The Phaneroo Devotion: From Slavery To Sonship - 1
Apostle Grace Lubega
Galatians 4:7 (KJV); Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.
—
A long time ago, I examined my life and realised that I did not have much to show for the many years that I had spent in employment.
I went to work every week, served my employer diligently and did what I had to do to get things done. However, I could not point to much and testify that this was an addition to my life.
I have known people who after the last day of their work with a certain employer will leave with nothing but that last month’s salary after many years of labour.
During that time of my life, my biological father approached me and said something extremely fundamental and which set me on a course of self-examination and inquiry. He said, in our local dialect, ‘My son, I hope you are not struggling with the spirit of slavery.’
Slavery is a mindset that will always limit how far one progresses in life. Boundaries will always exist to define the scope of a slave’s success and increase in life.
Slavery creates the mindset that one’s primary source of provision is their job, business or if one is a minister, then the offertory bag. Slavery looks at the insufficiencies of the self to define the extent of one’s growth.
That is not what God wills for you as His child. He says you are His seed and not a slave. It means that there must be a mindset shift. The seed of God has an abundance mentality. The seed of God does not look to his job as his source because he knows that no employer can ever pay enough. The seed of God defines his wealth not by his wages but by the inheritance he has in Christ.
You are a seed of God.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 1:18, 1 Corinthians 3:21-23
GOLDEN NUGGET: The seed of God has an abundance mentality. The seed of God does not look to his job as his source because he knows that no employer can ever pay him enough. The seed of God defines wealth not by his wages but by the inheritance he has in Christ.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for the glorious riches that are my portion in Christ. Thank You because I have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness. I can never lack for all things are mine. I look to You as my provider and source, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
OKUVA MU BUDDU OKUDDA MU KUBEERA OMWANA I
Omutume Grace Lubega
Abaggalatiya 4:7(KJV); Bwe kityo naawe tokyali muddu, naye mwana; oba ng’oli mwana, era oli musika ku bwa Katonda.
Ebiseera ebyayita, nafumiitiriza ku bulamu bwange era ne nzuula nti nnali sirina bingi bya kulaga olw’emyaka emingi gye namala nga nkozesebwa.
Nagendanga okukola buli wiiki, naweereza Mukama wange n’obunyiikivu era n’enkola kye nnalina okukola okumaliriza ebintu. Naye, saasobola kusonga ku bingi ne mpa obujulizi nti waliwo ekyali kyegasse ku bulamu bwange.
Mmanyi abantu ng’oluvanyuma lw’olunaku olusembayo okukola n’omukozesa omu bajja kugenda nga tebalina kantu konna okuggyako omusaala gw’omwezi ogusembyeyo oluvanyuma lw’emyaka emingi egy’okukola.
Mu biseera ebyo eby’obulamu bwange, Kitange anzaala mu mubiri yantuukirira n’aŋŋamba ekintu eky’enkizo ennyo era ne kinteeka ku lugendo olw’okwekebera n’okwebuuza. Yagamba, mu lulimi lwaffe olw’obuzaaliranwa, ‘Mwana wange, kansuubire tolafuubana na mwoyo gwa buddu.’
Obuddu y’endowooza ejja okukugiranga wala kyenkana ki omuntu gy’asobola okutuuka mu kukulaakulana mu bulamu. Ensalosalo zijjanga kubeerawo okusalawo ekkomo ly’obuwanguzi bw’omuddu era n’okweyongera kwe mu bulamu.
Obuddu butondawo endowooza nti ensibuko y’obugabirizi bw’omuntu esookerwako gwe mulimu gwe, eby’enfuna oba bw’aba omuweereza, olwo n’eba nsawo y’ebiweebwayo. Obuddu butunuulira ebitatuukiridde ku muntu okunnyonnyola ekkomo ly’okukula kw’omuntu.
Ekyo si Katonda ky’akwagaliza ng’omwana we. Agamba oli mwana so si muddu. Kitegeeza nti walina okubaawo okukyusa kw’endowooza. Omwana wa Katonda alina endowooza ey’omuyiika. Omwana wa Katonda tatunuulira mirimu gye ng’ensibuko ye kubanga akimanyi nti tewali mukozesa asobola kumusasula kimala. Omwana wa Katonda annyonnyola obugagga nga tasinziira ku musaala gwe naye ng’asinziira ku busika bw’alina mu Kristo.
Oli mwana wa Katonda.
Aleruya!

KUTOKA UTUMWA HADI KUWA MWANA I
Mtume Grace Lubega
Wagalatia 4:7 (NLT); Kama ni hivyo, wewe si mtumwa tena bali u mwana; na kama u mwana, basi, u mrithi kwa Mungu.
Muda mrefu uliopita, nilichunguza maisha yangu na kugundua kwamba sikuwa na mengi ya kuonyesha kwa miaka mingi ambayo nilitumia katika kazi ya kuajiriwa.
Nilikwenda kazini kila wiki, nikamtumikia mwajiri wangu kwa bidii na nilifanya yale niliyopaswa kufanya ili mambo yaende. Walakini, sikuweza kuonesha mengi na kushuhudia kwamba hii ilikuwa nyongeza ya maisha yangu.
