WORD OF GRACE-Pursue the needful

Luke10:38-41, Romans10;17

This era, when situations seem abnormal and unfriendly, what exactly should we care for? At this point, we need something that can not be taken away from us and that's the word of God. Worrying has the tendency to stop us from believing but faith for liberation comes by the word of Christ which is the needful. When we're worried we deny ourselves of the reality of the finished work of Christ in our lives which can only be attained under the influence of "right believing" which is faith in Christ.

We understood by Jesus that the needful is the word of God which is himself. When we feed on him first we receive faith to remain calm even in the midst of storms.  So Jesus commended her for feeding on the word as the woman listened to him at his feat.

Brethren, how we see Jesus matters a lot. Do you see him as someone who is tired and hungry? Or someone who's so glorious, ready to minister to meet all your needs? In this time of fear and uncertainty, we ought to pursue the needful for when we feed on the word we become full of faith and eventually fearless. Shalom.

WORD OF GRACE-Not even an inch, if your presence don't go with us.

Exd 33:15-16, Heb 4:10, Gal 3:2

How far can you run or hide. The ends of the world is finite but there is a place right beside you which is an infinite hideout perfect for your protection. His presence is as a divine hedge around you. Moses said, Lord without your presence we can't go. Moses knew the presence of God meant God's backing and approval. That request changed everything. They virtually relied on God for survival.

Life blessed based on self effort, same is responsible for ensuring it sustainability. But life blessed based upon his finished work, God takes the responsibility which is already met in Christ.

For us to remain at the top we've to remain in Christ. Whoever remains in Christ, practices his presence. Whoever practices his presence, by faith seizes from his own works. He enjoys good works while God takes the glory. Hallelujah!

WORD OF GRACE-Authority to function

Gen1:26, Ps8:6-8, Tim1:7.

Right from the start, It had always been God's will to clothes man with power and right to rule dominantly over all the earth. God designed us in such a way to function with authority without having to wonder in fear. Glory be to God who has given us spirit of love and power and of sound mind. These divine gifts authorize us to function to perfection.

The good news for you and I is that, though we were once lost and rendered unauthorized, now his only son has been presented to searched us out so we could be found in him.

Brethren, may your joy be found in knowing the truth; having been brought back to our former state in Christ, by default we are authorized to dominate our world once again. Shalom.

WORD OF GRACE-The ruins shall come to live

Ezekiel37:2-5, Nehemiah 8:10

In the face of uncertainties, sickness, death, dearth, pain, lost. I mean in hard times where do you seek refuge? Is there any promise of hope that you can cling onto? Is there any mercyseat that your soul can soar upon? When the world seems to turn against you, how would you walk through such hell? We need strength to walk pass all these fire.

All the above point one to a total ruins. It takes only God to bring the ruins back to live. Can these dry bones obtain life? Only God knows how but the answer is yes. But it takes our faith and trust and our positive confession of Christ for the dead things in our lives to resurrect.

Brethren, all that I want us to understand is God is the only one who can give us strength to walk through hard times without causing harm to us. It's mine prayer that any tough times you are in right now, you will find strength and refuge in his presence and in his promise to endure till he brings the ruins back to live. Shalom!

WORD OF GRACE-Alarmed? Seek the face of the Lord

2Chronicels 20:1-15, Proverbs 3:25-26

What do we do when all of a sudden we receive bad report? When something that you have been waiting for turns out to alarm you? Well God always shows us the right way to react in sudden crises. And that's don't be afraid only believe and find confidence in him.

Dont fear any sudden terror for the Lord is your confidence. Praise God in the face of trouble for it's a sign of faith and total trust. Jehosaphat praised God even in these state with the convenant of God in mind. He said oh Lord our eyes are on you in our distress

God relayed his assurance to Jahaziel for the people of Israel, saying, do not be afraid nor be discouraged because of this crises. For the battle belong to God. Stand firm in him and you will see the salvation of God. Shalom.

WORDS OF GRACE-Believe that God is well pleased in you

Heb 11:6, Matt3:17, Luk9:34-35

We believe and so we are convinced God loves us. When we believe in his love we are positioned to possess it.The Bible says without faith it's impossible to please God. Just as Jesus pleased God and he declared his love for him on serveral occasions, even so he is pleased with us through Christ himself.

Through Christ, God constantly declares his love for us so be convinced of his loves. Just take a look, God sacrificed him, the only son whom he chose over Moses and Elijah, to undo our sins. He allowed him to be crushed for our sake. His love for us is indeed limitless.

The love of God is real and it's exist independent of our beliefs. We rather do ourselves a lot of good when we believe what God has in store for us. We put ourselves in fine position to access this wonderful love. Shalom.

WORD OF GRACE-Grace edifies and fortifies us

Eph4:29, Joh4:18

When you are stuck in between victory and defeat, speak words of grace to the situation. Grace produces that enablement needed to boost your hope in Christ for every anticipated Victory.

Whatever proceed out of your mouth, suggest whether you are poised for victory or not. Any talk that dose not seek our edification is unwholesome and must not be encouraged. In other words in times of hardship what you and I need is words of edification and fortification and that's is the grace of God.

In times of uncertainty, we can still be positive minded. Mindful of his perfect love for us even in the midst of crises. For this we will have no fear but instead be in good position, knowing that Christ is in us, and to that effect we can confidently expect the glorious glory of God. Hallelujah!
