The Phaneroo Devotion: The Wisdom To Discern Trials - The Shorter Route
Apostle Grace Lubega
Exodus 13:17 (KJV); And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt.
There are trials in the life of a Christian which happen because of divine purpose. For example, Jesus’ forty days in the wilderness were divinely ordained before He could begin His earthly ministry.
There are also trials which a Christian will experience because he does not have the spiritual character to handle the ‘shorter route to the Promised Land’. This can be seen with the Israelites who spent forty years in the wilderness because had they used the shorter twelve-day route, they would have seen war and turned back to Egypt.
It is wisdom to be able to discern between trials by divine purpose for elevation in ministry and trials that arise because you are wanting in certain spiritual strengths.
The mistake some Christians make is to assume that a trial which arises because of lack of the spiritual character to handle the shortcut is in fact a trial that is after divine purpose like Jesus’ forty-day wilderness experience.
Such Christians have a tendency to treat their delays as “the will of God.” For example, if it is joblessness, this Christian will assume that the delay is because God is preparing them for a greater opportunity, yet in fact, it is because they have a very poor work ethic and are unfaithful in little things.
Discernment in these matters is important because it helps you know what you must do when you find yourself in a trial. It will enable you not to excuse your weaknesses but to learn with humility and diligence what you must do to shorten the experience.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: It is wisdom to be able to discern between trials by divine purpose for elevation in ministry and trials that arise because you are wanting in certain spiritual strengths.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I thank You for the spiritual maturity and understanding in me to know Your ways. I carry Your revelation and know that You do not need me to go through certain trials or that I do not need to go through them for a very long period of time. By this wisdom, I know what to do in every wilderness experience, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

HEKIMA YA KUTAMBUA MAJARIBU – NJIA FUPI
Mtume Grace Lubega
Kutoka 13:17 (KJV); Ilikuwa hapo Farao alipokwisha kuwaacha watu hao waende zao, Mungu hakuwaongoza kwa njia ya nchi ya Wafilisti, ijapokuwa ilikuwa ni ya karibu; maana Mungu alisema, Wasije wakaghairi watu hawa hapo watakapokutana na vita, na kurudi Misri.
Kuna majaribu katika maisha ya Mkristo ambayo hutokea kwa sababu ya kusudi la Mungu. Kwa mfano, siku arobaini za Yesu nyikani ziliamriwa kimungu kabla hajaanza huduma yake hapa duniani.
Pia kuna majaribu ambayo Mkristo atapata kwa sababu hana nguvu ya kiroho ya kutosha kuwawezesha kustahimili ‘njia fupi kuelekea Nchi ya Ahadi’. Hili linaweza kuonekana kwa Waisraeli waliokaa miaka arobaini jangwani kwa sababu kama wangetumia njia fupi ya siku kumi na mbili, wangeona vita na kurejea Misri.
Ni hekima kuweza kupambanua kati ya majaribu yanayokuja kwa sababu ya kusudi la Mungu kwa ajili ya kuinuliwa katika huduma na majaribu yanayotokea kwa sababu huna nguvu fulani za kiroho.
Kosa ambalo baadhi ya Wakristo hufanya ni kudhani kwamba jaribu linalotokea kwa sababu ya ukosefu wa nguvu fulani za kiroho zinazokuwezesha kustahimili njia ya mkato kwa kweli ni jaribu ambalo ni la kusudi la Mungu kama tajriba ya Yesu wa siku arobaini jangwani.
Wakristo hao wana mwelekeo wa kutazama kuchelewa kwao kama “mapenzi ya Mungu.” Kwa mfano, ikiwa ni ukosefu wa kazi, Mkristo huyu atafikiri kwamba kuchelewa ni kwa sababu Mungu anamtayarisha kwa ajili ya nafasi kubwa zaidi, lakini kwa kweli, ni kwa sababu ana maadili duni sana ya kazi na si mwaminifu katika mambo madogo.
Utambuzi katika mambo haya ni muhimu kwa sababu hukusaidia kujua unachopaswa kufanya unapojikuta kwenye jaribu. Utakuwezesha kutosamehe udhaifu wako bali kujifunza kwa unyenyekevu na bidii kile unachopaswa kufanya ili kufupisha hali mbaya.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Methali 14:8, Mathayo 4:1
UJUMBE MKUU: Ni hekima kuweza kupambanua kati ya majaribu yanayokuja kwa sababu ya kusudi la Mungu kwa ajili ya kuinuliwa katika huduma na majaribu yanayotokea kwa sababu huna nguvu fulani za kiroho.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Ninakushukuru kwa ukomavu wa kiroho na ufahamu ndani yangu wa kuzijua njia zako. Ninabeba ufunuo Wako na ninajua kwamba hunihitaji mimi kupitia majaribio fulani au kwamba sihitaji kuyapitia kwa muda mrefu sana. Kwa hekima hii, ninajua la kufanya katika kila tajriba ya nyika, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
