PHANEROO~DEVOTION 14th October 2015 THE CONTROLLED SPIRIT Apostle Grace Lubega

[Ecclesiastes 8:8]; There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

The spirit can have manifestations in our lives. He can increase us, bless us, multiply us but we must learn the way of the spirit.

Every man that striveth for mastery is temperate in all things. Now, they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible one.

The place for temperance is being skillful. Our places of maturity are the obtaining of skill by the spirit. The spiritual world has skill. There are men who are skilled in the word and those that are not, even though they both have the word. Your spirit must be skilled in the word.

There is no man that has power over the spirit yet the skill of the spirit enables you to have power over your spirit. When the bible says that there is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit, it does not mean you cannot have power over your spirit.

The only problem with Christians is that they think they are men. You are not a man. You are begotten not of the will of flesh nor the will of man but of God. You are a spirit, the offspring of God.

Men cannot control their spirits but you have power over your spirit. It is by the skill in this wisdom that men can have power over their spirits. If you never have power over your spirit, your life will be breached. You will have a life that is not consonant with the testimony you carry as a Christian.

Many Christians are the way they are because their spirits are breached. They have a spirit that is not controlled by them because they read Ecclesiastes 8:8 saying that ‘there is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit.'

Well, no man has power over the spirit because he is speaking about a man, flesh and blood, but when you became born again, you ceased to partake of that portion. You have the power to control your spirit.

Excerpt from the sermon: WALK OUT by Apostle Grace Lubega

Our places of maturity are the obtaining of skill by the spirit.

PHANEROO~DEVOTION 13th October 2015 WE MUST GIVE BIRTH Apostle Grace Lubega

[Amos 8:11]; Behold the days come saith the Lord God that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water but of hearing the words of the Lord.

Days ago, the Lord allowed me to see and have a certain picture about the church and some of the ministers presently standing in our nation. It was too sad to see how many men are inclining to a certain spirit. We are literally exposing lies. We are not doing this by saying that so and so is a liar but every time we speak truth, we are breaking down institutions.

Think about it. A man has built something; it educated him; he bought a plot of land out of it; he built houses and a ministry and to his uttermost shock, he realizes that everything he ever built on was sinking sand.  When you stand in your fellowship and speak this thing that breaks everything the man has lived for, he is not going to smile with you. Unfortunately, many are not humble enough to move with the flames.

Ever since this thing started pouring out upon many, there are those who have realised that they don't find sleep anymore. Some have found that they don't have peace; not that there is a demon around them but because there is just a certain urge; something they feel has to happen.

The reason why that urgency is there is because God is preparing us. I feel we are like pregnant people. God is preparing us for something we are entering and it is going to be very spiritually sensitive.

That is why now I ask you, if you have been praying for thirty minutes; make it an hour. If you have been praying for one hour; make them two hours. If you have been praying for two hours; make them three hours. If you have been on whatsapp talking for seven hours; reduce them to two. We have an urgency and need to seek God like never before. Whether you are married or single, whether you are in school or not, we have to step up our game of seeking God.

Excerpt from the sermon: PHANEROO COMMITTEE CELEBRATIONS by Apostle Grace Lubega

PHANEROO~DEVOTION 12th October 2015 INTOXICATED II Apostle Grace Lubega

[Ephesians 5:18]; And be not drunk with wine wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit.

What does it mean to be filled by the Holy Ghost? It means he controls everything; your thought life, that even when you swing your arm, it cannot be by mistake. Even, when you sneeze, you are releasing answers.

This thing controls everything. When, you are under that control, you don't just look outside. You look outside by his leading. You don't just sit on a chair, you sit by his leading. You don't just sit in a car, you sit by his leading. You don't just speak any word. Everything that you do is governed and controlled.

When you get to the sick, it is not about you collecting your faculties of faith that you have been taught or trying to allude to a certain word and think that when you get it out of the bible, it will work. This thing automatically works when you reach a sick man.  That is why Paul speaks of living by the faith of the son and not faith in the son.

