GRACE

Oyeladun Ayorinde

Good evening beautiful Ladies and happy weekend. I'll like to share an excerpt of a message that had blessed me and I pray it blesses you too.

Exodus 19:3-4 "And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel (4) Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagle's wings, and brought you unto myself "

I have always wondered at the use of the symbol of an eagle, and not any other bird to describe d deliverance of Israel from bondage. And I understood better after studying the characteristics of an eagle. An eagle,while flying, flaps d wings and then, when it rises to a level where no other birds can reach, it spreads it's wings out and begins to glide effortlessly.

God was making Israel know that He bore them on d Wings of Grace, with no effort from them.

Grace has been defined as d love and mercy given us by God, not because we deserve or earned it, but because God wanted us to have it.

Grace is generous, free, unexpected. Grace assures u of no struggle. Grace assures you of God's Presence with u.

Grace is anything that I need, but don't deserve. Grace is anything I can't repay, yet, God gives me. Grace is the countenance on God's face when He looks at my faults and failures.

Grace enables you to outrun even those who had gone ahead of you. ( 1 Kings 18:44-46) Ephesians 2 :8-9 By grace we are saved.

Today, the word "Grace" has become a slogan. Many have lost the understanding, the import and d depth of the word. Many even believe that it is their good deeds that earned them favors from God.

Romans 6:1-23 (*1-4) - Grace is not a license to commit sin. In fact, if we are truly saved, Grace helps us to hate sin.

As u go on in life, don't ever forget that what u are enjoying is grace. There's nothing that u have, that u are or wants to be that ur strength can give to u. I pray for u that u will not abuse grace.

Have a wonderful time in His Presence tomorrow.
