioned on her respect of God and His Word. You do not submit because he is a good man; you submit because God told you to. You do not love your wife because she has a good attitude towards you; you love her because God told you to love her even if she had a bad attitude.
That is the wisdom with which you can lose battles to win wars in your marriage. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Peter 3:1-2, 1 Corinthians 7:14
GOLDEN NUGGET:
In marriage, God has not called you to change your husband or wife. He wants you to do your part. He will do the changing.
PRAYER: My father, I thank you for this instruction on winning in marriage. I do my part and my righteous actions speak for themselves. I relate with my spouse based on the Word. You are the centre of our relationship; and, my primary accountability is to you. I thank you that, because of this wisdom, my marriage is preserved and directed by you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LECONS EN VERTU : FAITES VOTRE PART
Colossiens 3:18-19 (KJV) Vous, femmes, soyez soumises à vos maris de la façon qui convient entre Chrétiens. Et vous, maris, aimez vos femmes au lieu de leur rendre la vie impossible.
Dans le mariage, Dieu ne vous a pas appelé pour changer votre mari ou votre épouse. Il veut que vous fassiez votre part. Il fera le changement. Il a appelé le mari à aimer sa femme même si le Christ a aimé l’Église. Il a appelé la femme à se soumettre à son mari.
Certaines épouses ne peuvent se soumettre à leurs maris à moins qu’ils soient aimés et que certains maris ne peuvent aimer leurs femmes à moins qu’elles les soumettent. Elle est une bonne femme tant que le mari fait tout bien et il est un bon mari aussi longtemps qu’elle fait tout comme il le souhaite.
Mais, cela ne devrait pas être le cas, faites votre part et laissez votre justice parler pour vous.
La soumission par la femme ne doit pas être conditionnée par le caractère du mari. Il doit être conditionné à son respect de Dieu et de Sa Parole. Vous ne soumettez pas parce qu’il est un bon homme ; vous soumettre parce que Dieu vous l’a dit. Vous n’aimez pas votre femme parce qu’elle a une bonne attitude envers vous ; vous l’aimez parce que Dieu vous a dit de l’aimer même si elle avait une mauvaise attitude.
C’est la sagesse avec laquelle vous pouvez perdre des batailles pour gagner des guerres dans votre mariage. Alléluia !

Tu es le centre de notre relation ; et ma responsabilité principale est à toi. Je te remercie que, à cause de cette sagesse, mon mariage est conservé et dirigé par toi. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.

