STANDING BY GRACE

SCRIPTURE: For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; – Titus 2:11-12.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Grace makes us to stand in uprightness and not be swallowed up by generational iniquity and apostasy.

I discovered in the course of searching the Scriptures that there are two major things that make people stand in life. The first thing is faith (Romans 11:20). The second thing is Grace. It is the Grace of God that makes the child of God, to stand on solid ground.  The meaning of this is, outside the grace of God, it is very easy to fall flat in front of various situations of life.

Now, what does grace make us to stand in?

1. Grace makes us to stand in uprightness.

Grace makes us stand in uprightness and not to be swallowed by generational iniquity and apostasy. The Bible says that the love of many people shall wax cold because iniquity shall abound (Matthew 24:12). We live in a world of conformity and compromise; it takes grace not to be like the world even though we are in the world.

From our anchor scripture, we understand that grace gives us the power to say ‘No’ to sin. So, one way that grace makes us to stand is to make us to say ‘No’ to sin. It is grace makes us to say no when there’s pressure to conform to the standard of this world and be like the rest.

I decree on your life today, that grace is coming upon you in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Grace makes us to stand in uprightness and not be swallowed up by generational iniquity and apostasy.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make demands on the grace of God to say ‘No’ to sin.
2. Make up your mind to be different from others.

PRAYER: O LORD, I ask for the grace to say ‘No’ to every form of ungodliness. Help me LORD to stay connected to you, in Jesus’ Name.
