Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1: 4-5 KJV
God’s grace and favour forms an edge around man and this helps us to succeed. Even when we go through the challenges of life we still enjoy God’s favour. Romans 8:31 says it most clearly that of God be for us who then (or what power) can stand against us? The reason why the devil was able to attack Job was because God withdrew His favour from his life. Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. Job 1: 10-11 KJV. The enemy cannot have their way in our life for as long as we are operating under the grace and favour of God.
It is important for us to know today that because we are alive and reading this post we are simply a product of grace. If you are alive and breathing we have grace working for us. The most damaging thing we can do to ourselves is to think that we are not worth it, to think we are not useful, to think we cannot make it. Let it be known to us today that because we are alive today we are on the road to making it already through the grace and favour of God.
You know the doctors would tell you that in every copulation between a man and woman, there is at least 3 million sperm cells that are released. Three million sperms that are running towards one egg, and anyone of the 3 or 300 million could have made it. But instead it was you that made it and got born into this world that God created. Look properly at yourself and say, “out of the millions of sperms I was the one that made it”. You ran ahead of all the others and won, so who can say that you will or cannot make it? You already beat millions of people hands down to be born and even now you still alive when many have passed on. Of course you will make it because that grave and favour that brought you this far is waiting for you to run with that same energy which you started out with at conception.
Ask yourself “If you are born of grace why is your life still a struggle?” Then there is a need to rethink your life, turn to Jesus and let him weed away all those things that are acting a barrier to the fulfillment of God’s grace and favour manifesting in your life.
