Hi friends,
On this eternal highway, we need nothing less or more than
the grace of God at each point in time so we can attain to God’s own height. To
reach our desired haven here on earth, grace must be the beginning and end
point.
The kingdom race on this side of the divide starts with grace
for salvation but to finish up the race and be rest assured of the crown of
righteousness like Apostle Paul is another thing entirely. This I believe is
what the Bible refers to as grace for grace!
The book of
John 1: 16 says,
And of his fullness have we all received, and grace for
grace.
From the above scripture, we are able to imply that for each
step or each level of attainment on this Kingdom highway, we need different
levels and dimensions of grace.
In Christ Jesus dwells the totality of the godhead and all
that we would ever need for life and godliness is embedded in Him. The grace
for salvation is not the same as the grace for prosperity or accomplishment in
other facets of life.
For us to be relevant on this earth, we need this different
levels and dimensions of grace. Grace has been defined variously and
differently by different Bible scholars but permit me to define it simply as, a divine ability given by God.
What the people of the world call luck or smartness is
nothing but the grace of God. When the book of Ecclesiastes was referring to time and chance happening to them, it was
simply referring to grace for grace.
The grace of God distinguishes men from men. It makes your
little accomplish much. It overshadows your weaknesses and limitations. It lifts
you above the oppositions of men, the devil and his cohorts.
It speaks for you where you have no voice and silences
judgmental voices. It spoke for an orphaned slave girl and made her become the
queen in the land of captivity. It brought her great favour by which she
delivered her entire nation.
This grace for grace spoke for a prisoner and took him to the
palace where he ended up as the prime minister even in the land of slavery. It removed
the disgrace of the past and brought another dimension of glory.
Friends and fellow pilgrims, I admonish you to ask and seek
for this endless grace for grace until we meet at the golden city of the New
Jerusalem.
Your friend and
fellow Pilgrim in the Kingdom Race,
Pastor Janet