Nimewajua watu ambao baada ya siku ya mwisho ya kazi zao kwa mwajiri fulani wataondoka bila chochote isipokuwa mshahara wa mwisho wa mwezi baada ya miaka mingi ya kazi.
Wakati huo wa maisha yangu, baba yangu mzazi alinikaribia na kusema jambo la msingi sana na ambalo liliniweka kwenye mkondo wa kujichunguza na kudadisi. Aliongea kwa lugha yetu mama, ‘Mwanangu, natumaini haupambani na roho ya utumwa.’
Utumwa ni mtazamo ambao daima utaweka kikomo katika namna mtu anavyopiga hatua maishani. Mipaka itakuwepo daima ili kufafanua wigo wa mafanikio na ongezeko katika maisha ya mtumwa.
Utumwa hujenga mtazamo kwamba chanzo kikuu cha mtu kujipatia riziki ni kazi yao, biashara au kama mtu ni mtumishi, basi mfuko wa sadaka. Utumwa huangalia upungufu binafsi ili kufafanua kiwango cha ukuaji wa mtu.
Hivyo sivyo Mungu anataka kwako kama mwana wake. Anasema wewe ni mbegu Yake na si mtumwa. Ina maana kwamba lazima kuwe na mabadiliko ya mtazamo. Wana wa Mungu wana mawazo ya utele. Wana hawatazamii kazi zao kama chanzo chao kwa sababu wanajua kwamba hakuna mwajiri anayeweza kuwalipa vya kutosha. Mbegu ya Mungu hufafanua mali zake na si kwa mishahara yao bali kwa urithi walio nao katika Kristo.
Wewe ni mbegu ya Mungu.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waefeso 1:18, 1 Wakorintho 3:21-23
UJUMBE MKUU: Wana wa Mungu wana mawazo ya utele. Wana hawatazamii kazi zao kama chanzo chao kwa sababu wanajua kwamba hakuna mwajiri anayeweza kuwalipa vya kutosha. Mbegu ya Mungu hufafanua mali zake na si kwa mishahara yao bali kwa urithi walio nao katika Kristo.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Asante kwa utajiri wa utukufu ambao ni sehemu yangu katika Kristo. Asante kwa sababu nimepewa mambo yote yanayohusu uzima na utauwa. Asante kwa sababu siwezi kukosa kwa maana vitu vyote ni vyangu. Ninakutazamia Wewe kama mpaji na chanzo changu, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
DE L’ESCLAVAGE À LA FILIATION
L’Apôtre Grace Lubega
Galates 4:7 (NBS); Ainsi tu n’es plus esclave, mais fils ; et si tu es fils, tu es aussi héritier, du fait de Dieu.
Il y a longtemps, j’ai examiné ma vie et j’ai réalisé que je n’avais pas grand-chose à montrer pendant les nombreuses années que j’avais passées dans l’emploi.
Je suis allé travailler chaque semaine, j’ai servi mon employeur avec diligence et j’ai fait ce que j’avais à faire pour faire avancer les choses. Cependant, je ne pouvais pas indiquer grand-chose et témoigner que c’était un ajout à ma vie.
J’ai connu des gens qui, après le dernier jour de leur travail chez un certain employeur, partiront avec rien d’autre que le salaire du dernier mois après de nombreuses années de travail.
Pendant cette période de ma vie, mon père biologique m’a approché et m’a dit quelque chose d’extrêmement fondamental et qui m’a mis sur la voie de l’auto-examen et de la recherche. Il a dit, dans notre dialecte local, “Mon fils, j’espère que tu ne luttes pas contre l’esprit de l’esclavage.”
L’esclavage est un état d’esprit qui limitera toujours la progression d’une personne dans la vie. Des frontières existeront toujours pour définir l’étendue du succès et de l’augmentation de la vie d’un esclave.
L’esclavage crée l’état d’esprit selon lequel la principale source d’approvisionnement est son travail, son entreprise ou, si l’on est ministre, le sac d’offrandes. L’esclavage regarde les insuffisances de soi pour définir l’étendue de sa croissance.
Ce n’est pas ce que Dieu veut pour vous en tant que Son enfant. Il dit que vous êtes sa semence et non un esclave. Cela signifie qu’il doit y avoir un changement de mentalité. La semence de Dieu a une mentalité d’abondance. La semence de Dieu ne considère pas son travail comme sa source parce qu’il sait qu’aucun employeur ne peut jamais payer assez. La semence de Dieu définit sa richesse non pas par son salaire mais par l’héritage qu’il a en Christ.
Vous êtes une semence de Dieu.
Alléluia!
APPROFONDISSEMENT: Ephésiens 1:18, 1 Corinthiens 3:21-23
PÉPITE D’OR: La semence de Dieu a une mentalité d’abondance. La semence de Dieu ne considère pas son travail comme sa source parce qu’il sait qu’aucun employeur ne pourra jamais le payer suffisamment. La semence de Dieu définit la richesse non pas par son salaire mais par l’héritage qu’il a en Christ.
PRIÈRE: Père bien-aimé, je te remercie pour cette vérité. Merci pour les richesses glorieuses qui sont ma part en Christ. Merci parce que j’ai reçu toutes les choses qui se rapportent à la vie et à la piété. Je ne peux jamais manquer car tout est à moi. Je te considère comme mon pourvoyeur et ma source, au nom de Jésus, Amen.
