TOUCH OF GRACE

Truly you are serving God but the touch of grace is not there. You are praying indeed but nothing to show for it because there is no touch of grace. Apostle Paul said I am what I am not because of my beauty, not because of my qualifications, not because of my power, not because I can speak but by the grace of God. Through grace he wrote all the epistles. Grace is what covered your errors and coloured your efforts. What are those things that grace will do when it touches your life (1.) Touch of grace removes judgement: If your life is under family curse or spell, the only way out is touch of grace. Jacob cursed Reuben in Genesis 49:1-4 but when grace touched his life in Deuteronomy 33:6; Moses said "Let Reuben live and not die, nor his people be few". (2.) Touch of grace qualifies you for help: It is grace that qualifies you for mercy. Israelites was favoured before Egyptians when they were about to left Egypt and God told Moses for them to asked for whatsoever they needed and Egyptians granted them their desires. That is the work of touch of grace. Isaiah 50:7. Where human merit fails, God's mercy prevails. (3.) Touch of grace causes you to be prefer more than your mate: Romans 9:13-16 (KJV) says "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy". Grace gives you what you don't deserve. (4.) Touch of grace preserves you: 1 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV) says "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall". Likewise the gospel according to St.Matthew 20:16 (KJV) says "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen". (5.) Touch of grace gives all enablements: It enables you, it energizes you to do what you cannot do naturally. You are human, there are lot of things you can't do. Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". It is so difficult for you to pray and fast because there is no touch of grace. Isaiah 40:30-31. (6.) Touch of grace heals your wounded heart: It will cure an injured heart. Psalms 42:5 (KJV) says "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance". There is no sermon that can heal your wounded heart unless the touch of grace. (7.) Touch of grace grants you divine speed: You are walking like a millipede now because there is no touch of grace. Genesis 27:20 says "And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me". Wall cannot stopped Jesus from manifesting his glory, who is he that want to stop you. (8.) Touch of grace releases direction: So many people have been misled because of lack of touch of grace. In Genesis 41, Pharaoh dreamt twice and nobody could interpreted the dreams of the king but there was a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, Joseph , in whom the hand of grace have been touched and God gave him direction to interpreted the dreams. You need the touch of grace for divine direction. Psalms 119:100 says "I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts". (9.) Touch of grace rewrites history: Matthew 21:42 says "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? In conclusion, what to do in order for the grace to touch your life. Hear this and hold unto it, if you want the touch of grace, you need to humble yourself, you are too arrogant, you are full of yourself, even the grace cannot come. Jesus is looking at you afar, some people are father to Jesus, respects been given unto you sometimes are more than what they gave to God. Psalms 138:6 (NAS) says "For though the Lord is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar". Isaiah 42:8 (KJV) says "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images". Return all honours and adorations unto God because He is the owner of all. It is well with your soul in Jesus name... PRAYER POINT: O Lord, sun will never come out half, my glory must not die suddenly.
