The Phaneroo Devotion: The Game Of Life - 3: The Enabler-Minister
Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Corinthians 13:3 (KJV); And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Enabling, as a behavioral shortcoming, is a vice. It is unfortunate that it is quite prevalent in the body of Christ today.
When a minister of God makes his congregation utterly dependent on him as the stairway and access door to the throne room, that is not the love for the brethren as required by scriptures but it is enabling.
If a minister glories in the fact that people call him at 3.00 am in the morning to fend off demonic attacks or they cannot pray for their loved ones until the pastor returns from his trip abroad, that is an enabler-minister.
Constant deliverance services that never empower people to stand by the power of the Word against the devil could easily be an exercise in enabling in all its destructive capacities.
If the Church of Christ still places conviction only in the ‘prophetic word’ of a man or woman of God minus the inward witness of the Spirit of God in them, then as ministers of God, we are enabling, not growing men in the faith.
As a minister, God has called you to EQUIP the saints. He has not called you to build a personality cult of people who are continuously dependent on your relationship with God.
We must teach men to know God for themselves, to understand the scriptures, to personalise their faith, to give God their attention, to fortify their spirits and to stand firm in the times of their adversity.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: As a minister, God has called you to EQUIP the saints. We must teach men to know God for themselves, to understand the scriptures, to personalise their faith, to give God their attention, to fortify their spirits and to stand firm in the times of their adversity.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this knowledge. As a minister, You have taught me the wisdom that equips men and continually points them to You. You are the source, the strength and the foundation on which we base our lives. Our eyes are set on You in all things and through all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

1 Abakkolinso 13:3 (KJV); Era bwe ngabira abaavu bye nnina byonna okubaliisanga, era bwe mpaayo omubiri gwange okwokebwa, naye ne ssiba na kwagala, nga ssiriiko kye ngasizza.
Okusobozesa, ng’obunafu obw’enneeyisa, muze mubi. Kya nnaku nti kino kirabika nnyo mu mubiri gwa Kristo leero.

Ng’omuweereza, Katonda akuyise “OKUTEEKATEEKA” abatuukirivu. Takuyise kuzimba bantu bakusinza, abeesigamye entakera ku nkolagana yo ne Katonda.
Tulina okusomesa abantu okumanya Katonda bo nga bo, okutegeera ebyawandiikibwa, okufuula okukkiriza kwabwe okwa ssekinnoomu, okussaayo omwoyo eri Katonda, okukuuma emyoyo gyabwe era n’okuyimirira nga baggumidde mu biseera by’okunyigirizibwa.
Alelluya!
YONGERA OSOME: Abaefeeso 4:12-16, Yokaana 14:26.
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Ng’omuweereza, Katonda akuyise “OKUTEEKATEEKA” abatuukirivu. Tulina okusomesa abantu okumanya Katonda bo nga bo, okutegeera ebyawandiikibwa, okufuula okukkiriza kwabwe okwa ssekinnoomu, okussaayo omwoyo eri Katonda, okukuuma emyoyo gyabwe era n’okuyimirira nga baggumidde mu biseera by’obulumbaganyi.

OMUZAANO OGW’OBWOMEZI – 3: OMUHEREZA OMUSOBOZESA

Okusobozesa, nk’engeso ezisiisikaire, kali kamogo. Gali mainaro ngu kirarangire omubiri gwa Kristo kyar’ero.

MCHEZO WA MAISHA – 3: MTUMISHI-MWEZESHAJI
Mtume Grace Lubega
1 Wakorintho 13:3 (KJV); Tena nikitoa mali zangu zote kuwalisha maskini, tena nikijitoa mwili wangu niungue moto, kama sina upendo, hainifaidii kitu. Na hata nikitoa mali yangu yote kulisha masikini, na nikitoa mwili wangu uchomwe, na sina upendo, hainifaidii chochote.
Uwezeshaji, kama tabia pungufu, ni tabia mbaya. Ni bahati mbaya kwamba imeenea kabisa katika mwili wa Kristo leo.
Mhudumu wa Mungu anapofanya kusanyiko lake kumtegemea kama ngazi na mlango wa kuingia kwenye chumba cha enzi, huo sio upendo kwa ndugu kama inavyotakiwa katika maandiko; bali ni uwezeshaji.
Ikiwa mtumishi anajivunia ukweli kwamba watu wanampigia simu saa tisa asubuhi ili kutoa mapepo yaliyowashambulia au hawawezi kuwaombea wapendwa wao hadi mchungaji atakaporudi kutoka safarini pake nje ya nchi, huyo ni mtumishi-mwezeshaji.
Huduma za ukombozi za kila mara ambazo haziwatii watu nguvu kusimama kwa nguvu ya Neno dhidi ya shetani zinaweza kuwa mazoezi ya kuwezesha kwa uwezo wake wote wa uharibifu.
Ikiwa Kanisa la Kristo bado linaweka kusadikika tu katika ‘neno la unabii’ la mwanamume au mwanamke wa Mungu bila ushuhuda wa ndani wa Roho wa Mungu ndani yao, basi kama wahudumu wa Mungu, tunawawezesha, si kuwakuza watu katika imani.
Kama mhudumu, Mungu amekuita UWAKAMILISHE watakatifu. Hajakuita kujenga ibada ya utu wa watu wanaotegemea uhusiano wako na Mungu.
Lazima tuwafundishe watu kumjua Mungu wenyewe, kuelewa maandiko, kubinafsisha imani yao, kumpa Mungu usikivu wao, kuimarisha roho zao na kusimama kwa nguvu wakati wa shida zao.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waefeso 4:12-16, Yohana 14:26
UJUMBE MKUU: Kama mhudumu, Mungu amekuita UWAKAMILISHE watakatifu. Lazima tuwafundishe watu kumjua Mungu wenyewe, kuelewa maandiko, kubinafsisha imani yao, kumpa Mungu usikivu wao, kuimarisha roho zao na kusimama kwa nguvu wakati wa shida zao.
SALA: Baba mpenzi, Ninakushukuru kwa maarifa haya. Kama mhudumu, Umenifundisha hekima inayowaandaa watu na inawaelekeza kwako kila wakati. Wewe ndiye chanzo, nguvu na msingi ambao tunaegemeza maisha yetu. Macho yetu yamekazwa kwako katika vitu vyote na kupitia vitu vyote. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
