Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV); Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Self-examination is an important spiritual discipline. If you do not practice it, you may come to the presence of the father with an identity that is not yours.

There is an interesting perspective to the story of Jacob and Esau that I wish to open your eyes to.

When Jacob stole his brother’s blessing, it was a case of a man [in the flesh] seeking a position that was not his.

His father Isaac said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” (Genesis 27:22).

This is happening in the church of Christ today. Men are approaching the father with the voice of Jacob but the hands of Esau. What they say is not who they are. 

While Jacob’s trick could work on a blind father, understand that God is not blind.

The heavenly father sees beyond actions to the state of the heart.

He can never be fooled by hands alone (what men do outwardly).

This is why we must humble ourselves to God to allow Him to weigh our hearts because this weighing reveals our true state in God so that He can do His desired work in us.

FURTHER STUDY: Genesis 27:22, Revelation 3:1-2

GOLDEN NUGGET:  Self-examination is an important spiritual discipline. If you do not practice it, you may come to the presence of the father with an identity that is not yours.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this knowledge. I know that You are dealing with me every day. I am broken and bent before You. May I never look to what is on the outside to justify my place in You. My heart is on the altar that You may truly weigh me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Kitaawe Isaaka yagamba, ” “Eddoboozi lya Yakobo, naye engalo z’engalo za Esawu.” (Olubereberye 27:22).

KUPIMWA NA MUNGU – 2

Mtume Grace Lubega

2 Wakorintho 13:5 (KJV); Jijaribuni wenyewe kwamba mmekuwa katika imani; jithibitisheni wenyewe. Au hamjijui wenyewe, kwamba Yesu Kristo yu ndani yenu? Isipokuwa mmekataliwa.

Kujichunguza ni nidhamu muhimu ya kiroho. Usipojifanyia mazoezi, unaweza kufika katika uwepo wa baba na kitambulisho ambacho sio chako.

Kuna mtazamo wa kuvutia katika hadithi ya Yakobo na Esau ambao ningependa kuyafungua macho yako.

Wakati ambapo Yakobo aliiba baraka ya ndugu yake, ilikua jaribio la mtu [katika mwili] kutafuta nafasi ambayo haikua yake.

Baba yake Isaka alisema, “Sauti ni sauti ya Yakobo, lakini mikono ni mikono ya Esau.” (Mwanzo 27:22).

Hili linafanyika katika kanisa la Kristo leo. Watu wanamkaribia baba na sauti ya Yakobo lakini mikono ya Esau. Wasemavyo sivyo walivyo.
Ingawa ujanja wa Yakobo ungeweza kufanya kazi kwa baba kipofu, elewa kwamba Mungu sio kipofu.

Baba wa mbinguni huona zaidi ya matendo kufikia hali ya moyo.

Kamwe hawezi kudanganywa na mikono peke yake (wanachofanya watu kwa nje).

Hii ndio maana lazima tujinyenyekeze kwa Mungu ili kumruhusu apime mioyo yetu kwa sababu uzani huu unafunua hali yetu ya kweli kwa Mungu ili aweze kufanya kazi anayotamani ndani yetu.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Mwanzo 27:22, Ufunuo 3:1-2

UJUMBE MKUU: Kujichunguza ni nidhamu muhimu ya kiroho. Usipojifanyia mazoezi, unaweza kufika katika uwepo wa baba na kitambulisho ambacho sio chako.

SALA: Baba, Ninakushukuru kwa maarifa haya. Ninajua ya kwamba unashughulika nami kila siku. Nimevunjika na kuinama mbele yako. Naomba nisiangalie kamwe yale yaliyo nje ili kuhalalisha nafasi yangu kwako. Moyo wangu uko kwenye madhabahu ili unipime kweli. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.

★ 被神衡量 (第二）

使徒卢贝加

哥林多后书 13:5 (CKJV); 你们总要自己省察有信心没有。也要自己试验。岂不知你们若不是可弃绝的，就有耶稣基督在你们心里吗？

自省是一项重要的属灵原则。如果你不实践它，你可能会带着一个不属于你的身份来到父面前。

关于雅各和以扫的故事，我有一个有趣的观点，我想让大家了解。

当雅各偷了他兄弟的祝福，这是一个人寻求一个不属于他的职位。

他父亲以撒说，”声音是雅各的声音，手却是以扫的手” （创世记27:22）。

这是今天在基督的教会中发生的事。 人接近父亲，是用雅各的声音，却是以扫的手。 他们所说的不是他们本身。

虽然雅各的诡计可以在失明的父亲身上奏效，但你要明白神不是瞎子。

天父看到的是内心的状态，而不是外在行动。

他永远不会被人的双手所愚弄（男人的外表）。

这就是为什么我们必须向神谦卑，让他衡量我们的心，因为这种衡量揭示了我们在神里面的真实状态，以便他能在我们身上完成他所期望的工作。
