Supernatural Favor from The Lord

Romans 11: 6 AMP

“But if it is by grace [God’s unmerited favour], it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace [it would not be a gift but a reward for works].”

Here’s a question, who am I depending on? Am I depending on my own strength, wisdom and insight or am I depending on my spouse or family to get me through my predicament? Or my other and only option am I depending on the Lord Jesus Christ?

I am depending on the Lord Jesus Christ because nothing I do or my spouse or anybody I know can get me out of this predicament. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can. I am reading this verse and it states clearly that God’s unmerited (supernatural) favour is by grace. It’s a gift to me when I place my trust and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I know that it is my nature to always try and earn whatever, I don’t believe that anything is for free and I normally feel suspicious of people saying “o, it's for free.” Don’t take offence I doubt anything is for free. There is always a catch.

But as a Child of God, a Christian I am standing on this verse today that I have the Lord’s unmerited favour in my own life, even in this situation I am facing this very minute.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord my God, thank You, for today, thank You for Your grace and mercy new every day. Lord in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that I am in right standing before You because of Your Son Jesus Christ, a perfect sacrifice on the cross for my iniquities. Praise You, Lord, thank You, Lord Jesus, For always keeping me in right standing before God. I am unclean and not worthy without You Lord Jesus Christ. I know not even my best efforts are worthy of standing before You Lord, Amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward. God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other. Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’. Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her. One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it. As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’. Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl. I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today. I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
