Grace For You Today!
Encounter Jesus The King Of Glory On The Mountain & Be Glorified !
““You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord.”
Haggai 1:6-8 NKJV
When things do not go the way we wish to, we often question God. Why me alone ? Have I not toiled much?
My beloved, the question is what have I prioritised in my life?
Prophet Haggai gets a fresh understanding of the LORD of hosts – that the Kingdom of God works on His Grace where human efforts are bare minimum & yet Divine results are maximum. But, much efforts yet little yield, earning well yet not able to make ends meet , saving well but still unnecessary expenses deplete the savings and the like, are contrary to the Kingdom grace.
The Lord Jesus Christ instructed us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all things that we look for will be added to us. “Thy Kingdom Come” consciousness matters most.
Secondly, the Prophet admonishes us to go to the mountain and bring wood which means to go to the Cross of Christ on the Calvary. It is at the Cross we were forgiven completely and declared righteous forever to be blessed forever.
Yes my beloved, it is trusting Jesus’ works that brings blessings and not my obedience/ hard work.
It is resting on His finished work that brings His blessings.
It is not that I worked and I am blessed. It is because Jesus worked that God is bound to bless me .
I simply believe and rest my case on what He has done for me at the Cross of Calvary. Hallelujah!
I simply confess that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and receive His grace( minimum effort but maximum results).
My efforts are simply to believe, receive and confess.
My effort is only that, ‘freely I receive and freely I give’. I am not the end recipient of God’s grace rather I am the means to the end. Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus our RIGHTEOUSNESS !!
