The Household of God

Ephesians 2:19, “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God

📖 Devotional Message

The Reflection: 

Salvation does not just bring us to God; it brings us into a family. We are no longer “strangers” or isolated individuals wandering the earth. We have been built into a “household.” This means we have a place of belonging, protection, and shared life. In a household, everyone has a function and everyone is cared for. Our spiritual growth is tied to our connection with our “fellow citizens.” We are meant to live in the reality of this corporate family every day.

Practical Application: 

Reach out to a “fellow citizen” (another believer) today. Whether it’s a word of encouragement or a prayer, act as a functioning member of the household.

LUGANDA:

Eky’okufumiitiriza:

Obulokozi tebukoma ku kututuusa eri Katonda; kituleeta mu maka. Tetukyali “bagenyi” oba abantu ssekinnoomu abeetongodde abataayaaya ku nsi. Tuzimbiddwa mu “amaka.” Kino kitegeeza nti tulina ekifo eky’okubeera, obukuumi, n’obulamu bwe tugabana. Mu maka, buli muntu alina omulimu era buli muntu alabirirwa. Okukula kwaffe mu by’omwoyo kusibiddwa ku nkolagana yaffe ne “bannaffe.” Tugendereddwa okubeera mu butuufu bw’amaka gano ag’ebitongole buli lunaku.

 Okukozesa mu nkola:

Tuukirira “mutuuze munno” (omukkiriza omulala) leero. Ka kibeere kigambo kya kuzzaamu maanyi oba kusaba, kola ng’omuntu akola emirimu gy’awaka.
