PHANEROO~DEVOTION 25th March 2016 WE DON’T GIVE UP Apostle Grace Lubega

[Galatians 6:9]; And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I once asked a dear Christian why they were no longer praying or attending church services and they said that they had believed God and the message for so long but nothing seemed to be working for them. I realized that this Christian  had not even walked an inch of troubles the men and women in scripture, and the rest of church history had to endure yet she had already given up.

I said in my heart, God, open her eyes to understand that many have been through worse but they kept speaking to their souls, ‘don’t give up for in due course you shall reap.’ I realised that in all these things, when we matured and learnt certain truths, things started to change.

If you are consistent, persistent, and patient, In due time you will reap. Yes, there are those times in life where the word seems not to be working, you do the word and it does not make sense, you pray for a sick man and he dies the next day, you cast out a devil and it refuses to go. In all these things, I have learnt that you have to hold the beginning of your confidence up to the end. For if you do this, the scriptures say you will partake Christ (Heb 3:14), You will see God at work more than ever before.

Things may not be working today but keep persisting, yes the job might refuse to come this year and next year but stay at it, don’t leave the gospel. Stay in there and draw closer to God. There was a time when almost everyone left Jesus and he asked the disciples, ‘Are you also going to leave?’ and they said ‘Where can we go? You are the fountain of life.’ Sometimes you must understand that when you leave this gospel, you are walking away from the fountain of life. Don’t give up, in due season you will surely reap.

Excerpt from the sermon OF THE EXCELLENT SPIRIT by Apostle Grace Lubega

Sometimes you must understand that when you leave this gospel, you are walking away from the fountain of life. Don’t give up, in due season you will surely reap.
