RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
Reigning By Grace Friday, January 16th . -Pastor Chris For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17). While there’re many Christians today who are reigning in life and enjoying their glorious heritage in Christ, there’re still those who’re whining, crying, pleading and begging God for everything; toiling and failing, and this ought not to be. As seen in our opening verse, we’re not called to reign by our strength, but by grace through Jesus Christ; we’re sufficient in His sufficiency (2 Corinthians 3:5 AMP). Halleluiah! Refuse to live as a victim in life; you’re called to reign. The word “reign” in our opening verse actually means “to king.” The Greek construction is accurately rendered thus: “…they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall king in life, by one, Jesus Christ.” You’re supposed to be “kinging” in life. This is what some of us have found out; we’ve received abundance of grace, and the gift of righteousness, and as a result, we’re “kinging” in life; we’re living the life of dominion. Sadly, some people look at us and think we must be doing something strange or wrong for our lives to be so glorious; but how could something wrong produce something so excellent? We’ve only taken advantage of the superabundant grace that’s available in Christ Jesus. We’ve all been given grace in abundance: the grace of God that brings salvation—wholeness, preservation, health, peace, deliverance, safety, security, prosperity—and all the blessings in Christ Jesus, has appeared unto all men (Titus 2:11). However, the question is, “Have you received that grace?” It’s those who have “received abundance of grace” that'll reign in life. This informs why the Apostle Paul charged Timothy to take advantage of the grace of God that’s in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:1). Become grace-conscious. Grace is the overflowing of God’s ability at work in your life; it's the glory of God working in your spirit. The grace of God in your life brought about eternal life, righteousness, and oneness with the Holy Spirit. The Bible says, “…he giveth more grace…” (James 4:6); meaning that there’s grace for everything and anything; whatever God has called you to do, there’s more than enough grace for it. Therefore, live in, and by, the “grace advantage.” CONFESSION: I thank you blessed Lord, for your grace that’s at work in my spirit. Your grace has brought me eternal life, righteousness, and oneness with your Spirit. I take advantage of this grace and live victoriously today and always! Nothing is impossible with me, because my life is the story and testimony of your grace. Blessed be God! Further Study: Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. ; James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Your post says you are married and yet you block the married.
Why not minister to all or is this like the parable of the Minister's Black Veil? |

Your post says you are married and yet you block the married. Why not minister to all or is this like the parable of the Minister's Black Veil? Thank you for your observations dear Teasel....posting these materials sometimes are beyond my control. Sometimes you post one thing, moderator turns it into something else. Yours truely does not have that much time to monitor posts. Besides I'm not that good with computer works. My posts carries messages for everyone, it's all about the gospel of Jesus Christ, whether married or single, man or woman, young or old. The Parable of the Minister's black veil thing that you mentioned, I think you may need to educate me on that. |
