EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder on :
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”
Matthew 7:11 NKJV
UNDER WHAT COVENANT ARE YOU?
Our enemy the devil is well aware that when you learn to receive God's grace in all areas of your life, you will begin to reign in life. So he works hard to prevent you from receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
The devil has used controversy as a means throughout the history of the Church, to prevent Christians from having access to God's most powerful truths. He has built barriers of controversy around Grace and all its benefits such as: the baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, healing, prosperity (calling them heresies) to prevent Christians from reigning over disease, poverty and sin. We can always measure the power of a truth by the number of controversies that the devil surrounds it with.
Please pay close attention to what I say. All controversies are not based on the truth of the Word of God. We must test everything in relation to what the Bible says.
Nevertheless, controversy is a tool that the devil uses to prevent God's people from accessing his divine inheritance. He is a cunning liar and a deceptive thief, so you must base what you believe on the Scriptures and test everything against them. If you want to know the truth about God's grace, study His Word yourself and find out what it says about grace and don't be influenced by the erroneous definitions that some people say are the Grace of God.
When you believe in the Gospel of Jesus, which is entirely based on His grace (His work fully accomplished), you will obtain health and an abundance of provisions. In fact, the Gospel of Jesus Christ leads to blessings, success, healing, restoration, protection, financial breakthroughs, security, peace and much more!
God does not bless you because you are good, but because HE is good. His blessing is based on His loyalty and kindness towards you. It does not depend on your performance, but on His undeserved favor.
If it depended on your work, then it would no longer be grace but law and merit. This is the difference between the old covenant of law and the new covenant of grace:
The law implies your obedience to all commandments. If you obey the commandments perfectly, you will be blessed.
Grace is an undeserved favor: Jesus has perfectly obeyed God and you will be blessed by believing in Him.
My friend, under what covenant are you today? Law or Grace? Deserved payment or undeserved favor? Who is God to you? Your Judge or Father full of love for you?
If you think that being blessed by God today depends on your actions, your ability to observe the law and your ability to make yourself righteous, I would ask you to do a study on grace in your Bible.
Reread today's Scriptures and open your heart to what they say about God and His grace towards you: God is Your heavenly Father who loves you in spite of you and has only good plans for you. He sent His Son to die for you so that you could enjoy each of HIS blessings. Today, receive His abundant grace in all areas of your life.
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