Psalms 92:13 (KJV) Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
When a man is planted in the house of the Lord, he flourishes.
The church today has a big problem with Christians that cannot submit themselves under a ministry. Such Christians cannot allow themselves to belong anywhere. Today they are in this church, the next day they are in another church, next month they will be somewhere else; they are perpetually visitors.
Some hop from ministry to ministry not because they are hungry for the Word of God but because they are looking for what perfectly appeals to their carnal senses. To them, one ministry’s music is too loud so they cannot keep there. Another ministry’s pastor dresses too informally for their taste; another ministry’s pastor walks too much on the pulpit while in the other church the pastor only stands in one place through his sermon and that is a big problem to them.
If you keep uprooting yourself, how then will you ever be watered?
Being planted is what flourishes you because it gives you the opportunity to be watered even as you water; the opportunity to be blessed even as you are a blessing. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 11:25, Matthew 15:13
GOLDEN NUGGET:
Being planted is what flourishes you because it gives you the opportunity to be watered even as you water; the opportunity to be blessed even as you are a blessing.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you because I am planted and I flourish in your courts. I am a submitted spirit because I understand the importance of spiritual covering. Lot prospered under the spiritual cover of Abraham, Samuel learnt the distinction of your voice under Eli, David mastered the patterns of kingship under Saul. These things were written for my learning and I walk these same lines. I serve with great diligence where I am planted. I water even as I am watered. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms 27:4 (KJV) One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.
The total sum of your christian life ought to be experiences in God. However, even in those experiences, you have to pick out what is revelation.
This is because even though it is a beautiful thing to see in the spirit, to walk the aisles of heaven, to behold the glassy sea and the throne of God you should not leave out the place of inquiring in His courts.
It is not useful to simply see things in the spirit and not be able to inquire what is necessary for divine purpose on the earth.
For example, God did not take the prophet Isaiah into an experience of the spirit for him to just see the wonders of heaven. He allowed him access to a heavenly meeting to know what God was planning to do on the earth (Isaiah 6).
An experience without the revelation of it will not do much to edify the church or even yourself. God does not expect you to have experiences for the simple purpose of describing them to your listeners. ‘I visited heaven and I saw this and that…I walked into this dimension and saw this and that…’
Why did you see it? What is the revelation of the experience?
Psalms 48:12-13; Walk about Zion, go round about her, tell the towers thereof, mark her bulwarks, consider her palaces that you may tell it to the generation following.
The message for the generation lies in the revelation of those experiences.
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 1:17-18, Proverbs 4:7
GOLDEN NUGGET:
The total sum of your ministry ought to be experiences in God. Even in those experiences, you have to pick out what is revelation.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the revelation of experiences; for the grace to inquire in your courts; for the wisdom to seek past just what I see but also understanding of the things that I see, hear and feel in the spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Proverbs 31:11(KJV) The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil
In marriage, trust is not based on evidence; it is a choice. It is not founded on what your spouse has said or not said or what they have done and not done. You choose.
Trust is seeing him come home late and not meditating on whether he is cheating on you or not. It is seeing her talking with another man and not pondering whether she is thinking of leaving you.
Learn to impute righteousness even in the absence of any thing that demonstrates righteousness on the part of the spouse. Call the things that are not as though they are (Romans 4:17).
Some people enter into marriage with their antennas highly tuned. They are suspicious of everything: why he said hello to another woman; why he hides his phone from you; why she works late some times.
Every little action on the part of the spouse amplifies their insecurities.
But you must make up your mind to trust regardless of whether you have your spouse’s word on an issue or not. Choose to trust. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesian 5:33, 1 John 4:18
GOLDEN NUGGET:
In marriage, trust is not based on evidence: it is a choice.
PRAYER: Father, thank you for this word. My marriage is built on the foundation of trust. Any form of insecurity is far from me. Because of this understanding, my marriage flourishes, is blessed and is an example to many. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbes 31:11(KJV) Le coeur de son mari a confiance en elle, Et les produits ne lui feront pas défaut.
Dans le mariage, la confiance n’est pas fondée sur des preuves ; c’est un choix. Ce n’est pas fondé sur ce que votre conjoint a dit ou pas dit ou ce qu’ils ont fait et pas fait. Tu choisis.
La confiance le voit rentrer chez lui tard et ne pas méditer si il vous trompe ou non. C’est la voir en train de parler avec un autre homme et de ne pas se demander si elle a l’intention de vous quitter.
Apprenez à imputer la justice même en l’absence de tout ce qui démontre la droiture de la part de l’époux. Appelez les choses qui ne sont pas comme si elles étaient (Romains 4:17).
Certaines personnes se marient avec leurs antennes hautement actualisées. Ils se méfient de tout : pourquoi il a dit bonjour à une autre femme ; pourquoi il cache son téléphone de vous ; pourquoi travaille-t-elle tard quelques fois.
Chaque petite action de la part de l’épouse amplifie leurs insécurités.
Mais vous devez vous décider à faire confiance, peu importe si vous avez le mot de votre conjoint sur un problème ou non. Choisissez de faire confiance. Alléluia !

