The Law of Moses was based on a reward system, were you have to do something to earn something while the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is based what Jesus did for you earn everything.
Key scripture: Romans 5:17 ~ For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ.
In the above scripture I want us to firstly focus on the part that says we have received an abundance of grace. We must realise that the grace of God has been availed to us in great abundance and not in limited supply. We have received it not by works of the law but it has been supplied by God freely.
Paul in the 2 Corinthians states that God himself told him that his grace is sufficient for him. I believe it meant it was in abundance. Lets read the verse below to get what God told Paul. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. " Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Why have we received an abundance of grace? One may ask that genuine question. It's because God wants us to reign in this life by one Jesus Christ. God desires us to reign as kings and dominate the senses. He longs for every born again believer to reign over sickness and disease, poverty, satanic forces, demons, fear, depression, sin and all other things that are ungodly.
Job 22v28 says "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." When you are reigning, you just decree and declare things and they will come to pass, that is because you have received an abundance of grace. Its time child of God to take your position in this life and begin to reign in your family, stop allowing the devil and his demons to reign in your family bringing sickness and demonic oppression. Enough is enough Satan and his demons must begin to know that there is someone who has chosen to receive the grace of God in abundance in your family and is now ruling by one Jesus Christ.
We are not push overs, we have received the abundance of grace and we are now purposing to reign and rule in this life by one Jesus Christ, who has a name that is above every name. Child of God refuse to be dominated by a defeated devil, you are more than a conquerer through Christ Jesus.
If you want to receive this abundant grace, you need to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior. Pray this short prayer below
Dear Lord God, I acknowledge that I'm a sinner, please forgive me all my sins, I believe that Jesus died for my sins on the cross and rose again for my justification, I receive Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. Amen
