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!

  • People willing to worship God effectively meditate of His character

    Thinking about God and His Majesty, focusing our mind on Him should become something we are constantly worried about. That´s what Jesus taught His disciples. You have to look at God with the eyes of your heart before you open your mouth for prayer.Humble meditation of the God´s character He revealed to us is another way of how to worship Him. We receive His mercy when reading His Word, this, in turn, testifies about God´s character.

    What does fruitfulness depend on? On the level of understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. As we mentioned, if a person listens to the Word of God but does not understand it, then Satan comes and steals the Word. Those who understand the Word bring forth fruit – thirtyfold, sixtyfold and hundredfold.That is why the first requirement for being fruitful in His kingdom is an understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. Today I would like you to see to whom God reveals the mysteries of His Kingdom.

  • Don’t ever allow anything or anybody to stop you from serving.

    Friends, no matter how badly people or life itself has treated you, if you want to move ahead in life you have to learn how to focus on the right thing and chose the right life position. If despite all the odds of life you can still focus on using your gifts and talents; if you can still continue to serve people, then you will soon be able to change your status. That was exactly what happened to Joseph. As he served these two officers of pharaoh instead of concentrating on the offences of others, the door to his throne opened to him easily. Pharaoh sent for Joseph and fetched him out of the prison.

  • Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life

    AutorsMācītājs Rufus Adžiboije Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Reading the Bible we see how Jesus was growing and being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life, in order to set a good example for us. If Jesus had got to know God´s will using His divine nature instead, He wouldn´t have set a role model to us nor we wouldn´t be able to follow his steps today. Jesus stayed longer in the Temple after the feast of Passover in Jerusalem while other people had already left for home (see Luke 2:41-51). What was Jesus doing there and why did He stay longer in the Temple? He stayed there to listen to the scribes and to question them. That´s one of His secrets where His wisdom came from. Jesus studied the Scriptures. He attended the Temple and asked questions, prayed and leaned closer to God, His Father.
