Last night
before I went to bed, I decided to write down something the Holy Spirit was
laying in my heart regarding Grace. I stayed quiet while listening to what the
Holy Spirit was saying and when I looked at what I was writing I was amazed
because it was so deep and filled with so much wisdom. The base of what He was teaching me was GRACE. Grace is God giving Himself to us and what the Holy
Spirit essentially wanted me to understand is that, to enjoy all that has been
freely to you by the Father in His Son Jesus Christ you must understand GRACE. Grace is given to us freely, we didn't work or earned it,God did everything through Christ Jesus and we are the beneficiaries of His saving works. Grace
is Jesus becoming all that we are that we might become like Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). In this
regard, we have to relate with every domain of life from the person and finished works of
Jesus. He became incarnate as our replacement, He died as our replacement, was buried as our replacement, was raised
from the dead as our replacement, ascended on high and is seated on the right
hand of the Father with us and as us. When it comes to the Gospel of Jesus Christ
repetition is an absolute necessity and I love that.
Never forget for once
that everything you are and will ever have, comes from the Father alone.
Acknowledge consciously always that everything you have, has been given to you
by God our Sustainer and provider. When you start thinking that the things you
have are as a result of something you did, you are setting yourself up for
dissatisfaction. When you walk believing that you eat because you work or you have
certain things because you earned them, you will always want more and never
feeling satisfied. The Bible says we have all things in Christ Jesus, I believe
it is totally literal and not metaphoric. Refuse to acquaint yourself with the
thought that you can never have all things because you already do. Where Grace
is concerned, you don’t need to add anything to it and don’t look at material
possessions as the basis to define the efficacy or accuracy of Grace. Jesus
even said blessed is the one who has not seen but has believed because the
things you haven’t seen but believe you already have them will find their way
to you. Don’t fall in the trap of looking at material things to define how
blessed you are. Because God said you have it all, you have it. There are times
when we feel the things we get in life is because we worked for or is because
we are good people. No way! Everything we have has been bestowed on us by Our
Ever Living Father whose love for us can never be explained in human terms to
it’s full degree. He purposed in Himself all that we are in Him and He made a
conscious decision delightfully to guide our lives and direct our paths, His
ways are perfect and when you trust in His love, you will never falter. When
you live life from the finished works of Christ, you will be able to celebrate
the life of God in you wonderfully. You will be thankful for everything you are
and have, and you will see your capacity and ability more in Him than in
yourself. Just like this oil, Grace is always in abundance.
You are blessed with All blessings!!!
