Grace- The Teacher (2)

In the book of Titus 2:11-12, it is written that "the grace of God has appeared to all men teaching us to renounce ungodliness..."

In other words, God's grace has come to teach you to say NO. If He is teaching you, it therefore means at one point you could not say NO.

You couldn't say no to disappointment, sickness, failure, hurt, betrayal, denial, abuse, lack of money, pity, shame, trauma, stigma and whatever name the world called it. Everything that came your way, you accepted it as fate.

But now God's grace is daily teaching you to say NO to whatever the devil is suggesting to you. You are being trained to lay aside every weight that easily distract you and look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.

Hence, grace is teaching you to be GOD DEPENDENT.

Really it all comes down to this. Paul in Acts 17:28 Said "for In him we live and move and have our being..."

This means the "real you" can only be expressed in God.  There is a  nature, GLORY, and LIGHT that needs to shine forth from your life as a child of God.. It's only GRACE that is capable of teaching you the best and right methods.

That's why paul could tell the elders of the church in Ephesus in Acts 20:32

"And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.- Acts 20:32

How can you be taught without a curriculum, syllabus, scheme of work and lesson note?

Well, the word of grace is all in one. It is able to teach you and build you up. It's able to make you into what God wants and give you everything you need.

Have you enrolled in the school of Grace?   Professor Grace, the Holy Spirit is waiting for you. Admission is FREE(including the form).

If you have enrolled, have you been skipping classes? Do you have notes? Have you been reading/studying? Because when the exam of life comes, the Holy Spirit will stay silent (like our teachers) and see how you would apply your faith from all you have been taught.

Become a good student of Grace today and build your Spiritual CGPA!

Prayer-
Father, help me become a diligent student of Grace and be attentive to your Spirit of Grace in Jesus name. Amen
