The Phaneroo Devotion: Of Divine Sovereignty And Human Responsibility
Apostle Grace Lubega
Isaiah 38: 1-5(KJV); In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord…Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
The sovereignty of God does not remove human responsibility towards the things of the Spirit.
Sometimes, people use divine sovereignty as an excuse to sit back and do nothing; it becomes the reason for their indifference and passive attitude towards their part and portion in the gospel.
This mentality is the reason why some Christians make statements such as, “There is nothing I can do about this situation. God has already decided and may His will be done.”
God proved to us through the story of Hezekiah that He can set aside His sovereignty if a man can dare to provoke Him by prayer or when a man in humility breaks before Him.
Divine sovereignty should not be divorced from human responsibility. This understanding is why Mary provokes a miracle out of the Christ outside His time(John 2:4).
God is looking for a man who is hungry enough to redefine heavenly seasons and times by the liberties of faith; a man who will move God for the now even when He intended something for tomorrow.
His name be praised!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Divine sovereignty should not be divorced from human responsibility. God is looking for a man who is hungry enough to redefine heavenly seasons and times by the liberties of faith; a man who will move God for the now even when He intended something for tomorrow.
PRAYER: My Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. You have said in Your Word that concerning the works of Your hand, command me. I rejoice in this liberty. In this knowledge, I define seasons and times and establish greatness on the earth. To the glory of Your name, Amen.
OBUYINZA OBW’OBWAKATONDA OBW’ENKOMEREDDE N’OBUVUNAANYIZIBWA OBW’ABANTU
Omutume Grace Lubega
Isaaya 38:1-5(KJV); Mu biro ebyo Keezeekiya n’alwala kumpi n’okufa. Isaaya nabbi mutabani wa Amozi n’ajja gy’ali n’amugamba nti Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama nti Teekateeka ennyumba yo; kubanga ogenda kufa so togenda kulama. Awo Keezeekiya n’akyusiza amaaso ge ku kisenge ne yeegayirira Mukama…Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Isaaya nti
Genda ogambe Keezeekiya nti Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Dawudi kitaawo, nti Mpulidde okusaba kwo, ndabye amaziga go: laba, ndyongera ku nnaku zo emyaka kkumi n’etaano.
Obuyinza bwa Katonda obwenkomeredde tebujjaawo buvunaanyizibwa bw’abantu eri ebintu eby’omwoyo.
Ebiseera ebimu, abantu bakozesa obuyinza bwa Katonda obw’enkomeredde ng’ekyekwaso eky’okwesuulirayo ogwa naggamba era n’ebatabaako kintu kyonna kye bakola; kifuuka ensonga eviirako eneeyisa yabwe enkyamu, n’okubeera n’endowooza ey’obutafaayo eri ekitundu era n’ekifo kyabwe mu njiri.
Endowooza eno y’ensonga lwaki Abakristaayo abamu boogera ebigambo ebyefaananyirizaako gakino “Tewali kyennyinza kukola ku mbeera eno. Katonda amaze okusalawo era leka okwagala kwe kukolebwe.”
Katonda yatukakasa ng’ayita mu lugero lwa Keezeekiya nti asobola okuteeka ku mabbali okusalawo kw’obuyinza bwe obw’enkomeredde, singa omuntu amalirira okumusoomooza n’okusaba oba singa omuntu yeetowaza gyali mu buwombefu.
Obuyinza bwa Katonda obwenkomeredde tebulina kwawukanyizibwa ku buvunaanyizibwa bw’omuntu. Entegeera eno y’ensonga lwaki Maliyamu yaleetera eky’amagero okubaawo okuva mu Kristo nga kiri wabweru wessaawa ze ez’okukola. (Yokaana 2:4)
Katonda anoonya omusajja omuyala ekimala asobola okyusaamu entegeka z’ebiro by’eggulu, ng’ayita mubbeetu ly’okukkiriza: omuntu anaatambuza Katonda mu kiseera kya kaakati newankubadde nga entegeka ya katonda ey’okutambula ebadde yankeera!
