GRACE ABOUNDS-2

Text: Romans 6:1 

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

Romans 5:20 (The message version) says "...Sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.

Grace is a jaw-breaker. It terminates and destroys sin and death. 

Apostle Paul therefore asked in Romans 6:1 that shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 
He responded in the negative-God forbid!

When Jesus(Grace) found the woman caught in the very act of adultery, who was about to be stoned to death, he sets her free from death. Thereafter, He said to her, "Go and sin no more!"

That's what grace sounds like: *Grace forgives extravagantly but also sets free from the power of sin, so grace grants you forgiveness and also gives you the power to live above sin.* 

Sin is not just limited to works of the flesh outlined in Galatians 5:19-21. Sin is anything and everything that is contrary to God in a man's life.

How do you think the woman Jesus sets free from death would describe grace? The grace she found has brought her  pardon, deliverance, freedom.  
Much more importantly, the grace has given her a new command: "....Sin No More"

Grace has come to destroy the power of sin which is made manifest through the law. 

Are you being held down by a sinful habit?

Are you being oppressed by the demonic operations?

Are you wearied and tired from being a continuous loser in various aspects of your life?

Are you held bound by the force of addiction?

Are you confused, stranded and perplexed?

Grave is the answer!

You can rediscover Grace in a new way today.

Simply go to God like a child approaching his father, ask Him to release His grace afresh upon you through the name of Jesus.

Romans 6:1-13.

1.) Father God, I receive the grace for continuous obedience to your will in Jesus name.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
