Apostle Grace Lubega

Jeremiah 29:13 (AMP); Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find me when you search for Me with all your heart.

Why is it that some people seek for God but do not find Him?

Is it because God does not want to be found? No. He said in His Word that He has not called the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain (Isaiah 45:19).

Rather, God has terms on which He is to be sought and found. Some of these terms are revealed in our theme scripture.

If a man must find God, He must seek Him as a VITAL NECESSITY. In our pursuit of intimacy with God, we are not to seek Him as one among many options.

God is not an alternative, He is the answer.

If your spirit is not awakened to the infallibility of this truth, you will continue to make prayerless prayers, which are prayers people make to simply satisfy their consciences that they have prayed.

The Message Bible version of our theme scripture puts it this way, “When you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.”

When we seek God, we must stake our very existence on Him. That is what it means to seek Him as a vital necessity.

FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 45:19, Psalm 119:2

GOLDEN NUGGET: If a man must find God, He must seek Him as a VITAL NECESSITY. In our pursuit of intimacy with God, we are not to seek Him as one among many options. God is not an alternative, He is the answer.

PRAYER: Loving Father I thank You for this truth. I am a seeker of the Master. I do it like my life depends on it because it does. With my whole mind, body and spirit, I seek You and find You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Omutume Grace Lubega

Yeremiya 29:13 (AMP); Era [n’okuyayaana okw’ebuziba] mulinnoonya era mulinneetaaga [ng’ekyetaago ekikulu] era [mwe muli] ndaba, bwe mulinkenneenya n’omutima gwammwe gwonna.

YONGERA OSOME: Isaaya 45:19, Zabbuli 119:2

HITAJI MUHIMU

Mtume Grace Lubega

Yeremia 29:13 (KJV); Nanyi mtanitafuta na kuniona, mtakaponitafuta kwa moyo wenu wote.

Ni kwa nini watu wengine hutafuta Mungu lakini hawampati?

Ni kwa sababu Mungu hataki kupatikana? Hapana. Alisema katika Neno lake kwamba hajawaita wazao wa Yakobo kumtafutata bila mafanikio (Isaya 45:19).

Badala yake, Mungu ana masharti ambayo anapaswa kutafutwa na kupatikana. Mojawapo ya masharti hayo yamedhihirishwa katika Andiko letu la mada.

Ikiwa ni lazima mwanadamu ampate Mungu, ni lazima amtafute kama HITAJI MUHIMU. Katika harakati zetu za kutafuta ukaribu na Mungu, hatutakiwi kumtafuta kama moja kati ya chaguo nyingi.

Mungu sio mbadala, yeye ndiye jibu. Ikiwa roho yako haijaamshwa na kusimama kwa kweli hii, utaendelea kufanya maombi yasiyokamilifu, haya ni maombi ambayo watu wengine hufanya ili kuridhisha tu dhamira zao kuwa wameomba.

Tolea la “The Message Bible” la andiko letu la mada limeiweka hivi, “utakapokuwa makini kunitafuta na kulitaka kuliko kitu kingine chochote, nitahakikishwa hutakatishwa tamaa.

Tunapotafuta Mungu, ni lazima tuhatarishe uhai wetu juu yake. Hiyo ndiyo maana ya kumtafuta kama hitaji muhumu.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Isaya 45:19, Zaburi 119:2

UJUMBE MKUU: Ikiwa ni lazima mwanadamu ampate Mungu, ni lazima amtafute kama HITAJI MUHIMU. Katika harakati zetu za kutafuta ukaribu na Mungu, hatutakiwi kumtafuta kama moja kati ya chaguo nyingi. Mungu sio mbadala, Yeye ndiye jibu.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Mimi ni mtafutaji wa Bwana. Nafanya hivi kana kwamba maisha yangu yanaitegemea kwa sababu yanaitegemea. Kwa akili, mwili na roho yangu yote, ninakutafuta na kukupata. Katika Jina la Yesu, Amina.
