MERCY AND GRACE

Text : Heb 4:16  

 *Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.* 

Mercy and Grace are two spiritual elements that all disciples of Jesus need in order to lead a successful Christian journey in this side of eternity.

Now, these two elements are spiritual commodities which cannot be gotten on earth. *The only place you can obtain Mercy and Grace is at the throne of Grace.* To approach the throne of Grace however, you need boldness. No man has within himself this kind of boldness in approaching the throne of God except through Jesus Christ.

This is why the verse opens with "let us therefore come..... " the word 'therefore' connotes that it was referring to something previously stated. So it's important we see the verse(s) before this our text:

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Heb. 4:14-15.

So it is clear that the reason we can boldly approach the throne of Grace is :

1. We have a high Priest who have passed from earth into heavens, the man Jesus Christ.

2. This our High priest understands our estate and frame because He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

That is, *you can boldly approach the throne of Grace because you know you have an advocate there who is always pleading on your behalf.*

Also, you must always remember that *your goal for approaching the throne of Grace is to OBTAIN MERCY AND FIND GRACE, Don't leave until you have gotten the two.*

That the time of need will come is not a probability, it's a certainty. It is wisdom to rightly equip yourself before the time comes

 *The right time to prepare for a battle is before the battle comes. Run to the throne of Grace now so you can be aptly helped in time of need.* 


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, thank you for always pleading my case. 

2. Give me the wisdom to always run to the throne of Grace so I may always obtains Mercy and Grace. 


Bible Reading: Heb. 4:1-16.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
