MERCY AND GRACE

Text : Hebrews 4:16  

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Mercy and Grace are two spiritual elements that all disciples of Jesus need in order to lead a successful Christian journey on this side of eternity.

Now, these two elements are spiritual commodities which cannot be gotten in the market. *The only place you can obtain Mercy and Grace is at the throne of Grace.* To approach the throne of Grace however, you need boldness. No man has within himself this kind of boldness in approaching the throne of God except through Jesus Christ.

This is why the verse opens with "let us therefore come..... " the word 'therefore' connotes  that it was referring to something previously stated. So it's important we see the verse(s) before our study text:

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:14-15).

So it is clear that the reason we can boldly approach the throne of Grace is because :

1.We have a high Priest who has passed from earth into heavens, the man Jesus Christ.

2.This our High priest understands our estate and frame because He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

That is,  *you can boldly approach the throne of Grace because you know you have an advocate there who is always pleading on your behalf.*

Also, you must always remember that *your goal for approaching the throne of Grace is to OBTAIN MERCY AND  FIND GRACE, Don't leave until you have gotten the two.*

That the time of need will come is not a probability,  it's a certainty. It is wisdom to rightly equip yourself before the time comes

The right time to prepare for a battle is before the battle comes. Run to the throne of Grace now so you can be aptly helped in time of need.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, thank you for always pleading my case. 

2. Father, please, give me the wisdom to always run to the throne of Grace so I may always obtain Mercy and Grace. 

*Bible Reading:*  

Hebrew. 4:1-16.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
