ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2022Today’s Theme: ⛪ BE STRONG IN HIS GRACE“Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus”.Text: 2 Timothy 2:1MESSAGEGrace is the unmerited favour of God. Grace is God’s goodwill for his people. Christians have grace without measure in themselves, but he hath not retained it for himself. As the reservoir empties itself into the pipes, so hath Christ emptied out his grace for his people. “Of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” He seems only to have in order to dispense to us. He stands like the fountain, always flowing, but only running in order to supply the empty pitchers and the thirsty lips which draw nigh unto it. Like a tree, he bears sweet fruit, not to hang on boughs, but to be gathered by those who need. Grace, whether its work be to pardon, to cleanse, to preserve, to strengthen, to enlighten, to quicken, or to restore, is ever to be had from him freely and without price; nor is there one form of the work of grace which he has not bestowed upon his people. As the blood of the body, though flowing from the heart, belongs equally to every member, so the influences of grace are the inheritance of every saint united to the Lamb; and herein there is a sweet communion between Christ and his Church, inasmuch as they both receive the same grace.Christ is the head upon which the oil is first poured; but the same oil runs to the very skirts of the garments, so that the meanest saint has an unction of the same costly moisture as that which fell upon the head.This is true communion when the sap of grace flows from the stem to the branch, and when it is perceived that the stem itself is sustained by the very nourishment which feeds the branch (JOHN15:5)“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing”.JOHN15:5.As we day by day receive grace from Jesus, and more constantly recognize it as coming from him, we shall behold him in communion with us, and enjoy the felicity of communion with him.Let us make daily use of our riches in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:7), and ever repair to him as to our own Lord in covenant, taking from him the supply of all we need with as much boldness as men take money from their own bank.“That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7)PRAYERSHeavenly Father, I thank you for your grace given to me in Christ Jesus.I am grateful for keeping me and sustaining my life and family.Help me Lord to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Empower me with the right knowledge.Strengthen me with the strength of the Lord and help me to fulfill my destiny in Christ Jesus in Jesus might name, Amen.This day my stepping out is blessed and anchored on Christ.My plans and desire are in thy hands, Lord make my desire and plans safe and sound in Christ Jesus.Father, make me strong in the grace you have given to me in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Empower my going out and coming today, and bless all my abilities in Jesus mighty name Amen.FURTHER BIBLE READINGPSALM 84:11, ZECHARIAH 4:4-7; EPHESIANS 2: 4-7⛪BIBLE READING PLAN FOR THE YEARMORNING: GENESIS CHAPTERS, 5-6.EVENING: MATHEW CHAPTERS, 5-6.💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Hammer Word Cares ⛪
