The Phaneroo Devotion: The Christ-Built Church
Apostle Grace Lubega
Matthew 16:18(KJV): And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
—
Jesus’ promise about His church was that He would build it Himself.
Naming a church ‘Jesus-Something-Ministries’ does not mean that Christ is building it.
The consecration of the ministry is not in its name.
There are many churches named after the Lord Jesus that have thrown out everything He represents.
As a minister of the gospel, you must ask yourself the critical question, “Am I building my church or is He building His church through me?”
This question is also critical for the congregant. Are you in a Christ-built or man-built ministry?
When Christ builds, He does not draw men to the man or woman of God who leads that ministry but to Himself (John 12:32). This means that men come to the Church because they see Christ.
A Church built by Christ is bigger than a single individual. It does not exist solely on the shoulders of the set man or woman of God of the house.
In a Church built by Jesus, the supply of the Spirit of Christ is evident in every individual because He equips them to fulfil their part according to His perfect will (Philippians 1:19). Each joint supplies and there are no schisms (Ephesians 4:16).
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: John 12:32; Ephesians 4:16
GOLDEN NUGGET: When Christ builds, He does not draw men to the man or woman of God who leads that ministry but to Himself (John 12:32). This means that men come to the Church because they see Christ.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. You are the focus and foundation of everything I believe. Christ is the centre of my vision and I behold no other. I acknowledge Him in all my ways and yield to Him as He builds through me, to the glory of His name and expansion of His Kingdom, Amen.

Ekisuubizo kya Yesu ku kkanisa Ye kyali nti agenda kugizimba ye Kennyini.
Okutuuma ekkanisa erinnya lya ‘Obuweereza-bw’ekitundu ekimu-n’oyongerezaako-Yesu’ tekitegeeza nti Kristo y’agizimba.

Ng’omuweereza w’enjiri, olina okwebuuza ekibuuzo ekikulu, “Nze azimba ekkanisa yange oba Ye y’azimba ekkanisa Ye ng’ayita mu nze?”
Ekibuuzo kino era kikulu nnyo n’eri omukuŋŋaanyi. Oli mu buweereza obuzimbiddwa-Kristo oba mu buweereza obuzimbiddwa-omuntu?
Kristo bw’azimba, tayita bantu eri omusajja oba omukazi wa Katonda akulembera obuweereza obwo wabula eri Ye Kennyini (Yokaana 12:32). Kino kitegeeza nti abantu bajja mu Kkanisa kubanga balaba Kristo.
Ekkanisa ezimbiddwa Kristo nnene okusinga omuntu ssekinoomu. Teriiwo kubanga ewaniriddwa bibegaabega eby’omusajja oba omukazi wa Katonda eyayawulibwa okukulembera ennyumba byokka.

