This is the first Bible Study Update of this
academic year and God is ready to release an abundance of revelation that will
catapult you into a new level spiritually, socially and materially. I believe
that this is a time of promotion. Revelation is being released to the entire
body of Christ in this end-time which has been hidden from the generations
before us. There is no better time to be alive than now and no better place to
be than to receive revelation from a time-tested and God approved ministry such
as this one. I believe that God's apostles and prophets are now standing ready
and receiving final orders from the great Captain of our salvation, Jesus
Christ, before releasing the final weapons that are needed to equip the
believers in the church world-wide for the final end-time harvest. "Which in other ages was not made
known unto the sons of men, as it is NOW REVEALED unto his holy APOSTLES and
PROPHETS by the Spirit" (Ephesians 3:5).
This semester we are going to hold weekly
meetings in room A5 Mary Stuart hall (Box) which is a God-given venue where the
Holy Ghost shall manifest in all His fullness. The time is just right and
meetings will be held every Tuesday from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. The venue is located
conveniently on the ground floor for the benefit of all those who resent
climbing the unending stairs in Box. There is no better place to be on this
campus than in the fellowship of believers at the right time. God desires for
you to be groomed and prepared for the work of the ministry and He has ordained
for you to be a member of this great Bible Study to fulfill your heavenly
mandate and assignment. The Kingdom of God is a place of giving and receiving.
When you receive something good it is imperative for you to share it with
others. That is why I charge and encourage you to bring along a friend or two
as you come for these life-transforming meetings. "He (Andrew) first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto
him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he
brought him to Jesus" (John 1:41-42). God expects you to bring people
to Jesus and to Jesus' representatives on the earth.
I remember just as if it were yesterday when we
started our first long-running Bible Study meeting in CCE hall in the recess
term of 2001/2002. That time I was a member of the Makerere University
Christian Union committee and during the recess term I was the Outreach
Secretary and overseer of Jerusalem (the gentlemen's hall, Nkrumah) and Judea
(the ladies' hall, CCE) fellowships. Every week we had outreaches that would
alternate between Nkrumah and CCE, we also had an outreach to Mulago hospital
in conjunction with the medical fellowship. That week the outreach was in CCE
and come time for door-to-door I was moving with the grandpa of Lumumba
fellowship, Aliku Twalib. We reached one of the rooms on the ground floor of
the CCE main block and discovered that many of the ladies in that room were
born again so we encouraged them in the Word of God and shared with them
concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We promised to return another time
and continue to share concerning the same topic. I believe it was a Tuesday when we had the outreach and on
Thursday I came back with another brother, Arinaitwe Moses (also called to be
an apostle and who is currently the Papa of MUCU) with whom we continued to
share the word to these sisters and expounded more concerning the baptism of
the Holy Spirit. At the end of the sharing session Moses laid hands on them to
receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and all the five members present
received the baptism with the initial physical evidence of speaking with
tongues. Most of the members of that room were recently converted to Christ and
were coming out of the Roman Catholic cult. We started having meetings together
with them once a week on Tuesdays in the Senior Common Room of CCE. At the same
time we had a second Bible Study running in another room in CCE. However the
second Bible Study never progressed beyond the recess term. With time we came
to find out that some of the sisters in the first Bible Study group were from
Africa hall and we thus were able to continue the meetings in their room the
next semester. The Bible Study was held weekly in Africa hall under my
leadership and continued for the space of two years. Within these two years the
sisters who were part of this ministry rapidly grew in their salvation and
consequently became international evangelists. During the semester we would
have outreaches to different halls on campus together with the members of the
Bible Study to places such as Livingstone, CCE, Africa, Box and Sir. Pinto
hostel. The crowning of the exploits accomplished in the kingdom of God by
these formerly baby Christians was a mission to Rwanda under “Caring Mission Ministry” where they
were preaching the gospel in Churches, Schools and Universities. There was no
better foundation for these women of God than the foundation prescribed in the Bible, "And are built upon the FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20).
Once the apostolic foundation was established in their lives, they stopped
living in the realm of defeat and entered into the realm of victory. They are
now no longer fearful but are bold ministers who know their authority in Christ
and are excelling in life.
