THE WORD IS
THE GRACE THAT SAVES US
PASTOR PATRICK NGENDAKUMANA
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Brethren, this verse tells us that wherever someone will arrive, he has to collect the grace which he will need in that moment. It's nolonger useful to cry out saying God do this, for He has already come to do it in you through his life that he gave us. Instead, there is a very important responsibility in the beginning that we have to do which is the collecting of grace.
Romans 5:17 b. much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)NKJV
This verse tells us about reigning. In this case, reigning means to have dominion over, and as children of God we reign in all areas. So, the gift of righteousness is a nature, and that nature is not subjected to change. It can't be decreased or increased. But for grace, you can change it. Because whenever you want it to be increased, you can do it. Someone may be experiencing grace on a higher level. And it is the level of grace at work in our life which makes the difference in what we achieve. But, glory be to God because you can increase grace on your desired level.
The ways of multiplying grace are nolonger a mystery, for if you go in the word of God, you can see how God revealed them to us.
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Dear brethren, we multiply grace through knowing God. We have to know more our God for He is our life. In the past, we had the life that fails and He decided to stop that life by sending his own life.
In this dispensation, we have to understand that God has brought the light and wherever that light arrives, the darkness flees. The more grace is multiplied in someone's life, the more what is not in accordance with that grace flees out of his life.
The reason why we have to know God is because it is the only way to be like Him. The following scripture is telling us that as we keep on beholding Him, we are being transformed into the same image we are beholding.
CONFESSION
I believe and confess that the glory of God became also my glory, as I keep on beholding His image in the word daily , I am being transformed into his image. Through the light of the gospel, I've come to know that there is need of crying out to God, instead I multiply the grace i need in my life. I declare that this year is a year of many works of grace, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
