TODAYS DEVOTIONAL. August 23rd,2014. (Excerpts From Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). GRACE IS NOT A LICENCE FOR LAZINESS. 1 corinthians 15:10. But by the grace of God I am: and by his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more than they all: yet not I,but the grace of God which was with me. There is general misconception that since God can do all things then you really do not need to do anything other than to wait. This God will do it mentality is however not consistent with the word of God. In fact,it contradicts the word of God. We see throughout scriptures that Gods promises only comes to pass when recipients plays his part in obedience to what God instructs. Noahs Ark was not built by God;neither did God train Davids mighty men for battle. Paul in our text today also talks about how much he labored in ministry,attributing his success to the grace of God. These men noticed that God had given them grace to accomplish a thing,then they put in all their time,energy and resources into making it happen. Gods grace is given to us so we might labor! This grace is like grease or oil that reduces friction in work,thereby making work easy and multiplying output. Going by this understanding,it is important that you develop a strong work culture or ethic that matches the level of grace or responsiblility that God has given you. Go to work today ready to labor by grace and Go to bed every day convinced that you have given your best to your job,your spouse and to God. The grace of God is not a licence for laziness;it multiplies the output from your labor. Glory to God! ISAIAH PROPHESIES: let the grace of God multiply your result in Jesus name. DO THIS:consider if your labor matches with the level of grace upon your life. If no,take example from Apostle Paul today and act likewise. SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I accomplish more with the grace of God upon me. ---- OTHER RESOURCES: Continuous Prayer & Christian Mission Focus: devotionalbox/read_devotional.php Topical Study: devotionalbox/topics.php Chat with other users: devotionalbox/discussion.php You can also order the print edition of Devotional box by calling +234 813 520 3592.
