God’s grace is His undeserved

Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all…

Romans 4:16

God’s grace is His undeserved, unearned and unmerited favor. And because it is undeserved, unearned and unmerited, all of us qualify for it. But how do we walk in it?
Just as a password gives you access to a computer program, faith enables you to walk in God’s unmerited favor. Now, faith has nothing to do with what you do or what you can do. Faith is simply believing and declaring what God has done and is doing for you.
When you believe that the favor of God is on you because of Christ’s finished work, His promises of provision, healing and restoration become sure to you. They are not just sure to the Jews, but also to you and me because we are “of the faith of Abraham”.
Ruth was a Gentile widow who put her faith in God’s grace. She believed and declared that God’s favor would lead her to the right field in which to glean, where she would find favor in the owner’s sight. (Ruth 2:2) Because she depended on God’s unmerited favor, God not only placed her in wealthy Boaz’s field, but also in the genealogy of Jesus! (Matthew 1:5)
Ruth’s faith in God’s favor opened up a whole new world for her. She went from poverty to wealth, widowhood to marriage, and from being childless to having a complete family. She also became a respected member of the community. (Ruth 4:13–15)
If Ruth, a Gentile who was under the old covenant, enjoyed God’s favor, how much more will we who are under the new covenant of grace enjoy the blessings that the unmerited favor of God brings! In fact, because God sees us in the Beloved today, we enjoy the same favor that Jesus has! (Ephesians 1:3–6)
My friend, when you believe that you have the same favor that Jesus has, a whole new world will open up to you — a world where all of God’s promises are “Yes” and “Amen” in Christ! (2 Corinthians 1:20)

Christ Has Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The World

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

Galatians 3:13

Many believers probably know that when Jesus died, our sins were forgiven because He shed His blood. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. (Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:22) But why did Jesus have to die on the cross, since the capital punishment of Israel during the time of Christ was stoning and not crucifixion?

Jesus hung and died on the cross because He knew the law which says that “he who is hanged is accursed of God”. (Deuteronomy 21:23) He wanted to redeem us from every curse of the law, so He went to the cross, “having become a curse for us”. Jesus took all our curses at the cross, so that we can take all His blessings!

The moment you received Jesus, every curse in your life was destroyed. And the way you experience this is to simply believe and confess what Jesus has done for you. Say, “Because of Jesus, I am blessed.” The more you say it and believe it, the more you will experience it.

So if there is an area in your life in which you feel oppressed, for example, a skin condition that refuses to heal, say, “Christ has redeemed me from this skin condition. I refuse it and reject it in Jesus’ name because by His stripes I am healed!” (1 Peter 2:24) Believe it and say it until you see it!

“But Pastor Prince, my father died of cancer. His father died of cancer. And I have been told by my doctor that there is a likelihood that I might get it too. It’s in our blood!”

My friend, the blood of Christ shed at the cross has redeemed you from all curses, including diseases like cancer! God put the curse of cancer on Jesus at the cross. And He put all the blessings of Jesus on you. Therefore, expect only the blessings of Jesus to come upon you and overtake you!

