STAY STRENGTHENED BY GRACE

Heb 13:9

"...for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace..."

The troubles of life always begin in your heart. You are thinking of so many things at the same time.

You have so many pictures that are playing as a slide show in split seconds and you are concerned on how to deal with them all.

In all these things, it is good for your heart to be strengthened by grace.

Scriptures says "Guard your heart with all diligence for our of it flows the issues of life."

The journey of life to fulfill God's mandate is not a smooth ride. It comes with a lot of obstacles that can reduce your momentum.

The trials of life will always rear its ugly head to put you down. As a kingdom soldier, you will need to "stay strengthened by grace."

By your own strength (with limitations), you can't prevail. But with the strength of God (grace without limits) you will always prevail. Grace energy is completely able to keep you on the winning side.

Paul told Timothy in the book of 2 Tim 2:1:
"You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,"

Imagine what will happen to a petrol powered vehicle being filled with water.

No matter how beautiful the car features are, as long as it's not filled up with the right fuel, all functions can't be seen in operation.

The fuel meter will definitely show that the car's fuel tank is full but apparently with the wrong substance. .

This is a challenge for many believers. We appear to be full of "self strength" but forget that it has it's limits.

There are times that will prove difficult in your life pursuit. Wilderness seasons will arise but those strengthened by grace are assured of total victory.

Let's consider the Amplified version of 2 Cor 12:9.

"But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed)and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness."

God is the only one who truly understands your needs and He should always be your number one stop for to draw strength (grace) tailored to your needs.

Heb 4:16
"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

The highlight of today is for you to "stay strengthened" by grace. You have to stay plugged in and consistently live in that consciousness.

Consciousness of what?

That every believer in Christ Jesus is solely powered by grace. Grace brought you to this family of God and grace is the only "fuel" that can sustain you.

Action Point
Today, identify that area where you truly know you have reached your end and consciously and deliberately invite God into the situation. Write them out in a paper and daily say "I have prevailed by grace."

Prayer Point
Lord, I have no power of my own. I acknowledge that I can't pull (Insert those specifics here) on my own. Strengthen me by your grace to victory in Jesus name.

Confession
I am a kingdom soldier of God.
I have been bought with a price.
With the precious and victorious blood of Jesus Christ.
Hence, I am powered by grace. I am never limited by earthly circumstances.
