Message
Jesus is all in all and he is more than enough for
Christians, which is those that have given their lives unto him; they dwell in
him and him in them. They are new creatures from which old things are cast away
and they are now gracious people receiving grace upon grace from Christ.
Jn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
Jn 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for
grace.
The grace of God is God riches at Christ expense; it
is the unmerited favour of God pours upon the righteous ones in Christ Jesus
through which they do what cannot be naturally do for God. Grace of God through
Christ in our lives enables us say no to the devil; makes us pray, evangelize
and helps us to deny all forms of ungodliness and worldly lust.
This grace can be multiplied in us when we abide in
Christ and have regular and continual communion with God. Disciple when
threatened gathered together and prayed so much that the place was shaken and
great grace was bestowed upon them. The more you relate with God in
righteousness, the more the grace he pours upon you. Paul said we cannot
continue in sin and ask for the grace of God to abound, it is not possible.
Ro 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer
therein?
Furthermore, Christ is the Prince of peace and
anyone in him will have peace of mind, peace with himself, his fellow men and
also with God; such believers do not fret in times of lack and need, they only go
to God in prayers, supplication and with thanksgiving making their request known
unto God. Hannah experienced the peace of God that passeth human comprehension in
her after praying to God concerning her need from God. Make sure you have this peace
that can only be found in Christ Jesus our peaceful and gracious Lord.
Confession of the Day
I am a gracious and peaceful child of God through Jesus
Christ our saviour.
Prayer Points
Lord, as I commune with you day after day, let your grace
be multiplied in my life to live above self, Satan, sins and the world; give me
grace to follow you through and through.
