GRACE ABOUNDS

Text: Romans 6:1 

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

Do you know that the opposite of grace is sin?

Romans 5:21 shows that grace is the opposite of sin.

It says that "...as *sin reigned* unto death, even so *grace might reign* through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord".

The scripture above makes us understand that sin reigns unto death, while grace reigns (through righteousness) unto eternal life. When sin reigns, it gives birth to death, and when grace reigns, it gives birth to eternal life.

 *Where and When grace reigns, sin cannot prosper. If grace is truly reigning in your life, then the power of sin is broken.* 

"...But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded"
(Romans 5:20; Amp).

Don't be deceived by the wrong concept snd teachings of Grace flying all around. Grace is not the icing sugar on the cake of your sin stricken life. 

It is rather the cake and the icing sugar itself. It makes the whole of your life beautiful in and out. It terminates the power of Sin.

When grace accosts a sinner, he sets him free from the bondage of Sin.

When Grace meets with an addict, the power of addiction breaks instantly.

When Grace walks into the life of a poor man, poverty turns to riches. (2 Cor. 8:9).

When Grace meets with insufficiency and lack, abundance takes over. (2Cor. 9:8).

 *Sin ceases where Grace abounds.* 

 *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 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...