Erinnya lye ligulumizibwe!
YONGERA OSOME: Yokaana 2:4, Yokaana 7:6
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Obuyinza bwa Katonda obwenkomeredde tebulina kwawukanyizibwa ku buvunaanyizibwa bw’omuntu. Katonda anoonya omusajja omuyala ekimala asobola okyusaamu entegeka z’ebiro by’eggulu, ng’ayita mubbeetu ly’okukkiriza: omuntu anaatambuza Katonda mu kiseera kya kaakati newankubadde ng’entegeka ya katonda ey’okutambula ebadde yankeera!
ESSAALA: Kitange omwagalwa, nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Ongambye mu kigambo kyo nti ku kikwatagana ku mirimu gy’emikono Gyo, tukulagire. Nsanyukira mu ddembe lino. Mu kumanya kuno, nsalawo ebiro n’ebiseera bwe binaaba era nyweza obusukkulumu buno ku nsi. Ku lw’ekitiibwa ky’Erinnya lyo, Amiina.

Isaaya 38:1-5 Omu biro ebyo Hezekia akarwara, yaahika aha ncwamba za rufu. Nabi Isaaya mwene Amozi yaija ah’ari, yaamugira ati: Oku nikwo MUKAMA arikugamba naagira ati: Tebeekanisa eka yaawe; ahabw’okuba noija kufa, tori w’okukira. Ahonaaho Hezekia yaahinduka, yaareeba ekisiika, yaashaba MUKAMA naagira ati: Ai MUKAMA, ninkweshengyereza ijuka hati oku ngyendeire omu maisho gaawe omu bwesigwa n’omutima oguhikire, ninkora ebi orikusiima. Yaarira munonga. Bwanyima ekigambo kya MUKAMA kyaija ahari Isaaya nikigira kiti: Garukayo ogambire Hezekia oti: Oku nikwo MUKAMA, Ruhanga wa Daudi shwenkuru, arikugamba naagira ati: Naahurira okushaba kwawe, kandi naareeba n’amarira gaawe; reeba, niinyija kukwongyeraho emyaka ikumi n’etaano.

Ruhanga akatuhamiza omu byahandiikirwe ahari Hezekia ngu nabaasa kuta obushoboorozi bwe aharubaju, omuntu yagyezaho kumushaba nari omuntu yahendeka omu maisho gye n’obucureezi.
Obushoboorozi bw’obwa Ruhanga tibushemereire kutanisibwa n’obuvunanizibwa bw’abantu. Enyetegyereza egi niyo ahabwenki Mariamu yatungire eky’okutangaaza kuruga ahari Kristo ekyabaire kitari omu bwiire bwe (Yohaana 2:4).
Ruhanga nasherura omuntu oine enjara nyingi kushoboorora obunaku bwa Iguru n’ebiro ahabw’obusingye bw’okwikiriza; omuntu oraretere Ruhanga yamugarukamu hati ekiyakubaire nakora omu biro by’omu maisho.
Eiziina rye rihimbisibwe!
SHOMA NEEBI: Yohaana 2:4, Yohaana 7:6
EZAABU: Obushoboorozi bw’obwa Ruhanga tibushemereire kutanisibwa n’obuvunanizibwa bw’abantu. Ruhanga nasherura omuntu oine enjara nyingi kushoboorora obunaku bwa Iguru n’ebiro ahabw’obusingye bw’okwikiriza; omuntu oraretere Ruhanga yamugarukamu hati ekiyakubaire nakora omu biro by’omu maisho.
OKUSHABA: Taata omukundwa, ninkusiima ahabw’amazima aga. Okagira omu kigambo kyaawe oti mundagiire okundatwaaze ebindikukora nemikono yangye. Ninyesiima omu busingye obu. Omu kumanya oku, ninshoboorora obunaku kandi nyoreka obukuru omunsi. Omu eiziina rya Yesu, Amiina.
