Apostle Grace Lubega

Jeremiah 12:5 (AMP); [The Lord rebukes Jeremiah for his impatience, saying] “If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace [where you feel secure], Then how will you do [among the lions] in the [flooded] thicket beside the Jordan?

The Christian life is riddled with many trials. The psalmist lays out this sobering fact in Psalm 34:19 (AMP) when he says that many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous. Men may hate you without cause, those closest to you may betray you and sometimes, your plans may not turn out like you wish.

What then is your attitude in the face of trouble?

God gave the answer to the prophet Jeremiah in the form of the questions He asked him in our theme scripture. “If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace [where you feel secure], Then how will you do [among the lions] in the [flooded] thicket beside the Jordan?”

In other words, if you are crying over how difficult your present circumstance is, how will you respond when something worse comes your way?

Worse things may happen, child of God! What is your attitude? God, loving as He is, does not pet Christians. He knows that in you is the ability to withstand even the harshest of storms. You must believe it too.

How steady is your spirit? What is your tenacity in the face of adversity? How tough-skinned are you?

Never forget who you are and who is in you! Remind yourself that if your enemies dare throw you to the wolves, you will return leading the pack. If they bury you, you will sprout again because you are a seed!

There is no easier way, there are only harder Christians.

Have a divine attitude!

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 2 Timothy 2:3, James 1:2-3

GOLDEN NUGGET: God, loving as He is, does not pet Christians. He knows that in you is the ability to withstand even the harshest of storms. You must believe it too.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. You are the strength of my spirit. I can never cower in the face of adversity because I know who is in me. I burn hotter than any fire and blow harder than the harshest storm because the greater one lives in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

MTAZAMO WA KIMUNGU

Mtume Grace Lubega

Yeremia 12:5 (AMP); Bwana anamkemea Yeremia kwa kukosa subira kwake, akisema: Ikiwa umepiga mbio pamoja na hao waendao kwa miguu, nao wamekuchosha, basi wawezaje kushindana na farasi? Na ujapokuwa katika nchi ya amani [ambapo unajisikia uko salama], lakini utafanyaje [kati ya simba] kwenye kichaka [kilichojaa mafuriko] kando ya Yordani?

Maisha ya Kikristo yamejaa majaribu mengi. Mtunga-zaburi anaweka ukweli huu wa kufikiria katika Zaburi 34:19 (AMP) anaposema shida nyingi na hali zenye kutatanisha huwakabili waadilifu. Watu wanaweza kukuchukia bila sababu, wale walio karibu nawe wanaweza kukusaliti na wakati mwingine, mipango yako inaweza isitokee kama vile unavyotaka.

Je! Ni nini basi mtazamo wako wakati wa shida?

Mungu alimpa nabii Yeremia jibu kwa njia ya maswali ambayo alimwuliza katika andiko letu kuu. “Ikiwa umepiga mbio pamoja na hao waendao kwa miguu, nao wamekuchosha, basi wawezaje kushindana na farasi? Na ujapokuwa katika nchi ya amani [ambapo unajisikia uko salama], lakini utafanyaje [kati ya simba] kwenye kichaka [kilichojaa mafuriko] kando ya Yordani?”

Kwa maneno mengine, ikiwa unalia juu ya jinsi hali yako ya sasa ilivyo ngumu, utajibu vipi wakati kitu kibaya zaidi kikujapo kwako?

Mambo mabaya zaidi yanaweza kutokea, mwana wa Mungu! Je! Una mtazamo gani? Mungu, mpenzi kama Alivyo, huwa hawabembelezi Wakristo. Anajua kuwa ndani yako kuna uwezo wa kuhimili hata dhoruba kali zaidi. Lazima pia uiamini.

Je! Roho yako iko thabiti? Je! Nini msimamo wako wakati wa shida? Je! Wewe una ngozi ngumu?

Kamwe usisahau utu wako na Aliye ndani yako! Jikumbushe kwamba ikiwa maadui zako watathubutu kukutupa kwa mbwa mwitu, utarudi ukiwaongoza. Wakikuzika, utachipuka tena kwa sababu wewe ni mbegu!

Hakuna njia rahisi zaidi, kuna Wakristo wagumu tu.

Kuwa na mtazamo wa kimungu!

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 2 Timotheo 2:3, Yakobo 1:2-3

UJUMBE MKUU: Mungu, mpenzi kama Alivyo, huwa hawabembelezi Wakristo. Anajua kuwa ndani yako kuna uwezo wa kuhimili hata dhoruba kali zaidi. Lazima pia uiamini.

SALA: Baba mpenzi, Ninakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Wewe ndiye nguvu ya roho yangu. Siwezi kamwe kuogopa mbele ya shida kwa sababu najua Yule aliye ndani yangu. Ninawaka zaidi ya moto wowote na kuvuma kwa nguvu kuliko dhoruba kali kwa sababu Yule Mkuu Zaidi anaishi ndani yangu. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
