PHANEROO~DEVOTION 5th April 2016 Apostle Grace Lubega

Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity [Acts 8:21-23];

OF THE GALL OF BITTERNESS

When Simon the sorcerer saw the disciples lay hands on people, he asked to buy the gift of the Holy Spirit. They rebuked him because of the state of his heart.  If you study this portion of scripture and this mind of bitterness, you will realize that the spirit working in Simon the sorcerer was stirred because what he saw with the disciples was not working in him.

I have seen this in ministers and fellow Christians who criticize prophets because they do not prophesy themselves or healing because they do not heal men or demonstration of the spirit because they do not see that power in their lives. That is unstable of a minister to do.

Some Christians reduce the power of God to their individual experiences. Because he did not receive healing, he criticizes the healing ministry, because he cannot speak in tongues, he criticizes the speaking of tongues. As a result, we have seen the limitations of men taught as the doctrine of Christ. Never criticize something because you cannot do it or because you do not have it. Celebrate what you do not have, you’ll be surprised by how easily it will come to you.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 12:31, 1 Corinthians 12:4

GOLDEN NUGGET: Never criticize something because you cannot do it or because you do not have it. Celebrate what you do not have, you’ll be surprised by how easily it will come to you.

PRAYER: Father we thank you because you have given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places and all things are ours. All these things have been freely given unto us and we have access; thank you because this knowledge works in us; that no bitterness is found in our spirits but the understanding that as our father, there is nothing you can hold back from us. Lord we thank you for this mind works in us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
