The Phaneroo Devotion: Our Mandate - The Fire In Our Bones
Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Corinthians 9:16 (KJV); For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
The apostle Paul was a man of very deep revelations. The knowledge he was entrusted with laid necessity upon him.
The Message Bible translation of our theme scripture says that he was doomed if he did not proclaim the message of Christ.
This necessity does not apply only to preachers of the gospel. The knowledge that is being availed by God cascades to various disciplines. It is affecting the career woman, the businessman, the student, the wife, the husband, the doctor, the sociologist and all manner of people.
As knowledge increases, it CAN NOT leave a man passive. Look at the experience of Prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 20:9. He says, “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his Word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.”
This was a man who thought he could receive knowledge and stay indifferent. The knowledge was like fire in his bones, mocking his silence and restraint.
Similarly, we can no longer afford political correctness because we are attempting to package the message in a socially acceptable way that does not offend tender sensibilities. The fire in our bones cannot allow it.
In this generation, because of the increase of knowledge, men will say, woe unto me if I do not change my nation, woe unto me if I do not transform my industry, woe unto me if I do not revolutionise the world of business!
All to the glory of God, hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: In this generation, because of the increase of knowledge, men will say, woe unto me if I do not change my nation, woe unto me if I do not transform my industry, woe unto me if I do not revolutionise the world of business!
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I thank You for the power of Your Word and of knowledge. My spirit is open to what You are pouring out and receive it with deep gratitude. I launch deeper in You, see with greater clarity and with higher vision. I manifest the savour of Your knowledge in every place, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Omutume Grace Lubega
1 Abakkolinso 9:16 (KJV); Kubanga bwe mbuulira Enjiri, ekyo tekinneenyumiririzisa, kubanga mpalirizibwa okugibuulira. Ziba zinsanze, bwe ssibuulira njiri.

Ng’okumanya kweyongera, TEKUSOBOLA kuleka muntu ng’atalina ky’akola. Tunuulira ensisinkana ya Nnabbi Yeremiya mu Yeremiya 20:9. Ayogera “Era bwe njogera nti, Siimwogereko, so sikyayogerera mu linnya lye, kale mu mutima gwange muba ng’omuli omuliro ogubuubbuuka ogusibibwa mu magumba gange, era nga nkooye okuguwanirira, era sisobola.”

1 Abakolinso 9:16 (KJV); Baitu obundaba nintebeza enjiri, tinyina kyokwenyumiza nyenka; baitu okuhambirizibwa kuli hali nyowe: baitu zirimbona obuntatebeza enjiri.
Omukwenda Paulo yali musaija w’okusukulirwa okwenziha muno. Okumanya okuyakwasibwe kukamuletera okuhambirizibwa.

AMRI YETU – MOTO KATIKA MIFUPA YETU
Mtume Grace Lubega
1 Wakorintho 9:16 (KJV); Maana, ijapokuwa naihubiri Injili, sina la kujisifia; maana nimewekewa sharti; tena ole wangu nisipoihubiri Injili!
Mtume Paulo alikuwa mtu wa mafunuo mazito sana. Ujuzi aliokabidhiwa uliweka sharti kwake.
Toleo la ‘Ujumbe’ la andiko letu la mada linasema kuwa angehukumiwa ikiwa hangetangaza ujumbe wa Kristo.
Sharti hii haihusu wahubiri wa injili pekee. Ujuzi unaotolewa na Mungu huangazia taaluma mbalimbali. Unaathiri mwanamke wa kazi, mfanyabiashara, mwanafunzi, mke, mume, daktari, mwanasosholojia na kila aina ya watu.
Maarifa yanapoongezeka, HAYAWEZI kumwacha mtu bila kazi. Angalia uzoefu wa Nabii Yeremia katika Yeremia 20:9. Anasema, “Nami nikisema, Sitamtaja, wala sitasema tena kwa jina lake; basi, ndipo moyoni mwangu kumekuwamo kama moto uwakao, uliofungwa ndani ya mifupa yangu, nami nimechoka kwa kustahimili, wala siwezi kujizuia.”
Huyu alikuwa mtu ambaye alifikiri angeweza kupokea ujuzi na kukaa kama asiyejali. Ujuzi huo ulikuwa kama moto katika mifupa yake, ukidhihaki kunyamaza kwake na kujizuia kwake.
Vile vile, hatuwezi tena kumudu usahihi wa kisiasa kwa sababu tunajaribu kuweka ujumbe kwa njia inayokubalika kijamii ambayo haiudhi hisia za huruma. Moto katika mifupa yetu haiwezi kuiruhusu.
Katika kizazi hiki, kwa sababu ya kuongezeka kwa maarifa, watu watasema, ole wangu nisipobadili taifa langu, ole wangu nisipoibadilisha tasnia yangu, ole wangu nisipoleta mapinduzi katika ulimwengu wa biashara!
Yote kwa utukufu wa Mungu, haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yeremia 20:9, Ayubu 32:18-20
UJUMBE MKUU: Katika kizazi hiki kwa sababu ya kuongezeka kwa maarifa, watu watasema, ole wangu nisipobadili taifa langu, ole wangu nisipoibadili sekta yangu, ole wangu nisipofanya mapinduzi katika ulimwengu wa biashara!
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Ninakushukuru kwa nguvu ya Neno lako na maarifa. Roho yangu iko wazi kwa kile unachomimina na ninaipokea kwa shukrani nyingi. Ninazindua ndani zaidi ndani Yako, ninaona kwa uwazi zaidi na kwa maono ya juu zaidi. Ninadhihirisha harufu ya kukujua kila mahali, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
