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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
