Grace through Faith

"Grace investment" yields "profits of faith!"

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? ...Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. (James 2:14, 17).

We are saved by grace through faith. Faith is a positive response to grace and it is therefore always alongside grace. Now faith is never alone (empty words) because faith is always accompanied by "faith action" (visible evidence of it being present). However, faith actions (works) come after or are birthed by faith; they can't generate faith.

We do good works because we believe & are already established in grace, not in order to be established. If what you believe has not changed you & your actions, then you don't believe it. It is mental ascend. If you believe it, act like it! Dry bones shall live again!

Walk out of the trap! Freedom with benefits.

For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 2 Corinthians 10:12 NKJV

Comparing yourself with other people limits what God can do with your life because what God has for you is far better than what you see in others. Take a look at this...

But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. (I Corinthians 2:9‭-‬12 NKJV)

Awesome!

Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her (Luke 1:38 NKJV).

Mary chose to believe the word of God brought by the angel and it permanently changed the course of history. This is how faith in God's Word is meant to transform our lives for good and to the glory of God. Your life can change if you chose to belive the word of God much more than the circumstances or what people say about you. Since God said it, I believe it, I act on it and that settles it.

If you believe your circumstances more than God's Word (His promises based on the finished work at the cross), you have limited God. In fact, many people are offended simply because they choose to believe what people say & do to them more than God's word. Please don't limit God, the best is yet to come and it is waiting for you to agree with the Word of God.

The thought, word or promise that comes to you from God may sound ridiculously unbelievable. Like Mary, don't doubt it because it is a glimpse of what is in storage for you. Lean on Holy Spirit and He will break it down for you, that is His business... only believe and not doubt

Awesome!

Even spiritually, it's about good diet not filling the tummy (mind) with junk food

Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.(Hebrews 13:9 NKJV)

What you feed on spiritually determines your stability in life & how you walk. Grace is the food for the heart (mind) & an effective therapy for emotions, especially in this life where financial & social pressures are the order of the day. (The fight is real & ruthless). Are you stressed, anxious or always down and bit up? I strongly recommend that you check your spiritual diet & see if it agrees with the gospel truth menu. Free "walk-in" consultations with Dr Jesus are available 24/7. In-house services are provided by Holy Spirt, the Resident Consultant. Check it out!

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (I Corinthians 15:10 NKJV)

If you like, your struggles can end right here, now!

Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. (Romans 8:35‭, ‬37 AMPC)

A conqueror is one who fights and wins. More than a conqueror is one who wins without fighting. How can this be? Yes, you (more than a conqueror) do not have to fight because victory victory was obtained by the conqueror, You simply claim the victory of the conqueror; it is your victory also. How come?

What? Yes, the reason is RELATIONSHIP, more importantly a marriage relationship. In marriage, what belongs to one, also belongs to the spouse. (Those who don't understand or embrace this concept of marriage, whether married or not, will practice struggle to take advantage of their union with Christ).

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (Ephesians 5:31‭-‬32 NKJV)

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. (I Corinthians 6:17 NKJV)

Are you still fighting battles that were already won for you? Are you still anxious and fearful of an enemy who was defeated? The key to victorious living is to actively participate in your love-relationship with Christ and accept it as authentic. The love of God in Christ is our protection, provision and victory. Amen

Declaring God's work in us with rejoicing

He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing ,(Psalms 107:20‭-‬22 NKJV) -

Here is God's recipe for your healing, restoration & increase: (1) believe the Word, (2) think the Word, (3) speak the Word, (3) live the Word & (4) give thanks to God in Jesus' name. Change will come in your life effortlessly. Amen.

My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20‭-‬22 NKJV)

Yes, "heads over heels" for you in Christ. Come & join the celebrations!

The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV)-

God is "head over heels" for you in Christ Jesus. He praises you all the time because you are His beloved. What an encouragement it is in this world full of rejection & pull-down! In Christ you have someone who thinks well of you and has highest of Hope's in you. He also blessed you. It is well with you in Jesus' name

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV)

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah Our God is the God of salvation; And to God the Lord belong escapes from death. (Psalms 68:19‭-‬20 NKJV)

Don't forget to enjoy your benefits for today. It's called gratitude and joy in the Holy Spirit. Not only have you escaped death, but you will be far from fear, oppression and terror of the day. You were delivered INTO God's blessing! Awesome.

Isaiah 54:14-15 (NKJV) 14 In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. 15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.

"Trust in the Lord" is your winning card

Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither. Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord , and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord . Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. (Psalms 37:1‭-‬6 NLT)

With one card, the game is quick and over, and confusion ends. Here is summary of results from playing "Trust in the Lord " card.

1) safety, protection and prosperity even in political and economic uncertainties
2) Godly desires that take you in the right direction, meet the right people, do the right things, and make you the success story that you are, in Christ Jesus.
3) unparalleled help by Holy Spirit, who is breathlessly waiting for your "yes"
4) radiance of the glory of God in you. You are a sparkle, a glitter in the night
5) justice, not according to human understanding, but accoring to covenant.
Remember, Abimeleck was punished by God for taking Sarah, even though Abram was the one who had lied. Abimeleck paid Abram big time. The blessing is in the covenant, not necessarily behaviour.
6) it may be cloudy, but the sun does not go down in the Kingdom of God. Where the sun fails, the Son is always there for you, hallelujah!

How do I play the "trust in the Lord" card? Looking to Jesus in faith, not comparing myself with non-Christians whose success will quickly vanish, and not throwing a pity-party for myself.

You have come out stronger! Yes, it is all in the "trust" factor. Blessed week.

Access granted, buffet is served all day, everyday!

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Romans 5:1-2 NKJV)

Peace with God is the best gift ever, because it settles the worries and anxieties about the future, guarantees victory in the present, and assures that the past will not interfere with you. This is because God loves you.

This peace increases and multiplies in our hearts when we choose to focus on Jesus Christ and belive in his finished work at the cross. Faith is a positive response to what God has already provided by grace. It is not arm-twisting God to do what He is not willing to do. No, God is more than willing to help you out, which is why Christ came and the grave is empty. In fact, it's already done. Our responsibility is to trust God and receive by faith.

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.
(Romans 5:8‭-‬9 NLT)

Its relationship, not slot machines!

But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.1Corinthians 2:9-10 (NKJV)

Three things I see here,

1) what God has for you is too good to be true, but it is. So all the bad things happening in your life are not from God. He is a good, who came to give us abundant life

2) These goods things are available for free because it's by grace through faith. It takes faith & fellowship with Holy Spirit to release them into your everyday life. Faith works in three dimensions: speech, action & heart agreement

3) the good things are for those who love God out of a relationship, not those are after short-term gains. God is our Father, not a slot machine or "father Christmas"

I pray that we cultivate our love relationship with God & everything else comes as an addition, a benefit. You are blessed
