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...

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
