The Phaneroo Devotion: We Are Not Simple
Apostle Grace Lubega
Proverbs 1:1-4 (KJV); The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
A simple mind is a playground for the devil. Simplicity in this context is naiveté. Some Christians are so terribly gullible. They believe everything they read and hear.
Unfortunately, and increasingly, the world is inclining to manipulate the masses because many people are very simple. Disciplines such as behavioural economics have been designed for the simple. News outlets who are often creative with the truth target the simple.
But simplicity is not supposed to be a trait in a new creature. That is why our theme scripture reveals that the proverbs are given to give subtility to the simple.
God expects you to be more discerning. Apply your mind to deep and contemplative thinking every time someone presents you with a version of events. It is the height of immaturity to receive as truth everything that appears in print or media.
In fact, these days, some of us listen to the news simply to hear what they are not telling us. We have learnt to dig past the superficialities that the world presents to us.
The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth (John 16:13). It means that He elevates us above simplicity so that we never interpret life and world events from the surface.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: John 16:13, Proverbs 8:5
GOLDEN NUGGET: God expects you to be more discerning. Apply your mind to deep and contemplative thinking every time someone presents you with a version of events. It is the height of immaturity to receive as truth everything that appears in print or media.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for Your Word in me that separates, cuts asunder, divides spirit and soul so that at all times, life and its events are plain to me. I cannot be deceived because my perception is never from the surface but from the depths of things. I see the core, not just the exterior because I am not simple in spirit, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

SISI SI WAJINGA
Mtume Grace Lubega
Mithali 1:1-4 (KJV); Mithali za Sulemani, mwana wa Daudi, mfalme wa Israeli. Kujua hekima na adabu; kutambua maneno ya ufahamu; kufundishwa matendo ya busara, katika haki na hukumu na adili. Kuwapa wajinga werevu, na kijana maarifa na hadhari;
Fikra za ujinga ni uwanja wa michezo wa shetani. Ujinga katika muktadha huu ni kukosa hekima. Wakristo wengine hushawishika kwa urahisi mno. Wanaamini kila wanachosoma na kusikia.
Kwa bahati mbaya, na inazidi, ulimwengu una mwelekeo wa kudhibiti watu kwa sababu watu wengi wana ujinga. Taaluma kama vile mitazamo ya kiuchumi imeundwa kwa ajili ya wajinga. Vyombo vya habari ambavyo mara nyingi huwa wabunifu kwenye ukweli hulenga wajinga.
Lakini ujinga haupaswi kuwa sifa katika kiumbe kipya. Ndio maana andiko letu kuu linafunua kwamba methali zimetolewa ili kuwapa wajinga werevu.
Mungu anatarajia uwe unatambua zaidi. Elekeza fikra zako kwa kutafakari kwa kina kila wakati mtu anapowasilisha aina fulani ya matukio. Ni hali ya juu ya kutokomaa kupokea kama ukweli kila kitu kinachoonekana katika magazeti au vyombo vya habari.
Kwa kweli, siku hizi, baadhi yetu husikiliza habari ili tu kusikia kile ambacho hawatuambii. Tumejifunza kuchambua mambo ya juu juu ambayo ulimwengu hutupatia.
Roho Mtakatifu atawaongoza na awatie kwenye kweli yote (Yohana 16:13). Inamaanisha kwamba Yeye hutuinua juu ya ujinga ili tusiwahi kutafsiri maisha na matukio ya ulimwengu juu juu.
Haleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Yohana 16:13, Mithali 8:5
UJUMBE MKUU: Mungu anatarajia uwe unatambua zaidi. Elekeza fikra zako kwa kutafakari kwa kina kila wakati mtu anapowasilisha aina fulani ya matukio. Ni hali ya juu ya kutokomaa kupokea kama ukweli kila kitu kinachoonekana katika magazeti au vyombo vya habari.
SALA: Baba, Nakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Asante kwa Neno Lako ndani yangu ambalo hutenganisha, hukata katika vipande, kuzigawanya nafsi na roho ili kila wakati, maisha na matukio yake yawe wazi kwangu. Siwezi kudanganywa kwa sababu mtazamo wangu kamwe si wa juu juu bali hutoka katika kina cha mambo. Ninaona kiini, si nje tu kwa sababu mimi si mjinga kiroho, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
NOUS NE SOMMES PAS SIMPLES
L’Apôtre Grace Lubega
Proverbes 1:1-4 (NBS); Maximes de Salomon, fils de David, roi d’Israël, pour connaître la sagesse et l’instruction, pour comprendre les paroles de l’intelligence, pour recevoir l’instruction du bon sens, – justice, équité et droiture – pour donner aux naïfs un esprit avisé, au jeune homme de la connaissance et de la réflexion.
Un esprit simple est un terrain de jeu pour le diable. La simplicité dans ce contexte est naïveté. Certains chrétiens sont si terriblement crédules. Ils croient tout ce qu’ils lisent et entendent.
Malheureusement, et de plus en plus, le monde a tendance à manipuler les masses car beaucoup de gens sont très simples. Des disciplines telles que l’économie comportementale ont été conçues pour les simples. Les médias qui sont souvent créatifs avec la vérité ciblent les simples.
Mais la simplicité n’est pas censée être un trait chez une nouvelle créature. C’est pourquoi notre écriture thématique révèle que les proverbes sont donnés pour donner de la subtilité aux simples.
Dieu s’attend à ce que vous soyez plus perspicace. Appliquez votre esprit à une réflexion profonde et contemplative chaque fois que quelqu’un vous présente une version des événements. C’est le comble de l’immaturité que de recevoir comme vérité tout ce qui apparaît dans la presse ou les médias.
En fait, de nos jours, certains d’entre nous écoutent les nouvelles simplement pour entendre ce qu’ils ne nous disent pas. Nous avons appris à creuser au-delà des superficialités que le monde nous présente.
Le Saint-Esprit nous conduit dans toute la vérité (Jean 16:13). Cela signifie qu’il nous élève au-dessus de la simplicité afin que nous n’interprétions jamais la vie et les événements du monde à partir de la surface.
Alléluia!
APPROFONDISSEMENT: Jean 16:13, Proverbes 8:5
PÉPITE D’OR: Dieu s’attend à ce que vous soyez plus perspicace. Appliquez votre esprit à une réflexion profonde et contemplative chaque fois que quelqu’un vous présente une version des événements. C’est le comble de l’immaturité que de recevoir comme vérité tout ce qui apparaît dans la presse ou les médias.
PRIÈRE: Père, Je te remercie pour cette vérité. Merci pour Ta Parole en moi qui sépare, coupe en deux, divise l’esprit et l’âme afin qu’à tout moment, la vie et ses événements soient clairs pour moi. Je ne peux pas être trompé car ma perception ne vient jamais de la surface mais du fond des choses. Je vois le noyau, pas seulement l’extérieur parce que je ne suis pas simple d’esprit, au nom de Jésus, Amen.
