God's Grace, Our Responsibility

1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJV)But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

The grace of God should make you responsible, not a lazy excuse maker. 

It is a divine empowerment to be productive in every area of life, not an excuse to live carelessly. The grace of God is applicable for every area of your life. For example, just because you are a career woman doesn't give you the right to neglect your family at the expense of climbing up the ladder and making it to the top of your career field. God's grace is big and strong enough to empower you to be a wonderful wife, a marvelous mom, a success in your career and much mmore. 

The same goes for a student, a student should be disciplined if he/she wants to be successful. He/she must attend all classes on time, be attentive, take out time to study, complete assignments, etc to excel. He/she shouldn't have a nonchalant attitude, thinking "I'll just wing it or say a little prayer before an exam, I won't bother studying". God's grace doesn't work like that, we are to labor or 'put in work' with the grace that we've been given (Colossians 1:29). 

Don't limit God by stopping the flow of his grace in a particular area of your life, he is more than able and willing to empower you for all round success.

Can you be trusted with more grace? What are you doing with the grace you've been given thus far?

We ought to represent God with the grace that we've been given, always putting ourselves in Jesus' shoes and following the example he left for us while he lived on Earth. Jesus came endowed with grace and truth, he accomplished all that he did on Earth by this grace (John 1:17). God's grace is a gift, it is to be cherished and handled with care (Ephesians 2:8).

There is a question that has been asked over and over again, Can a person have it all? The answer is YES! That's why Jesus came(John 10:10). God desires that we enjoy the best of all things and function at our best in every area of our lives, that's why he sent Jesus. 

Never settle for average or good enough, anyone can do that without trying. We need to know that our reference point is not of this world, we take out reference from above. The sky is not our limit, it is our starting point (Ephesians 2:6;John 3:31)

As I stated earlier, Jesus is the embodiment of grace and truth. He came to endow us with power from on high and reveal to us the truth about who he is in us and who we are in him (Colossians 1:27). We are unstoppable, unmovable, and unshakable with the grace of God working in us, for us, with us, and through us. Let it flow, take responsiblity for all that has been committed into your hands. Don't let your calling, gifts, talents, and skills go to waste. They were given for you to be a blessing to others, not to hoard them.

Don't waste God's grace!

Confession: Father in the name of Jesus, I declare that release myself for your grace to flow through every area of my life for your glory.

Prayer starter: In the name of the Lord Jesus, Father I come to you today and ask that you reveal any area of my life in which I have hoarded your grace. Amen

You're blessed!
