Word of Grace-Choose to look unto Jesus
Choose to look unto Jesus
Heb 12:2, Col 1:17, Isa 61:7 1Cor15:57, 2Cor2:14
Choosing to look unto to Jesus is a conscious effort made to personalize the finished work of our Lord and saviour Jesus. In good days, choose to see Jesus and you would experience even much better days. In bad times still choose to see Jesus and you would experience the joy of the Lord which indeed is the strength of all who trusts in him.
As you look unto Jesus, you open up to receive hope. Whenever you choose to see Jesus you open up to receive victory. Jesus is the hope to the hopeless and victory to the vanquished. Whenever you look unto Jesus you place your days in his care. You are saying Lord, I can't handle the life you gave me but you oh Lord in you everything hold together, so hold my life.
Brethren, as we see Christ, no matter the situation, we'll get to the point where we'd strongly believe that there's no impossibilities in our lives, for Jesus is always in our midst empowering us to get to enjoy all the inheritance he left for us. Shalom.

Word of Grace- There's beauty ahead of your ashes.
There's beauty ahead of your ashes.
Isa 61:1-3, Rom 2:4,1Pet 1:3-9, Jere 31:3
In trials, lots of thoughts come into our minds. We turn to believe that it is our sins and that God will smile on us no more. Such thoughts rob us of our hope in Christ. But then when we fall, it doesn't end there, God's grace gets us up on our feet. We may fall but it doesn't change the fact that God loves us. God still shows us love even in our mess as his goodness leads us to repentance according to his word.
When Israel was in distress, even though Isaiah pointed out to let them know that their sins had left them in that state, he went on to say that a day of favour beckons. God is merciful and his anger doesn't last forever. His mercy would locate Israel again as they look forward to the goodness of God in their captivity.
However your situation is, there is rest for you. Be hopeful, now is the hour the Lord shall bestow on you a crown of beauty instead of ashes, instead of grief you shall be filled with oil of joy. Despair no more for you shall be clothed in songs of praise. You shall be called the tree of righteousness, planted to reveal the glorious splendor of God. Shalom!

Word Of Grace- The Power of Christ revealed in the Garden of Gethsemane Part2
The Power of Christ revealed in the Garden of Gethsemane Part2
Matt 26:51-53, 1Chro 27:1-15, Heb 12:2, Isa 37:36
The truth still remains, Jesus reigns in power and by his might all things hold together. He's great and mighty, miracle worker, with wealth and fame. But have you even thought of how powerful he could have been on that night? Jesus said, "I can call on my Father and he will send me more than 12 legions of angel to come to my aid".
According to David in 1Chronicles, one legion of army is 24000 soldiers. Now 24000 x 12 legions gives us 288000 angels. Also according to Isaiah, one angel can accounts for 185,000 people. So if we multiple 185000 by 288000 you have 53 billion and more! The world population is around 7.7Billion. These angels alone could even destroy today's world totally.
Jesus could have called for this powerful force from above to unleash fierce destruction on the entire roman army. But he chose to remained silent as he focused on the joy that was set before him. He loved us so much that he abandoned his strength for our weakness so we could live forever This is Jesus, the all powerful! Shalom.

Word Of Grace-The power of Christ revealed in the Garden of Gethsemane Part1.
The power of Christ revealed in the Garden of Gethsemane Part1.
Matthew 26:51-53, 28:17-18, 1Pet 5:8,9, Ex 15:2-4, Rev 5:5
After his resurrection, the glorious Jesus received all authority. He told his disciples, my Father has given me all authority. This tells us that, there's no power left for the devil. The bible records, the devil goes round roaring like a lion, but he's not. The real lion is the glorious Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He's the Lord of Host.
Also Jesus as a man had immense power that could have resisted his arrest on that night in the garden of Gethsemane. The 12 Legions of Angels that he talked about could over power even this world totally. But he chose to remained silent for our sake. His purpose was not to wage war but to save the world through his death. When one of the disciples tried to resist his arrest, he said if I needed any help I could have asked my Father to give me more than 12 Legions of Angels to come to my rescue.
The power of Jesus can't be denied. As we identify ourselves with him we will also be empowered. He gives us enough security. Our God is trustworthy for he is mighty in power. Shalom!

Word of Grace-Receiving the fullness of Christ
Receive the fullness of Christ
John 1:3, 16, Eph 1:23, colosians 1:16, Acts 6:8
The word of God, Jesus is the gracious redeemer! By the word everything came into being. There's absolute nothing that was created without him. He is the one who holds everything together. Through him grace and truth came so that whoever receives him shall have his life in full.
God wants us to live gracefully. When we see Christ in every situation we experience these divine graces; grace upon grace, grace behind the grace, grace after grace, grace to grace and grace from grace. What this means is that you will experience undeserved and unmerited favours, uncommon goodness and unusual kindness when you're Christ conscious.
But I depended on the grace of God but to no avail? Brethren, God's time is the best. My joy is found in knowing that in the fullness of time, God sent his son to redeemed us from bondage. As you receive the fullness if Christ, very soon you shall experience total redemption from any bondage. Your breakthrough is just around the corner so stay faithfully in the grace. Shalom.

Word of Grace-His power is made perfect in our weakness.
His power is made perfect in our weakness.
2 Cor 12:9, Heb 4:15-16
The grace of God which is also the holy spirit, produces an empowerment in a bid to lift us up in power. We enjoy edification and transformation as we are being lifted up by the power. If there be any weakness in us, shying away from God won't solve that problem, but consenting to the Father's warm embrace in such situation transforms us, and that's what he wants for us.
Now, if we come to him just as we are, we acknowledge our feebleness and how much we need his strength. No wonder the bible says my grace is sufficient for you. And for that matter my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Grace has made it possible for you I to be welcomed in the presence of God. Surely, it is for our sake that grace and truth came. Grace understands us and is able to sympathize and empathize with us. Brethren, as we consent to the gracious love of God, we would obtain mercy for a renewed strength to get back on our feet to restart afresh in power. Shalom.

Word of Grace-Don't run away but run to God if you mess up
Don't run away but run to God if you mess up
Act 13:22, 1Sam 17:37, Luk 15:21-24, 2Tim 2:13, Rom 2:4
Running away from God when we messed up? No! The parable of the prodigal son, reveals how God the Father, always looks forward to our return. God is always faithful to us in the midst of our unfaithfulness. The state of our hearts matters a lot in our relationship with him. David had a typical heart seeks the presence of God even though he had his weaknesses.
The goodness of the Lord always lead us to change of mind. You maybe reasoning within, I don't worth the forgiveness of God because the mess is too disastrous. Whenever we conceive that thought, we are magnifying the offense above the sacrifice. But in reality the sacrifice is always greater than the offense. Our ability to return to God, confirms the truth that already we re forgiven in Christ.
I pray we receive the courage to rise up and return to God no matter our situation. God is always waiting for us with opened arms to show us even much more love in our lowest points for a better relationship with him. Shalom.