This thing got on one woman; Aimee Semple. The story says that she just started to preach and the streets flooded with men and women listening to her.  Today, you see men preaching on the streets and nobody is listening. Don't these men realize that there is a problem? How can a person start to preach on the street until the police decides to give her a square for people to come and listen to her? That is how her ministry started.

It is high time some men break what they carry as ministries and start the real thing. There are a lot of things in our generation that are not the spirit at all. These men built companies limited by shares. When you look keenly at some ministries, you will realize that they are companies limited by shares and nothing of the spirit.

Excerpt from the sermon: WALKING WORTHY OF THE LORD by Apostle Grace Lubega

To be filled by the Holy Ghost means that He controls everything.

PHANEROO~DEVOTION 11th October 2015 INTOXICATED Apostle Grace Lubega

[Ephesians 5:18]; And be not drunk with wine wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit.

The disciples were commanded by Christ to tarry in Jerusalem until the Holy Ghost is come.  They locked themselves up in the upper room because they were not in the mood of celebrating Pentecost. There is nothing about the upper room that was a Pentecostal experience. In fact these men in the upper room refused to celebrate Pentecost and chose to lock themselves up in order to get an experience that is bigger than Pentecost.

I don't understand Christians who say they are Pentecostal. The issue was not the day of Pentecost. It was the infill of the Holy Ghost. That is why after Pentecost, we still have people being filled by the Holy Ghost. God is saying that do not put your trust in days. Don't go back in the bondage of days and feasts. The substance is not on which day you are filled; the substance is ‘be ye filled’.

When the scriptures say be not drunk with wine wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit, many people do not understand that when a man is drunk with wine, whatever he does is because of the wine.

One time they brought to court a certain soldier who had killed a man in a drunken state and in his defense, it was said that the man could not have killed the other because the two were friends. It was said that it was the alcohol that killed the friend.  That means that when the bible says do not be drunk with wine wherein is excess, it means that a man can take too much of alcohol to a place where it consumes him and controls everything about him.

Another time, there is a man that took alcohol and when he got to the door of his house, his mind convinced him that the bed was right there. He took off his shirt, hang it up and slept right there; this is alcohol!

Do you realize that whatever gets control of you is what establishes faith and not you? How can a man drunk or high on drugs get the feeling he can beat the whole town? Where does he get that kind of faith from? He doesn't have any place to weigh weakness or limitation. That presupposes that he is not under any control except of that thing that has convinced him that he has power over everything.

I don't know if you get the concept of faith. If that thing can get on a man and convince him enough to have faith that he is on water yet he is on dry ground, how much more you who is controlled by the Holy Ghost?
Now when Christ comes walking on water, try to understand this concept. Faith blinds everything and controls a man to a place where even gravity bows.

Excerpt from the sermon: WALKING WORTHY OF THE LORD by Apostle Grace Lubega

Whatever gets control of you is what establishes faith.

PHANEROO~DEVOTION 10th October 2015 Apostle Grace Lubega TO FATHER A NATION II

[Psalms 11:3]; If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

You must understand that a nation swings on a pendulum of two things besides just the divine appointments of the kingly anointing, priestly anointing and the prophetic anointing.

It swings on the pendulum of the teacher or instructor and the father. Now fathering is deeper than just instructing even though instruction is necessary. Paul speaks of those two things and says that for though you have many instructors in the Lord, you have a few fathers.

He is not speaking of the Apostle, evangelist, teacher, pastor, or prophet. I am drawing this slightly above the fivefold ministry to the place where the end of the matter is that whether it is the apostle or the prophet or the teacher, or the evangelist they will fall in the lines of either an instructor or a father.

When you are dealing with a nation, understand that every nation in the world must carry a fathering Spirit and that fathering Spirit is of men the Lord has dealt with, dealt for, and dealt in.  This is more than just the gifts upon their lives, more than how many days they fasted and prayed, to a place where they can reproduce their ministry in other men.

