The Phaneroo Devotion: The Fullness Of His Presence - 1
Apostle Grace Lubega
Ephesians 3:19 (AMPC); [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
The presence of God has degrees. Even though He is everywhere, the intensity of His presence differs from place to place.
The force of His presence in a bar varies from that in a Holy Spirit-filled church.
Sadly, many Christians have settled for lesser degrees of His presence as the ultimate experience they can have in God.
They can only function in the generic degree of His presence that David speaks of in Psalm 139. He says, “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”
As a believer under the New Testament dispensation, you were called to function at a higher degree of His presence because its intensity defines the level of manifestation of God’s life through you.
The degree of His presence that God expects you to enjoy is revealed in our theme scripture. It is called the richest measure of the divine presence. This degree makes you a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself. This was the experience of Christ on earth. The Bible says that the fullness of God dwelt in Him bodily. In Acts 10:38, the Bible also says that He did good everywhere He went because God was with Him.
When you have this degree of His presence people will be able to feel God wherever you go. It is your portion.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 139:7-10, Acts 10:38
GOLDEN NUGGET: The degree of His presence that God expects you to enjoy is the richest measure of the divine presence. This degree makes you a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself.
PRAYER: My Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You because in You I live, move and have my being. I spread the savour of Your knowledge everywhere I go because I carry the richest measure of the divine presence, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
OBUJJUVU BW’OKUBEERAWO KWE – 1
Omutume Grace Lubega
Abaefeeso 3:19 (AMPC); [Olwo musobolere ddala okujja] eri okumanya [mu kukola, okuyita mu nsisinkano mwe mwennyini] okwagala kwa Kristo, okusukkulumidde ddala kumagezi obugezi [awatali nsisinkano]; olwo mulyoke mujjuzibwe [okuyita mu mwe mwenna] okutuusa okutuukirira kwonna okwa Katonda [okusobozesa okubeera mu kubeerawo kw’obwaKatonda okusingayo, era n’ofuuka omubiri ogutuukiridde era ogubuutikiddwa ne Katonda mwene]!
Okubeerawo kwa Katonda kulina amadaala. Newankubadde ali buli wamu, obuzito bw’okubeerawo Kwe bwawukana okuva mu kifo okudda mu kirala.
Amaanyi g’okubeerawo Kwe mu bbaala gaawukana okuva kw’ago mu kkanisa ejjuziddwa Omwoyo Omutukuvu.
Eky’ennaku, Abakristaayo bangi bamativu n’amadaala aga wansi ag’okubeerawo Kwe ng’ensisinkano gye bayitamu esingayo gye basobola okufuna mu Katonda.
Basobola kukolera mu ddaala erya bonna ery’okubeerawo Kwe Dawudi ly’ayogerako mu Zabbuli 139. Agamba, “Naagenda wa okuva eri omwoyo gwo? Oba naddukira wa amaaso go? Bwe nnaalinnya mu ggulu, nga gy’oli: Bwe nnaayala obuliri bwange mu magombe, laba, nga gy’oli. Bwe nnaatoola ebiwaawaatiro eby’enkya, ne ntuula mu bifo eby’ennyanja ebiri ewala ennyo; Newakubadde eyo omukono gwo gunannuŋŋamya, N’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gunankwata”.
Ng’omukkiriza wansi w’omulembe gw’Endagaano Empya, wayitibwa okukolera mu ddaala erisingako ery’okubeerawo Kwe kubanga obuzito bw’alyo bwe busalawo omutendera gw’okwolesa kw’obulamu bwa Katonda okuyita mu ggwe.
