PHANEROO~DEVOTION 23rd March 2016 PATTERNS OF GREATNESS I Apostle Grace Lubega

[1 Corinthians 9:25]; And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

If someone wants to live a normal and mediocre life, they can ignore certain principles but if he wants mastery, that man must be temperate in all things.

Mastery, like faith, is a choice and the choice in context is that decision you make to be temperate in all things. The Greek word for temperance is translated to mean following the patterns laid by the spirit. There are patterns by the spirit that grow the minister; those that increase the worshiper, that grow the intercessor, that expand the territory of the preacher, that grow the prophet and these patterns are in the Bible. If you follow them you get results as sure as today is and if you don’t, you hit shipwreck.

However, you must be humble enough to know these patterns, be teachable. In this world not all men are rich, but there are patterns that make men rich. There are patterns that restore marriages, as not all marriages are properly functioning.

The first principle is this; if it is not working in your life, look for a man in whom it is working; whose wealth is increasing, whose marriage is flourishing, whose ministry is expanding, he has something to teach you. God works through men; that is why Christ came in the flesh. The proximate question is, are you humble enough to be taught, and to learn from those ahead of you?

Excerpt from the sermon: DISTINCTIVE MINISTRY by Apostle Grace Lubega

If it is not working in your life, look for a man in whom it is working; whose wealth is increasing, whose marriage is flourishing, whose ministry is expanding, he has something to teach you.
God works through men; that is why Christ came in the flesh.
