TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work”
(2 Corinthians 9:8, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
What is it that you have need of today? Remember, we serve a God of abundance. Our God is always more than enough. No matter what is on your “plate of life,” God wants to empower you with His grace.
One meaning of the word “grace” is God’s good will, loving-kindness and favor. His grace, His good will is what keeps us. His favor strengthens us and causes us to increase. The wonderful thing is that He’s already extending that grace to you right now; all you have to do is open your heart and humbly receive it by faith.
Notice in this verse that when He pours out His grace on you, you will have all that you need at all times…that’s living in abundance. And when you are living in abundance, you are equipped to pour out that goodness and blessing on those around you. Abundant grace leads to abundant living, and abundant living leads to abundant giving! Today, receive His grace because it abounds to you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, today I humbly come before You. I surrender my heart, my will, mind and emotions to You. I ask that You pour out Your grace on me today and equip me for every good work. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
Nice words indeed, if you are not get connected with Jesus now and see how wonderful life can be. Thank you Jesus.
Discernment and critical thinking would go a long way with many of today’s self-proclaimed apostles and prophets. A lot of what they teach and practice, if tested by Scripture, would be found wanting, to say the least.
My heart is bleeding, having read Late Jackson Mwamba’s story in the post. If the bishops, Apostles, Prophets, Drs. of the Church all channeled what they raise in their respective churches towards alleviating the suffering of people like Late Jackson, this world would be very different.
BUT ALAS, ALL MONEY COLLECTED THROUGH TITHES AND OTHER DONATIONS ALL ENDS UP INTO THE PASTORS’ PERSONAL ACCOUNTS WHO ABUSE IT TO LIVE POSHY LIVES, CONSTRUCT MANSIONS, AND PURCHASES PAJEROS, ETC AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR SUFFERING CHURCH MEMBERS.
I WISH, I WISH, I WISH.
