Grace of God is the divine ability


But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ (Eph.4:7)
How wonderful this is! Each one of us has been given grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ. We have all been given grace to excel in life. The Greek word for grace is “Charis” which is the root of the English word “charisma”. “Charis” refers to the divine influence on the human spirit that reflects on the outside of a man’s life, producing favour, beauty, goodwill, loveliness, and ability. It’s the glory of God in your spirit, which reflects on the outside.
  This grace causes favour and glory to abound in your life. For example, when the Lord Jesus was a child, the Bible says he “…grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon Him” luke 2:40. Grace made Him, even as a child, to have favour with God and man Luke 2:52. In the book of Acts, Barnabas went to visit certain brethren, and the Bible says, “…when he came, and had seen the grace of god, was glad, and exhorted them all…” Acts 11: 23. What was it that Barnabas saw? It certainly   wasn’t alight beaming out of their heads. He saw the beauty of God; he saw things working out excellently in the lives of these brethren.
   The grace of God on your life is the divine ability in you to be successful in every endeavor, and you have to grow in that grace. “…grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ…” 2 Peter 3:18. Grace is the power of promotion; it’s the thing that causes your life to move from one level to another, and that’s why the scriptures admonish that you grow in grace. Every child God has been given grace in abundance Romans 5:17, but the degree to which you let it reflect is up you. The more you fill your heart with God’s word and have the Holy Spirit work in your life, the greater the grace of God that’ll be manifested in your life.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
