God is able to keep you from falling

Gal. 5:1 - 'Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us

free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.'

Jude 1:24 - 'Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present

you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, '

 

The power to change comes from accepting Christ and who he is in your life. So, why go back? Why do people go back to the way they where before they changed? If you are a new creature, what makes a new creature revert back to the old creature they were before they changed? Well, it's because there are things that are in your path that remind you of the old man. There are paths that the enemy presents to you that will lead to your old ways. It's simple. If you were a drug user before you accepted Christ, then there will be paths that will lead to drugs. There is no need of you trying to test yourself to see if you can witness to drug users after you have changed! Be wise! Avoid drugs users, drug dealers, drug houses, etc. until you are come into the fulness of Christ in your life. Even though you are a new creature, your mind can still be affected by your environment. That's why we must put on the whole armor of God to resist the fiery darts of the enemy! But you have to be smart and know when it's something that you should not do or a place you should not go because you are still growing past those old areas of bondage in your life.

 

 

People always ask me about the demons that I have dealt with in people. I have dealt with many demonic spirits in people, but I tell you this. There is a sure fire way to perform a self deliverance with no one else around. You have more power over the demonic presence that may be in you than in another person. If you are battling demonic spirits, just deny them access! Read Galatians 5:19 and see if there are any demons present. Then, rebuke them and command that they come under your authority as a believer. But the key is, you must then deny them access to you! You must stop doing the evil that you have been practicing and you will be delivered. It's not about falling down and getting up. Every time you do that, the bible says you add 7 times the demonic influence in your life. Stop singing that gay anthem! A saint is more than just a sinner who fell down and got up. A saint does not have to fall according to the bible. The word says that God can keep you from falling! So, let's believe that we don't have to fall or be oppressed by demonic influences in our lives. We do not have to be entangled again in that old yoke of bondage! Whom the son has set free is free INDEED!

YOU FOOL

READ: Luke 12:16-21

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” —Psalm 14:1

It seems to me rather contradictory that Jesus, who was so gentle at times (Matt. 19:13-15), would call some people fools. Yet, as recorded in the Gospels a number of times, our Lord used this derogatory term to describe those He spoke about—especially the Pharisees (see Matt. 23:17-19; Luke 11:39-40).

Jesus also used the word fool in a parable after warning a man about coveting (Luke 12:13-21). What made him foolish is not the fact that he built bigger barns to store his abundant harvest (vv.16-18). It would have been more foolish of him to leave it out in the fields where inclement weather would spoil it. Nor was he foolish because of his thought that this unexpected windfall was enough to last him a long time (v.19). After all, we are urged to follow the example of the ant in “storing up” the harvest (Prov. 6:6-8).

What made the man foolish? He left God out of the picture. He was called a fool because he failed to realize that his life was in God’s hands. While he was planning carefully for his comfortable life on earth, he failed to plan for eternity and store up treasures in heaven (Matt. 6:20).

Does your plan for the future have God in it? You won’t want to be called foolish by Him in the end. —C. P. Hia

Oh, why not turn while yet you may;
Too late, it soon will be—
A glorious life you may possess
Throughout eternity. —Anon.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. —Jim Elliot

Day 1: Thursday, Women's Day.
I am chatting with my friends about a potential trip to the island and it hits me, i can actually go. Time check, its 11:00 A.M, the Ferry leaves Ebb at 2:00PM. By the time i am thru packing, its 12:30, I leave home 12:45PM grab a boda boda up to Ebb despite not knowing the directions, at 01:57PM, i am aboard MV Kalangala and wow...i made it.

I meet one of my primary buddies, now a Doc with Kisoro Hosp, https://www.facebook.com/muhairwe.ninsiima. what a small word

Arrival at Ssese Island, came with a mindset to go to Mirembe Resort according to what i had checked on the net, i meet a lady with a placard of the same, came to learn later, she's called Irene.https://www.facebook.com/aber.irene

I meet a Briton, Paul Snow who was on tour of Africa, he is a network IT person, passionate about traveling, he tells me he has been to Asia, Europe, etc. He is a supporter of QPR, he's born in the town anyway. His next stop, Rwanda. He is not a believer and surprisingly he knows almost about all religions and beliefs.

Bedtime, i want to experience how the tent feels...i duck in. exciting.

