WEEKLY DEVOTION WITH RMA | MONDAY JUNE 12, 2023

 

Topic: NO ONE KNOWS BUT YOU: UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

Scripture: LUKE 12:54-56

Then Jesus said to the people, “When you see clouds growing bigger in the west, you say, A rainstorm is coming.’ And soon it begins to rain. When you feel the wind begin to blow from the South, you say, ‘it will be a hot day.’ And you are right. You hypocrites! You can understand the weather. Why don’t you understand what is happening now?”

Praise God! 

It is a wonderful new day, new week in which we have the opportunity to refresh and restart our systems (mind, body, and soul). Yes!  Thank God!

I return all the glory, praise and honor to Him who deserves it all; the one who gives me and all of us strength to do what we do. That is God our Creator through whom we live, move and have our being (Acts 17:28).

I am not so certain about where you are, who you are with and what is going on in your life but I have this faith within me that you are in a good place, with the right person/people and that everything within and around you is fine. That is my prayer for you.

We are called upon to keep watch and pray at all times because the times we live in are dynamic. They haven’t been stable but we believe that a point will come in time when all storms shall be over.

I thank God for the achievements of last week and pray that God will help us achieve more this week.

I stand with people who have sick ones and those who have lost loved ones in the most recent passed. May you continue to find strength and comfort in God alone who is always with us in good and bad times.

We just completed a week where the President of the Republic of Uganda took forced live after testing positive for COVID-19; where child labor is reported to be a big challenge as reported during the commemoration of World Day against Child Labor; where discussions continue around the recently passed Anti Homosexuality Act 2023; where the economy continue to press the citizenry; among others.

When we see and hear of all that is surrounding us, we cannot afford to be silent but rather, PRAY to the God of heaven and earth that things will get better for everyone.

In that regard, I call upon each of us to:

  1. Look at life from a positive angle knowing that no one is better off than you; everyone is struggling in one way or another. Pray that struggling will end and you live life to its fullness each moment of your life.
  2. Do not over give yourself to people; do not over trust or depend on people. Depend on God for He is known to keep our deepest secrets and to understand us better than anyone else. Remember, people have their own concerns but God’s number one concern is you.
  3. Appreciate that the times could be difficult but they can also change. Nothing in this world lasts forever and nothing in this world can satisfy. Only in God do we have a cup that will never run dry. Just when you think you are at the edge of dropping off due to thirst and lack, God refills your cup.
  4. Continue to speak into what you want to see and it will come to pass. Speak into your enemy or enemies and pray that God will help you to have enough grace to love your enemies and to pray for them and as you do that, you will overcome evil with good, always.

I wish you a fruitful and peaceful week.   

Robert Mugisa Abwooli (RMA)

NOVEMBER 2024 | APPRECIATING MUMMY MOLLY MUSANA ADYEERI

Image
  It is a settled fact that every human being has a mother. I can't tell why I am already smiling but come to think of it, it is NOT just about human beings but every creature. Each of us, each and every creature here-living has a mother! This is the foundation of this conversation; the foundation of life. Allow me to make a reflection on/about my mother, Molly Musana Adyeeri. Let her be considered as point of contact for all mothers. Over the years, I have heard people say that none of us chose the parents that we have; no one chose the family where we belong. It could be true. But we are here and we are there, anyway. It is therefore important that we appreciate who we are, where we hail from, who we belong to and where we are headed. Should you ever find yourself not liking your parents or your family, please re-read this article. Should you feel grateful that you have the best parents and family to which you belong, please read this article again and share it with your...

MARCH 2025 | CELEBRATING WOMEN: DOING THE RIGHT THING

Image
Proverbs 31:10: “A Wife of Noble Character Who Can Find? She Is Worth Far More Than Rubies. Her Husband Has Full Confidence in Her and Lacks Nothing in Value.” Many (not all) men are gathering and sitting around tables to do just one thing: celebrate women and pray for them to flourish in life. I am talking about that man who knows the value and worth of a woman. We look forward to March 8, 2025 when we shall be celebrating International Women’s Day. To give it some context, we might have to date back to March 8 1917 when thousands of women in Russia heralded the start of the Russian revolution by going on strike to demand bread and in protest at the toll of Russian lives in the First World War. Within days, the Tsar had abdicated and women were given the vote. International Women’s Day has been celebrated ever since. Some other sources indicate that the United Nations began celebrating March 8 as International Women’s Day in 1975 which was the International Women’s Year. The day...

YOUR PERSONALITY REALLY MATTERS_IT IS EVERYTHING

Image
  Greetings! ​  We are still in the third week of 2025!  We did set off. The plane took off, already. We are on flight. First things first... How do you feel right now? Are you okay? Are your people okay? Is everything around you okay? If all is fine, thank and trust God more. If all is NOT that fine, pray and trust God to carry you through it all. All that I need is for you to be fine each day. The year seems to be running fast already. We are drawing to the end of January. Have you noticed? We don't have any time to regret or focus on the past negativities. We can focus more on the positives but even then, those shouldn't take too much of your time because there is more positive vibe to build and grow.  Your personality and character will assist in moving you in the positive direction. Whatever we have been, whatever we are and whatever we will be wholly depends on our personality and character. Be grateful if your personality and character checklist or tes...
