Topic: Tap into Grace.
Today’s Scripture: “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Second Corinthians chapter 12 verse 9, (NIV). New International Version.
Message: The apostle Paul talked about a secret frustration in his life, which he called “a thorn in the flesh.” Scholars have debated whether it was a physical condition, such as an illness or eye condition, or something else. Whatever was bothering him, Paul prayed three times for God to remove it. One translation says he “implored” God to take it away. That means that Paul gave it his best argument. “God, I’ve served You. I’ve been my best. I’ve prayed for others, and they’ve been healed. God, please take it away.” But what’s interesting is that God never removed that thorn. Rather, God’s answer to him was: “Paul, tap into My grace. It’s sufficient for you. You are well able to enjoy your life in spite of this secret frustration.” Is there something you’ve implored God to change but nothing’s improved? If God is not removing it or changing it, don’t let that steal your joy. Tap into His grace. It is sufficient for you.
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that You are sovereign and know what is best for me. I’m not going to let a secret frustration sour my life. I know Your grace is sufficient for me. Whether it ever changes or not, I declare that I’m still going to be my best and honor You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: There are many things we don’t know about our body systems, about our marriage family life and finances, but God very well knows them. He’s also in full control of them all. In prayer, if we ask Him to do something in our lives, and we’re yet to receive answered prayer, all we need to do is to be patient. In Isaiah chapter 64 verse 8, the prophet said: “And yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand”. I decree and declare, you shall receive Grace to understand God as Prophet Isaiah did in the above scripture, and allow Him to perfect His GRACE in your life, just as the Lord did in Apostle Paul’s life. As you allow sufficient Grace to flush frustration out of you; joy, peace and fulfilment shall be your portion, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
