EVIDENT GRACE
“When Barnabas got there and saw how God had blessed them with undeserved grace, he was very glad. So he begged them to remain faithful to the Lord with all their hearts.”
Acts 11:23 (CEV)
Main Text: Main text: Acts 20:32
In the Hebrew language Grace translated as “CHEN” to bend or stoop in kindness to another as a superior to an inferior. In the Greek tongue its translated to “Cháris” this simply means pleasing or charming. When used in reference to God, it is the benevolent action of Him stooping down to us in His kindness to reach us in our need and convey upon us a benefit. His grace has been termed 'unmerited favor' but it is more than an attitude of favor or mercy. His mercy is an expression of His compassion toward us, but His grace is an extension of benevolence translated into action that releases His enabling power into our lives.
When something is evident, it means it’s noticeable, inescapable, obvious, distinct, vivid, and overt. One of the promises of God this year 2023 from God through the Apostle is that God is going to be manifesting Himself in our midst via Evident Grace. Remember God is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man to repent (Numbers 23:19) also take note that His promises towards you are ye and amen (2 Cor 1:20).
This year, those around you would testify of the grace of God that surrounds you! In your business, careers, academic pursuit, the outstretched arm of the Lord will be directed towards you and men will testify of the grace of God upon your life.
Confession:
This year 2023, I experience divine upliftment in my finances, business, and all areas of my life. The evident grace of the Lord manifests in my finances, and spiritual work with the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
