Beloved, there was something great that God gave to the whole human race. He gave it through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. It was called grace. GOD”S RICHES, RIGHTEOUSNESS, REDEMPTION, REGENERATION, AT CHRIST ‘S EXPENSE.
Riches, righteousness, redemption and regeneration, all of these came from God at Christ ”s expense.
Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Beloved, God gave this grace to make humanity to be blessed and beautified here on earth and also to have a befitting eternity with Him. Both these blessings shall be your portion in Jesus name. See it.
Psalms 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
God chooses to be unusuallygracious to His saints. He shall be unusually gracious to you in particular in Jesus name.
Exo 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
Exo 34:6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
See some of these saints that received these graciousness of your Father in heaven. He will do sane and more to you too in Jesus name.
1. Noah . While God destroyed the whole first world with flood . Noah because of grace was spared.
Gen 6:8 — Gen 6:9 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
2. Joseph , though sold to slavery, received unusual grace for favour and fortune from the Lord.
Gen 39:4 — Gen 39:5 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
Moses received the kind of favor that none else before or after him received from the Lord.
Exo 33:12 — Exo 33:14 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Exo 33:17 — Exo 33:23 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Beloved , beyond what God did for these saints, shall be done to you too in Jesus name. This was because God had promised to pour ceaseless spirit of grace upon His saints. Since you are one, reach out to Him in prayer and receive it.
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Dearly beloved, grace, God”s gracious grace came through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jn 1:14 — Jn 1:17 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
This gracious grace cane through our Lord, when He painfully and shamefully died for humanity and you in particular on the cross of Calvary.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Our Lord during His earthly ministry, lived a lifestyle, that showcase this biblical grace.
Praise the Lord, through this grace believers of all ages and you in particular were accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians 1:6-7 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
This enables the believers of all ages that must include you to live biblical gracious l lifestyle, like Him.
Acts 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
The blessed Holy Spirit through apostle Paul reemphasised the importance of believers of all ages and you living a biblical gracious lifestyle, after their conversion. . See it.
Tit 2:11 — Tit 2:12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
See how the scriptures affirmed this severally.
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:8 — Eph 2:9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
This grace is always sufficient for believers to go through every challenge, that might come their ways.
2Co 12:9 — 2Co 12:10 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. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
This grace unusually enables believers of all ages and you , never ever to continue or entertain any form of sin in their lives. Please don’t ever forget this.
Rom 6:1 — Rom 6:2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Rom 5:20 — Rom 5:21 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Remember dearly beloved, never ever , receive the grace of God in vain. The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name.

Friend, keep on tirelessly preparing for the dawning rapture. There is one way to know whether you are in deed preparing for this imminent event. Only those who believe and embrace wholeheartedly, the gospel of grace are those that are really preparing for a glorious eternity or partaking in the rapture. I am persuaded you are one of such believers.
Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
However, something is very clear in the lives of those who embrace the gospel of grace. They usually lives gracious lifestyle, devoid of unrighteousness.

For such believers God unusually lavishes them with this gracious, grace.

He does this always to help them continue to the end, no matter or in spite of challenges confronting their lives. Are you presently challenged. Relax and remember, that God shall ensure grace for you to continue, is ceaselessly given to you.
Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
While doing this, you must never ever allow bitterness, malice , unforgiving spirit to spring inside of you.
Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
In addition, you live a lifestyle of biblical humility.
1Pe 5:5 — 1Pe 5:6 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
This way anytime the trumpet sound, you shall be ready in Jesus name.
