The grace of God

Paul the writer also received the revelation of grace.
Once known as Saul, a well-known persecutor to Christians, met our Lord on the road to Damascus and had a total life transformation.
 
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" - Eph. 2:8

Grace carries the power of God to set us free.
Grace is God's transforming power.
Paul personally experienced God's grace.

Grace is God's attitude towards us and Faith is our attitude towards God!
Grace is the attitude which God provides Salvation - Faith is how we obtain it.
Grace brings healing, deliverance and peace of mind.


"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." - Gen. 1:26
 
God creates man in His own image & likeness - like no other creation 
 
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. - Gen. 2:7
 
All other creation came as a result of God's spoken word but man had something else...
God forms man out of the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life.
Man had the breath of God - the personal & intimate contact with God.
God invested into man personally.

It's the communion with God that gives man dominion on other creation.

Grace has the power to sanctify and purify the condemned soul.
It has the ability to cleanse even the guilty conscience.
Grace penetrates the spirit, soul and body of man.

Grace grants us the ability to enjoy forgiveness & restoration to communion with God.
Grace takes us from shame to honour.

Grace gives Salvation three components : 
1. Justification - Forgiveness of sin, revocation of curse and right standing with God!
2. Sanctification - set apart from the world and kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light and the ability to be "holy". 
The process of becoming like Christ! 
Sanctification has power to make us 'saints'.
3. Glorification - in two parts (a) in our spirit (b) for our eternity.

Grace strengthen us and produce perseverance and endurance.

Grace is not only a miracle worker but it is a comfort, strength and perseverance when miracles are delayed!

Knowledge - Understanding and Wisdom

God uses these three words together very often as He communicates with us. These three words are related. They are three important things for progressing in life. I have put these three words in order of process.
Knowledge always comes first, then understanding and finally wisdom.

• Knowledge means information

• Understanding means comprehension

• Wisdom means application

First you get information, but it won't benefit you until you understand it. Once you understand it then you can apply it.

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Prov. 4: 7

Wisdom is the principal thing, it is supreme - Wisdom is the ultimate goal in life but understanding is important.

Understanding destroys frustration! 

Its possible to hear information but not understand! That is why Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches the knowledge of God. He helps us to understand that knowledge. He empowers us to apply what we have understood.
Our responsibility as disciples is to be interested and to make time...A lack of interest causes us to remain ignorant.
When we are interested, we will be revealed all the secrets.

Jesus told His disciples:

"To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted."

 Matthew 13:11

Disciples means students. Students makes time and investments. We are all called to be disciples and make disciples of all nations. Disciples are committed. A disciples' interest level are different, they are higher.
Your interest determines (the subject &) the level of information you will receive!  God cannot tell us things that we don't want to know.

Jesus also said:

"When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road."

Matthew 13:19

We need to understand the WORD in order to apply and live successfully!

Confession of faith for a blessed family

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:21 The tongue is a very powerful instrument that can either manifest blessings from heaven or bring curses including failures into your life. Your tongue is the best tool to use in order to bring about changes and transformations in your life and circumstances. Boldly, sincerely and faithfully make the following confessions daily and see the promises of God manifest in your life. You will never be the same again through faith in the Word of God! Godly Parenting Boldly declare in faith: "In the name of Jesus, I declare that as I increase in the knowledge of God, I raise my children according to His will. They walk worthy of the Lord and His calling on their lives. They live lives that are pleasing to Him and are fruitful in every good work. (Colossians 1:9-10). In the name of Jesus, the favor of God causes my family to increase more and more (Psalm 115:14). In the name of Jesus, I declare that I have the wisdom, ability and strength to raise my children in the fear and admonition of the Lord (Acts 1:8, AMP). Through the leadership of the Holy Spirit, I will teach and impress the Word of God diligently on their minds and hearts (Deuteronomy 6:7, AMP). I will live a life before my children that brings glory and honor to God. I cast all my cares concerning my children on God, because He cares for me (1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 55:22). I am sensitive to the anointing that is on my children (Leviticus 7:36). In the name of Jesus, I bind the hand of the enemy in any way that he comes to kill, steal or destroy in the lives of my children (Matthew 18:18; John 10:10).  I loose the angels of God to go forth now to guard and protect my children (Psalm 34:7). For Husbands Boldly declare in faith: In the name of Jesus, I declare that I am a man of God. I am righteous, godly, faithful, loving, patient and meek (1 Timothy 6:11). I know God's perfect will for my life, and I walk worthy of the Lord and His calling on my life. I please Him, and I am fruitful in every good work (Colossians 1:9-10). I know that God prospers and provides for me; therefore, I am able to provide for my household (1 Timothy 5:8). I honor God by honoring my family. I am the head of my home, and I lead it by example with godliness and temperance (Ephesians 5:23; 1 Peter 1:5-6). I choose to love my wife as Christ loves the church by giving her first place and consideration in all that I do. I avoid anger, bitterness and strife at all costs (Ephesians 5:25; Colossians 3:19). I give my wife the honor, respect, goodwill and kindness that are due her (1 Corinthians 7:3). For Wives Boldly declare in faith: In the name of Jesus, I declare that I am a virtuous woman of God. I am a woman of moral excellence and strength (Proverbs 31:17, 25, AMP). I manage my household with Godly wisdom (1 Corinthians 2:16). I represent God; therefore, I dress appropriately because I am a godly woman and have self-respect. I maintain a clean and attractive appearance (1 Timothy 2:9). I submit myself wholly to my husband, for this pleases the Lord (Ephesians 5:22-24). Proverbs 18:22 says that He who finds a wife finds a good thing. In addition, he obtains favor from God.  Therefore, I declare that I am a benefit, and not a burden, to my husband. I love, honor and respect my husband and speak well of him to others. I speak kindly to my husband for his edification (Proverbs 31:26). My husband is faithful to me. He has no need to go elsewhere, because I provide everything he needs and desires (Proverbs 5:18-19).

Sevenfold blessings in considering the poor...

Ps 41: 1-3

The Word declares that there are blessings for those who consider and give to the poor.
"Bless" means empower to prosper.
God gives you His ability to get results!

Here are the blessings that God will bestow upon us when we help the needy:

1. The Lord will deliver us in time of trouble.
2. The Lord will preserve us. He will put a hedge of protection around us and He will keep us safe.
3. He will keep us alive. We will have long life.
4. We will be blessed on the earth! Another version says happy. 
5. We will not live life to the expectations of our enemies. God will not abandon us to the power of our enemies (GNB)
6. God will be our strength even in times of adversity.
7. God restore and transforms us!

Sevenfold blessings are promised to those who are interested in helping the poor and needy.
Find someone in need today and sow a seed of love and a gift of finance, food or clothes...then pray the verses above. God watches over His Word to perform (Jer.1:12)

"What you make happen for others, God makes happen for you!"
