THE GRACE

-
Text :  2 Corinthians  13:14.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
 
 *Grace is not what we share absentmindedly after a meeting, Grace is Jesus Christ, and without personal relationship with Him, you are not graced.* 

The only one that is full of Grace is Jesus Christ. John 1:14 says  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) *full of grace and truth.* 

Verse 16 of the same chapter, made us to know that we received our grace from the fulness of His grace. 
 _And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace._ John  1:16.

So it's clear that without Jesus, you are graceless.

Grace is the basis for the Christian faith. *For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:* Ephesians  2:8.

God's grace is usually defined as undeserved favor. Grace cannot be earned; it is something that is freely given but can only be received through Jesus Christ.

If you have Jesus, then you have access to the grace He brings. May we continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18.

Bible  Reading:

John 1:11-18.

PRAYER FOCUS

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

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.

LET GO, AND LET GOD

Text : Exodus 2:3. But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus container, coated it with asph and pitch, placed the child in it, and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.   Ecclesiastes 3:1 says  "There is a season for everything, and a time for every event under heaven" There's a time to hold tight to what you have, and there's a time to let go. Having a good understanding of this timing is great wisdom. For three months, Jochebed hid her son from the mouth of the fowlers,(killers) but when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. Exodus 2:3. You must know when to let go of that thing or person you love so dearly if holding on to them will cost you more than you can afford. Jochebed knew she had to let go of her son Moses, to let God do what only He can do. At tim
