GRACE AS DIVINE ENABLEMENT

 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) says: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”


This scripture is one of the most powerful revelations of how God works in the life of a believer. Paul was facing a difficult moment, something that weakened him and made him feel unable to continue by his own strength. Yet God did not remove the challenge. Instead, He gave Paul grace, a divine empowerment that turns weakness into strength and inability into capability.

God was teaching Paul that His grace is not just unmerited favor, but a supernatural strength that lifts a person beyond human limits. In our moments of weakness, when we feel empty or broken, God does not expect us to survive by our own ability. He steps in with His divine enablement and fills us with His supernatural strength.

When we talk about grace for a fresh start, we are considering grace as divine empowerment to do something that you cannot do by your natural strength and ability. Fresh starts are not always born from happy places. Many times they come after pain, disappointment, or failure. When you choose to start again, you are often weak, discouraged, or even broken inside. This is where grace becomes more than a comforting idea, it becomes the power that lifts you up and helps you rise again.

Grace gives us strength to do what we could never do by our own ability. It empowers you to forgive, to move forward, to rebuild, to overcome, and to try again even when you feel like you have nothing left. That is why God comes to supply you with strength to start over and move on. He does not leave you to figure out life by yourself. His strength becomes your strength, and His power becomes your ability.

So allow Him to perfect you. Your weakness and brokenness are not excuses for agreeing with your condition. You are not meant to stay down. God wants to shape your weakness into a testimony of His strength. When you surrender your brokenness to Him, He lifts you, heals you, and empowers you to start again with courage and confidence.

Prayer: Lord, empower me with Your grace, strengthen my weakness, and help me start afresh with courage.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
