Apostle Grace Lubega

Ephesians 1:17 (KJV); That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The Greek word used for knowledge in our theme scripture is ‘epignosis’. This is the complete and perfect knowledge of God, as distinguished from ‘gnosko’, which is progressive knowledge.

Epignosis does not come by one reading the Bible several times from cover to cover. There are people who have done this and have combed every precept yet many truths are still hidden from their eyes. They do not know God, but only know about Him.

Epignosis is an experience. It is one in which God impresses the revelation of Christ upon your spirit.

What I mean is that Christ is not revealed to us merely through much study with our minds, He is revealed when the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to the spiritual realities of Christ.

Epignosis is very important because no miracle can sustain a man in faith, like the miracle of epignosis.

Men may see blind men see and still doubt; they may watch the lame walk and still have questions; they may see the dead raised to life and still have reservations but when Christ is revealed to a man, he will stay his course, fight the good fight and run his race.

Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 3:9, 1 John 1:1

GOLDEN NUGGET: No miracle can sustain a man in faith, like the miracle of epignosis. Men may see blind men see and still doubt; they may watch the lame walk and still have questions; they may see the dead raised to life and still have reservations but when Christ is revealed to a man, he will stay his course, fight the good fight and run his race.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for the opportunity to know You and increase in the knowledge of who You are. The eyes of my understanding are continually flooded with light even as I behold You in Your perfection, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

EKYAMAGERO EKY’OKUMANYA OKUJJUDDE ERA OKUTUUKIRIDDE

Omutume Grace Lubega

Abaefeso 1:17 (KJV); Katonda wa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, Kitaffe ow’ekitiibwa, abawe omwoyo ogw’amagezi n’ogw’okubikkulirwa mu kumutegeera (kumanya) ye;

(Weetegereze; ebiri mu bukomera mu kyawandiikibwa ekigguddewo bigattidwamu muwandiisi)

Ekigambo eky’oluyonaani ekikozesebwa okutegeeza okumanya mu kyawandiikibwa kyaffe ekigguddewo kiri ‘epignosis’. Kuno kwe kumanya Katonda okujjudde era okutuukiridde, nga bwe kwawulibwa ku ‘gnosko’, ekitegeeza okumanya okweyongera.

Okumanya okujjudde era okutuukiridde tekujja ng’omuntu asomye Baibuli ddiba ku ddiba. Waliwo abantu abakoze kino era nga bakoze buli kiragiro so ng’amazima ga mirundi mingi gakyakwekeddwa okuva eri amaaso gabwe. Tebamanyi Katonda, naye nga bamanyi ebimukwatako.

Okumanya okujjudde era okutuukiridde nsisinkano. Yeeyo Katonda mw’ateeka okubikkulirwa kwa Kristo mu mwoyo gwo.

Kye ntegeeza kiri nti Kristo tatubikkulirwa kuyita buyisi mu kusoma ennyo n’endowooza zaffe, atubikkulirwa omwoyo omutukuvu bw’abikkula amaaso gaffe eri ebyannamaddala eby’omwoyo ebya Kristo.

Okumanya okujjudde era okutuukiridde kukulu nnyo kubanga teri kyamagero kisobola kubeezawo muntu mu kukkiriza, ng’ekyamagero eky’okumanya okujjudde era okutuukiridde.

Abantu bayinza okulaba abazibe nga balaba era ne babuusabuusa; bayinza okulaba abalema nga batambula era ne babeera n’ebibuuzo; bayinza okulaba abafu nga bazuukira ne basigala nga balina byebeerekeddeyo naye Kristo bw’abikkulibwa eri omuntu, ajja kusigala ku mugendo, alwane okulwana okulungi era adduke olugendo lwe.

Alleluya!

YONGERA OSOME: Abaefeeso 3:9, 1 Yokaana 1:1

AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Teri kyamagero kisobola kubeezawo muntu mu kukkiriza, ng’ekyamagero eky’okumanya okujjudde era okutuukiridde. Abantu bayinza okulaba abazibe nga balaba era ne babuusabuusa; bayinza okulaba abalema nga batambula era ne babeera n’ebibuuzo; bayinza okulaba abafu nga bazuukira ne basigala nga balina byebeerekeddeyo naye Kristo bw’abikkulibwa eri omuntu, ajja kusigala ku mugendo, alwane okulwana okulungi era adduke olugendo lwe.

ESSAALA: Kitaffe omwagalwa,Nkwebaza ku lw’amazima gano. Nkwebaza ku lw’omukisa okukumanya era n’okweyongera mu kumanya kki ky’Oli. Amaaso g’okutegeera kwange bulijjo gajjuzibwa ekitangaala era nga bwenkulaba mu kutuukirira Kwo, mu linnya lya Yesu, Amiina.

