LIVING BY GRACE PART 3

LIVING BY GRACE - PART 3

This week we began a teaching series titled "Living By Grace". To walk in Grace and live by Grace is a must for every believing child of God. A man working in Grace is too endowed to be stressed by life situations. This does not mean life challenges will not come; they will for everybody according to God's word in John 16:33; but a man enjoying Grace is not stressed by them. He has God working for him. Since the beginning of the week, we have looked at so many pivotal points. Today, we will further look into the manifestations of this Grace.

What are the workings of GRACE?

7. GRACE secures access to a world of unlimited possibilities:

To a man working and living by Grace, everything works together for his good. You cannot carry God and life situations will refuse to bow. Psalms 114 :1-8 is an account of what happens when a child of God carries God. Verses 3-4 "The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs".

Everyone who enjoyed the workings of Grace in the Bible had access to these Divine possibilities. Doors are not shut to a life living with Grace. Joseph in Potiphar's house (Genesis 39), Esther (Esther 2) in the king's palace. 

Boldly declare this words "I receive Grace that makes for Greatness" Amen!

8. GRACE guarantees access to Revelation:

Ephesians 3:2-3

"If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words"

A life working with Grace is that which God reveals secrets unto. There are many mysteries in the kingdom that God will have us know and that through Grace we are empowered to know. 

The Bible says in Jeremiah 33:3 "call unto me and I will answer thee, and shew you great and mighty things which thou knowest not of".

One thing Grace does is that it unlocks for a man living with it access to Divine secrets and access to secrets means a glorious life.

9. Grace of God empowers to live a Holy life:

God's grace is sufficient to lift us from death and sin and to endow us with eternal life. It is sufficient to change us, transform us, and perfect us (1 Peter 5:10 "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you").

Grace is sufficient to enable you to fully realize your divine potential as a son or daughter of God. Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith". 

Titus 2:11-13 now summarizes it up 

"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Through Grace, we are redeemed to live a holy life.

10. GRACE guarantees access to live the Overcomer's life:

There is a life of victory through Grace. A life of seamless breakthroughs in all aspects of life. The victory is sweatless and sweet when Grace is at work.  Grace is that force by which we prevail over life situations. Grace empowers to overcome sin. It empowers to overcome the challenges of life. 2Corinthians 10:4 "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds". Grace is having God in your race and by so doing, you are guaranteed to be a conqueror over those opposing situations. Grace carriers always have and enjoy victories.

11. GRACE guarantees us access to the help of God in difficult situations:

The Bible in 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."

One of the many workings of Grace is that through it, we have access to Divine help. It must interest you to know that a person living with Grace cannot be stranded. There is always help in Zion, all you just need to do is ask the Father for it. The scripture in Hebrews above says when we come to this altar of Grace, we must do so boldly and we will have the help we need. To enjoy the Grace of God is to see and enjoy help at different areas and scopes of your life. God is our help (Psalms 121:1) and if we must be helped, we must seek to carry him.
