PHANEROO~DEVOTION 26th March 2016 FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL Apostle Grace Lubega

[2 Corinthians 4:8-10]; We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

One of my greatest inspirations in church history, John G Lake gave an account of how he once lived a normal Christian life for so long until one day he went to God and asked him for more, God told him, ‘If you hunger, you will find me.’

John G Lake fasted for nine months, seeking the face of God, and one day, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit came on him so mightily. He regarded it as an experience he could never forget because of the lasting mark it left on his soul. The power of God came upon him and he says it felt like electricity, power and light. He testifies that he got to a point where he healed men by the multitudes, but after they were all healed, he went to God and told him ‘I still want to know you more.’

There is a dear Christian who has not healed even a flu and he is comfortable with his life yet another man had healed a whole city and still went to God and told him 'I still want to know you'. The question for us is what did he want that our generation does not hunger for?

When the glory of God rests upon you, God will separate you from many things. However, many men are not selfless for it, they are selfish. That glory will make you care that there is someone out there who needs to know Jesus and you are the vessel available. Sadly, in our selfishness we betray God. The pastor offended you for instance, and you refused to lead worship. A certain young man who could have accepted Jesus by the anointing of God upon your life misses the opportunity because you are mad at your pastor.

Can’t you think for a moment how many men are dying because of your indifference to the gospel? If you don’t understand that for the lives of men do we live every day, there's a glory that will not function fully in your life.

Excerpt from the sermon: OF THE EXCELENT SPIRIT by Apostle Grace Lubega


If you don’t understand that for the lives of men do we live every day, there's a glory that will not function fully in your life.
