GOD BUILDS IN THE BROKEN PLACES
2 Corinthians 12:9(KJV): And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
God does not discard broken things—He rebuilds them. When He is looking to establish something great, He searches for the broken, the weak, and the yielded.
The Bible is filled with stories of broken people whom God used to build His kingdom. Moses was a fugitive with a stutter, yet God made him a deliverer (Exodus 3:11). Gideon, a fearful and insecure farmer, was transformed into a courageous leader who defeated an entire army (Judges 6-8). Peter denied Jesus, but his restoration led to his powerful leadership in the early Church (Luke 22:61-62, Acts 2:14-41).
God’s pattern is clear: He takes the shattered, the rejected, and the wounded, and He builds something glorious. The world may see brokenness as weakness, but God sees it as the raw material for greatness.
When we bring our brokenness to Him, He does not simply patch us up—He rebuilds us into something new, stronger, and more glorious than before.
Jesus Himself was broken for us. His body was wounded and through that brokenness, salvation was made available to all (Isaiah 53:5).
If God’s greatest work—our redemption—came through brokenness, then we can trust that our own broken places are not the end of our story but the beginning of His masterpiece.
Are you feeling broken today? Bring your broken pieces to God. He is the master builder, and He specializes in building from the ruins.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this word. You know me better than I know myself. You are the God who makes beauty from ashes and turns graves into gardens. Thank You for taking my wounds, and weaknesses in the flesh, and rebuilding me for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has given a green light to the operationalization of the copyright management system, a program aimed at strengthening intellectual property rights and providing better protection for the creatives in the country.
For instance, if Shs. 1 million is paid by a bar, radio, or television station as a license fee to play local music, every artist will earn a percentage of that 1 million according to how many times his or her song has been
played. If it has been played 60 times, the artist will earn 60% (Shs. 600,000) out of the Shs. 1 million, and the remaining Shs. 400,000 will be shared by the rest of the artists according to the number of times their song was played.
“Many musicians, after their career maybe has gone down, some would maybe, unfortunately, fall ill, and we struggle to fundraise for them because they are not able to sing anymore. So those artists will earn forever because people are still playing their old songs, and they can even sit at home and earn instead of going on stage when they are old and can no longer be strong enough to perform; they can sit at home and remember their grand grandchildren can keep earning from this for
as long as those songs are played,” Dr. Isabirye, the principal development economist at State House, explained.
