THE GRACE SUPERMARKET!
Grace is defined as: *God's Riches At Christ's Expense! Every man or woman has equal access to the throne of Grace. It is a THRONE known for the word, "Grace". Each time you are looking for GRACE, you should run there! That is the world's biggest "supermarket" where you can buy Grace Everyday! Grace means that all your mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame. Oh!. Run to that throne daily! Sin does not stop God's grace from flowing , but God's GRACE will stop sin from ruling. Your past reminds you of GRACE, it does not define who you are! Beauty, hard work or money without GRACE is like a hook without bait.
Grace will cause you to overtake. Grace is the motor-roller that inputs SPEED into your feet after the manner of the hind's feet. Grace means a Ruth, a nobody, from nowhere becoming a Ruth, a somebody, the grand mother of Jesus the saviour. Oh, grace, the mercy promoter and the favour rain of the throne of God. Grace, the common word with uncommon results; the unifier of the Old and the New Testament miracle God, the ladder of Joseph, the lion stopper of Daniel, the airplane of Rahab, the celebration train of David, the power motorbike of Peter.
The poison of Jezebel, the fire of Elijah, the oil of Elisha, the hidden wisdom/mystery of Paul. Oh, grace; the tornado/East wind of Pharaoh, the door opener of Esther, the demoter of Nebuchadnezzar, the comforter of Job, the fisherman of Jonah, the disgrace of Ahab, the tormenter of Nabal, the crown giver of Moses, the second chance of Samson, the peace giver of Solomon and revelator, the seven eyes of John.
Talking about how some of us had probably studied hours and some just few minutes, but had all received the same grade, Here is a story Jesus told in (mattew 20).
The owner of the vineyard hired people to work in his field and agree to pay them a certain amount. Several times during the day, he hired more workers. When it is time to pay them, they all received the same amount. When the ones who had been hired first thing in the morning begin complaining, the boss said, "Should you be angry because I am kind?" (mattew 20:15).
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Never believe the lie that your salvation comes by your works and goodness. Jesus died and rose from the grave Once And For All and now Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. God's Grace, Redemption, Love and Forgiveness all come to you when you open your heart and say, "Yes Jesus, I welcome You into my heart and life and receive You by faith for all eternity as my Lord and saviour".
God is not looking for smart people because He is the SMART ONE. Grace turns your weakness to strength! Rest in God Grace and know that all is well. Remember that loves you and wishes that your joy may be full.
Never Judge yourself or others because the church is like Noah's ark; it may sometimes appear to be sinking but if you get out if it, you will drown Refuse to quit now! Close with this poem from Charles Wesley:
Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to God alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries daily: IT IS DONE.
