The Phaneroo Devotion: To Have The Mind Of Christ
Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Corinthians 2:16 (KJV); For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
As believers under the New Testament dispensation, the Bible tells us that we have the mind of Christ.
When some people read this scripture, they interpret it only in the sense that we think in the same manner that He thinks. The only dimension from which they understand this truth is in imitations. For example, if Christ is compassionate towards the sick, we are also predisposed to think that way.
But today, allow me to show you a deeper aspect of this scripture.
When the Bible says that we have the mind of Christ it means that when He thinks, so do we, in real-time.
It takes a high level of spiritual consciousness and yieldedness to God to fully experience this reality. But nothing can detract from its truth. The moment a thought crosses the mind of Christ, that same thought zaps through your mind because you are one with Him.
The effect of this reality is that your thought of reviving a nation is not your own but must be understood as the thought of Christ thinking in you. Your thought to reach out to the lost and dying is not a result of your compassion for the unsaved but the compassion of Christ in you.
If indeed, as a man thinketh, so is he (Proverbs 23:7), it means that the more your imagination is sanctified to understand this truth, the more you become like Christ.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: When the Bible says that we have the mind of Christ it means that when He thinks, so do we, in real-time. The effect of this reality is that your thought of reviving a nation is not your own but must be understood as the thought of Christ thinking in you. Your thought to reach out to the lost and dying is not a result of your compassion for the unsaved but the compassion of Christ in you.
PRAYER: My Lord, I thank You for this knowledge. I know that I am one with You and have Your mind. You think, plan for and change the world through me. I grow more conscious of this truth every day, to the glory of Your name, Amen.

1 Abakkolinso 2:16 (KJV); Kubanga ani eyali ategedde okulowooza kwa Mukama waffe, alyoke amuyigirize? Naye ffe tulina okulowooza kwa Kristo.
Ng’abakkiriza abali wansi w’Endagaano Empya, Baibuli etugamba nti tulina endowooza ya Kristo.
Abantu abamu bwe basoma ekyawandiikibwa kino, bakivvuunula mu ngeri nti tulowooza mu ngeri y’emu Kristo gy’alowooza kyokka. Ekitundu kyokka mwebategeerera amazima gano kiri mu kugoberera. Okugeza, Kristo bw’aba ng’alumirirwa abalwadde, tuteekeddwa okulowooza bwe tutyo.

Ekiva mu kyannamaddala kino kiri nti ekirowoozo kyo eky’okuzza obuggya eggwanga si kikyo nga ggwe naye kirina okutegeerwa ng’ekirowoozo kya Kristo alowooleza mu ggwe. Ekirowoozo kyo okutuuka eri abo ababuze n’abali mu kufa tekiva mu kusaasira kwo eri abatalokose naye okusaasira kwa Kristo mu ggwe.
Bwe kiba nga ddala, ng’omuntu bw’alowooza bw’atyo bw’ali (Engero 23:7), endowooza yo gy’ekoma okulongoosebwa okutegeera amazima gano, gye weeyongera okufuuka nga Kristo.
Alleluya!
YONGERA OSOME: Engero 23:7, Abaruumi 12:2
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Baibuli bw’egamba nti tulina endowooza ya Kristo etegeeza nti bw’alowooza, naffe tulowooza, essaawa eyo yennyini. Ekiva mu kyannamaddala kino kiri nti ekirowoozo kyo eky’okuzza obuggya eggwanga si kikyo nga ggwe naye kirina okutegeerwa ng’ekirowoozo kya Kristo alowooleza mu ggwe.

KUWA NA NIA YA KRISTO
Mtume Grace Lubega
1 Wakorintho 2:16 (KJV); Maana, Ni nani aliyeifahamu nia ya Bwana, amwelimishe? Lakini sisi tunayo nia ya Kristo.
Kama waumini chini ya kipindi cha Agano Jipya, Biblia inatuambia kwamba tuna nia ya Kristo.
Watu wengine wanaposoma andiko hili, wanalitafsiri kumaanisha kwamba tunafikiri kwa njia ile ile ambayo Anafikiri. Mwelekeo pekee ambao wanaelewa kweli hii ni katika kuiga. Kwa mfano, ikiwa Kristo ni mwenye huruma kwa wagonjwa, sisi pia tunatakiwa kufikiri kwa njia hiyo.
Lakini leo, niruhusu nikuonyeshe kipengele cha kina cha andiko hili.
Biblia inaposema kwamba tuna nia ya Kristo inamaanisha kwamba wakati Anafikiri, vivyo hivyo sisi, kwa wakati halisi.
Inachukua kiwango cha juu cha ufahamu wa kiroho ili kupata uzoefu kamili wa ukweli huu. Lakini hakuna kitu kinachoweza kuondoa ukweli wake. Wakati wazo linavuka akili ya Kristo, wazo hilo hilo linapita akilini mwako kwa sababu wewe ni mmoja naye.
Athari ya ukweli huu ni kwamba wazo lako la kufufua taifa sio lako mwenyewe lakini lazima lieleweke kama wazo la Kristo analofikiria ndani yako. Wazo lako la kuwafikia waliopotea na wanaokufa sio matokeo ya huruma yako kwa wasiookolewa bali huruma ya Kristo ndani yako.
Ikiwa kweli, kama mtu anavyofikiria, ndivyo alivyo (Mithali 23:7), basi mawazo yako yanapotakaswa zaidi kuelewa ukweli huu, ndivyo unavyokuwa zaidi kama Kristo.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Mithali 23:7, Warumi 12:2
UJUMBE MKUU: Biblia inaposema kwamba tuna nia ya Kristo inamaanisha kwamba wakati Anafikiri, vivyo hivyo sisi, kwa wakati halisi.

Wazo lako la kuwafikia waliopotea na wanaokufa sio matokeo ya huruma yako kwa wasiookolewa bali huruma ya Kristo ndani yako.
SALA: Bwana wangu, Nakushukuru kwa ufahamu huu. Ninajua kwamba mimi ni mmoja na wewe na nina nia Yako. Unafikiri, kupanga na kubadilisha ulimwengu kupitia mimi. Ninaufahamu zaidi ukweli huu kila siku, kwa utukufu wa jina lako, Amina.
