WHAT'S YOUR CONNECTION?

Hello precious people,

This morning I was watching Papa Bishop David Oyedepo on one of the free-to-air channels. He was preaching and said that you are either for God or for the devil and that coming to church is not a clear indication that you are for God. He also said that the devil has three mandates: to steal, kill, and destroy; but Jesus has come to give us life in abundance  (John 10:10). When he added that, "You are either connected to grace or disgrace."  I began to reflect on the profundity of that statement and it was mind blowing. Following the devil only leads to disgrace: that is, shame, dishonour, destruction and the like. But God gives grace to his followers ("My grace is sufficient to you". "God gives grace to the humble." "... Approach the throne of God with confidence, so you will obtain grace to help in time of need").

What is grace? Simply put, grace means unmerited favour. You did not work for it, you don't deserve it. Favour galore! The favour of God is a shield around his followers. It's based on God's love - Jesus' finished work on the cross. It's what qualifies you to begin to enjoy the grace of God. Have you identified with Christ? Are you on the Lord's side or on the devil's side. It's a choice you must make; there's no neutral position. There's no fence to sit on. Your vote will connect you to grace or disgrace.

I can boldly say like Joshua, "As for me and my house, we'll serve the Lord." What about you? What's your connection? Remember, "Cursed is he that puts his trust in man." May you not be cursed rather may you boldly proclaim that Christ has delivered you from the curse of the law being made a curse for your sake.

Choose life and begin to walk in grace!

Be blessed.
