SEPTEMBER 2024 | SACRIFICE LEADS TO GAIN

 

JOHN 3:16

“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON SO THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT DIE BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE”

Allow me start this devotion with a question:

What is it that you have sacrificed in your life? What is that one thing that you valued so very much but for the sake of life, you gave it to someone else to save them from death or from a very complex situation?

I am Robert Mugisa Abwooli, the person who sat behind the computer or device to share this message with you. I am so blessed and always blessed to listen to the inner voice that tells me to do what I do, as long as it will bring a smile upon someone’s life; as long as it will cause some comfort or discomfort to someone. Yes, discomfort in a way that there are some people who may not wish to read or listen to messages of devotion because they think it is a waste of time! To us who are being saved daily, such messages are a plus to our faith and to our ability to relate practically with the realities of life.

This is the day that God has made. We will continue to rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). This is the month that God has brought us into and we shall continue to rejoice and be glad in it. We thank God for our past, present and future days. We can only trust Him to lead us through to the very end.

This is a month where we will need to be more united as relatives (families), friends and nation. There shall be no room for division among us except where we are dividing up labour for purposes of diversification of work so that we can advance together in life. It is a month where none of us will move if one of us is not brought on board. We will have to ensure that the lazy ones among us are encouraged to wake up and work so that they do not become a burden to anyone along the way. We must all grow and advance together.

September is a birth-month for many people. We wish them the very best of life and luck. We pray that God shall continue to be their light in the darkness; to make a way for them not just where there seems to be no way but even where there is no way at all.

I am mindful that there are people who have crossed over to September with quite challenging situations. I know for sure that as a family of the Musanas, we are looking up to God for Simon’s healing and deliverance. We are trusting God for a miracle, a sign, a wonder. We know that he is God of all mankind and therefore nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:27). To us a human beings filled with flesh and blood, somethings might seem too hard but with God, they are simple and they are possible (Mathew 19:26). If there are people who can pray with us, let us join hands and hearts to pray for this young man’s restoration.

We will focus more, this month, on sacrifice. We must be able to sacrifice our time, gifts, energy, belongings and anything else for the sake of gaining in the ultimate. Do you have something that you can give up for another person to be well? That is what we are talking about. Do you have a talent that you can share with others so that they are blessed? That is what we are talking about.

We pray against the spirit and powers of selfishness. We pray against hate and hatred. We pray against envy. We pray against rumormongering. We pray against sickness, disease and death. In all things we pray that God’s perfect plan shall be fulfilled in our lives that is the plan to prosper us; to give us a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). All other gods are works of men and they are but mere counterfeits but our God is the true and everlasting God who does not pride in seeing a sinner die but repent and turn back to Him and live! We choose life today and the days to come.

I pray for leaders at all levels. May God grant us wisdom and understanding. May we lead God’s people in the way of truth. May we disassociate ourselves from any form of evil but work towards wellness and wellbeing of all those that God has entrusted unto our care.

May we all work towards true love for one another in this month, remembering that no one is an island; that we need each other at every point of our lives.

Best regards.

JANUARY TO MARCH 2026: WHAT IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES? ENDURING THROUGH AND THROUGH

Image
I may not be certain of how you are feeling or what exactly you are going through but as a fellow human being, I know that there must be a situation or situations that you could be facing that are either exciting or dismaying. I am placing these thoughts together two days after I attended burial of one of the leaders (Chairman LC1) within my local area who passed away in an accident on Friday February 27, 2026 somewhere, between Luweero and Wobulenzi (as told). When I first got the news, it didn’t occur to me that the name I heard was relating to the person I knew. I can’t tell why I thought it was another person. It happens for the mind. It was not until I went to see one of the engineers in the business center that I got clear information that the person who had passed on was the leader I knew. He was no more! Further information was that the people he was moving with, had also died. Such pain! The past two months of 2026 have been marred with news of deaths here and there. If no...

JUNE INTO JULY | THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S GOODNESS

Image
  Psalm 23:6 | Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all my days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Welcome to the month of July, 2025! June is done just like we went through May, April, March, February and January of this year.  I thank God for this far He has brought each of us and our loved ones (people within our circles). Look or see how far you have come! From the many years past, to the last six months of this year! Isn’t our Creator amazing? He is, very amazing. Over the past, we have experienced both good times on the one hand and challenging times on the other. I believe that all these were for the glory, honor and praise to God. We thank God for the commemorations and celebrations. We rejoice with those who rejoice and stand with those who have faced trials of different kinds. What are you focusing on this season? Who are you dealing with? Who do you intend to deal with? Will the relationship you are in or intending to get into yield...
