The glory that excels.

“And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.”    Deuteronomy 34:7(KJV) Our opening scripture describes Moses who lived under the Law. The Bible says when he was a hundred and twenty years old,  his eyesight was still good and his body was strong. But that was under the law which the Bible calls the ministration of death. And yet Moses was able to enjoy such glory, how much more glory do you think we should enjoy in the new testament? In 2 Corinthians 3:7-8 the Bible...

A better testament.

“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”   2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) The Bible lets us know in our opening scripture that we have been made able ministers of the new testament. Then the Bible says, not of the letter(law) but of the Spirit: because the letter killeth but the Spirit gives life. From the above, we see a comparison being made between the old testament and the new testament. The law was given on the day of Pentecost in...

The Calling of Grace

“I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.”  Acts 22:3(KJV) Our opening scripture is Paul's declaration about himself. He was a man that was trained by the best teacher of the law whose name was Gamaliel, but when God sent him, he was sent to preach the gospel to the Gentiles who didn't need the knowledge of the law. Also, when Jesus wanted...

Grace manifested.

 “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.”  Titus 2:11(KJV)           From our opening we see that  Jesus Christ was the grace of God in manifestation. Therefore, we see that grace is a person. In Titus 3:3-4 the Bible says, “For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,” Jesus Christ...

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”.      Ephesians 1:4 (KJV) From our opening scripture, we see that God sees us through the eyes of love. We are holy and without blame before Him in love, all because of what Jesus accomplished for us. That means that if you are born again, God does not hold your past against you. The Bible says that now that you are born again, you are holy without blame before Him in love. You may have done something...

“For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”  Ephesians 2:18 (KJV) From our opening scripture, we see that through Jesus Christ we have direct access to the Father.

Ephesians 3:11-12 says, “According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.” Therefore,  if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you now...

So God forgave your sins because He is gracious. The word grace also means goodness, it also means kindness. So grace is the kindness of God. Therefore, God's kindness...

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.” 2Corinthians 13:14(KJV) Until an individual understands the grace of God, he will not be able to walk with the Holy spirit. The word grace is from the Greek word “charis”, it means favor. So grace refers to; “the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ.” The word “grace” has been translated by many as unmerited favor, but the essence of the word is “favor”. In Ephesians 1:4-6 the Bible says, “According as he hath chosen us in him before...

Grace and Peace.

“Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.”                1 Corinthians 1:3(KJV)                          From our opening scripture you will notice that grace preceded peace because grace always precedes peace. This is because nobody will have peace of heart or peace of mind until you know that you have found favor with God. In Romans 1:7, the Bible says, “To all that be in Rome, beloved of God,...

Function by grace.

“And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.” Acts 14:26(KJV) From our opening scripture, we can learn that when you function with grace for any assignment that you are given, you will be able to fulfill it and complete it because of the grace of God. So, when you learn to function in grace, it is then you will begin fulfilling whatever God tells you to do.  Acts 15:40 says, “And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace...

Wisdom.

“And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.” Luke 2:40(KJV) Our opening scripture is talking about Jesus.

So we see that wisdom is a product of a strong spirit. So if you are going to have wisdom functioning in your life twenty four hours everyday of your life, you've got to strengthen your spirit. And you strengthen...

Live from your spirit.

“As time went on, his master's wife became infatuated with Joseph and one day said, "Sleep with me." He wouldn't do it. He said to his master's wife, … my master …. treats me as an equal. The only thing he hasn't turned over to me is you. You're his wife, after all! How could I violate his trust and sin against God?” Genesis 39:8-9(MSG) Someone may want to ask a question saying, “How are we going to live right if we don’t have the law of Moses?” The question I will like to ask here is, “How did Joseph live right?” This is because Joseph did not...

Don’t fall from grace.

 “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”  Galatians 5:4(KJV) Our opening scripture lets us know that everyone who seeks to be justified or made righteous by the law, has fallen from grace and Christ has become of no effect to Him. The Bible in Basic English translation puts Galatians 5:4 this way, “You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.”  So, any one who seeks to be justified outside of Christ...

“… For my strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9(KJV) Do you know that God’s Power is made perfect in weakness? The message of grace will make you strong if you are weak. Why? His strength is made perfect in weakness. So if you are reading this today and you are weak, I bring you good news, the message of grace will make you strong.  Some people think that the Law is what will make them strong.

Strength by grace 1.

“… let the weak say, I am strong…” Joel 3:10(KJV) Grace makes men strong. The message of grace doesn't make people weak, it makes weak people strong.  In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Bible says, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Please say out loud; “Father your grace is enough for me.” Notice that this grace is God’s grace. So that lets you know that God is the source of grace.  God...

The Power of the Spirit.

“This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”     Zachariah 4:6(KJV) The Lord is saying to us in our opening scripture that it is,  “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” In other words, the Lord is saying to us that it is not in numbers, or the number of people you know. So, stop relying on the people you know. This is because every dream that God gives to you will be impossible without His help. Secondly, the Bible...

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.” John 16:23(KJV) In our opening scripture, the Lord Jesus was talking about a day in which we will not need to ask Him for anything. That day is today. These are the days of receiving.

The Bible says in Acts 2:16-17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens...

Every man needs a Saviour.

“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, …”           Galatians 3:11(KJV) Our opening scripture lets us know that the Bible emphasises again that no man can be justified or made righteous in the sight of God by the law. This is because keeping the law ingratiates pride. This is because some persons will begin to pride in their self righteousness and think that they are better than others, feeling that they do not need a Saviour. But every man needs a Saviour. The Bible in John 8 narrates a story...

How to become righteous?

 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”  Galatians 2:16(KJV) From our opening scripture it is obvious to us that no flesh is justified in the sight of God by keeping the law. In other words, no man can be made righteous in the sight of God by keeping the law. No matter how much you keep the law, you...

Victory in Christ.

“The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”   1 Corinthians 15:56-57(KJV) From our opening scripture, we see that the sting of death is sin, this means that when people continue to live in sin, death will have an in road into their lives. Also, our opening scripture also lets us know that the strength of sin is the law. So wherever the law is preached, sin is powerful, and when the people begin to live in sin, then death has dominion. This...

Take on the yoke of Christ.

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”        Matthew 11:29(KJV) In our opening scripture, Jesus encourages us to take His yoke. Why is it important for us to be yoked with Jesus and learn of Him? It is because that is the only way we can find rest for our souls. This means that the individual that is burdened is not taking on the yoke of Christ. How do you take on the yoke of Christ? You take on the yoke of Christ by submitting to His Lordship and...

That is why people can make a new year resolution and say, “I will never do this thing again but...

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” Acts 20:32(KJV) The 'Word' in our opening scripture refers to the word 'logos' in the Greek  which refers to something said, including thoughts. So the Word of His grace refers to the doctrine of grace, the preaching of grace, the talk of grace and the utterance of grace. In other words, God's message to us is about grace. This means that if you are going to grow spiritually,...
