GRACE - 7

YOUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED

Welcome to the last lesson in this teaching series on Grace. I hope you have been blessed so far by the overwhelming abundance of Grace that is in Christ Jesus. This is the joy that we have, that is, we have received freedom and life. With Grace, life is now meaningful.

We should however note that the faith which we have in Christ Jesus made it possible for us to obtain this Grace. Many years back, humans have been in a long search for a way out of sin, death, diseases, and all sorts of oppression.

The bible talked about how even the Angels desire to look into the provision of God for us, that we might be justified by Grace through our faith in Christ Jesus. This plan had been made ready and sealed from the beginning of the world, but God deem it fit to reserve it for this generation. This is how we know God’s love and his tender mercies. That we do not deserve the gift he has given to us. Our God is just a loving God.

Now, it is very important that we know the power of the transformation of Grace in the life of a believer. You see, when we became saved by Grace, we became the children of God. The bible posits that we also became citizens of the kingdom of God. So do not need to put SOME WORKS OF HOLINESS OR RIGHTEOUSNESS together again in other to gain access to the kingdom of God. Grace saved us, and has brought us already into the Kingdom of Our Father. We are now called sons and daughters of God.

We should therefore know that, God is now interested in having a healthy relationship with you and I. God’s purpose for relieving us from the works of the law is to make us become his child. To be become a child of God is the same as becoming saved by Grace by believing the gospel.

So Jesus said “Come unto me, all you who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”

The “heavy laden” is all about the burden of the law and the struggles of life. This was his call before when he came to make Grace available unto us. So there is rest in Grace.

A believer is not saved to struggle again, but to rest in the Grace of our lord Jesus Christ.

We are called unto rest. GRACE IS REST!

This has been the order of God from the beginning. Those who had problems and struggles with life and with God are those who do not believe God or believe his words.

So the writer of Hebrews said “And to whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?”… Then he proceeds by saying that “For we which have believed do enter into rest…” and then finally he said “For he that is entered into rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his”

So the day you believed the gospel is the day you rested from your works. Grace has taken over from you. So Grace is rest from all work, struggles and burdens. Look around you today; you will see many believers struggling with one thing or the other - sin, sickness, finance, job, academics, pain, among others; all these have been defeated by Jesus Christ and the victory has been made available to us by Grace through faith.

You will notice how that, Grace is attached to faith. This is because faith is the key to unlocking all packages made available through Grace. Truly they have been made free and available to us, but we need to access them and this can be done only through faith. Anyone without faith cannot enjoy Grace at all! Although Grace is made available unto them but they will continue to live indifferent from those who have not received Grace.

This is why it is very important for us to always be in the atmosphere where Grace is taught extensively and the message of Grace Transformation is preached.

I have heard and seen many people who got transformed by Grace. So many people with addictions of pornography, drugs have been freed without any struggle or work done by them. Just their faith in what Christ has made available by Grace.

Grace is the only way out of sin; we have been saying that from the beginning of this series. Grace is just the only way. No matter how and hard you may try to stop yourself from sinning, it will not work. It will amount to more frustrations. You can only be freed when you turn to the Lords’ Grace. 

This is how your problems can be solved.

There are many prayer points we pray today, which are not relevant in the kingdom of God. This is because we are supposed to pray with reference to the victory made available by the cross. The cross has made all these things available to us by Grace. These things can only be received by faith. We are not trying to get anything from God any more; we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We just need to bring these things into manifestation by our faith.

No matter what you are going through, your problem has been solved. Just turn to Grace!

This is how you reign in life, this is the victory we have, we have peace and we are not afraid of anything. Not even death, for we are the sons and daughters of God. Therefore, go and reign!
