How to set grace free in our lives? II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

I am glad to welcome you to our Daily Word for Spiritual Strength section! I believe that God has a word of encouragement for you today!

We began to talk about how to set free the power of favour in our lives. Yesterday we found out that our awareness of the laws of life brings the favour on display in our lives. We also said that one of the main laws governing the operation of favour in our lives, is the law of sowing and reaping.

Today, I want us to return to the discussion of this law.

The law of sowing and reaping governs how favour works. It is necessary to look at favour as a seed that must be sown.
Jesus said that,

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matthew 5:7).

In other words, Jesus is saying, “Blessed are those who have sown favour or mercy, because they will reap favour or mercy.”

Generally, the level of favour operating in your life depends on the amount of the seed of favour you sow into other people’s lives. This means that I cannot expect the harvest of favour in my life until I have sown mercy into other people’s lives.

It is important to understand that favour does not just jump on people and does not come automatically or by accident. Note as well that favour is not the function of prayers and fasting alone. Basically, the power of favour is subjected to the law of sowing and reaping.

If you are graceful towards the Kingdom of God and other people, then you can confidently expect favour to come and fill your life.

You will reap only from the seeds of favour that you are sowing. Therefore the Bible says,

 

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” (Galatians 6:7).

If you are cheating people and are not faithful in your lifestyle, then you are choosing the hard way for yourself. You cannot manage to avoid the consequences of the law of sowing and reaping. You will receive with gain all that you have been sowing into other people’s lives.

Please understand that favour is a seed that will yield a harvest in our lives after we have sown it. You have the abilities and opportunities to sow favour; therefore do not wait for favour, but start right now to provoke or initiate favour by sowing the seed of kindness into the lives of those surrounding you!

May God bless you!

    A breakthrough moves us from weakness to strength. This crippled man’s feet and ankles were weak, therefore he could not walk. When God gave him a breakthrough, his feet and ankles immediately became strong. «…7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. » (Acts 3:7).

    It is impossible to establish God’s Kingdom in our hearts, our lives, our families and all the spheres of our influence without putting forth particular effort. In order for God’s Kingdom to grow we will need to fight and to engage in warfare. So if you have made a decision to have part in expansion of God’s Kingdom in this earth, you can not be a passive observer. Only active people that have taken a position of overcomers in Christ are able to establish the Kingdom in their lives and around them.

  • Why do people choose to be irresponsible? II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
    Being responsible is connected to the condition of person’s heart. If the heart is wicked and the mind is not renewed, then it would be futile to expect responsible behaviour. The servant who buried his talent did not think highly of his lord. He considered his lord to be a cruel man who reaps where he has not sown and gathers where he has not scattered seed. Because of these ponderings in his heart he did not have the motivation to do his best

  • What do we have to do in order to witness spiritual revival filling our cities?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Jesus didn´t come into this world to die on the cross so that people become religious and indifferent to God. Contrariwise, Jesus came to fill the Earth with His glory just like rivers fill the seas. Jesus set an example of what we have to do. Wherever Jesus showed up He stirred the place! Everywhere He showed up people responded to His visit both positively and negatively. Some of them said: “Watch the Messiah, He is the answer, He is the son of God!” while the others stated: “He is obsessed by demons, He is a sinner, blasphemer, He is dangerous, so He must die”.

  • How NOT to give up, when problems and trials are all around IV

    We continue our discussion about how not to give up at the time of troubles and temptation. Yesterday we spoke about the necessity to know that when we are walking through the problems in our life God keeps all our situations under control having already prepared a solution for us. Today I would like to continue this topic and show you that temptations or trials are a kind of test or exam. It can either put a shame on you and take the Spirit of glory away from you or you will rejoice and get excited of the honour to pass this test.

    Nevertheless, there are four possible God´s answers to the right prayer said by the right person.First answer – we pray and receive an immediate answer. It works this way in the life of newly born Christians, but not only. Also Peter received an immediate answer to his prayer. He called to the Lord for help when he started to drown, and the answer came immediately – Jesus stretched His hand to save Peter´s life.
