Spirit-Living Devotional
Apostle Osborn
BE STRONG IN GRACE
[[2 Tim 2:1]] Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
The Apostle Paul in the above admonished his son in the faith – Timothy – to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Two things are revealing in the above:
- There is grace in Christ Jesus. In order words, if you are in Christ (born again), grace is made available to you, or better still, you have access to God’s grace. The grace of God is His divine influence on a man’s spirit that causes the man to outwardly shine.
Grace is what makes one do easily what others struggle to accomplish. When the grace of God is on you, life is easy. The difference between one successful in all things and one programmed for defeat in life is grace. When you are in Christ, however, this divine influence of God is already embellished in your spirit.
- The second thing is that Paul advised young Timothy to be strong in this grace. In other words, Paul told him to take advantage of the grace in Christ. Christianity is the outliving of an inherent divine life. There is something in you that will guarantee success in every area of your life. It is divine. Like Timothy, take advantage of it. Don’t suffer for nothing.
Refuse to carry unwanted burden. Don’t become a victim of sicknesses and diseases. Live triumphantly. There is grace in you to win every day. There is grace made available to you to cause you to accomplish what others find hard to get done. You can be cleared of all your medical conditions if you put the grace of God in you to word.
Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Take advantage of it. Live a victorious life every day. You do this by speaking forth the word of God in faith and with boldness concerning your situation. The word of God is the source of grace. Jesus is the word of God (John 1:1,2). And grace and truth came by Jesus (John 1:14-17).
As we speak the word of God, the grace of God is activated. They work hand-in-hand. When the Apostles spoke forth the word of his grace boldly, signs and wonders were granted them -(Act 14:3). The reason is that the word of God has the grace to build every aspect of your life. Your health, finance, ministry, and family can be built up if you’ll speak God’s word in faith and boldly: grace will be activated for your advantage (Act 20:32). Hallelujah!
Confession:
I thank you, Father, for your word. I declare that the word of God is alive in me. In the name of Jesus, there is health in me. Am healthy and strong. Am a success. Greater is He that is in me. No weapon against me shall prosper. I live above lack. All things work together for my good. I win today and always in Jesus’ name!
