Grace - the qualifier

 

 

Text: 1 Cori 15:10(KJV)                                                     

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Friends, the world has standards for certification but in the kingdom of God grace is our qualifier. It is not looking at the background, merit, education, race or gender etc but he approves us as God is a not a respecter of persons. The kingdom of God operates with different criteria for qualification and so we can experience a turn around by His grace. Hence, grace cover, overcome and empower you for greater doors.  So, we must remember that grace is our divine qualifier and not based on our resume of the past or our present status. John 1:16-17 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ

Interestingly, God can pick a man from nothing to greatness as He did to Paul a persecutor of Christians and he became a mighty vessel of gospel preacher.  Hebrew 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need  Yes, grace makes us fit even where human standards did not elect us. Therefore, despite our flaws and mistakes, the undeserved favour and kindness of God is coming afresh this morning as He took Esther from nobody to queenship position as she found grace in the sight of God. So, embrace the truth that you are enough by grace today. I pray grace will continue to build us in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, may we find grace in the sight of God that will make us the chosen or the preferred in the world of competition despite our errors in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, grace can move you from prison to honours as he did to Joseph.