Day 2: Friday
I am up at 4:00Am, listening to an Audio by Ps Oyodepo on Leadership all the way to the morning birds. Take time off to read the word by the lake...

Afternoon, its time to check out the town...i meet Mugisha one of the staff at Mirembe Resort and off we go thru the thicket and thru different beaches up to the main road. Boy you have never seen potential...Kalangala is the next big thing in real estate. Complete with Banks, Hosp, schools, etc and town plots go for as low as Ugx 2m. Unbelievable.

Never mind, i continue with my saving talk with Mr Paul, its his last night at the resort, perhaps i will just keep praying for him to see the light.

Day 3: Saturday
I am pleased  to be in the company of Dr. John Kaboggoza, the proprietor of Mirembe Resort who takes us on a tour of kalangala beyond the beaches and the town. Off we go to Bwendero and Nakatiba landing sites, beautiful scenery, mobile money and fishing are great biz opportunities here...sad stories of HIV dampen the mood.

BIDCO
We make a stop at BIDCO after meeting various trucks harvesting palm, the officers are off being a weekend and the Security wont burge to let us in, we match on.

Poverty is still rampant despite the plantations and the factory. workers are paid Ugx 2,000/= per day after hard labour. Any lunch provided is deducted from the pay (sometimes i wonder why we have a government)

Nakatiba and Bwendo landing sites
At Nakatiba, we meet Ms. Gertrude Nabukera Luvule, she owns and runs over 100 fishing boats, it has been her business for over 10 years. she's a queen. various medals of inspiring young ones decorate her house.

Afternoon and Evening is my time to swim in the beautiful lake, so peaceful, the beach gently sloping into the lake but deep as you go further.

Day 4: Sunday
I wake up a bit late for church, never the less, its a beautiful day, its supposed to be my last day at the Island should the new ferry come. It doesn't. I want to try out another hotel, Ssehab (Ssese Habitat Resort) but i kind of feel the attachment i have had with the staff of Mirembe and i decide to stay, after all its the last night.

Campfire at night with the Proprietor.
There is beach land for sale, 25M at the lake but it has to be bought at once. i.e 8 Acres=Ugx 200M. But man, its worth it and more.

Day 5: Monday
Wake up to a quick breakfast, off we go to the ferry..time check 8:00Am and we set off, 11:30PM, we are at Ebb landing site...

Last mention:
Great customer care at Mirembe resort, had a great time...thanks to Irene, Mugisha, Deborah, Winnie, Susan, Dr Kaboggoza, etc.

Thanks you made my Holiday, see you again.

Elle Lanches Elle Capital Fund

ELLE CAPITAL FUND (ECF)

“An opportunity to invest”

Over the years, a number of people have approached us asking how they can partner with Elle Limited and earn an income or more still, ‘invest’ as most like to put it.

This has led to the development of a performance fund under the Elle Capital brand; Elle Limited invests in a broad mix of both risky and risk-free assets and businesses, notably, Elle Credit and Real Estate.

The fund is based on the SACCO model and yet bears characteristics of a bond/treasury bond. Shares are bought and sold, except that whereas SACCOs are to facilitate loans to members, the fund does not give loans to members, a onetime membership fee of Ugx 50,000/= is paid at the beginning from whence one can buy and sell shares at will. The sale of shares however requires a notice of two weeks and the investor forfeits the interest accumulated on the shares within the six months window.

The shares attract a dividend/return of 30% per annum (250/=per month) paid every six months (i.e. 15% << 1,500/=>> every six months). This is quite unique to the share stocks at the exchange which attract uncertain dividends at the end of the year and fractuate in value this is good for planning since the amount is known and the time of payments is known.

Each share is priced at Ugx 10,000/= for easy divisibility and ownership. Anyone can own a share.

Requirements:

Fill an application form; attach a passport photo and copy of ID (passport, Driver’s license, Voter’s Card, National ID and University/School ID)

Pay membership fee into the bank and money worth the shares you want to purchase and you will be issued a redeemable share certificate at the Elle Limited office.

Investors must be 18yrs of age and above.

Computation of interest on shares:

If one buys a share in September, the interest accrued will be only for Oct, Nov and Dec (within the six months window) which is Ugx 250*3=750/= per each share of 10,000/=

You can use your interest to purchase more shares.
