The Phaneroo Devotion: God’s Work In Us
Apostle Grace Lubega
Philippians 3:12 (NLT): “I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.”

When we walk with God, He deals with certain things in our lives. These may be difficult circumstances, lingering afflictions, or events that shake our stability.
It is true—God saves, delivers, and changes situations. He intervenes in powerful and miraculous ways. Yet spiritual maturity calls us to understand a higher dimension of how He works.
God is not only interested in changing your circumstances. His primary desire is to transform you. More than removing the storm, He wants to strengthen the sailor. More than calming the waves, He wants to fortify your faith.
Why is this so important to the Father? Because He knows that once He has dealt with you, external threats lose their power. When He strengthens your heart, even a medical report will not shake you. When He educates your spirit, intimidation and fear lose their voice. When He floods your understanding with light, challenges in your job, marriage, or ministry will no longer define your peace.
Here are some key pointers to allow Him to work in you.
1. Build Inner Strength: Ephesians 3:16 speaks of being strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man. Make this your daily confession.
2. Embrace Refining Seasons: When God corrects, stretches, or challenges you, do not judge him foolishly. Growth often feels uncomfortable, but it produces spiritual depth.
3. Guard Your Peace: Protect your inner calm through prayer, worship, and meditation on the Word. Refuse to allow external storms to dictate your internal state.
Allow God to deal with you instead of fixing your heart on what is not working. Your inner peace and strength matter more to Him than the raging storms around you. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Allow God to deal with you instead of fixing your heart on what is not working. Your inner peace and strength matter more to Him than the raging storms around you.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this Word. Thank You for what You are doing in me. I yield to Your Spirit—shape me, instruct me, and refine me in all Your ways. As You deal with me, the things of this world grow strangely dim, and my spirit grows stronger in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
