ESTABLISHED IN GRACE
ESTABLISHED IN GRACE
ESTABLISHED IN GRACE
FOCUS WORD: ESTABLISHED IN GRACE
FOCUS VERSE; 1 Peter 5: 10 - He will make you strong, firm and steadfast.
DECLARATION: Grace establishes every area of my life; I finish this rooted and unshakable.
Grace is more than forgiveness - it is divine strength: We most often connect grace with forgiveness, but it is beyond that. Peter instructs that God Himself will make you strong, firm and steadfast. Grace does not merely pardon the past, but it is God’s power for the present and the future.
2 Corinthians 12: 9 - My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
Hebrews 4: 16 - Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Titus 2: 11 and 12 - For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age.
Grace does not let people remain passive or inactive, but makes them strong. We are able to lead godly lives because of the grace working in us.
God uses every season of our life to establish us: Peter wrote the above verse to the people who were being persecuted in the first century by the Emperor. What looked like opposition, trial in the fire, was actually a preparation to make them rooted in faith. Job went through many trials but his end was amazing because he rested in the hands of God.
Genesis 50: 20 - As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.
Psalm 66: 12 - You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
God wastes nothing that occurs in the life of His children - sorrows, trials, valleys of darkness and death, pain, crying through the night, persecution, etc. There was once an evangelist
A. A. Allen whose family went through a very long period of illnesses and death. Then he attended church one day and he was changed forever. He received a miraculous healing and also the anointing for healing the sick. This is how the grace of God works.
Established believers are not easily shaken: Let us consider the example of a stake hammered into the ground. It is hammered then rotated gently and hammered again into the earth. This process goes on and on till the stake does not rotate any more. It is now firmly embedded in the earth. When we consider the spiritual context, the trials that shake and rotate us today are working to get us firmly rooted in the Rock that is Jesus. This is God’s desire for every believer.
Ephesians 3: 16 - That according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being.
Psalm 125: 1 - Those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever.
Colossians 2: 7 - Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Spiritual maturity produces stability. Eg. In a region that was struck by violent storm and hurricane, there was devastation in most parts of the area - houses were uprooted, vehicles were destroyed. But, in one area where there were many oak trees, hadn’t been touched. On close examination it was found that the roots of the ancient trees had gone deep into the earth and also intertwined with the roots of other oak trees. The roots were so interlocked that the trees held firm and could not be uprooted. God says we are the oaks of righteousness.
Grace finishes what human effort cannot: Establishment is God’s work. We only need to cooperate and God will establish his work in us. He is able to keep us from stumbling and even being subdued by trials and failures.
Jude 1: 24 - Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy.
Philippians 2: 13 - For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Psalm 138: 8 - The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me.
Whatever work God has begun in me will be completed by God Himself. He is the Alpha and the Omega.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