No Limit To His Supply

I believe God is pleased when you ask Him for more. There is no limit to His supply! And He wants to bless you with every good thing. When you ask Him for more of His goodness, more of His strength, more of His healing, more of His favor, more of His divine power working in you and through you—He is not offended. He loves to bless you! In fact, God has already provided you with these things. As a child of God, righteous in His sight because of Jesus, these blessings are laid up in store for you. All you and I have to do is access them by faith. Let me show you how... You can be empowered by the Holy Spirit to enjoy divine health, good success and every spiritual blessing. In John 14:26, Jesus told His disciples that when He returned to the Father, they would receive the Helper, that is the Holy Spirit, who would teach them all things. On the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1–4, the Holy Spirit showed up in a powerful way. A mighty wind was heard and felt, as cloven tongues of fire settled over the believers gathered in the Upper Room that day. The Holy Spirit filled everyone in that room, just as Jesus had promised, and they spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. This same gift of tongues is available to you. While you don't have to speak in tongues, it is such a privilege and a gift from our Father in heaven. And today I want to show you how this blessed gift from heaven can transform your life from the inside out. The reason why we as believers can speak in tongues today, is because we have been made so righteous by the blood of Jesus that the Holy Spirit can live in us (see 1 Corinthians 3:16)—not just for one day, but forever! This is such a wonderful truth to understand because it means that you are continually filled with the Holy Spirit. When the Lord is with you always, it means that you will live a life that is not stagnant, defeated or unproductive. Life in the Spirit is characterized by joyful abundance. Jesus likened the Holy Spirit inside you to rivers of living water (see John 7:38-39). When you pray in the Spirit, you are tapping into the power that God has deposited in you through the Holy Spirit. You can activate and release this power of God to come into whatever situation you find yourself in. If you are hard pressed for a decision...there is a river of wisdom. If you feel weak...there is a river of power. If you are confused about a situation...there is a river of a sound mind. If you feel unloved or unappreciated...there is a river of love. If you are tired or overwhelmed...there is a river of rest. But here is the key: these rivers are released through your mouth. As you continue to pray in the Spirit (or maybe begin for the very first time), the rivers of provision, increase, healing, favor and divine power will flow mightily in your life. Beloved, God never meant for us to live life in stress. You don't have to strive or struggle with God—He wants you to live in the flow. Whenever you have a need, come to your Father and pray in the Spirit. Instead of worrying, turn your cares into prayers and enter His rest. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 28:11-12 that speaking in tongues is "the rest" and "the refreshing." So, the more you pray in the Spirit, the more you allow the power of God to drive out every fear, stress, worry and anxiety from your life. You will then see a greater measure of healing for your body, experience God's power in your situations and receive provision for your every need! Beloved, thank you so much for your prayers and your faithful, generous support. Each time you give, it enables us to share the gospel of grace with millions of people all over the world. Thank you for standing with us and making that possible. Remember, you can stir up rivers of life as you pray in tongues. And when you are so full of the Holy Spirit, you can't help but say and do things that produce successful results.

Commit Your Works

Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.

Proverbs 16:3

Supernaturally On Top Of Things

The Book of Wisdom instructs us to be “diligent to know the state of your flocks” (Proverbs 27:23). In other words, whether you’re running a business, in charge of a department, or just taking care of your home and children, know what’s going on!

Now, God doesn’t want you to get stressed out carrying out this responsibility in your own strength. He wants you to trust Him to empower you to do it. God wants you to look to Him, lean on His favor, wisdom and supply, and experience His Spirit leading you to carry out your responsibilities with thoroughness, accuracy and effectiveness.

Beloved, as you go about what you need to do today, trust the Lord to position you at the right time and place to do the right thing. Ask and expect Him to show you what you need to zero in on, and to supernaturally equip you for the demands of every situation. That’s how you walk in divinely directed diligence and stay on top of things!

Rest To See Victory

“Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

Mark 12:36

Rest To See Victory

Many of us want our problems solved first before we adopt an attitude of rest. We say things like, “I can only rest when my healing manifests,” or “I’ll relax the day I get that promotion and pay increase.” But God says, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

Sitting is a position of rest. Through Jesus’ finished work you are seated with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). And you are to remain seated or at rest until you see God put every one of your problems under your feet!

Thoughts may be swirling in your head today—What am I going to do about it? Where is the money going to come from? What if the tumor is malignant? What if I lose my job? But learn to adopt an inward position of rest. When you rest, the Lord goes to work, orchestrating events in the natural and spiritual realms to bring every enemy under your feet.

Beloved, you allow Almighty God to work in you, through you and in your circumstances when you rest. Sometimes, it may seem like He is not doing anything when you rest. Don’t be tempted then to move out of your position of rest. You can’t do more than He can! Stay seated—at rest—knowing that He is working behind the scenes, turning your evil days into good days, preserving you and causing all things to work out for good!

Blessed Is The Man

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.

Psalm 1:1–2

Run With God’s Counsel

In today’s scripture, we see the psalmist describing the habits of a man that cause him to be blessed by the Lord. Notice how the blessed man “walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.”

This means that the blessed man doesn’t depend on the advice of “experts” who are independent of and don’t honor God. Neither does he follow those who plot the downfall of others in order to prosper. And he doesn’t participate in cynical coffee shop talk! The man who does these things then is someone who doesn’t trust the Lord but fallible man and self. And he doesn’t meditate on God’s ways, but the ways of the world.

Beloved, don’t choose this path. Choose instead to trust wholeheartedly in Jesus by meditating day and night on His Word and His ways. And it will be a matter of time before you experience His blessings and success in all that you do!

The Blessed State Of The Righteous

The Blessed State of the Righteous

112 Praise the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears (Worship) the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.

² His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
³ Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
⁴ Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
 Many still referring "fears" the Lord "fearing" God but Jesus tell us fear here means "Worship" only thy God .... Luke4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve..
