The Grace Faith

The Lord Jesus speaks about His flesh as the bread which is broken for the life of the world. This is the perfect physical health. The Lord Jesus had to demonstrate this in His earthly ministry; that the dead were resurrected and many sickly people received healing. We can take a look at the woman who was bleeding for 12 years; she touched His garment and she was healed. In Him was and is life and healing. Look at what the bible says, “I am the bread of life (zōē). Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die” (John 6:48-50). Is the Lord Jesus speaking about the spiritual life? He says their forefathers ate manna and are dead , not spiritually but physically because spiritually they were already dead. The word zōē means life , not eternal life or spiritual life. Those who eat His flesh, the bread of life they shall not die. This does not imply that they will live forever on ear...

When the grace of God comes into our lives, many things in our lives change. When the grace of God comes into your family today your whole house will be transformed. We saw the difference in the house of Abraham. When the Lord found Abraham in Genesis 12 when He told him to leave Haran, Abraham’s did not life altogether. When the grace of God came upon him; when he believed on the Lord everything changed including his name changed and his wife’s name also. I want to discuss their names and show you the significance of their names and the letters which the Lord added. The name of Abraham was Abram. This name is without the letter ‘H’ , which ‘H’ in Hebrew is ‘He’ the prefix for the word ‘Hesed’ . The word Hesed in English is translated as Grace . The word ‘He’ is also number five in the Hebrew writing. In Hebrew language, their numbers are also alphabets like, Aleph (A or 1), Beth (B or 2), Gimel (C or 3), Daleth (D or 4) and He (H or 5). For this reason, I would ...

One of the biggest fears some leaders and pastors have on grace is to tell people to rest in the finished work of Christ. They believe that it is through faith that one is saved, but after that they need to perform because faith without action is dead. Well, ‘faith without action is dead’ fanatics do not understand the context of the passage. When James began that topic, it was clear that the focus was horizontal, meaning that the actions of faith are mundane necessity and not celestial requisition. The infidels usually judge believers according to their behaviour and not according to their faith. Would you call Abraham righteous if you knew that he went in to his maid trying to obtain a child by her? Absolutely not! But in God’s eyes he was still righteous; of course Sarah is the one who pressurised Abraham to do it, but still Abraham had the choice to refuse. He didn't lose his righteousness, however let's not be blind and think that it is not a problem to live in...

“For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshippers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins” (Hebrews 10:1-3). The Torah is made up by the first five books of the Old Testament, namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. However, the law starts in the book of Exodus when Moses descended the Mount Sinai in Arabia. The book of Genesis it is when there was no law whereby the age was on pure grace. However, this book was marked as the Torah, maybe it is because most of the laws were emanated from it or for the fact that it is the book of Moses. We do have tithing in the book of Genesis and ...

Christians today are in contention arguing about which is the correct gospel. Others claim that grace is the cause for licentiousness among the Christendom. However, that is not what the bible says about grace. The arguments are that, if you claim that once saved, always saved there is no way you will care for your salvation because you are not going to lose it no matter how hard you can live in sin. Some leaders want it to be on their shoulders that their members live a holy life while they themselves fail. This is the work of grace that you live a life worthy of your calling. If a leader or pastor will be able to make his congregation to live according to the way God wants, who will get the glory? God and the pastor will get the glory. It will also make this pastor to even have a difficulty in solely praising the Lord because he manages to make people to live a godly life. I know some people feel like that is how a leader should be, to take control of their lives. Your life ...

Justification of Works in the Christendom “Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.’ So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, ‘He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner’” (Luke 19:1-7). This man was well-known of being a robber and a sell-out. Remember that in those days Israel was under the Roman Empire, which was governed by Caesar. So Zacchaeus working for this Governor of the Roman Empire was like a black South African policeman oppressing his fell...

Works as Per in the Seven Churches  This topic will clarify all questions and confusions one has pertaining to grace and works. No matter what, I still believe that only faith saves apart of works, because this is how Abraham was justified and called the friend of God. Abraham had no good works but only believed in the Lord. We could only see his good works when he took Isaac to offer him on the altar of holocaust. Many of us think that this the time with which the Lord justified him. Well, he was justified about 20 years before that, because even Ishmael was not yet born when he was justified. Justification of Abraham was not in works but in faith. However, we find the Lord Jesus in the book of Revelation identifying the angels of the Churches by their works first before everything else. Let us see the references in the bible, “I know your works, your labour, your patience...” (Revelation 2:2). This is in the Church in Ephesus. What He knows first is the works of the...