Entumwa Grace Lubega

Abaefeso 1:17; nimbashabira ngu: Ruhanga wa Mukama waitu Yesu Kristo, Tataitwe ow’ekitiinisa, abahe omwoyo gw’obwengye n’okushuuruurirwa, mumumanye;

Ekigambo ky’oruguriika ky’okumanya omu mutwe gw’ebyahandiikirwe byaitu ni ‘epignosis’. Oku nikwo okumanya Ruhanga okwijwiire kandi okuhikiire kimwe, nikutaana na ‘gnosko’, erikumanywa nk’okumanya okurikuguma nikweyongyera.

Epignosis terikwiija ahabw’omuntu kuguma nashoma Baiburi emirundi myingi kuruga aha rupapura rw’okubanza kuta aha rwahamuheru. Hariho abantu abakozire eki kandi bakakwaata gye buri kiragiro kandi obwo amazima maingi gakisherekirwe amaisho gaabo. Tibarikumanya Ruhanga, kureka nibamumanyaho.

Epignosis n’ekirikubaho. Nikyo ahu Ruhanga arikuta okushuuruurirwa kwa Kristo aha mwoyo waawe.

Ekindikumanyisa ningu Kristo tarikutushuuruurirwa omu kweega munonga n’ebiteekateeko byaitu, nashuuruurirwa Omwoyo Orikweera yigura amaisho gaitu aha mazima ga Kristo g’omwoyo.

Epignosis ninkuru munonga ahabw’okuba tihariho ky’okutangaaza ekirikubaasa kukuuma omuntu omu kwikiriza, nk’eky’okutangaaza kya epignosis.

Abantu nibabaasa kureeba empumi nizireeba babanganise; nibabaasa kureeba ebimuga birikugyenda kandi bagire ebibuuzo; nibabaasa kureeba abafu nibahimbuuka kandi bagire ebibuuzo kwonka Kristo ku arikushuuruurirwa omuntu, naguma omu orugyendo rwe, arwaane okurwaana okurungi kandi airukye okwiruka kwe.

Hallelujah!

MUUJIZA WA EPIGNOSIS

Mtume Grace Lubega

Waefeso 1:17 (KJV); Mungu wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, Baba wa utukufu, awape ninyi roho ya hekima na ya ufunuo katika kumjua yeye;

Neno la Kiyunani linalotumika kumaanisha maarifa katika andiko letu la mada ni ‘epignosis’. Huu ni ufahamu kamili wa Mungu, kama unavyotofautishwa na ‘gnosko’, ambayo ni maarifa ya kimaendeleo.

Epignosis haiji kwa mtu kusoma Biblia mara kadhaa kutoka jalada hadi jalada. Kuna watu ambao wamefanya hivi na wamechanganya kila agizo lakini kweli nyingi bado imefichwa machoni pao. Hawamjui Mungu, lakini wanajua tu kumhusu.

Epignosis ni tajriba. Ni ile ambayo Mungu anasisitiza ufunuo wa Kristo juu ya roho yako.

Ninachomaanisha ni kwamba Kristo hajafunuliwa kwetu kwa kusoma sana kwa akili zetu, anafunuliwa wakati Roho Mtakatifu anafungua macho yetu kwa kweli ya kiroho ya Kristo.

Epignosis ni muhimu sana kwa sababu hakuna muujiza unaoweza kumdumisha mtu katika imani, kama muujiza wa epignosis.

Watu wanaweza kuona vipofu wakiona na bado wawe na shaka; wanaweza kutazama viwete wakitembea na bado wawe na maswali; wanaweza kuwaona wafu wakifufuliwa na bado wawe na mashaka lakini Kristo atakapofunuliwa kwa mtu, atashika mwendo wake, atapigana vita vilivyo vizuri na kukimbia mbio zake.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waefeso 3:9, 1 Yohana 1:1

UJUMBE MKUU: Hakuna muujiza unaoweza kumdumisha mtu katika imani, kama muujiza wa epignosis. Watu wanaweza kuona vipofu wakiona na bado wawe na shaka; wanaweza kutazama viwete wakitembea na bado wawe na maswali; wanaweza kuwaona wafu wakifufuliwa na bado wawe na mashaka lakini Kristo atakapofunuliwa kwa mtu, atashika mwendo wake, atapigana vita vilivyo vizuri na kukimbia mbio zake.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Asante kwa nafasi ya kukujua na kuongeza maarifa ya kutambulishwa kwako. Macho ya ufahamu wangu daima yanafurika na nuru hata ninapokuona katika ukamilifu wako, katika jina la Yesu Kristo, Amina.
