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 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 level 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 not 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 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 those 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 what you have been sowing into other people’s lives.Please understand that favour is a seed that will yield 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 intiniate favour sowing the seed of kindness into the lives of surrounding you!May God bless you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Let’s talk about another quality Jethro possessed: he did not pressure Moses to accept his advice. We can see in the Scripture, which I would like us to look at:«If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace» (Exodus, 18:23).We can see here that Jethro did not demand Moses to accept his advice, but gave him a chance to make a choice himself. The phrase “if you do this thing” means that even if Moses did not listen to Jethro, he would not be upset. So he knew he could not take it personally if Moses chooses a different way.

    The measure of our understanding about importance of the lordship of Jesus Christ will determine the level of victory in our lives. No victory is possible without the lordship of Jesus Christ. The victory is where Jesus is. Only the person that allows Jesus Christ to be his or her Lord can truly walk in His victory.Today I would like to give you several illustrations of how, based on the understanding of the lordship of Jesus Christ, we gain protection from all the purposes of the devil. Let’s look into the Bible.

    As you know, human life consists of habits. There are also good and bad habits. Any habit that brings a positive outcome requires some efforts and discipline from us. Unless we have a habit of praying our prayer life will never become effective neither fruitful. Let me quote the statement of an Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle who once said about habits – “We are the product of what we repeatedly do”. In other words, our habits are our essence. Therefore, in order to excel at something, we have to make it our habit.
