Apostle Grace Lubega
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (KJV); And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
In the previous devotions, we learnt about the first degree of faith which is the knowledge of God and the second degree which is to believe God personally. The third degree is wisdom in faith.
Faith requires wisdom.
When faith is not exercised in wisdom, it may either destroy the man who seeks to demonstrate this faith or stumble those who observe him walking in “faith”.
For example, must we go around drinking poison because the Bible says in Mark 16:18 that if we drink any deadly thing we shall not die? Well, there are people who have attempted to demonstrate their faith in this way and died for it because this faith was not exercised with wisdom.
In Romans 14:21 (AMP), the Bible cautions us not to do anything that makes a brother stumble, hurts his conscience, offends or weakens him. The English Standard Version of Romans 14:22 says, “The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God.”
If a man watches you demonstrate faith, may he never leave with questions. His conscience is more important to God than your need to demonstrate divine power.
By wisdom, our faith not only brings answers to us but it also ministers to those who watch this faith in action.
FURTHER STUDY: Romans 14:21-22, Mark 16:18
GOLDEN NUGGET: Faith requires wisdom. By wisdom, our faith not only brings answers to us but it also ministers to those who watch this faith in action.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. You are wisdom and live inside me. I know that I am wise, not by character but by nature. Because of this, my every act of faith testifies of Your power and draws many people to the Kingdom of Light. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Okugeza, tulina okugenda nga tunywa obutwa kubanga Baibuli egamba mu Makko 16:18 nti bwe tunaanywanga ekintu ekitta, tetujja kufa? Weewaawo, waliyo abantu abagezezzaako okulaga okukkiriza kwabwe mu ngeri eno era ne bafa kubanga okukkiriza kuno tekwakolebwa n’amagezi.

Singa omuntu akulaba ng’oyolesa okukkiriza, leka aleme kugendanga na bibuuzo. Endowooza ye ya mugaso nnyo eri Katonda okusinga obwetaavu bwo obw’okulaga amaanyi ga Katonda.

YONGERA OSOME: Abaruumi 14:21-22, Makko 16:18.
AKASUMBI KA ZAABU: Okukkiriza kwetaagisa amagezi. Ku lw’amagezi, okukkiriza kwaffe tekutuleetera buleetezi byakuddamu naye kuweereza n’eri abo abalaba okukkiriza kuno nga kukola.
ESSAALA: Kitange Omwagalwa, Nkwebaza olw’amazima gano. Oli magezi era obeera munda mu nze. Mmanyi nti ndi mugezi, ssi lwa bikolwa naye olw’embala. Ku lwa kino, buli kikolwa kyange eky’okukkiriza kijulira amaanyi Go era kireeta abantu bangi eri obwakabaka bw’ekitangaala. Mu linnya erya Yesu, Amiina.

DARAJA ZA IMANI – 3
Mtume Grace Lubega
1 Wakorintho 2:4-5 (KJV); Na neno langu na kuhubiri kwangu hakukuwa kwa maneno ya hekima yenye kushawishi akili za watu, bali kwa dalili za Roho na za nguvu, ili imani yenu isiwe katika hekima ya wanadamu, bali katika nguvu za Mungu. Hekima ya Kweli ya Mungu
Katika ibada zilizopita, tulijifunza kuhusu digrii ya kwanza ya imani ambayo ni ujuzi wa Mungu na daraja ya pili ambayo ni kumwamini Mungu binafsi. Daraja ya tatu ni hekima katika imani.
Imani inahitaji hekima.
Imani isipotumika katika hekima, inaweza kumwangamiza mtu anayetafuta kuwa na imani hii au kuwakwaza wale wanaomwona akitembea katika “imani” .
Kwa mfano, je, tunapaswa kuzunguka huku tukinywa sumu kwa sababu Biblia inasema katika Marko 16:18 kwamba tukinywa kitu cha kufisha hatutakufa? Naam, kuna watu ambao wamejaribu kuonyesha imani yao kwa njia hii na kufa kwa ajili yake kwa sababu imani hii haikutekelezwa kwa hekima.
Katika Warumi 14:21 (AMP), Biblia inatuonya tusifanye jambo lolote linalomkwaza, kuumiza dhamiri yake, kumuudhi au kumdhoofisha. Toleo la Kiingereza la Warumi 14:22 linasema, “Imani uliyo nayo iwe na iwe kati yako na Mungu.”
Mtu akikutazama ukiwa na imani, kamwe asiachwe na maswali. Dhamiri yake ni muhimu zaidi kwa Mungu kuliko hitaji lako la kuonyesha uwezo wa kiungu.
Kwa hekima, imani yetu haileti tu majibu kwetu, bali pia inahudumia wale wanaoitazama imani hii katika matendo.
MASOMO YA ZIADA: Warumi 14:21-22, Marko 16:18
UJUMBE MKUU: Imani inahitaji hekima. Kwa hekima, imani yetu haileti tu majibu kwetu, bali pia inahudumia wale wanaoitazama imani hii katika matendo.
SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa kweli hii. Wewe ni hekima na unaishi ndani yangu. Najua kwamba mimi ni mwenye hekima, si kwa tabia bali kwa asili. Kwa sababu hii, kila tendo langu la imani linashuhudia uwezo Wako na kuwavuta watu wengi kwenye Ufalme wa Nuru. Katika jina la Yesu, Amina.
