GRACE, Exploring Its Riches


                                     “Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my
                                     infirmities,  that  the  power  of  Christ  may  rest
                                     upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities,
                                     in  reproaches,  in  needs,  in  persecutions,  in
                                     distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak,
                                     then I am strong”                          (verses 9b-10).


                               The lesson, dear friend, is that no matter what you are faced
                               with now or may be ahead of you in life, the grace of God is
                               sufficient to handle and outlast any challenge or weakness
                               when it is turned over to the Lord.


                                      Grace Driver 3: Divine Assignment


                               The grace of God is activated and set in motion when one
                               yields to the divine assignment for which one was created
                               and born into the world. Each person is created by God to
                               accomplish specific tasks on earth. This is why your greatest
                               discovery and asset in life is to know and comprehend the
                               purpose  you  were  created  and  purpose  for  your  earthly
                               sojourn. Similarly, your greatest accomplishment in life is
                               fulfilment  of  your  divine  purpose,  the  reason  you  were
                               created  and  sent  to  the  world.  It  is  in  the  pursuit  and
                               accomplishment  of  divine  purpose  that  grace  finds
                               expression. The fitting flow of grace in the field divinely
                               assigned  to  us  is  like  fish  in  the  water  or  a  bird  in  the
                               firmament. There is a connection and a flow. The grace of
                               God in the life of a Christian is like lubricant. But when a
                               Christian functions in fields not assigned to him by the
