You Have His All

You Have His All John 17:22 – "And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them." Behold the superlative liberality of the Lord Jesus, for He hath given us His all. Although a tithe of His possessions would have made a universe of angels rich beyond all thought, yet was He not content until He had given us all that He had. It would have been surprising grace if He had allowed us to eat the crumbs of His bounty beneath the table of His mercy; but He will do nothing by halves, He makes us sit with Him and share the feast. Had He given us some small pension from His royal coffers, we should have had cause to love Him eternally; but no, He will have His bride as rich as Himself, and He will not have a glory or a grace in which she shall not share. He has not been content with less than making us joint-heirs with Himself, so that we might have equal possessions. He has emptied all His estate into the coffers of the Church, and hath all things common with His redee

Grace For Service

Grace For Service  Ephesians 3:7 – Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power  The distinguishing factor in life when all preparations are made is grace. Races are not won without God. The fastest runner and the strongest fighter do lose contest. God and Grace is the determining factor! Ecclesiastes 9:11.  Grace is Jesus (Titus 2:11, John 1:14) and service is not possible without grace (Ephesian 3:7). To have grace is to believe in Jesus and to accept Him. There is no service that can’t be discharged when grace is evident and speaking in a human’s life (2 Corinthians 12:9). It was the grace of God upon Jesus that made Him to win the battle (Luke 22:41-44, Hebrews 2:9).  Also, God’s grace today (the person of Jesus) has made us to be heirs of God’s kingdom, discharging our duties by equipping our weaknesses. (Titus 3:7).  Shalom!

Don’t Leave Your Calling

Don’t Leave Your Calling 1 Corinthians 7:20 – "Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called." Some persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas! how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High if this were the case. Beloved, it is not office, it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace which will enable us to glorify God. God is glorified by our serving Him in our proper vocations. Take care, dear reader, that you do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care you do not dishonour your profession (faith, belief, confession of Christ) while in it. Think little of yourselves, but do not think too little of your callings. Every lawful trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and you will find the most menial forms of labour connected either with most daring