Eddaala ery’okubeerawo Kwe Katonda ly’akusuubira okweyagaliramu libikkuddwa mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo. Liyitibwa eddaala erisingayo ery’okubeerawo kw’obwakatonda. Lino eddaala lireetera omubiri gwo okuba nga gujjuziddwa era nga gubuutikibwa Katonda Mwene. Eno y’ensisinkano Kristo gye yayitamu ku nsi. Baibuli egamba nti obujjuvu bwa Katonda bwamujjuzibwa mu mubiri. Mu Ebikolwa 10:38, Baibuli egamba era nti yakolanga obulungi buli weyalaganga kubanga Katonda yali naye.
Bw’oba olina eddaala lino ery’okubeerawo Kwe abantu bajja kusobola okuwulira Katonda buli w’onalaganga. Guno mugabo gwo.
Allelluyah!

UKAMILIFU WA UWEPO WAKE – 1
Mtume Grace Lubega
Waefeso 3:19 (AMPC); [Ili mpate kweli] kujua [kwa vitendo, kupitia uzoefu kwa ajili yenu wenyewe] upendo wa Kristo, ambao unazidi maarifa tu [bila uzoefu]; ili mjazwe [kupitia uhai wenu wote] kwa utimilifu wote wa Mungu [upate kipimo tajiri zaidi cha Uwepo wa Mungu, na uwe mwili uliojaa kabisa na kufurika na Mungu Mwenyewe]!
Uwepo wa Mungu una viwango. Ingawa Yeye yuko kila mahali, kiwango cha uwepo Wake kinatofautiana kutoka mahali hadi mahali.
Nguvu ya uwepo wake katika kiwango hutofautiana na ile katika kanisa lililojaa Roho Mtakatifu.
Cha kusikitisha, Wakristo wengi wamekubali viwango vidogo vya uwepo Wake kama uzoefu wa mwisho ambao wanaweza kuwa nao katika Mungu.
Wanaweza tu kufanya kazi katika kiwango cha kawaida cha uwepo Wake ambacho Daudi anazungumzia katika Zaburi 139. Anasema, “Niende wapi nijiepushe na roho yako? Niende wapi niukimbie uso wako? Kama ningepanda mbinguni, Wewe uko; Ningefanya kuzimu kitanda changu, Wewe uko. Ningezitwaa mbawa za asubuhi, Na kukaa pande za mwisho za bahari; Huko nako mkono wako utaniongoza, Na mkono wako wa kuume utanishika.”
Kama muumini katika kipindi cha Agano Jipya, uliitwa kufanya kazi kwa kiwango cha juu cha uwepo Wake kwa sababu kipimo chake kinafafanua kiwango cha udhihirisho wa maisha ya Mungu kupitia kwako.
Kiwango cha uwepo wake ambacho Mungu anatarajia ufurahie kimefunuliwa katika andiko letu kuu. Kinaitwa kipimo tajiri zaidi cha uwepo wa Mungu. Kiwango hiki kinakufanya mwili uliojaa kabisa na kufurika na Mungu Mwenyewe. Huu ulikuwa uzoefu wa Kristo duniani. Biblia inasema kwamba ukamilifu wa Mungu ulidumu ndani yake kimwili. Katika Matendo 10:38, Biblia pia inasema kwamba alifanya mema kila mahali alipokwenda kwa sababu Mungu alikuwa pamoja naye.
Unapokuwa na kiwango hiki cha uwepo Wake watu wataweza kumhisi Mungu popote uendapo. Ni sehemu yako.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Zaburi 139: 7-10, Matendo 10:38
UJUMBE MKUU: Kiwango cha uwepo wake ambacho Mungu anatarajia ufurahie ni kipimo tajiri zaidi cha uwepo wa Mungu. Kiwango hiki kinakufanya uwe mwili uliojaa kabisa na kufurika na Mungu Mwenyewe.
SALA: Baba yangu, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Nakushukuru kwa sababu ndani Yako ninaishi, ninakwenda na kuwa na uhai wangu. Ninaeneza harufu ya ufahamu Wako kila mahali ninapokwenda kwa sababu ninabeba kipimo tajiri zaidi cha uwepo wa Mungu, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