KANISA LILILOJENGWA NA KRISTO
Mtume Grace Lubega
Mathayo 16:18 (KJV): Nami nakuambia, Wewe ndiwe Petro, na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu; wala milango ya kuzimu haitalishinda.
—
Ahadi ya Yesu kuhusu kanisa lake ilikuwa ya kwamba atalijenga mwenyewe.
Kuita kanisa jina linaloendana na Yesu ‘Huduma ya Yesu….’ haimaanishi kwamba Kristo anajenga kanisa hilo.
Kuwekwa wakfu kwa huduma sio kwa jina lake.
Kuna makanisa mengi yaliyoitwa jina la Bwana Yesu ambayo yamepoteza kila kitu anachowakilisha.
Kama mhudumu wa Injili, unapaswa kujiuliza swali muhimu, “Je! Ninajenga kanisa langu au Yeye anajenga kanisa Lake kupitia mimi?”
Swali hili ni muhimu pia kwa mwamini kwenye kusanyiko. Je! Uko katika huduma iliyojengwa na Kristo au mtu?
Kristo anapojenga, Hawavuti watu kwa mwanaume au mwanamke wa Mungu wanaoongoza hiyo huduma lakini Kwake mwenyewe (Yohana 12:32). Hii inamaanisha kwamba watu huja kanisani kwa sababu wanamwona Kristo.
Kanisa lililojengwa na Kristo ni kubwa kuliko mtu mmoja. Halipo tu katika mabega ya mwanaume au mwanamke wa Mungu wa nyumba hiyo.
Katika Kanisa lililojengwa na Yesu, ugavi wa Roho wa Kristo unaonekana kwa kila mtu kwa sababu anawawezesha kutimiza sehemu yao kulingana na mapenzi yake kamili (Wafilipi 1:19). Kila kiungo kinachangia na hakuna mgawanyiko (Waefeso 4:16).
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yohana 12:32; Waefeso 4:16
UJUMBE MKUU: Wakati Kristo anajenga, watu hawavutiwi na mtu wa Mungu anayeongoza huduma hiyo lakini wanavutiwa na Yeye mwenyewe (Yohana 12:32). Hii inamaanisha kwamba watu huja kanisani kwa sababu wanamwona Kristo.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Wewe ni lengo na msingi wa kila kitu ninachoamini. Kristo ni kiini cha maono yangu na mimi sioni mwingine. Ninamkiri Yeye katika njia zangu zote na kujitoa Kwake hata Yeye anapojenga kupitia kwangu, kwa utukufu wa jina Lake na upanuzi wa Ufalme Wake, Amina.
L’ÉGLISE CONSTRUITE PAR LE CHRIST
L’Apôtre Grace Lubega
Matthieu 16:18 (LSG); Et moi, je te dis que tu es Pierre, et que sur cette pierre je bâtirai mon Église, et que les portes du séjour des morts ne prévaudront point contre elle.

La promesse de Jésus concernant son Église était qu’il la construirait lui-même.
Nommer une église « Jésus-Quelque chose-Ministères » ne signifie pas que Christ la construit.
La consécration du ministère n’est pas dans son nom.
Il existe de nombreuses églises portant le nom du Seigneur Jésus qui ont rejeté tout ce qu’il représente.
En tant que ministre de l’Évangile, vous devez vous poser la question cruciale : « Est-ce que je construis mon église ou est-ce qu’il construit son église à travers moi ? »
Cette question est également cruciale pour le fidèle. Êtes-vous dans un ministère construit par Christ ou par l’homme ?
Lorsque Christ construit, il n’attire pas les hommes vers l’homme ou la femme de Dieu qui dirige ce ministère, mais vers lui-même (Jean 12 : 32). Cela signifie que les hommes viennent à l’Église parce qu’ils voient Christ.
Une Église construite par Christ est plus grande qu’un seul individu. Il n’existe pas uniquement sur les épaules de l’homme ou de la femme de Dieu de la maison.
Dans une Église construite par Jésus, l’apport de l’Esprit du Christ est évident chez chaque individu parce qu’il l’équipe pour accomplir sa part selon sa volonté parfaite (Philippiens 1 : 19). Chacun fournit conjointement et il n’y a pas de schismes (Éphésiens 4 :16).
Alléluia!
ÉTUDE PLUS APPROFONDIE: Jean 12 : 32 ; Éphésiens 4:16
PASSAGE EN OR: Lorsque le Christ construit, il n’attire pas les hommes vers l’homme ou la femme de Dieu qui dirige ce ministère, mais vers lui-même (Jean 12 : 32). Cela signifie que les hommes viennent à l’Église parce qu’ils voient le Christ.
PRIÈRE: Père aimant, je te remercie pour cette vérité. Vous êtes le centre et le fondement de tout ce en quoi je crois. Le Christ est le centre de ma vision et je n’en vois pas d’autre. Je le reconnais dans toutes mes voies et je m’abandonne à lui alors qu’il construit à travers moi, à la gloire de son nom et à l’expansion de son royaume, Amen.