2 Timothy 2:19 (KJV) Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
A man or woman of God is one who is possessed by God. It is not a title to make one feel more anointed. No. It is a state of distinctive ownership by God; not in the general sense of how we all belong to God but by His own personal and intimate convictions, they are His own.
A man or woman of God no longer works under the dictates of his or her own will but the will of God. The Lord told Peter, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not (John 21:18).
Some people are too alive in the flesh to be used by God. But when God owns you, you die to yourself and live for Him. He takes your life, your moments, your days, your silver, your gold, your intellect, your will and your heart. How owned by God are you?
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 6:20, Acts 20:28
GOLDEN NUGGET:
When God owns you, you die to yourself and live for Him. He takes your life, your moments and your days, your silver and gold, your intellect, your will and your heart.
PRAYER: Lord, what a privilege and an honour to be owned by you. This is the beginning of the greatest liberty in life because the liberties of the spirit are for men that lose their lives and find them in you. Because I am yours, there are things that can never befall me. You said if I make my bed in hell, you will be there; if I take the wings of the morning and fly to the uttermost parts of the sea, your hand will still lead me. Even if darkness were to cover me, you promised that night shall be like light around me. I cannot flee from your presence because you have possessed me. I know nothing of myself. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothée 2:19 (KJV) Néanmoins, le solide fondement de Dieu reste debout, avec ces paroles qui lui servent de sceau: Le Seigneur connaît ceux qui lui appartiennent; et: Quiconque prononce le nom du Seigneur, qu’il s’éloigne de l’iniquité.
Un homme ou une femme de Dieu est celui qui est possédé par Dieu. Ce n’est pas un titre que l’on est plus oint. Non. C’est un état de propriété distinctif par Dieu ; pas dans le sens général dont nous appartenons tous à Dieu mais par ses propres convictions personnelles et intimes, ils sont à Lui.
Un homme ou une femme de Dieu ne travaille plus sous les ordres de sa propre volonté que de la volonté de Dieu. L’Éternel dit à Pierre : “quand tu étais jeune, tu te cernais, et je suis allé vers le bas où tu veux ; mais quand tu seras vieux, tu étendras tes mains, et un autre te scinera, et te portera où tu ne veux pas (Jean 21 :18).”
Certaines personnes sont trop vivantes dans la chair pour être utilisées par Dieu. Mais quand Dieu vous possède, vous n’existez plus pour vous-même et vivez pour Lui. Il prend votre vie, vos moments, vos jours, votre argent, votre or, votre intelligence, votre volonté et votre cœur. Comment appartenez-vous à Dieu ?

C’est le début de la plus grande liberté dans la vie parce que les libertés de l’esprit sont pour les hommes qui perdent leur vie et les trouvent en toi. Parce que je suis à toi, il y a des choses qui ne peuvent jamais m’embarquer. Vous avez dit que si je fais mon lit en enfer, tu seras là ; si je prends les ailes du matin et je me dirige vers les parties les plus importantes de la mer, ta main me conduira encore. Même si les ténèbres devaient me couvrir, tu as promis que cette nuit sera comme une lumière autour de moi. Je ne peux pas fuir ta présence parce que tu m’as possédé. Je ne sais rien de moi-même.

1 Corinthians 8:8 (KJV) But meat commendeth us not to God
In the mind of God, depth in scripture is not a qualification for spiritual maturity. I have seen men who are commended because of ‘meat.’ They are called ‘deep’ preachers and to them that suffices to make them true men of God. However, this should not commend any one.
The Bible says, knowledge puffs up but love edifies (1 Corinthians 8:1).
The cardinal thing that commends us as ministers is love. The bible says, and though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing (1 Corinthians 13:1). Dig deeper in the truths of God but rise higher on the wings of His love.
By the God of truth, love is higher than knowledge (Ephesians 3:19). A man who ministers from merely knowledge is different from he who ministers from the place of love.
When you minister from the place of love, you minister the fullness of God because love is the total sum of the revelation of the person of God. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 3:18, 1 John 4:8
GOLDEN NUGGET:
Depth in scripture is not a qualification for spiritual maturity. What commends us as ministers is love. When you minister from the place of love, you minister the fullness of God because love is the total sum of the revelation of the person of God.
PRAYER: Father, your love has been shed abroad in my heart and is at work in my spirit. I demonstrate it as the distinctive mark of discipleship, for when we love, the world knows that we are your disciples. It is the wisdom of the prudent to know your way. You have said that I will hear a voice telling me, ‘this is the way, walk ye in it.’ Love is that way, the most excellent way. I walk in it every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

ISENGESHO: Mana, urukundo rwawe rurasendereye mu mutima wanjye kandi rurakora mu mwuka wanjye. Ndugaragaza nk’itandukaniro ry’umwigishwa, kuko iyo dukunze, isi imenya ko turi abigishwa bawe. Ni ubwenge bw’abihanganye kumenya inzira yawe. Wavuze ko nzumva ijwi rimbwira, ‘iyi niyo nzira, yigenderemo. ‘ iriya niyo nzira y’urukundo, inzira itunganye. Nyigenderamo buri munsi. Mu izina rya Yesu. Amen

