The message for this week is “The Essence of Christian Living: Jesus, Grace, Giving.”These three things are the ingredients for salvation. For by grace are we saved through faith and not of ourselves. It is the gift of God. Jesus Christ is our Savior showing that the very nature of God is a giving nature. We learned how to live the Zoë life of Jesus Christ, which is the God kind of life, eternal and abundant life. Grace giving is the essence of Christian living. Grace giving is not to be eliminated by poverty. It is not to be enforced by pressure, intimidation, exhortation, exploitation or manipulation. It is also not to be excused by performance. However, grace giving is to be encouraged by the preaching of the Word. It is also to be enjoyed by partnership and participation in it. We learned how to give willingly, purposefully, and with cheerful hearts because God loves a cheerful heart. The Law of Reciprocity teaches us that we reap what we sow. Therefore what we make happen for others, God will make happen for us. The message was a message of God’s supply, his support, and his surplus. It was a prophetic message from Apostle Holcomb letting the people of God know that according to 2 Chronicles 20:20, if we believe in the Lord our God, we will be established and if we believe His prophets, we will prosper. The Word of the Lord to us was that our broke days are over!
Remember to remain in the place of grace. Remain in the place by Him, in the place by Jesus!
