Title: Celebrate and Acknowledge His Grace.
“And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”John 1:16-17 NKJV.
The word of God teaches us that we are saved by grace (undeserved, unmerited favour borne out of activity on the side of God). It is important to always acknowledge the grace of God upon your life.
Point of Reflection:
His word declares in Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
His word says further that we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. (Ephesians 2:10).
His word further says He is at work in us both to will and to work for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
Therefore we cannot boast because He did it all in us and through us.
In other words He provided Jesus Christ to suffer and die for us. That was an act of His grace - His favour- then He drew us to Himself- He made us to want to be saved by a working of His grace and power within us.
That is why His word says in John 12:32 NKJV "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”
By His grace we have received of the fullness of Jesus Christ, grace upon grace, overflowing grace. For the law came through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
The grace came through Him in overwhelming quantities. Nothing we will ever do will be enough to satisfy the law of God and by works of the law shall no flesh be justified before God (Galatians 2:16).
Grace says He did it all for me. He gave the sacrifice for my sin. When I believe on Jesus Christ and celebrate what He did for me and acknowledge Him as Lord of my life, I am saved. You receive from the fullness and abundance of Jesus Christ one grace after another, spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favour upon favour and heaped gift upon gift. Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire to acknowledge and celebrate God's favour and grace upon your life?
When you are ready-
Prayer of celebration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your grace upon my life in Jesus Christ. Thank you for the accomplished work of the cross. Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life. I denounce and reject every working of satan and his demons upon my life. I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now. I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life right now. Thank you Father because from the fullness and abundance of Jesus Christ I receive grace upon grace, favour upon favour, spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and heaped gift upon gift. Today I acknowledge and thank you Father for your grace upon my life. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