That is the substance that multiplies in ministry and can position men below them to take higher places and help them move places way further and deeper than they themselves (the fathers) have ever gone.

Excerpt from the sermon: THE FATHERING SPIRIT by Apostle Grace Lubega

Every nation in the world must carry a fathering Spirit and that fathering Spirit is of men the Lord has dealt with, dealt for and dealt in.

PHANEROO~DEVOTION 9th October 2015 TO FATHER A NATION I Apostle Grace Lubega

[Psalms 11:3]; If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

What are the foundations? The foundations are the level of the highest ranking minister in the church in every nation. It means that a country is as deep in God as the deepest man in God in the country because even though God deals with nations, most of the times, he weighs the future of particular nations in relation to the lives of certain men.

That is why one time, when he wants to destroy Sodom and Abraham asks whether he will still destroy them if there be twenty,  ten or five righteous men, God says no. God was pushed to a place of saying he will not destroy a whole city because of the righteousness of one man.  In other words a city can survive because of the righteousness of one man.

Sometimes people think God looks for multitudes. The bible is very clear; a king is not saved by multitudes of people. If you are dealing with God, he doesn't save by many. He can save by few, by one. The bible says he looked for a man to stand in the gap and there was none. In other words God is ready to save a whole nation by the yielding of one man.

You must be conscious that the God you are dealing with does not need a million people to save Uganda. He is looking for one woman, one man to save Africa. He can get one person and one person changes everything. He just needs one man; entirely yielded.

Excerpt from the sermon: THE FATHERING SPIRIT by Apostle Grace Lubega

A country is as deep in God as the deepest man in God in the country because even though God deals with nations, most of the times, he weighs the future of particular nations in relation to the lives of certain men.

PHANEROO~DEVOTION 8th October 2015 Apostle Grace Lubega OUR ULTIMATE MINISTRY II

[Philippians 1:15-18]; (MSG) It's true that some here preach Christ because with me out of the way, they think they'll step right into the spotlight. But the others do it with the best heart in the world. One group is motivated by pure love, knowing that I am here defending the Message, wanting to help. The others, now that I'm out of the picture, are merely greedy, hoping to get something out of it for themselves. Their motives are bad. They see me as their competition, and so the worse it goes for me, the better--they think--for them. So how am I to respond? I've decided that I really don't care about their motives, whether mixed, bad, or indifferent. Every time one of them opens his mouth, Christ is proclaimed, so I just cheer them on! And I'm going to keep that celebration going.

Don't fight people because they don't understand you. Celebrate the fact that they are still preaching Christ and move on. For anybody who fights you but celebrates Christ, just cheer them on. It's not right to contend with fellow men over what they think is true or not.

I want to get you to a point where you should not be consumed to be like them. If they have a problem with you, let them have a problem. Don't have a problem with them. This Jesus who died for us is bigger than them and whether you want it or not a time is going to come where none of you can speak but the satisfaction is that you are going to stand in heaven and God says ‘well done good and faithful servant,’ that suffices.

So if you hear men preach, say ‘go on, because you are preaching Christ.’ They will say we have a problem with you, and you say, ‘I don't have a problem with you.' I am that transformed and God dealt with me a finer way. The bible says, ‘behold I show you a more excellent way.' That way is the way of love.

This is the place that puts men's guns down and makes a man say, ‘I could fight better and win because I have my rights and we are all equal before the law but I choose to lose certain battles and win certain wars because there is a maturity in me that has taught me a knowledge above what comes to men as mystery.' It makes me hold back when I must hold back because I have realized that that's where true warfare begins.

Excerpt from the sermon: THE OLIVET DISCOURSE by Apostle Grace Lubega

Don't fight people because they don't understand you. Celebrate the fact that they are still preaching Christ and move on.
