DAY 3: UNDERSTANDING THE MERCIES OF GOD II- THE GRACE DIMENSION

 THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY

(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

 


TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING THE MERCIES OF GOD II- THE GRACE DIMENSION

DATE: 3 SEPTEMBER, 2021

BIBLE READING: EPHESIANS 2:1-18

VERSE FOR MEDITATION: EPHESIANS 2:7 TPT

Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite, limitless riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.

 

     Grace is another dimension of the mercies of God. Grace does not simply means undeserved favour, but something happened for you to receive a favour you do not deserve. That is when mercy comes in, grace is when mercy meets with favour. Without mercy, you cannot receive grace (the undeserved favour of the lord). That is why when you come boldly to the throne of grace, what you first receive is not grace, but mercy. It is with this mercy of God that you use to find [not obtain] grace (Hebrew 4:16).

       The grace of God is best understood by the mercies of God, which is why it is the dimension of the mercies of God. And in our Bible reading, before we could see the exceeding riches of God’s grace (vs. 7), we saw how He was first rich in mercy (vs 4). So grace is made possible because mercy is available.

        Just as how we are the reflection of the mercies of God, we also, according our verse for meditation are the reflection of the grace of God.

Thank God for the grace of God that saved us from sin and granted us access to the Father. No amount of works and sacrifices can remit our sins, it is only by the grace of God through faith.

But do not forget that the grace of God that brought us our salvation teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and that we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world (Tit. 2:11-12). This grace has been freely given to us so that we can be God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works (Eph. 2:10). 

 

PRAYER: O Father! I thank You that Your rich mercy that has met with Your favour has brought me Your exceeding riches of Your grace. Now I am saved and I am Your masterpiece. Thank You that Your grace found me.

 

DECLARATION: I AM THE VISIBLE DISPLAY OF THE INFINITE, LIMITLESS RICHES OF GOD’S GRACE!

2024: THE YEAR OF ESTABLISHMENT

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle
