James 4: 6, “God gives grace to the humble”.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of the Lord is taken from the book of James 4: 6, “God gives grace to the humble”.
Grace is very important in the life of a man. Grace is something, given by God, to a person, who doesn’t deserve to receive any good thing. This is the sheer grace of God. He gives you grace because He loves you.
To whom does God give grace? Grace is the gift of God and it is given to those who humble themselves before God. If one wishes to live life to the fullest and move forward in life and enjoy the goodness of God, then he should have the grace of God, which is very important in life. The Bible says, God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Therefore, you need to remove all the pride from your heart. You should discard all things about which you are proud of. You should give up this pride from your heart and be humble.
We can read in the Bible about Mary the mother of Jesus, who said to the angel, in a humble manner, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). She was so humble that God decided that she should give birth to Jesus the Saviour of the World. The angel appeared before Mary and said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour or grace with God’.
For Jesus to be born in the womb of Mary was the plan and will of God the Father. Mary received the grace of God to conceive and bring forth a male child and call His name JESUS. That Is why the angel tells Mary, ‘You have received favour from God’. God had given Mary the grace to beget the saviour of this world. God had made her qualified to conceive Jesus in her womb even though she was a virgin. Isn’t it wonderful!
My dearly beloved, God is looking at you today and saying that, “My grace will help you to live”. You have been saved by God through His grace to lead your life. Today God is placing that anointing of grace upon your head. God Bless you!
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse, “God gives grace to the humble”. May they receive the grace of God and make them qualified to obtain the blessing. Let this grace help them to obtain their preferred job, own house, good life partner. May the grace of God, cause them to receive the Visa for their children to go abroad. Let this grace help them to conceive and bear a child. Honour all those who are waiting for a gift of a child, by helping them to conceive and bring forth a child. Lord, you have said, “For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, But My grace shall not depart from you. Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed”. May the peace of God abide with them.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
