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

The Price was His Blood

After giving our life to Jesus when we sin, we confess but, time and again when we commit the same sin we grow to be guilty of it, we start hearing voices(accusing) within us and eventually we start doubting His mercy and His grace. This morning I was reading 1 John 2:1-2   "My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defence—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." - NIV His word I dare say is Impeccable. His word is true. The conditional world that we live in makes it hard for us to believe and understand that the Love of Jesus is unconditional. We surround our thoughts with questions that bring us down so bad the result is guilt. I have heard my friends say "God cannot forgive me for what I have done" talking about my friends I don't want to deny that I lived in

You can make it through

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
