Memorise: But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus
Christ. To him be glory both now and forever: Amen 2nd
Peter 3:18
Read: Titus 2:15, 15 These things speak,
and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Bible in one year: Judges 6:36-8:28, Job 40:15-41:4
It is the responsibility of every
Christian to grow spiritually. It is not enough for us to allow our spiritual
growth to be at the expense of the pastors, or the number of church programmes
we attend. There is a need to be personally committed to your growth. The
capacity for growth is within the grace and knowledge which has been given to us by Jesus Christ. The fact that Jesus became a sacrifice for us is enough to motivate us to grow daily. The excruciating pain He went through on the cross for our salvation is an expression of the height of love which the Father has for us. Each time we put this in remembrance, it should condition us to do only those things which are pleasing and acceptable to God. Many people today have abused the grace of God; they have become so familiar with the ways and acts of God. The fact that we do not see fire fall like the days of old, or the fact that we do not see the manifestation of instant judgement like when the ground opened and swallowed those leaving in rebellion to God’s authority, does not mean God has gone on vocation. It only means that many people have frustrated the grace of God in their lives and have totally stopped growing spiritually.

Believers must collectively ask
for the spirit of prompt obedience to the instructions and commandments of God.
There is great grace in the covenant and if you don’t take the grace of God for
granted, you will enjoy every provision accessible in it. The moment the grace
of God leaves a person, it is disgrace that takes over. This we can confirm
through the experience of King Saul and David.
Believers should not toy with sin
because the devil is out searching for that one moment of carelessness. We need
to always be on guard and use the grace of God to dislodge the devil and his
agents. It is the grace of God that helps us to justify our calling as children
of God. There is nothing unique about us, it only pleased the Almighty God to
count us worthy to be vessels in His hands and this is what the devil is sad about.
If not for the grace of God, many of us are not qualified to be saved by
account of our past deeds, yet He chose to use us and bless us with great
talents and abilities. May the grace of God over your life continue to abound
in Jesus’ name.
Let us always remember that we
were not chosen because we were better, we were chosen because of the grace of
God. You are a product of divine grace, therefore hold unto whatever He has
promised you. You may be forgotten, but God in preparing
Prayer Point
Father, let Your grace be sufficient for me in Jesus’ name.