1 Abakorinso 8:8 Kwonka eby’okurya tibyo bitusiimisa ahari Ruhanga. Ku tuba tutabiriire, tihariho ki tufeerwa; kandi ku tubirya, titwine ki twongyerwaho.
Omu nteekateeka ya Ruhanga, okumanya ebyahandiikirwe tikirikumanyisa ngu ori mukuru omu mwoyo. Ndeebire abantu abarikusiimisa ‘eby’okurya’. Nibeetwa ababurizi ‘b’amaani’ kandi ekyo nikibamara kubakora abaheereza ba Ruhanga abahikire. Kwonka, eki tikishemereire kuba eky’okwesiimisa. Baiburi negira eti obwengye bureeta okwetunguura, kwonka okukunda kwo kwombeka (1 Abakorinso 8:1). Ekintu ekikuru ekitushemereire kusiimisa nk’abaheereza n’okukunda. Baiburi negira eti n’obu naakugamba endimi z’abantu n’eza baamaraika, kwonka ntaine kukunda, nkaaba ndi nk’omuringa ogurikurangira n’ekyoma ekirikugamba (1 Abakorinso 13:1). Taho omutima kumanya amazima ga Ruhanga kwonka yebembeza okukunda.
Ahabwa Ruhanga w’amazima, okukunda kwa Kristo nikukira munonga okumanya kw’abantu (Abaefeso 3:19). Omuntu orikuheerereza omu kumanya tarikushushana n’orikuheerereza omu kukunda.
Waheerereza omu kukunda, noheereza obwa Ruhanga bwona ahabw’okuba okukunda nikwo buri kushuuruurirwa kwa Ruhanga. Hallelujah!

Ningugyenderamu burizooba. Omwiziina rya Yesu. Amiina.

Apôtre Grace Lubega
1 Corinthiens 8:8 (KJV) Ce n’est pas un aliment qui nous rapproche de Dieu
Dans l’esprit de Dieu, la profondeur dans l’écriture n’est pas une qualification pour la maturité spirituelle. J’ai vu des hommes qui sont recommandés à cause de la « viande ». Ils sont appelés prédicateurs « profonds » et à ceux qui suffisent à faire de vrais hommes de Dieu. Cependant, cela ne devrait pas faire l’éloge de personne.
La Bible dit que la connaissance souffle mais l’amour édifie (1 Corinthiens 8:1).
Le cardinal qui nous recommande en tant que ministres est l’amour. La Bible dit, et bien que j’ai le don de la prophétie, et que je comprenne tous les mystères et toutes les connaissances ; et quoique j’ai toute foi, afin que je puisse enlever les montagnes, et que je n’ai pas de charité, je ne suis rien (1 Corinthiens 13:1). Allez plus profondément dans les vérités de Dieu mais allez plus haut sur les ailes de Son amour.
Par le Dieu de la vérité, l’amour est plus élevé que la connaissance (Ephésiens 3:19). Un homme qui ne se sert que de la connaissance est différent de celui qui ministre à partir du lieu de l’amour.
Lorsque vous ministrez à partir du lieu de l’amour, vous ministrez la plénitude de Dieu parce que l’amour est la somme totale de la révélation de la personne de Dieu. Alléluia !
ETUDE COMPLEMENTAIRE : Ephésiens 3:18, 1 Jean 4:8
PEPITE D’OR : La profondeur dans l’écriture n’est pas une qualification pour la maturité spirituelle. Ce qui nous recommande en tant que ministres est l’amour. Lorsque vous ministrez à partir du lieu de l’amour, vous ministrez la plénitude de Dieu parce que l’amour est la somme totale de la révélation de la personne de Dieu.
PRIERE : Père, ton amour a été répandu dans mon cœur et travaille dans mon esprit. Je le démontre comme le signe distinctif de la discipline, car quand nous aimons, le monde sait que nous sommes tes disciples. C’est la sagesse du prudent de connaître ton chemin. Vous avez dit que j’entendrais une voix me dire : « Voilà, promenez-vous. » L’amour est ainsi, la manière la plus excellente. Je me promène tous les jours. Au nom de Jésus. Amen.
