| Bible Reading: Ephesians 2: 8-9, Titus 2: 11-14 Memory Verse: For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 (AMP) Apostle Paul declared, “I am what I am by the grace of God…” 1 Cor. 15:10a. I believe he must have perused through his life in retrospect and concluded that the results his life and destiny was generating was nothing short of the grace of God. He was busy persecuting the Church when Peter and the other Apostles were having a first class discipleship training with Jesus. Yet, the grace of God upon him made him an uncommon achiever above all the other disciples. He went ahead to write almost two-thirds of the New testament. The grace of God upon him was most commended from the mouth of the Apostle Peter who was before him (2 Peter 3: 14-16). Do you know? Pharaoh never probed the background of Joseph before making him Egypt’s first Prime Minister. A situation where a slave, a convict, and a non-Egyptian clung to the seat of power. That’s an uncommon achievement that can only be powered by God’s grace. Nobody remembered that Moses was a killer when the grace of God came upon him and made him a deliverer to an age long captivity of the children of Israel. The grace of God vetoed his past; and vetoed his mistakes. Friends, why brood over the mistakes of the past? There are generals of the Gospel today who were chronic sinners yesterday. Infact one of them is a father of fathers in Nigeria. Old things have passed away and all things have become new (2 Cor. 5:17). It’s a new day. A new dawn. Prepare for yourself a new wine skin. Never allow your past become a reason why God will pass you by. There is no condemnation to them who are in Christ who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Are you an armed robber, internet fraudster, gangster, womanizer, an abortionist, addicted pornographer, masturbator, gay, or lesbian? The grace of God is more than enough to save you today. Give your life to Christ and sin no more. Remember you cannot continue in sin that grace may abound (Romans 6:1). Quote: GRACE: “G + Race” = God in the Race. Prophetic Decree: The grace of God shall announce your destiny, in Jesus name. Prayer Focus 1. Thank you Lord for your amazing grace. 2. By the grace of God, I shall fulfill my prophetic destiny, in Jesus name. 3. I hold unto the grace of God for sweatless achievement in life and ministry, in Jesus name. 4. I come before the throne of God to obtain mercy to help in my time of need. 5. What others couldn’t do in my generation, the grace of God shall perfect it in my life, in Jesus name.
