GRACE TO OVERCOME!

Hebrews 4:16 TLB

So let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay there to receive His mercy and to find grace to help us in our times of need.


We cannot do God’s work with our natural strength; we do not have the abilities needed to do spiritual activities. As stated in Zechariah 4:6, it’s not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God.

What is grace then?

Grace is the favourable influence of God in renewing hearts through the application of Christ’s righteousness. Grace is much more than unmerited favour! Grace is God’s adornment of His people. It’s God’s decoration of His children, dignifying and beautifying His chosen ones when they least qualify for it.

Believers are encouraged to approach God boldly because of what our high priest Jesus Christ has done for us. He sympathizes with our weaknesses because He too was tested in every way as believers are daily tested. However, Jesus did not sin, and so we believe that by the grace bestowed upon us, we can confidently and boldly do everything that we set out to do with the help of God. Christ confirms in Philippians 4:13 that we can do anything and everything through His strength.

When God sends us on assignment, He knows and understands that there will be forces working tirelessly to limit us, condemn us, distract us, fail us, and stop us from enjoying all the benefits available to the saints of God. If, as scripture says in Ephesians 6:10-20, our fight is not with physical opponents but spiritual forces, then we need all the divine strength, grace, and wisdom needed to fight these forces.

We, therefore, need to arm ourselves with two things the enemy fears the most: the name and the word of God, according to Philippians 2:10. The grace of God gives us the boldness to discharge enemy forces and bring them to their knees, even as they confess the Lordship of Jesus.

God is ready to fight for you once you’ve called His name. When you acknowledge God’s sovereignty in persistent prayer, you begin to access grace to be, to do, and to overcome. This grace does not depend on your performance; it is a gift according to Ephesians 2:8-9. Grace reminds us of God’s unconditional love for us and motivates us to extend that same love towards others.

God is gracious in action. Grace is His goodwill and kindness shown to us through His encompassing love and unmerited favour. Grace is us receiving what mercy purchased that shields us from what we deserve.

Grace stopped Abimelech from being destroyed by God in Genesis 20:7.

Grace gave Cain a mark on the forehead in Genesis 4:13-15 to save him from being killed.

Grace stopped the adulterous woman in John 8:1-11 from being condemned and stoned.

The enemy uses condemnation to keep us from God, but God uses grace to save us. Condemnation plays on our ignorance, fear, and doubt to stop us from approaching the Father. The Father, on the other hand, grants us grace to overcome fear.

Grace gives us a clean slate, a new heart, a changed life, a new beginning, and frees us from accusation and condemnation. Wherever you are right now, grace can find you, save you, and help you to overcome.

It would no longer be grace if it is subject to human standards, according to Romans 11:6. According to 2 Chronicles 30:9, God is always gracious and will not turn His face from us if we return to Him.

God’s grace is free and extended to everyone. It takes the blame, covers shame, and makes beauty out of ugliness. Grace, grace to you!

PRAYER: Father, I declare that grace, mercy, and peace will be with me from You, Lord, in truth and love. In Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
