MEGA GRACE IS YOUR PORTION V
EPHESIANS 1:1-12
Grace is available to you in mega loads. None can claim lack of grace. If you check the Pauline epistles and the others, you will find that the New Testament is all about grace. The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is on the platter of grace. His death and resurrection released enormous grace upon those who would believe. Today we operate by grace and we hope in grace.
Beloved, it is high time you worked and walked with grace. Grace is the secret button for mega breakthrough. But a lot of believers still live like mediocre. They struggle without results because they are not partaking of the grace that is available to them!
As emphasized in the last reading, the first step is to ask God to enable you discover the available grace. When you discover that area where you operate easily and best compared to other areas, that is your grace point. Remember grace itself can be defined as divine enablement to shine where others are dull. It is a capacity enabler. When you receive grace in a particular area, your results are maximized. Grace also enables you to shine in spite of obvious weakness or opposition of the flesh. Remember Paul? He had an affliction in his flesh. He prayed for healing but God did not heal him. All God told him was that his grace was sufficient for him. With that sufficient grace, he put the affliction aside and faced his task and excelled at it.
You must face your task irrespective of obstacles and/or opposition. Or even your own weakness. Keep at what you set your mind to do. Be a single minded pursuer of your goals. Paul the Apostle said “I labored more”. This means diligence is required in addition to grace. We dare say that diligence plus grace equals mega achievements. That diligence will involve prayer, discipline, skills development and networking. All these when added to grace will produce enormously. But when they are lacking, grace becomes frustrated. The same applies when you add a sinful life to Grace. We cannot continue in sin and ask that Grace should continue.
MEDITATION: Galatians 2:21. I shall not frustrate the grace of God.
PRAYER: Help me O Lord that my choices and decisions will always align with your will and counsel.
