THE BEAUTY OF HIS GRACE. "And now I commend you to God and to the WORD OF HIS GRACE which can BUILD YOU UP AND GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE"(Acts 20:32) Almost everybody shouts the word "GRACE GRACE", but only a few people really understand and live in grace. Grace is not just grace. NO, GRACE IS A MYSTERY THAT IS MADE KNOWN BY REVELATION. As it is written "The dispensation of GOD'S GRACE that was given to me for you. THAT IS THE MYSTERY MADE KNOWN TO ME BY REVELATION" (Ephesians 3:2,3) What actually is the meaning of the words, "THE WORD OF HIS GRACE". They are those words that reflect God's undeserved love and kindness to us IN CHRIST JESUS. They talk about what God has accomplished for us in Christ and what we have become in Christ not based on our goodness but by virtue of that one and for all sacrifice on the cross. Grace bypasses our works and goodness. Grace overlooks our weaknesses and sins. YES, OUR SINS. Grace speaks of God' s unmerited favour to us not minding our failings and imperfections. The preaching on grace is the most controversial message in human history. Many have been slandered, ferociously maligned, persecuted and killed because of this message. A message that A HOLY GOD WILL JUSTIFY AND BLESS AN UNHOLY MAN IRRESPECTIVE OF HIS EVIL WORK. That's unheard of. Thats unimaginable. "Lord, who has believed our message, And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed"(Isaiah 53:1) Now the message here is nothing but the message of grace. WHO ACTUALLY HAS BELIEVED THIS MESSAGE? Only to those to whom it has been revealed. Many oppose the word of His grace because they have not fully apprehended the message of grace by their human Spirit. It has not been revealed to them. Grace is the "ARM OF THE LORD". In other words, grace is the "POWER OF GOD" When God wants to radically change the situation of any man, he sends the word of his grace to him. As it is written "The LORD, WHO CONFIRMED THE WORD OF HIS GRACE BY ENABLING THEM TO DO POWERFUL SIGNS AND WONDERS"(Acts 14:3) God doesn't confirm everything written in the bible. There is law and grace in the bible. The law has been annulled and set aside . God doesn't confirm the word of his law. God only confirms the word of his grace . That's why there is little or no manifestation of God's power amongst us today. Our assembly is filled with people who preach law to us. And the truth is that God doesn't confirm law with miraculous signs and wonders. Do you want to see the power of God move mightily in your life? Get his word of grace, EAT AND DIGEST IT. His grace talks about the good and perfect gifts he has given us in christ Jesus. He paid the bills already for us by his sacrifice. Everything you receive from now on is free. Come on, law will never tell you that. Law demands that you make a sacrifice. It demands tithe, first fruits, seed faith, seed this ,seed that, holiness this, holiness that, wear that , dont wear that, cover hair, eat that, dont eat that, touch that , dont touch that. In fact to rely on law to get God's blessing is real bondage. As it is written "ALL WHO RELY ON THE LAW ARE UNDER A CURSE" ( Galatians 3:10) A cursed man is a man who wants to live by the law of moses to get blessings, healing and to be counted righteous by God. Are you that man? Maybe that's why everything is quite hard for you. Nothing works after the 20 years of tithing. No healing after the 40 days fast. Why? "BECAUSE THEY PURSUED IT NOT BY FAITH AS IF IT WERE BY WORKS AND THEY STUMBLED OVER THE STUMBLING BLOCK"(Roman's 9:32) When you cease from pursuing God's free gift by your human effort and goodness, you will receive it. Is that making sense? Grace is a gift that has been paid and purchased by Christ's atoning sacrifice. Nothing is ever required of you than to receive it by your SIMPLE FAITH. Again I ask , "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR MESSAGE? |
