Apostle Grace Lubega

Revelation 2:4 (KJV); Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Jesus Christ is our first love.

The Amplified Version of our theme scripture says, “But I have this[charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].

Do you remember the time when you hungered for His presence like your life depended on it? Were there moments when you could not wait to be before Him because you knew what His presence could do? What happened to the days when you sang, ‘your presence is like heaven to me’ and truly meant it?

Some Christians have since disconnected from this level of fellowship.

What happened?

They became too preoccupied with the demands of life on their time until God’s relevance to them dwindled to Him being a box to tick off on a to-do list.

How does He stop being the priority because you got busy–busy building your career, taking care of your family or growing your business?

Nothing, even what we do by way of service in the gospel, should substitute the necessity for personal fellowship with God. He is the priority, deserves our time and is the habitual center of our attention.

Praise Him!

FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 122:1, Psalm 42:1

GOLDEN NUGGET: Nothing, even what we do by way of service in the gospel, should substitute the necessity for personal fellowship with God. He is the priority, deserves our time and is the habitual center of our attention.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for convicting my spirit to long for deeper communion. You have my attention and my heart. Nothing can stand in the way of our relationship and communion because You are the greatest desire of my heart, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

OKUGONZA KWAITU OKW’OKUBANZA

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Okusukur’wa 2:4: Baitu nyina ekigambo haliwe, baitu okaleka okugonza kwawe okwokubanza.

Noijuka obusumi obu wahurraga enjara ey’okubaho kwa Ruhanga nka nandiki obwomezi bwawe bwayemerraga halukwo? Haroho obusumi nambere okaba otakusobora kulinda kuba omu maisoge habwokuba okaba omanyire okubahokwe ekikusobora kukora? Kiki ekyabaireho ebiro obu wazinaga, ‘ okubaho Kwawe kuli nk’iguru hali nyowe ‘ kandi obu nokimanyisa?

UPENDO WETU WA KWANZA

Mtume Grace Lubega

Ufunuo 2:4 (KJV); Lakini nina neno juu yako, ya kwamba umeuacha upendo wako wa kwanza.

Yesu Kristo ni upendo wetu wa kwanza.  

Toleo la Amplified katika andiko letu kuu linasema, “Lakini nina hili [shtaka] dhidi yako, kwamba umeuacha upendo wako wa kwanza [umeacha kina cha upendo ulichokuwa nacho Kwangu.”

Unakumbuka muda ambao ulikuwa na njaa ya uwepo Wake kama vile maisha yako yalitegemea hilo? Kulikuwa na nyakati ulisubiria kuwa kabla Yake kwa sababu ulifahamu uwepo Wake unaweza kufanya nini? Kulitokea nini kwa zile siku ulipoimba, ‘uwepo wako ni kama mbingu kwangu’ na kweli ulimaanisha?

Baadhi ya Wakristo tangu hapo wamejitenga kutoka katika kiwango hiki cha ushirika.

Kulitokea nini?

Walikuwa ni wenye shughuli nyingi na mahitaki ya maisha katika muda wao hadi umuhimu wa Mungu kwao ulipopungua na Yeye kuwa sanduku la kuweka alama ya kuhakiki katika orodha ya mambo ya kufanya.

Anasitishwa vipi kuwa kipaumbele kwa sababu katika shughuli–shughuli za kujenga kazi yako, kujali familia au kukuza biashara yako?

Hakuna, hata tunachofanya kwa njia ya huduma katika injili, kinapaswa kubadili umuhimu wa ushirika binafsi na Mungu. Yeye ni kipaumbele, anastahili muda wetu na ni desturi kuwa kitovu cha umakini wetu.

Msifuni!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Zaburi 122:1, Zaburi 42:1

UJUMBE MKUU: Hakuna, hata tunachofanya kwa njia ya huduma katika injili, kinapaswa kubadili umuhimu wa ushirika binafsi na Mungu. Yeye ni kipaumbele, anastahili muda wetu na ni desturi kuwa kitovu cha umakini wetu.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Asante kwa kugeuza roho yangu kutamani ushirika kwa kina. Una umakini wangu na moyo wangu. Hakuna kinachoweza kusimama katika utaratibu wa uhusiano na ushirika wetu kwa sababu Wewe ni haja kuu ya moyo wangu, katika jina la Yesu. Amina.
