TOPIC: FOCUS ON YOUR GRACE!
SCRIPTURE: GALATIANS 2:1-10
Welcome to today’s devotional! Vs. 7 of today’s scripture declares: “But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter.” THE ALL-WISE GOD knows you and He knows what assignment He created you for. PAUL WAS GIVEN THE GOSPEL OF uncircumcision, WHILE PETER was given the GOSPEL OF CIRCUMCISION. The Holy Ghost is sending a warning today: DO NOT ENVY OTHERS! DISCOVER AND FOCUS ON YOUR DIVINE CALLING! FOCUS on the GRACE given to you.
Vs. 9 says: “And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.” Thank God others PERCEIVED THE GRACE given to PAUL and they encouraged him. Envy can be defined as the art of counting the blessings of others instead of your own! Appreciate God for where you are and who you are!
That is why in life, it is good to manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness and have a few desires! Always remember François Duc de La Rochefoucauld: “Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.” Wow! Note this: Of the seven deadly sins, envy is a BOOMERANG! Admire others but never envy them because God made you SPECIAL!
If you want to live a happy and abundant life, start focusing on all you have! Start to recognize all your blessings. Appreciate what you have – your gifts and your calling! If you don’t focus on your GRACE NOW and it is taken away from you, time will make you appreciate what you had. May you not look back and cry: HAD-I-KNOWN! Pray seriously now.LET GOD USE YOU. SOW INTO THE ODM CHILDREN “CHURCH” (MOUNTAIN) PROJECT. Sow into any account on page 29 of this booklet. It will speak for your children and those unborn (Generational blessings). Amen.
