Did you know that man is a product of God’s grace? Pt 2

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.

Man cannot exist without the grace of God; for without God we can do nothing. It is the grace of God that keeps us through the good and the bad times. There are so many things in life that we are powerless to. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV. It is the grace of God that happens to them all. Romans 9:13 says that even God decides who he would favour. It says Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated.

What is grace? What is favour? Grace is the free unmerited favour of God, divinely given talent or blessing. It is the kindness and life of God. Favour is the over generous preferential treatment; it is an act of kindness beyond that which is due or usual; unfair preferential treatment.

God will favour us all; no matter how undeserving we are, doors of favour shall be opened to us. The simple reason is this, there are things we can control; what we eat but not how the food works in our body, we can control who we meet but not how they react to us. We can control a few things but not the final outcome of the things or situation. Therefore, there are things within our control but there are many things that are outside our control that are working towards making us something or the other.  The overall outcome of how we end up is dependent on the favour and grace of God. It is the grace of God pulls us out.

Man is born of and a product of grace. Nobody alive created himself; we are simply a product of the grace and favour of God. 1 Samuel 1: 20, Jeremiah 1:5. Therefore we are already favoured by God. How come even though we are born of grace things are bot working well for us, that we do not find favour? It is because there are destiny stealers. Some people their grace is stolen from birth, some it happens as soon as they are born and some it happens along the journey of their life.
