GRACE

And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John 1:16-17

Grace is unmerited favor; favor that you didn’t earn, and that you don’t deserve. Grace or unmerited favor came by Jesus Christ. Jesus is full of grace and truth.

Every time you come to Jesus, you receive grace and when you come again, you receive more grace. Hallelujah! No judgement, no condemnation, just grace upon grace. The Bible declares that with the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness we will reign in life by Jesus Christ.

For if by one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:17

We are living in the dispensation of grace. Consequently, when you go to God, He doesn’t judge or condemn you. Judgement is coming. However, it is not that time. God corrects you when you have sinned, but it is not the same as judgement or condemnation. What’s the difference? There is mercy.

When you get in the Lord’s presence, there is only love, peace, joy and more grace. So run to the Father, He won’t scold you, no matter what you have done. He loves you and will welcome you with open arms.

The Bible says that He gives more grace to the humble, but He resists the proud. The proud are those who won’t go to God, they think that they don’t need Him. He gives more grace to the humble, those who realize that they need God and go to Him. 

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:16

Thought of the day: God gives more grace to the humble.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace. Thank You that the more I spend time with You, the more I increase in grace, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN YOUR WORLD

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 People in the world are in darkness; they walk in ignorance to God’s Word. As a believer you can enlighten other people’s darkness; you can make them see. You are the light of the world. You are a leader with solutions. You can win souls and lead many to righteousness. You can liberate and empower others. You can lead by example and make a difference. You can distinguish yourself as the light of the world by bearing good fruit and producing good works. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 People everywhere are looking for leaders who will lead them. They are looking for the light, someone who will lead and solve problems. You can be that difference maker and change other people’s lives. When people see you, what do they see; what do they think? Are you the solution or the problem? You can be a burning ...
