A DEEPER PLACE OF SACRIFICE: TESTED BY GOD
Genesis 22:1–2 (NKJV): “Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, ‘Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ Then He said, ‘Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.’”
Our theme scripture tells us that God tested Abraham. This test had a distinct purpose that reveals a significant lesson for believers today: many times God tests us to reveal what is already inside us.
It would appear that without such a test, the world would never have known what Abraham was truly capable of: that he possessed a depth of extraordinary faith and trust, and that locked within his spirit was the capacity to father entire nations!
The demand to lay Isaac on the altar was not aimed at depriving Abraham, but at breaking open the shell of human limitations so that the eternal assignment resting inside him could be unveiled to history.
Many men and women are walking this life carrying immense talents and extraordinary graces, yet their true capacity remains completely hidden from their generation. This is because some have never encountered this dimension of testing, while others, when brought to this point, failed the test because they were far too attached to what God asked them to surrender.
Understand this principle: the world may never know what God has put in you until you take what you love most, put it in the place God chooses, and there sacrifice it as instructed by God.
When you yield your most cherished blessings to God’s altar, you prove that nothing competes with His sovereignty in your heart. In that moment of complete surrender, every dormant grace within you is unshackled, and your true spiritual magnitude is revealed to your world! Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Genesis 22:12; Hebrews 11:17–19
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I thank You for this Word. It liberates me to know that there is nothing that I cannot give up for You. Today, I bring my heart and what I cherish most to Your altar. I yield every desire, dream, and promise into Your hands. Use them Lord, in Your Name and for Your glory. Amen.

You are in covenant with God. You cannot enter into the blessing of God by observing the principles and fallen wisdom of men outside the covenant.
Begin from what God made you to be: in Christ, you are already prosperous, you are the head not the tail, nations are blessed because of you.

The anointing upon your life must produce value. Build trust by solving problems not simply identifying them. Produce practical solutions for national problems.

May you get tired of seeing evil prevailing...
May you get tired of seeing God's people being disgraced!
May you carry a burden for others.

If you asked people to name exciting industries to invest in, agriculture and food production might not be the first answers you hear. I think that deserves a closer look.
Think about the food on your table. Before it gets to your plate, there is an entire chain of activity involving production, people, infrastructure, logistics and investment.
Agriculture, food production and manufacturing may not always attract the same attention as some of the more 'fashionable' sectors, but they present real opportunities for enterprise, innovation and value creation.
My recent visit to our chicken farm in Luzira has had me thinking about this differently. There is so much that goes into building a business around something as familiar as food production. It requires understanding the industry, getting the operations right and appreciating the many moving parts that make the final product possible.
I am increasingly interested in businesses that address everyday needs and the opportunities that exist in building within these sectors.
What industries do you think we overlook when talking about entrepreneurship and investment opportunities in Uganda?
