Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Timothy 1:12 (KJV); And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
It is a blessing to serve God. In our service to Him, it is He who is doing us a great favour and not vice versa.
Regardless of what you do for the ministry, consider it a privilege. It does not matter how minor your role may be, understand that in allowing you to do it, God counted you as worthy.
Some people seek satisfaction from their positions in their organisations. They strive to go higher up the corporate ladder in order to feel more fulfilled. Sadly, some still feel hollow even after attaining these promotions.
You cannot expect to serve a man and achieve a great level of self-actualization. This is only achievable in our service to God.
He is the best employer, not your company. His rewards are greater than a mere bonus at the end of the year. His blessing is deeper than Performance Incentive Pay. His benefits are better than the benefits that come with your payment grade.
Serve in whatever organisation that God has placed you in but you must also make it a point to serve God. Do something for the gospel and for the advancement of the kingdom of God. Avail yourself for the work of the Lord in the understanding that no honour is greater than to be called a servant of the Most High God.
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 6:10, Hebrews 13:16
GOLDEN NUGGET: You cannot expect to serve a man and achieve a great level of self-actualization. This is only achievable in our service to God. He is the best employer.
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this word. Thank you for the deep and incomparable privilege of serving You. I choose to do so with diligence and absolute dedication because I am not serving men but the creator of heaven and earth. My hands, feet, lips, mind, silver and gold are all Yours. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

KUHUSU UTUMISHI KWA MUNGU
Mtume Grace Lubega
1 Timotheo 1:12 (KJV); Nami namshukuru Kristo Yesu Bwana wetu, aliyenitia nguvu kwa sababu aliniona kuwa mwaminifu, akaniweka katika utumishi wake;
Ni baraka kumtumikia Mungu. Katika utumishi wetu kwake, ni Yeye ambaye anatufanyia upendeleo mkubwa na si sisi kwake.
Hata ufanye nini kwa ajili ya huduma, ione kuwa pendeleo. Haijalishi jukumu lako linaweza kuwa dogo kiasi gani, elewa kwamba katika kukuruhusu kufanya hivyo, Mungu alikuhesabu kuwa unastahili.
Baadhi ya watu hutafuta kuridhika kwa nyadhifa zao katika mashirika yao. Wanajitahidi kupanda ngazi ya ushirika ili wajisikie wameridhika zaidi. Cha kusikitisha ni kwamba baadhi yao bado hujiona wanyonge hata baada ya kupata upanzi huo.
Huwezi kutarajia kumtumikia mwanadamu na kufikia kiwango kikubwa cha kujitambua. Hili linaweza kufikiwa tu katika utumishi wetu kwa Mungu.
Yeye ndiye mwajiri bora zaidi, sio kampuni yako. Thawabu zake ni kubwa kuliko bonasi za mwisho mwa mwaka. Baraka zake ni za kina kuliko Malipo ya Motisha ya Utendaji. Manufaa yake ni bora kuliko manufaa yanayoletwa na daraja lako la malipo.
Tumikia katika kampuni yoyote ambayo Mungu amekuweka ndani yake lakini pia lazima ujiwekee utaratibu wa kumtumikia Mungu. Fanya kitu kwa ajili ya injili na kwa ajili ya kuendeleza ufalme wa Mungu. Jitolee kwa kazi ya Bwana katika ufahamu kwamba hakuna heshima iliyo kuu kuliko kuitwa mtumishi wa Mungu Aliye Juu Zaidi.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Waebrania 6:10, Waebrania 13:16
UJUMBE MKUU: Huwezi kutarajia kumtumikia mwanadamu na kufikia kiwango kikubwa cha kujitambua. Hili linaweza kufikiwa tu katika utumishi wetu kwa Mungu. Yeye ndiye mwajiri bora zaidi.
SALA: Baba, Nakushukuru kwa neno hili. Asante kwa majaliwa ya kina na yasiyo na kifani ya kukutumikia Wewe. Ninachagua kufanya hivyo kwa bidii na kujitolea kabisa kwa sababu situmikii wanadamu bali muumba wa mbingu na nchi. Mikono, miguu, midomo, akili, fedha na dhahabu zangu zote ni vyako. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
