The Phaneroo Devotion: Faithfulness To The Assignment
Apostle Grace Lubega
Colossians 3:23-24 (KJV); And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
In this life of ministry, I have often heard references to minor prophets, specifically while we speak of men like Haggai or Ezra and major prophets when referring to men like Isaiah or Jeremiah.
Some Christians have created a doctrine out of this and refer to themselves as ‘major prophets’ while others are ‘minor prophets.’
The word minor or major was adopted for referential purposes. This difference does not define the weight of the responsibility given to each of these prophets by God. It does not imply that they were men of lesser authority in the Spirit. The vindication of the prophet is in his faithfulness to the assignment given by God.
What’s the lesson for us herein? God rewards faithfulness above gifting. A man may have a major assignment but is unfaithful in delivering it while another may have a lesser assignment but is very faithful in executing it.
An usher in the background working diligently and consistently can have a greater reward than a man of God on a pulpit who treats his altar with casual irreverence.
Regardless of where God has placed you in service, work in the spirit of our theme scripture: diligently, giving it your all because your service is unto the Lord and not men.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: God rewards faithfulness above gifting.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for continuously revealing to me Your ways. I am a diligent spirit and serve You with everything in me. I cultivate a life of dedicated service to You, that wherever You will call and send me, I will always be committed and available, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Abakkolosayi 3:23-24 (KJV); Buli kye munaakolanga mukolenga n’omwoyo, nga ku bwa Mukama waffe so si ku bwa bantu; nga mumanyi nga mulisasulibwa Mukama waffe empeera ey’obusika: muli baddu ba Mukama waffe Kristo.
Mu bulamu buno obw’obuweereza, bulijjo mpulira okugeraageranyizibwa ku ba nnabbi aba wansiko ku balala, naddala nga twogera ku bantu nga Kaggayi ne Ezera ne ba nnabbi aba waggulu ku balala nga twogera ku basajja nga Isaaya oba Yeremiya.
Abakrisitaayo abamu batonzewo enjigiriza okuva mu kino nga beeyita ba ‘nnabbi aba waggulu’ ng’era abalala babayita ba ‘nnabbi aba wansi.’
Ekigambo owa wansi oba owa waggulu kyakozesebwa kuyambako mu kunoonya ebitabo bino. Enjawulo eno teraga buzito bwa buvunaanyizibwa obwaweebwa eri buli omu ku ba nnabbi bano okuva eri Katonda. Tekitegeeza nti baali basajja abaalina obuyinza obwa wansiko mu Mwoyo.
Ekikakasa nnabbi bwe bwesigwa bwe eri omulimu ogumuwereddwa Katonda.
Tuyiga ki mu kino?
Katonda agaba empeera eri obwesigwa waggulu w’ekirabo. Omuntu ayinza okubeera n’okutumibwa okw’omugaso ogwa waggulu wabula n’ataba mwesigwa mu kukutuukiriza, ate omulala n’aba n’okutumibwa okw’omugaso ogwa wansiko naye nga mwesigwa mu kukutuukiriza.
Omukebezi emabega eyo nga akola n’obwesimbu n’obunyiikivu asobola okubeera n’empeera enneneko ku y’omusajja wa Katonda ku kituuti atwala ekyoto nga ekya bulijjo.
Ssi nsonga wa Katonda w’akutadde mu buweereza, kolera mu mwoyo gw’ekyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo: mu bunyiikivu, nga weewaayo wenna kubanga okuweereza kwo kuli eri Katonda so ssi bantu.

UAMINIFU KWA JUKUMU
Mtume Grace Lubega
Wakolosai 3:23-24 (KJV); Lolote mfanyalo, lifanyeni kwa moyo, kama kwa Bwana, wala si kwa wanadamu; mkijua ya kuwa mtapokea kwa Bwana ujira wa urithi; mnamtumikia Bwana Kristo.
Katika maisha haya ya huduma, mara nyingi nimesikia marejeo ya manabii wadogo, hasa wakati tunazungumza juu ya watu kama Hagai au Ezra na manabii wakuu tunaporejea kwa watu kama Isaya au Yeremia.
Baadhi ya Wakristo wametengeneza mafundisho kutokana na hili na kujiita ‘manabii wakuu’ wakati wengine ni ‘manabii wadogo.’
Neno wadogo au wakuu lilichukuliwa kwa madhumuni ya marejeo. Tofauti hii haifafanui uzito wa jukumu alilopewa kila mmoja wa manabii hawa na Mungu. Haimaanishi kwamba walikuwa watu wa mamlaka ndogo katika Roho. Kuthibitishwa kwa nabii ni katika uaminifu wake kwa jukumu alilopewa na Mungu.
Je, ni somo gani kwetu hapa? Mungu hutoa thawabu kwa uaminifu zaidi ya karama. Mtu anaweza kuwa na jukumu kubwa lakini asiwe mwaminifu katika kulikamilisha huku mwingine akiwa na jukumu ndogo lakini ni mwaminifu sana kulitekeleza.
Mtumishi anayekuwa nyuma akiongoza watu na anayefanya kazi kwa bidii na bila kukoma anaweza kuwa na thawabu kubwa kuliko mtumishi wa Mungu anayetendea madhabahu yake kwa kutoiheshimu.
Bila kujali ni wapi Mungu amekuweka katika huduma, fanya kazi katika roho ya andiko letu kuu: kwa bidii, ukijitolea kabisa kwa sababu huduma yako ni kwa Bwana na wala si kwa wanadamu.
Haleluya!

UJUMBE MKUU: Mungu hutoa thawabu kwa uaminifu zaidi ya karama.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Asante kwa kuendelea kunifunulia njia Zako. Mimi ni roho mwenye bidii na ninakutumikia kwa kila kitu ndani yangu. Ninastawisha maisha ya utumishi ya kujitolea Kwako, ili popote utakaponiita na kunituma, nitakuwa nimejitolea na kupatikana kila wakati, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
