Grace


What is grace?

Most of us would answer its the blessing that God gives us, it is the power that God pours into our hearts, its the healing that God does and we have so many other definitions for grace.

In Ephesians 3:8 we have Paul saying "Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the gentiles..."
It is very clear from this scripture that God does not give us grace to preach the gospel instead it is a grace that God is asking us to preach the Gospel.

As unworthy as we are we do not deserve to know the secrets of the kingdom but God in His infinite love chooses to reveal to us these secrets that He had hidden in Him through out, "To them God has chosen to make known among the gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" Col 1:27

This is grace that a mystery so deep and enriching was revealed to sinners whom God chose to save through His son Jesus.

We often run after blessings seeking the hand of God. I am not saying it is wrong. All I am saying is we are looking in the wrong direction all together. It is Jesus that we need to seek, Jesus in us, the Hope of Glory. It is Him that we need to seek. We need to seek His face not His hand.

When I say "Seek His face" I mean to say Ask Jesus to reveal who He is to you. Am sure when He starts doing that our life will change. No failure can pull you down, no discouragement can be so discouraging because We have found life, life in all its fullness: The hope of glory

God Bless

There are lots of questions lingering on our minds today. We ask a lot of times "How could God be pleased with me???? I am such a sinner!!!!" and there are so many poetic ways we say the same thing. It all can be summarized as "That we don't believe God is happy with us, we do not believe that He is pleased with us" Go back a few years; to when you were a child, recollect the kind of thoughts you had "Oh my I fought with my brother/sister, I think Santa Claus is not gonna give me a gift this time" or when you did something terribly wrong and your relative just made a totally unwarranted statement "This boy IS like this, what will happen to him if he grows up" in response your parents beat you black and blue instead of consoling you because their ego was hurt by that statement of your relative Here we are, thinking we are mature and grown up, still entangled in the same thought. We even start to think God is not doing anything in m...

Heart, where your treasure is

Mathew 6:19-21 “ Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” M ost of us read this passage and move ahead because we do not understand and worse draw conclusions which leave us in bondage. We end up thinking oh my God I have been laying up treasure in the wrong place. What we fail to understand is that this passage is speaking of the finished work of Jesus and we living in the finished work of Jesus. You might be wondering “How on earth is this passage speaking of the finished work of Jesus??????” Well, lets see!!!! T he primary purpose of this passage is not where we lay up the treasure instead it is Jesus' desire that we are in the right place, that our heart is in the right place. B efore we get to t...
