WORD OF GRACE-Joy to the world, as the becomes our righteousness.

                   Joy to the world, as the Lord becomes our righteousness.

                                     Psalm 98, Jeremiah 23:6

The reign of Christ, brings us joy. Long before his conception, the prophecies and the circumstances that ensued his birth, brought good news to the living, the unborn and even the soon  to be departed.

But why has creation been reveling in the coming of the Missaiah?  In the word of God, we get to know that by the coming of Christ, God is making his salvation and righteousness known to the nation Israel and the entire world. The world indeed shares the benefits of the coming of Jesus.

Now no longer shall we  work to earn and  sustain our own righteousness but we have the privilege to identify ourselves with the Lord our  righteousness. Yes indeed our joy is found in knowing this!. Shalom.

Word of Grace-Listen to him

                                       Listen to him

                  Matthew17:1-7, Philippians 4:13, Romans1:17, 5:20

The transfiguration of Jesus also tells us why he is the beloved son. Moses and Elijah played a key role in the quest for redemption, but God let off these two when they met with Jesus. He was declared supreme above them all. God said listen to him for he is the one I'm well pleased.

The law and the prophet indeed gave way to liberty. Now grace and truth have become the fulfillment of the law and the numerous prophecies. All these lead us to the point where we could be saved through faith in the final works of grace and truth.

Where is our focus? On the law or the prophet? The law reveals how bankrupt we are. The prophecies gave hope of the coming of the Messiah, and grace opens up to us how we are made completely right with God. This is our new life, and our ability to live right in this life  comes from believing  that through Christ we can do all things. Let's focus on grace for it is written listen to him.  Shalom.

Word of Grace- The arm of the Lord will not fail us.

                                          The arm of the Lord will not fail us.

                                    Acts10:38, Jerem17:5-7, Isaiah 53:1-2, 63:5

 As new creation we have passed the era of self reliance. Now the spirit of God leads us as we receive daily power to function unto victory. The arm of the Lord points us to salvation.

Now we can have confidence that victory is forever assured as far as we are led by the arm of the Lord. We can not fail for our strength is found in him. Everything we do involves him and with him impossibility becomes absolutely nothing.

May God be your guide this day, in light of your belief in the truth that Jesus is Lord, which means he owns and control everything there is. He is Jesus, for he is the Saviour. And he is Christ because he is the anointed one. All those truthful premises point to the conclusion that Christ is the arm of God, and anyone who invests confidence in him will live to see glorious victory in his name. Hallelujah!

God of Grace-The just shall live by faith in Jesus.

                                        The just shall live by faith in Jesus.

                                        Eph2:10, Rom1:17, 6:10, Gal,3:11.

It's written, the just shall live by faith. This is so true because of what Christ did on the cross. Now you can receive power when you believe in Christ. This power enables us to live right with God. Jesus came for us to rely on him through the spirit to meet God's standards. Christ fulfilled the requirements to meet God's standards and he bequeathed it to us as for our inheritance.

Now we are the workmanship of God prepared unto good works. These good works we live are made possible as a result of knowing and believing that God has laid ahead good works for us to walk in them.

If we are led by dos and donts, we're bound to fall into the works of the flesh. And then fall from grace and come short of enjoying the glory of God. But when we are led by grace or the spirit we experience the works of the spirit for fruitfulness and power over sin. Hallelujah

Word of Grace- Because Jesus can empathize with us, he knows best our needs.

     Because Jesus can empathize with us, he knows best our needs.
                                                    
                                                Rom2:4,  Heb4:15
  
We have a priest who at all points tempted like we are today and yet never sinned. So he's able to understand us very well. To understand someone properly, you need to be in the person's shoes to have the feel of how it really feels like to be tempted. Jesus had been in that situation, even to the extreme. He is the only one who shares our pain, so in him, we are well understood.

Whatever Jesus gives us is in a bid to lift us up because he knows what we need so well. He knows us and wants us saved so he shows us his goodness which always leads us to repentance.

Brethren, we don't know what we need unless we're one with Christ. Knowing our needs comes from knowing Christ. As we behold him we will receive life-changing supports; blessing, strength, beauty,  riches, goodness, and mercy to shape us even to become a better person in him. Shalom.

Word of Grace-From Victory unto Victory

                                         From victory unto victory

                                 2Cor5:16, Eph1:3, 11, Col2:15, Rom8:37,

The finished work of Christ is our starting point. As we firmly lay hold on this truth, we are positioned to fight from victory unto victory. This is our transformation from glory onto glory. We have passed out from darkness into the light. Now the light which is Christ has become the life in which we walk.

The bible says we're no longer regarded according to our former ways. Our current status is now the focus. It is important we get this  because the devil always work out to discredit us and make us feel undeserved. But the moment we realize we don't deserve that's when the unmerited favour comes in to qualify before God.

Brethren the good news is that the status of Christ is our heritage forever. We stand permanently favoured in his presence. As we constantly remind ourselves of this, we are able to stand on the God-given victory ground. And that's we fight from victory unto victory. Shalom.

Word of Grace- Believe right to have it right.

                                      Believe right to have it right.

                             Rom4:13, Phili4:13, Ps121:2, Mark1:15

In the new era, God is clear about how we'd receive his promises. Especially believers who are conscious of the fact that they belong to the seed line of Abraham. Its pays to be conscious of your standing in Christ. You're able to act in line if you're conscious so let cultivate that spiritual attitude of awareness.

Now in the natural, despite your hard work, you may still require helping hand to buttress your effort. But in Christ, our self-effort and other's help don't lead. We don't need to rely on them for it's written, our help comes from the Lord. We can do nothing if the Lord does not strengthen us.

Brethren, the promise that says Abraham and his seed would be the heir of the world was through relying on God, believing rightly in him. And what's right believing? That's believing Christ concerning his finished work. No matter your issue, as you believe right, you shall have it right in Jesus' name. Amen. Shalom.
