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.

 *Bible Reading :* 

Romans 6:1-13.

 *Prayer Focus* 

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 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
