Apostle Grace Lubega

James 4:3 (KJV); Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Our Heavenly Father is a God who answers prayer.

He said in 1 John 5:14-15, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

If He is a God who hears us and answers us when we pray, why then do some prayers go unanswered?

Our theme scripture gives us one such reason. People ask and do not receive from God because they ask out of lust.

When a man asks out of lust, his desire ends with him. Additionally, prayer resulting from lust is tainted by selfishness; it uses God as the means to an end.

When your prayers go unanswered, do some soul searching and ask the ultimate question, ‘am I lusting or asking out of a pure heart?’

The answer to this question will help you pray the right way.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Prayer resulting from lust is tainted by selfishness; it uses God as the means to an end. When your prayers go unanswered, do some soul searching and ask the ultimate question, ‘am I lusting or asking out of a pure heart?’

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for imparting greater and deeper wisdom in my life of prayer. Thank You for searching my heart and dealing with any lust. I pray with godly hunger and with divine purpose, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Omuntu ku arikushabira omu kweteenga, ekyeetengo kye nikihendera nawe. Okwongyera ahari ekyo, okushaba okurikuruga omu kweteenga nikushiishwa okweyendeza; Nikukozesa Ruhanga nk’omuhanda gw’okuhika ahamuheru.

Eshaara zaawe kuzirikubura kugarukwamu, shwijuma amagara gaawe oyebuuze ekibuuzo kikuru eki, ‘ndi omu kweteenga nari ninshaba n’omutima oguhikire?’

Eky’okugarukamu ky’ekibuuzo eki nikiza kukuyamba kushaba omu muringo oguhikire.

OBUTUSABA

Omukwenda Grace Lubega

Yakobo 4:3 (KJV); Inywe musaba, kandi nimutatunga, habwokuba musaba kubi, ngu musobole kwigusa okwegomba kwaanyu.

Isiitwe owomwiguru ali Ruhanga agarukamu esaara.

Akagamba omu 1 Yohaana 5:14-15, “Kandi bunu nibwo bugumu obutunyina omuli We, ngu, obutusaba ekintu kyoona kusigikira omukugonza Kwe, We atuhuura itwe, buli kyoona ekitusaba, tumanyire ngu tutunga byoona ebitumusabire We”.

Obwaraaba ali Ruhanga atuhuliriza kandi atugarukamu obutumusaba, hanyuma habwaki esaara ezimu zitagarukwaamu?

Omutwe gw’ekyahandikirwe kyaitu gukutuhereza ensonga emu. Abantu basaba nibatatunga kuruga hali Ruhanga habwokuba bazaba kurugiira omukwegomba kwaabu.

Omuntu obwasaba kurugiira omukwegomba, okuruhiira kwe kukanga nawe. Kuteraniza hali ekyo, esaara ekurugiira omukwegomba eba eijwire okwegondeza wenka; ekozesa Ruhanga nkomuhanda kukuhikya hamaliira.

Esaara yaawe obwetagarukwaamu, wekebere omutima gwawe kandi okaguze ekikaguzo ekikusingayo, ‘nyowe ndi omukwegomba oba nkusaba kurugiira omu mutima ogwezere?’

Engarukwaamu hali ekikaguzo kinu eija kukuyamba kusaba omulingo oguhikire.

Alleluya!

TUNAPOOMBA

Mtume Grace Lubega

Yakobo 4:3 (KJV); Hata mwaomba, wala hampati kwa sababu mwaomba vibaya, ili mvitumie kwa tamaa zenu.

Baba yetu wa Mbinguni ni Mungu anayejibu maombi.

Alisema katika 1 Yohana 5:14-15, “Na huu ndio ujasiri tulio nao kwake, ya kuwa, tukiomba kitu sawasawa na mapenzi yake, atusikia; Na kama tukijua kwamba atusikia, tuombacho chote, twajua kwamba tunazo zile haja tulizomwomba.”

Ikiwa yeye ni Mungu anayetusikia na kutujibu tunaposali, kwa nini basi baadhi ya maombi hayajibiwi?

Andiko letu kuu linatupa sababu moja kama hiyo. Watu huomba na hawapati kwa Mungu kwa sababu wanaomba kwa tamaa.

Mtu anapouliza kwa tamaa, tamaa yake inaishia kwake. Zaidi ya hayo, maombi yanayotokana na tamaa huchafuliwa na ubinafsi; unamtumia Mungu kama njia ya kufikia lengo.

Wakati maombi yako yanapokosa kujibiwa, fanya utafiti nafsini na uliza swali kuu, ‘Je, ninatamani au ninaomba kutoka katika moyo safi?’

Jibu la swali hili litakusaidia kuomba kwa njia sahihi.

Haleluya!

MASOMO YA ZIADA: 1 Yohana 5:14-15, 1 Yohana 3:22

UJUMBE MKUU: Maombi yanayotokana na tamaa yanachafuliwa na ubinafsi; unamtumia Mungu kama njia ya kufikia lengo. Wakati maombi yako yanapokosa kujibiwa, fanya utafiti nafsini na uliza swali kuu, ‘Je, ninatamani au ninaomba kutoka katika moyo safi?’

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Asante kwa kunipa hekima kubwa na ya kina katika maisha yangu ya maombi. Asante kwa kuutafuta moyo wangu na kukabiliana na tamaa yoyote. Ninaomba kwa njaa ya kimungu na kwa kusudi la Mungu, katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
