Scripture: “For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; …” 1 Corinthians 15:9, 10
Message: As we begin to climax the age, satanic activities will be on the increase. Everyday things are happening that we could hardly imagine that such things will be experienced in our days. I believe if there was any time we needed to walk in heavy duty anointing, it is today. So God has provided us with enough spiritual arsenals to be able to confront the powers of hell. God understands that the devil is not joking. His intention is still to steal, to kill and to destroy.
And so the scripture says, ‘Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walks about seeking who he may devour.’ That means, he is not devouring everybody. He is looking for somebody who has lowered his guard. He is looking for somebody who is not using the entire spiritual weapons that God has made available to us. There are powerful weapons which when received as revelation will enable you to navigate any challenge, no matter where it is coming from. One of such weapons is the grace of God. Without grace, we are nothing. Paul says, I am what I am by the grace of God. He remembered how he used to be a nobody, a murderer and a blasphemer, yet God reached out to him, and said, you are the one I will reveal this great and deep truth to.
TREM Daily Devotional 17 December 2018 – Grace Will Reach Out to You
That is grace at work. Beloved, without grace, Christianity means nothing. What is Grace? It is God in the race. You can’t run but God gives you power to run. God gives you preferential treatment. In other words, you are not qualified but God says I qualify you. That’s grace. If God does not ‘grace’ you, you cannot amount to anything.
