Grace




We don't deserve it yet he gave it to us.

Our works and labour could never pay the price but he have us for free.

Sometimes we think is our effort, we think we are special and better than others us, we think we are more deserving of it than our neighbour but we forget the place of God's unmerited favour, the power of Grace.

I believe Grace is what God gives that makes what we don't deserve accessible to us.

For example, you have a huge project to embark on, you know it is beyond your power, you lack ideas, funds, and many more for the project. After much struggle, you pray for God's grace and in a crazy way, a way you could never explain, everything start to work out well. Men begin to volunteer to help without you even asking, ideas starts to flood the mind like no man's buisness and then you just smile to your self realizing that by your strength you could actually have done nothing but with God's grace there is always a way in the wilderness.

This is not to encourage laziness in anyway but to let you know that in life you would always be in need of the grace and favour of God. Our strength would not always be enough. What we perceive to be human wisdom might not always come through for us. We need Gods grace in every aspect of our life such as; our careers (like the above example), parenting, relationships and even in our faith.
Yes, we need grace to trust God, we need grace to leave the level of just knowing God's word to actually believing it and living it out.
It is easy to trust God when things are going well but when faced with life storms, it is only the grace of God that can bring us out hale and healthy while still standing strong in faith.
Even the greatest gift of God to man, salvation can only by acquired by GRACE through FAITH. So you see, grace is paramount. It is something you should always pray for.

DO NOT HOLD BACK

  In as much as I believe God places people in our lives by himself, I also believe there is a place of intentionality and effort when it comes to making friends and sustaining friendships and any other type of relationship (even the one we have with our parents) How many friends would you still have if you did not stop communicating? How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt...

Friendships are gifts

  Have you ever looked at a friend or even a family member of yours and be like, "thank God you are in my life" and the person feels the same way too.  There is a way God brings people into our lives.  Not all relationships happen by accident, some were arranged by God for specific purposes. He looked at us, he assessed our needs and then he placed people around us that would meet those specific needs. Appreciate someone y ou know is a blessing from God today. You didn't meet the people in your life by mistake and the people you would be meeting in the future  would not be by mistake.  Do not be quick to push people away because you feel they are not giving you the world definition of value like money, connections, etc. While all of those things are good and God also provides people in our life that can give them to us, your friends might be giving you peace, making you smile and laugh when you are sad, hearing you talk about stuff that makes you happy, supporti...

God type of love

  The Word love is a very deep word. It means different things to different people. Here is my perspective on love... If there is one thing I know, it is everybody deserves to be loved regardless of their background, race, age qualifications etc. The man in the Palace need to be shown love as much as the man on the street. Don't Love people just because of the benefits that you can get from them alone. Even if they cannot offer you anything still love. In Love there is compassion, hope, patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, peace, no strife, no envy, no jealousy no competition but like Jesus, there is willingness to bear the burden of other people and share in their joy. For people in romantic relationships, love is not infatuation and lust, they are both self seeking but it is an intentional decision to choose someone regardless of the situation. Note that you don't have to be friends or close with someone to love them, as a matter of fact some people just call thems...
