Apostle Grace Lubega
Ephesians 3:17-19 (AMPC); May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
The presence of God in your life is the most important thing you need. The deeper the presence, the greater the manifestation of the power of God in your life.
His presence has levels. The level of the presence of God in a bar is not the same level of His presence in a church. The level of His presence in ministries also differs.
This variance in the levels of His presence also appears in our individual lives. God’s presence is manifested greatly in the lives of some individuals while in others, it is barely manifested at all.
If a man settles for a lesser level of the manifestation of His presence, it is inevitable that he will live a life with limited demonstration of the power of God.
Is this God’s plan for us? No. His desire is reflected in our theme scripture.
God wants you to be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! He is inviting us to deeper levels of His presence. He wants us to live lives wherein whatever we do, men look at us and see Him.
Don’t settle for less. Respond to this invitation. Seek and commune with Him more than ever before. Launch into His Word deeper than ever before. Do not merely live the Christian life, live an extraordinary Christian life.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Acts 17:28, John 17:23
GOLDEN NUGGET: God is inviting us to deeper levels of His presence. He wants us to live lives wherein whatever we do, men look at us and see Him. Don’t settle for less. Respond to this invitation.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I know who You are. Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. I have been called for greatness. I refuse to settle for less and yield my heart to Your power. My spirit is exercised to be continually conscious of the God who lives in me. By this, I live a life of miracles, signs and wonders. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

KIPIMO CHA UTAJIRI ZAIDI WA UWEPO WAKE
Mtume Grace Lubega
Waefeso 3: 17-19 (AMPC); Naomba Kristo kwa imani yenu [kwa hakika] aishi (kaeni, mfanye makao yake ya kudumu) mioyoni mwenu! Naomba muwe na mizizi ya kina katika upendo na kujengwa kwa usalama wa upendo, Ili muweze kuwa na nguvu ya kuelewa na kufahamu pamoja na watakatifu wote [watu wa Mungu waliojitolea, uzoefu wa upendo huo] ni upana na urefu na kina [chake]; [Ili kweli mje] kujua [kivitendo, kwa njia ya uzoefu kwenu] upendo wa Kristo, ambao unapita maarifa tu [bila uzoefu]; ili mjazwe [katika utu wenu wote] katika ukamilifu wote wa Mungu, [na kuwa na kipimo cha utajiri zaidi cha uwepo wa Mungu, na kuwa mwili uliojaa kabisa na kufurika na Mungu Mwenyewe]!
Uwepo wa Mungu katika maisha yako ni jambo muhimu zaidi unachohitaji. Uwepo wa kina zaidi, ndio dhihirisho kuu zaidi la nguvu za Mungu katika maisha yako.
Uwepo wake una viwango. Kiwango cha uwepo wa Mungu katika baa sio kiwango sawa cha uwepo Wake katika kanisa. Kiwango cha uwepo Wake katika huduma pia hutofautiana.
Tofauti hii katika viwango vya uwepo Wake pia huonekana katika maisha yetu binafsi. Uwepo wa Mungu unadhihirishwa sana katika maisha ya watu wengine wakati kwa wengine, haudhihirishi kabisa.
Ikiwa mtu atakaa kwa kiwango kidogo cha udhihirisho wa uwepo Wake, ni hakika kwamba ataishi maisha na maonyesho ya kiwango cha chini ya nguvu za Mungu.
Je, huu ndio mpango wa Mungu kwetu? La. Hamu yake inaonyeshwa katika andiko letu kuu.
Mungu anataka ujazwe [nafsi yako yote] kwa ukamilifu wote wa Mungu [inaweza kuwa na kipimo cha utajiri wa uwepo wa Mungu, na kuwa mwili uliojaa kabisa na kufurika Mungu Mwenyewe]! Anatualika katika viwango vya kina vya uwepo Wake. Anataka tuishi maisha ambayo katika chochote tunachofanya, wanadamu wanatuangalia na kumwona.
Usikubali kiwango cha chini. Jibu mwaliko huu. Mtafute na uwasiliane naye zaidi kuliko hapo awali. Zindua katika Neno Lake zaidi kuliko hapo awali. Usiishi tu maisha ya Kikristo, ishi maisha ya Kikristo ya ajabu.
Halleluya!
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Matendo 17:28, Yohana 17:23
UJUMBE MKUU: Mungu anatualika katika viwango vya kina zaidi vya uwepo Wake. Anataka tuishi maisha ambayo katika chochote tunachofanya, wanadamu wanatuangalia na kumwona. Usikubali kiwango cha chini. Jibu mwaliko huu.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Ninajua wewe ni nani. Yeye aliye ndani yangu ni mkuu kuliko yeye aliye katika dunia. Nimeitwa kwa ajili ya ukuu. Ninakataa kukubali kiwango cha chini na kusalimisha moyo wangu kwa nguvu Zako. Roho yangu inatekelezwa daima kumfahamu Mungu anayeishi ndani yangu. Kwa hili, ninaishi maisha ya miujiza, ishara na maajabu. Kwa jina la Yesu, Amina.
