HONOURING THE SABBATH

High above in the blue skies the sun smiled as believers from various walks of life gathered at True Vine Communion Ministries for all Nations to glorify the Alpha and Omega. Inside the holy sanctuary, Sister Tumusiime Monic under the instruction of her spiritual father Prophet Abraham Richard Bisaso, boldly took position at the pulpit and introduced the message of the day titled “Honouring the Sabbath” with reference from the book of Genesis 2:2-3, “By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating he had done.”
The preacher evenly paused a question, “Who employed God to create all creations?” No one did! God in His might and majesty, worked for six days and when it came to the seventh day (Sabbath) He reserved and blessed it; on this day the Supreme creator, created nothing. As Christians it is our duty to respect the invitation from Christ Jesus on the Sabbath; if we want to be friends with our creator-honour and respect His day. 

Nonetheless, today we have given ourselves reasons for being busy on the Sabbath hence missing the blessing God sighed onto this days; citing verse 3 “And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy…” she noted that because the day is already fortified, all we have to do is to come and pick our blessing in faith.

However, today Christians have failed to follow the Lord’s instruction and our disobedience has resulted into the many challenges and suffering that we face, which could have been avoided; let us stop being busy doing nothing on the day specially set aside to receive our deliverance, healing, transformation and listening from our Creator. 

Giving an analogy of a wedding ceremony, Sister Monic noted that when invited, we prepare ourselves before the due date to avoid inconveniences - the same way we prepare to go for weddings and parties, we should then double our efforts when it comes to honouring the Sabbath invitation from Christ. In addition to coming early to church, do not take it for granted that you have made it and it is over, prepare yourself spiritually even before you leave home-  open your heart and trust that God your creator knows you and whatever is troubling you.

Walking in the footsteps of the Apostles, the preacher referenced the book of Acts 3:1-8, “…Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts…” Sister Monic noted that it was an act of obedience that transformed the life of the crippled beggar; his coming early at the beautiful gate for such a long period of time put him in position for an early miracle right before Apostle John and Peter entered the temple that afternoon. As Christians we need to borrow a leaf from this crippled beggar’s dairy- if God set aside the Sabbath to honour his workings, how about you his creation? The preacher asserted that love for wealth, family and pleasures should not obstruct us from our salvation, emphasising that Sabbath is an invitation from Christ Jesus to us, therefore we must honour it.  Concluding the message of the day, Sister Monic advised the believers that it is not too late for change, let us begin respecting the Sabbath and see the wonderful things Christ will do in our lives!

From the wonderful teaching, Prophet Abraham Richard Bisaso took his position and from the spiritual realm; he commissioned a word of healing to the expectant congregation. As the word of God says in Psalm 107:20, “He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.” At True Vine Communion Ministries for all Nations we witnessed the scripture come to life; instant healings and deliverances were evidenced through the spoken word from the Prophet of God Abraham Richard Bisaso. 

Among whom was Mr. Dereba Nelson, who received the spoken word while at the prayer line, to him in particular the prophet sent a word as Jesus did to the centurion in the gospel of Luke 7, “Receive your healing in the name of Christ Jesus!” Every demon that had tormented the life of Mr. Nelson was brought to its knees at the mention of the name Christ Jesus. 

He later narrated that he was having chest pains and he was unable to do any push-ups but when the prophet released the power packed word, the pain disappeared instantly and he was able to do push-ups. Filled with so much excitement he exclaimed, “I can even do athousand push-ups now!”

To you brethren, your healing is encrypted in the Word; the Word is present and so close to you - that WORD IS CHRIST  JESUS. Just speak it out in faith and receive.

TESTIMONY:

 HE GAVE ME A TWENTY THOUSAND SHILLING NOTE!

Brother Mukasa Benon being the sole benefactor of his siblings after their parents passed on strived under the sun and the moon to bring food on the family table. From his birth-home, he came to Kampala City and got a job as conductor in one of the town service vehicles (taxis.) Brother Mukasa narrates that although he had this job, he could hardly find the money to manage his family; life was so unbearable to an extent that he could not pay rent and he was always in arrears. In this situation, even a 3 year old could predict what was yet to happen; his landlord came as excepted and cast him out of the house, he was renting. With nowhere to go and his property; he started seeking for shelter, from one friend’s house to another roaming from place to place like wind. Back at his parent’s home, his siblings kept on calling requesting for money for their upkeep; worry became his pillow and tears his blanket to the point that he began cursing the day he was born.

One of the brethren who congregates at True Vine Communion ministries For All Nations on seeing the condition Brother Mukasa was going through took a step of faith, just like the slave girl who testified about the prophet Elisha to Naaman (2Kings 5:2-3) advised him to come and attain his deliverance. Troubled and discouraged Brother Mukasa came to True Vine Communion Ministries for all Nations where healing and deliverance is the order of the day to those who believe. Hosea 12:13, “The lord used a prophet to bring Israel from Egypt, by a prophet he cared for him.” This scripture did come to pass in the life of Brother Mukasa when he had an encounter with Prophet Abraham Richard Bisaso.
No sooner had Brother Mukasa finished narrating his sorrowful story than the Prophet of God reached into his own pockets and picked out a Twenty Thousand Uganda Shillings (20,000ugx) note and gave it to Brother Mukasa with a prophetic exclamation “You will never cry again, I have made a way for you!” In tears, Brother Mukasa received the money; little did he know that his dawn of deliverance had come just like it did with the Israelites when God sent Prophet Moses to them.

Brother Mukasa says from the moment he received the anointed Twenty Thousand Ugandan Shilling note from Prophet Abraham Richard Bisaso, his life has been transformed tremendously. Within a fortnight he began receiving money from sources he never thought of one being an old village friend who gave him valuable money to rent a house as well as buying new household materials. That aside, he got a new boss and a new vehicle to operate in! Today he has a place of his own to shelter and he can look after his siblings without stress as inscribed in John 10:10 that, “… I have come that they may have life, and have it to full.”

Glory and honour goes back the life changer, the burden carrier Jesus Christ.
