WEEKLY DEVOTION WITH MUGISA ABWOOLI | 05-12.02.2024


GROWING INTO NEW STRENGTH: SOWING SEED

LUKE 8:11-15

11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Good morning! Good day!

Welcome to this new week where we put our past behind and focus on the present and future.

It is such a wonderful privilege to be alive today, leave alone the fact that we are well or unwell. The focus is on life here. The rest can always fall in place.

We thank God that children are fully back to school and all the glory, honor and praise goes back to God. Amen.

My dear Family, Relatives, Friends, Everyone;

When everything around you is moving on well, you are likely to forget that there are other places where things are at standstill. I mentioned somehow in the recent past that people are sick in hospitals and there are many who have passed away. Life is real and, death is real too. We can not take life nr can we take death for granted. Both are God’s innovation and He knows the secret behind each of them. Let us commit more to the one who created us and has allowed us to live to see another moment in life.

In relation to the portion of Scripture that we have read, my concentration is on the fact that the seed is the Word of God. This Word is contained in the Bible (for the believing Christians). In this Word and through it, we find all that we need for life, encouragement and breakthrough.

I know for sure that when you plant seed/God’s Word on fertile ground, you will definitely get a good harvest to the tune of hundred-fold or more/above. This is the week where we should be very careful about where we plant our seed(s). We should be very careful what we say and to whom we say it because each word shall grow in one way or another. Whether for a short time or forever, each word we speak will have some impact on people’s lives.

Let us celebrate with those who celebrate; let us grieve with those who grieve. I know for sure that whether it is joy or pain, today it is me, tomorrow it will be someone else. Let us live in the moment together so that when joy or pain come into the arena of any of us, we will be there for each other.   

We pray for all families that God’s love and peace shall prevail;

We pray for all leadership and management at all levels – political, religious, cultural;

We pray for all employers and employees;

We pray for all business persons at all scales;

We pray for all professionals;

We pray for all parents; guardians; custodians; matrons and all children;

May God reign.

We come against any powers and forces of evil. Whatever plan(s) the enemy(ies) might plot against us, we cancel in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare and proclaim that we are more than conquerors. We are winners and we will win more today and in days to come. Amen.

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...
