Saturday 16 November SIMPLY GRACE Memorise: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Read: 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 Bible in one year: Ezekiel 15-18 After identifying his problem, King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20:4-13 refused to walk by sight but looked up to God in the face of threats. This was exactly what God wanted. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, For we walk by faith, not by sight: Those who will be ready for Gods use in these end times must be ready to walk by faith and not by sight. Our sense of sight is so linited. Sight sees and speaks only of what is available, but if you have to wait until certain resources are available, you may never achieve what God wants done. For instance, when God sent Elijah to the widow at Zarephath in 1 Kings 17:8-16, if she was to wait until she had enough before accepting to take in the man of God, she would never have obeyed Gods Word, and would most probably have died during the famine. Many times, if we were to go by our physical weaknesses, we would never have been used by God to do the impossible. The difference between what we have and what we need for the assignment is His grace. When God is sending you on assignment, He knows your limitations before asking you to go. If He cannot make up the shortfall, He would not have sent you. How is it ever possible for one to chase a thousand and two to chase ten thousands if the sense of sight is applied? It is only grace! How can God pick up a notorious robber, clean him up and ask him to go and start preaching to people including those he once robbed? Sight will say: Never; but thank God for grace. How can God give that assignment to you, in spite of your low educational qualifications, whereas, by all reasonable standards, it is meant for professors? It could only have been possible by His grace. So trust His grace. His grace can fix the difference. Accept that task the Lord is giving to you because He had already prepared to cover up the difference. His grace will be sufficient for you. Prayer Point: Father, between what I have and what I need to do Your assignment, let Your grace cover up the difference. (Open Heavens Volume Thirteen, 2013, Pastor E. A. Adeboye)
