God’s Grace

Wasisiza uJehova wasenzela "umusa" (grace). Because God's grace doesn't have to do with anyone's wishes or situation but it is solely based on God's will. Mhlawumbe uma besinalenhlobo yomusa ohamba ngentando yabantu, ukwaziwa, noma i"position" mhlawumbe ngabe abanye bethu abawufumananga!

 

God's grace has nothing to do with qualifications, experience, a clan, backgrounds, riches, Dr's diagnoses or etc. but more to do with God's mercy which is sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9 My grace is sufficient for thee)  You might not be anything to some people but through God's grace you are something to Him! It needs no recommendation or referral but it is just plainly and simply a gift from God.

 

2 Corinthians 3:5,6

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

 

Be it in times of darkness or light always know that "what God has given us no one can take away from us" – Grace!

 

Wasenzela isibele!

The advocate who is Christ

Ummeli onguKristu

 

If we were standing because of our own might we would have been defeated a long time ago but because He stood for us and represented us, we are where we are today. The reason why anyone who goes to court needs a laywer is that at that point in time you need a DEFENDER and a REPRESENTER someone who will stand on your behalf. Listen! During that time your lawyer as your representer understands as far as the court language that you wouldn’t understand on your own! Your lawyer understands the times and proceedings that you wouldn’t understand on your own!

 

Some people stood on their own and lost their cases because they thought they can do it alone (babhayiza!). They said things that they weren’t supposed to say and they did things that they weren’t supposed to do and all at the end it costed them their case. Sthandwa sikaThixo mawusuke umqondo wokuthi ungazenzela uwedwa! Uyamdinga uJesu empilweni yakho enguMmeli wakho. Lingaze likulahle icala kanti unoMmmeli

 

1 John 2:1

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous

 

Uma besime ngawethu amandla ngabe kade sanqotshwa.

There are children who died during this time of the year!

There are children who died during this time!

 

Matthew 2:16-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. ¹⁷ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:

¹⁸ "A voice was heard in Ramah,
    weeping and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
    she refused to be comforted, because they are no more."

 

Don't be shocked why there is so much happening during this time of the year where we should be celebrating the birth of Christ instead people forget and follow the world because during that time of the birth of Chirst we are aware that there are children who were killed "according to the time that Herod had ascertained from the wise men".

 

Be careful that the child Christ born in you Christ isn't killed during this time of the year! Some are killed through lies, envy, jealousy, etc. but we so many Christians lose the child Christ during this time of the year.

 

1 Kings 3:16-28 Contemporary English Version (CEV)

16 One day two women[a] came to King Solomon, 17 and one of them said:

Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. Not long ago my baby was born at home, 18 and three days later her baby was born. Nobody else was there with us.

19 One night while we were all asleep, she rolled over on her baby, and he died.

 

What's sad is that the child Christ doesn't just die in a Christians life but the child is killed by our recklessness. Let Christ not die in you but let Him be born instead!

Not everyone who you grow close to or who comes close to you cares about you.

Not everyone who you grow close to or who comes close to you cares about you.

 

Judges 16 : 4-5

Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”

 

However in every situation that you face God’s purpose for you is bigger than you.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, TO GO TO JESUS.

Even if they can try to harm you but since they can’t harm your source then it ISN’T over!

Even if they can try to harm you but since they can't harm your source then it ISN'T over!

 

Gen.26:15-17

For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

 

I'm bothered by this act of the enemy stopping or closing or even taking away something that you've worked so hard to mine. Let me tell you something the enemy is scared of your success and not only that but the enemy is scared of the strength that you receive from your source. It is even worse when you know that your source is Jehovah because no matter how many times the enemy fails because of his fear (satan) he won't stop until you give up.

 

Tell me who are you satisfying when you give up? Is it you? No! or God! Absolutely not but you will surely satisfy the enemy from that. Lempi akusiyo eyenyama (efesu 6:12)! What I love about Isaac the man of God didn't fight back but he knew that his place was in God. After digging up three more well's (Esek, Sitnah, Rehoboth) they still fought him but he never gave up. Why? Because no matter who tries to harm us whoever that is cannot harm Jehovah the God of hosts!

 

Gen.26:24

And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake

Sometimes you are delayed just because you haven’t learned the lesson that God wants you to learn…

Sometimes you are delayed just because you haven't learned the lesson that God wants you to learn…

 

Joshua 5:6

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

 

You can never go to the next grade until you've passed your current grade. Each grade has its own curriculum and everyone is required to pass that curriculum in order for them to progress to the next. Your life might feel like its rounding in circles and you're not progressing only to find out that there are still a lot of lessons that you haven't learned because every situation presents an opportunity for you to learn a lesson and pass it.

 

The children of Israel were rounding in circles in the wilderness for forty years just because they had to learn the hard way that the voice of God needs to be obeyed. Amazingly what took them 40 years to learn took 40 days for the King of kings Jesus Christ to learn who was in the very same environment (Matthew 4:1-11).

 

I always say if God has granted you the opportunity to wake up in the morning then that means you still have a chance to change your ways. USomandla uyalalelwa!!!
