Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 18:10-14 (KJV); Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

The man who knows his true state is the man who will make the purest prayer of the heart.

If you do not know your true state, you will live by a form of deception that could eventually destroy you.

The Pharisee in our theme scripture did not know his position in God. He was deluded by his actions into thinking that they qualified him as the better man.

What the Pharisee did not know was that he was guilty of the gross sin of self-righteousness.

It is the humble heart, like that of the publican that God seeks.

It is humility to know your struggles in the flesh and take them to God that He may deal with you. 

This humility starts with the man that has learnt to examine himself and allowed God to search his heart.

Being under the grace dispensation does not mean that we gloss over sin and confess our perfections without allowing God to deal with any struggle one might have in the flesh.

FURTHER STUDY: Revelation 3:1-2, James 4:6

GOLDEN NUGGET: The man who knows his true state is the man who will make the purest prayer of the heart.

PRAYER:  Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I embrace it with all humility. I yield my heart to You that You may search me and lead me in the paths of righteousness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

KUPIMWA NA MUNGU – 1

Mtume Grace Lubega

Luka 18:10-14 (KJV); Watu wawili walipanda kwenda hekaluni kusali, mmoja Farisayo, wa pili mtoza ushuru. Yule Farisayo akasimama akiomba hivi moyoni mwake; Ee Mungu, nakushukuru kwa kuwa mimi si kama watu wengine, wanyang’anyi, wadhalimu, wazinzi, wala kama huyu mtoza ushuru. Mimi nafunga mara mbili kwa juma; hutoa zaka katika mapato yangu yote. Lakini yule mtoza ushuru alisimama mbali, wala hakuthubutu hata kuinua macho yake mbinguni, bali alijipiga-piga kifua akisema, Ee Mungu, uniwie radhi mimi mwenye dhambi. Nawaambia, huyu alishuka kwenda nyumbani kwake amehesabiwa haki kuliko yule; kwa maana kila ajikwezaye atadhiliwa, naye ajidhiliye atakwezwa.

Mtu anayejua hali yake ya kweli ndiye ambaye atafanya sala safi kabisa ya moyo.

Ikiwa haujui hali yako ya kweli, utaishi na aina ya udanganyifu ambao unaweza hatimaye kukuangamiza.

Farisayo katika andiko letu kuu hakujua msimamo wake kwa Mungu. Alidanganywa na matendo yake kwa kufikiria kwamba yalimstahiki kama mtu bora.

Kile ambacho Farisayo hakujua ni kwamba alikua na hatia ya dhambi kubwa ya haki ya kibinafsi.

Ni moyo wa unyenyekevu, kama ule wa mtoza ushuru ambao Mungu hutafuta.

Ni unyenyekevu kujua mapambano yako katika mwili na kuyapeleka kwa Mungu ili ashughulike nawe.

Unyenyekevu huu huanza na mtu ambaye amejifunza kujichunguza na kumruhusu Mungu auchunguze moyo wake.

Kuwa katika wakati wa neema haimaanishi kwamba tunapuuza dhambi na kukiri ukamilifu wetu bila kumruhusu Mungu kushughulikia mvutano wowote ambao mtu anaweza kuwa nao katika mwili.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Ufunuo 3:1-2, Yakobo 4:6

UJUMBE MKUU: Mtu anayejua hali yake ya kweli ndiye ambaye atafanya sala safi kabisa ya moyo.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Nimeukumbatia kwa unyenyekevu. Ninasalimisha moyo wangu Kwako ili Unichunguze na uniongoze kwa njia za haki. Kwa jina la Yesu, Amina.

当神称你的时候（第一部分）

使徒卢贝加

★ 路加福音 18:10-14 CNVS “有两个人上圣殿去祈祷，一个是法利赛人，一个是税吏。 法利赛人站着，祷告给自己听，这样说：‘ 神啊，我感谢你，我不像别人，勒索、不义、奸淫，也不像这个税吏。 我一个礼拜禁食两次，我的一切收入都奉献十分之一。’ 税吏却远远站着，连举目望天也不敢，只捶着胸说：‘ 神啊，可怜我这个罪人！’ 我告诉你们，这个人回家去，比那个倒算为义了。因为高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己谦卑的，必要升高。”

知道自己真实状态的人，是会做最纯洁的内心祈祷的人。

如果你不知道自己的真实状态，你将生活在一种最终会毁灭你的欺骗中。

我们圣经中的法利赛人不知道他在神里面的地位。他的行为欺骗了他，使他认为自己是个好人。

法利赛人不知道他犯了自以为是的大罪。自以为是的罪

神寻求的是谦卑的心，就像税吏的心一样。

知道你在肉身上的挣扎，把它们带到神面前，好叫他来对付你，这是谦卑。

这种谦卑始于一个人，他学会了审视自己，让神去审视他的心。

在恩典的特许之下，并不意味着我们掩盖了罪，承认了我们的完美无缺，却不允许神去处理一个人在肉体上的任何挣扎。

◆进深学习◆：启示录3:1-2，雅各书4:6

◆要领◆：知道自己真实状态的人，是会做最纯洁的内心祈祷的人。

◆祷告◆：亲爱的父亲，我感谢你告诉我真相。我谦卑地接受它。我将我的心交给你，好叫你鉴察我，引导我走义路。以耶稣的名义，阿门。
