Spirit And Life Devotional: Stand Firm In Grace

Must read

Spirit and Life Devotional is a daily publication by Pastor Chinaemerem Ibezim, senior pastor of Able Ministers Chapel, a church based in Calabar, Cross River State. 

[pull_quote_center]”I have written and sent this short letter to you with the help of Silas, whom I commend to you as a faithful brother. My purpose in writing is to encourage you and assure you that what you are experiencing is truly part of God’s grace for you. Stand firm in this grace.” 1 Peter 5:12[/pull_quote_center]

To stand firm in grace is to believe strongly in it, to accept it, to live accordingly. The Message translation says it’s to embrace it with both arms.

One sad truth is that it is possible to fall away from grace. It’s what a lot of people do not realize. Galatians 5:4 says, “For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.” Now, that’s a very strong statement.

How you live your life matters; your beliefs matter too! God’s grace is in abundance for everyone of us; we must choose to enjoy it. There are people who ignorantly try to rely on their works to gain favour, blessings and acceptance with God; no! We have been accepted in the Beloved! Hallelujah!

Prophetic Declaration

I choose to stand firm in the grace of God; I am embracing it with both arms; I live by the grace of God; I rely on grace and not on my works or personal abilities. I will not be misled to fall from grace; I am enjoying God’s sufficient grace for me! Amen.
