GRACE TO FINISH STRONG

Happy New Year! The grace to complete this year successfully is fully vested upon you. You can never live a mediocre life this year. You will finish strong! Don't limit yourself to what is humanly possible, fall on grace.

The English word grace is from the Latin gratia meaning favour, charm or thanks. Gratia in turn is derived from gratus meaning free, ready, quick, willing, prompt. Webster defines grace as the unmerited love and favour of God which is the spring and source of all benefits men receive from Him, including especially His assistance given man for his regeneration or sanctification.

In the New Testament, the word translated as grace is the Greek word "charis". Strong’s Concordance lists the definition of charis as (a) grace, as a gift or blessing brought to man by Jesus Christ, (b) favour, (c) gratitude, thanks, (d) a favour, kindness.

Grace in simple terms is God's unmerited favour and supernatural enablement and empowerment for salvation and daily sanctification.

Grace is everything for nothing to those who don't deserve anything. Grace is what every man needs, what none can earn and what God Alone can and does freely give.

Paul's prayer for God's grace upon us is still actively in force and will always be at work in the life of every believer till eternity ends and start over again. You have no excuse to perform shallow in this new year. The grace to accomplish great and mighty things is already operating in your life.

The grace that brought you into this new year will see you through the new year and your expectations of the virgin year will never be cut off. When grace speaks, mediocrity, failure, defeat and hopelessness don't talk.

No matter the intimidation from the agents of darkness, grace will preserve you and take you far above all odds and harms.

Joseph was sold into slavery just because of his dreams. But when grace spoke, his buyer resold him into the house of Potiphar, which led him into the land of Egypt where he became second in command. Grace took him from the status of a "slave boy" to the status of a Prime Minister in a foreign land.

Grace does only what cannot be done. That a prisoner and a slave boy to become the next president in a foreign country can only be by an act of grace.

When grace speaks, every step taken by man is ordered by God. The roads may be rough and the immediate expectation may be blunt, but God is at work underneath. No matter the present condition, Grace will speak for you in Jesus name.

The higher God is preparing you to go in life will determine the volume of grace upon you. It is grace that is all you need to fulfil your destiny. That grace is already prayed for you before you entered the new year. Receive that grace in Jesus name.

Forget about the bad times. Remember all the good times the new year is about to bring you. Approach the new season with higher expectations. Start on a high spirit. Don't think poor, aim high. You are the way you see yourself.

Don't dwell on the past. As you have entered the new season every problem, hardship and hard time that passed through the previous year is now in the past. The new year is your new chance with a blank sheet to rewrite your story.

A new year and a new chapter have begun in your life. Approach it in good fate. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of the loving God is backing you for success this year.

Isaiah 43:18 -19 says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!...."

God wants us to know that the past has no power over us and that we can let go of it because we have been renewed by his love, and redeeming grace.

The present problem would not be compared with the glory that will appear in future.

Joseph found himself in prison, but grace brought him out of the prison. Grace rescues and delivers. Are you unjustly accused or being punished? Cry unto God and He will rescue you. Grace brings dreams into reality when you are faithful to Him. Joseph was not moved because he knew that grace would speak.

“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and grace to help us in our time of need.” – Hebrews 4:16
