LIFTED BY GRACE
There is a product from heaven which money and effort cannot buy unless you are given by God. In fact, it is one of God’s most expensive products a mortal can possess. Yet, it is given freely even when you do not deserve it. It is not what you boast of as a man, but God gives it freely, even when you do not work for it, or deserve it.
This product is called GRACE. May you receive the grace of God in your life, in the name of Jesus. Grace is described as the unmerited favour of God. So, when you enjoy the grace of God in certain areas of life, you need to be careful because you did not get it by your power, might or effort. Therefore, never use what you got by grace to disgrace anyone because the ball is still rolling.
Grace and mercy are twin brothers; but are obviously different in actual sense. Grace is the opposite side of mercy in a coin called LOVE. All your achievements are just by the grace of God. Remove grace from man, what you have left is effort, which can profit little.
When grace is at work, it will look as if you are the only one who can do it better. God’s grace will give you children, houses, cars, possessions, positions; even promotions either in the house of God or in the secular society. You must see yourself as a product of grace because there are lots of people who can pray more than you do and work harder than you. There are also people who are more intelligent than you, yet they are still struggling to get to where you are.
Therefore, do not be at all careless with the Giver of grace, the Almighty God. He is the One that can raise the poor from the dunghill and place him or her on the seat of honour. He has the power to demote from a royal throne to the grass.
Nebuchadnezzar thought he had arrived by his efforts; he did not realize that it was just by the grace of God. He was reduced to nothing. Thank God that he eventually acknowledged God and mercy spoke for him. Therefore, beloved, your lifting is by His grace; do not abuse it.
MEMORIZE:
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zec 4:6
DAILY CONFESSION:
I declare today, by the power in the blood of Jesus, that 2023 will work in my favour. Help will locate me from near and far. God’s testimonies in my life shall increase.
God will frustrate every plan of the enemies concerning me and my household. He will consume my enemies in His anger. None of them shall be spared.
In this year of Uncommon Lifting, I will experience uncommon healing, uncommon breakthroughs, uncommon spiritual growth, uncommon favour of God, uncommon prosperity, and uncommon victories in Jesus name.
Every power on assignment against my breakthroughs shall be disgraced and destroyed. God, the El-Shaddai, shall fight my battles for me and consume all my enemies. God will put an end to all enemies standing in my way and in the way of my success in Jesus name.
Good news shall be a regular feature in my household in Jesus name. No weapon fashioned against me, my household, and all El-Shaddians shall prosper in Jesus name. God will protect and preserve me, my entire family, my business, and my career in Jesus name.
My going out and coming in shall be blessed today in Jesus name. Amen!
