HOLD ON TO THE GRACE OF GOD

“Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it”.
At times, we fall victims because we don’t use what God has given to us. Do you think that God is interested in your failure? Certainly not. He’s not interested in your defeat. He is interested in your victory because every time you overcome, it gives Him joy. Every time you win any battle in life, heaven rejoices. It is an advertisement regarding what the kingdom of God is all about. The scripture says, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
You don’t have any reason to fear because grace has been released in your direction. The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to everyone. He gave it to us at the time of salvation. All through the scriptures you will see grace at work. God wants us to hold on to His grace. When you are going into that exam hall; believe God that grace will see you through. When you are traveling on the highway; believe God that you will get there safe and sound. I always expect grace in my activities every day. Do you know that another word for grace is favour? God has encompassed us with favour like a shield. I attract favour anywhere I go. Whether they like you or not, they must favour you because that is how God wants it to be.
Grace will enable you pay off your debts. One idea from God can take you from a nobody to become a multimillionaire. Don’t write yourself off. Always depend on God’s grace. Don’t ever compare yourself with others. You are a different person. You are not the same with somebody else. You must always see yourself as an individual. God doesn’t have to apologize to anyone for the favour He bestows upon you. Favour is part of your entitlement and inheritance in Christ. So, go ahead and enjoy God’s Grace.
