PHANEROO~DEVOTION 12th November 2015 THE TRUE IMITATIONS Apostle Grace Lubega

[1 Corinthians 11:1]; Imitate me then as I imitate Christ.

Some men speak of seed that has not been planted in their spirits yet they seek to produce fruit. Moreover, if you look at where their submissions are, the men before them have not been patterned for those below them to imitate them as patterns.

They cannot be imitated as patterns because the men above them also labour to teach patterns of which they are not. They also passed on those things to the people below them to be taught as patterns. Then, you realise that there is a generation of people that have seed but which seed has never become accurately defined as true fruit because they were always trying to teach patterns which they never lived.

I want you to understand that bread is different from seed because bread is an aftermath of wheat, which wheat is a result of a certain fruit in a man's life. When Jesus says, ‘I am the bread of life’, he is the ultimate entity of the finished works of God.

 As a Christian, even though I am this ground, and I produce fruit, it is also important for me to have a certain understanding of maturity as an individual that fruit can work in me, to heal men, to set them free and give people answers but that doesn't define my maturity. Our maturity is our response to the bread. However, we ought to know how men fetch bread, because when that bread is eaten, the promise made to the woman is that you shall hunger no more.

Why is there still hunger for bread if men have partaken of the bread which is of God? He told us in John that you shall eat of it and you shall hunger no more. That means there is no place where you shall run out.

 Isaiah says that the Lord has given me the tongue of the learned to know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary. The tongue of the learned is the place where God works in us and deals with us so perfectly, that people look at us and realise we are not learning on the job.

When a man ministers from the plane of the learned, you realise that the men looking at him will not be looking at him as a man learning but will be looking at him as a teacher. Teachers have learnt everything and so they teach you. However, I have seen men instructing others in the things of the spirit yet they themselves are not learned. They are not yet dealt with.

It is as the Old Testament dispensation defines Ephraim as bread half baked. They are not burnt on the other side. They are not fully dealt with and therefore they cannot minister. Even the seed coming out of our lives can prove if we are 100% dealt with.

I tell people that it is good to be gifted. Men will always be drawn to us by our gifts but after these gifts have done the perfect work in us by the seed we sow in them, men will seek a certain maturity in us. That is where they will want to test the bread in us whether it carries the leaven of the Pharisees or it carries its own purity as the bread of God. If they realise that this is truly the bread of life, men will not look at us as only mere men, they will look at us as Christ.  That is the true imitation.

The seed coming out of our lives can prove if we are 100% dealt with.