The Bible Study
later continued in Livingstone hall for the space of one year and expanded to
include many other individuals majorly form Africa and Livingstone halls though
visitors from Akamwesi and Kasamba hostels were present. All the former members
of the Bible Study apart from the current Mama, Jacque Nampeera have completed
campus and are living victoriously in the field. A monthly meeting for the
former campus Bible study members exists and the venue rotates among various
individual's homes or places of residence. The last meeting was held on
Saturday 10th September in Grand Hostel with the next slated for Saturday 8th
October in Sir. Pinto Girl's Hostel room BF12 at exactly 5pm. This ministry is
very dynamic and caters for individuals in all capacities, whether in the field
or on campus. I believe that the process of discipleship does not unexpectedly
end when one finishes campus and starts working or investing. God desires for
you to enjoy continued sonship or daughtership whether you are on or off
campus. Remember the word that Paul spoke to his son Timothy, "Unto Timothy, my own SON IN THE
FAITH: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our
Lord" (1 Timothy 1:2), "For
this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in
the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ,
as I teach every where in every church" (1 Corinthians 4:17).
God spoke to me
specifically about establishing a Bible Study ministry in Box and He gave me
the purpose for it. This what the Lord said, "Raise up God's daughters who will leave footprints in the sands
of time. Take them from milk to meat." That is exactly what He said
and I believe that none of the words which God speaks shall return to Him void,
but they shall accomplish the exact purpose for which He sent them, "So shall my word be that goeth forth
out of my mouth: it shall NOT return unto me VOID, but it shall ACCOMPLISH that
which I please, and it shall PROSPER in the thing whereto I sent it"
(Isaiah 55:11). Whether it is God's written or spoken word, it shall surely be
fulfilled and prosper in the specific assignment for which it was sent. God
desires to take you as an individual into the fullness of your inheritance,
which means that you will have to graduate from milk to meat, "For when for the time ye ought to be
teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles
of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of
strong meat" (Hebrews 5:12). God expects you to be a teacher by this
time in your spiritual walk and as we join hands in this Bible Study ministry,
I know God will lift you up and take you to the next level of glory through His
Spirit. The spiritual famine in your life can only be filled with the spiritual
meat of God's word. You have lived on milk long enough, you are too old to be
seen on your mother's breast, grow up! "For
every one that useth milk is unskillfull in the word of righteousness: for he
is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those
who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and
evil" (Hebrews 5:13-14). As long as you remain on milk you are still a
baby, but when your teeth develop to start grinding the meat, then you know
that you have matured. Through the
apostolic anointing I believe that every yoke of “unskillfullness in the word
of righteousness” shall be destroyed from off your life. It is now your time to
step out into the liberty and victory that rightly belongs to you. God has
given me that specific mandate to equip you so that you may make a lasting
impact in the Kingdom of God while you are still on this earth. You do not need
to wait till you reach heaven before you can work exploits for God, it is
simply when you come to know Him through the Word that you can step out to make
footprints in the sands of time and
leave a mark which can not be erased, "...but
the people that do KNOW THEIR GOD shall be strong, and DO EXPLOITS"
(Daniel 11:32). When revelation from the Word of God shall illuminate your
spiritual eyes, you will become unstoppable and shall take your part in the
inheritance that God has prepared for you. The knowledge and revelation that
you shall receive through this ministry will not just stop at theoretical
musings from a grey-haired professor who just transfers notes from his book to
yours but rather we are going to do exploits for God with this revelation both
in Box and beyond. Those who are blessed are not just the hearers of the word
but the doers, so if you are expecting to stretch out your legs and get all
nice and cozy, you are in for a surprise. "But
whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being
not a forgetful hearer, but A DOER OF THE WORK, this man shall be BLESSED in
his deed" (James 1:25). God expects you to be a doer of the work and
that is when the blessing shall be released. Together we are going to claim our
share in Jesus' inheritance and turn this campus and the nations upside down
for Jesus. We are going on an exciting journey from failure into victory, from
fear into boldness, from slavery into liberty, from poverty into prosperity,
from sickness into health and from death into life. All you have to do now is
buckle up your seatbelt and get ready for the spiritual ride of your life!
