Although saved by Grace, most believers live life surviving by the works of The Law.

The works of The Law are one’s own efforts to attain or obtain The Promises of GOD (Salvation, and Things that accompany Salvation).

Salvation, and Things that accompany (Hebrews 6:9), are all by Grace. And nothing else.

The problem is, most believers run after things like the world, instead of seeking first The Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness, Who will then give them the things He has for them.

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your Heavenly FATHER knows that you need all these things. But seek first The Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:31-33.

“He Who did not spare His Own SON, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:32.

A Major Reason why GOD has saved us is,

“that in The Ages To Come He might show The Exceeding Riches of His Grace in His Kindness toward us in CHRIST JESUS. For by Grace you have been saved through Faith, and that not of yourselves; it is The Gift of GOD, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:7-9 emphasis added.

The same Exceeding Riches of His Grace that GOD has for us in The Coming Age, are available to us now in this age by “The Powers of The Coming Age” (Hebrews 6:5).

GOD supplies all our need according to His Riches in CHRIST JESUS (Philippians 4:19).

We REIGN in life (not survive in life) by the Abundance of Grace and of The Gift of Righteousness we have in JESUS CHRIST.

“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive Abundance of Grace and of The Gift of Righteousness will reign in life through THE ONE, JESUS CHRIST.” Romans 5:17.

Having all sufficiency is by All Grace given to us by GOD:

“And GOD is able to make All Grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 emphasis added.

The Promises of GOD to us are already prepared by Him for each one of us His children.

As I said before, The New Covenant in THE BLOOD OF JESUS was cut in A FURNISHED and PREPARED Upper Room, Which Venue signified GOD’s Promises of “all things are now ready” “furnished and prepared” for us in CHRIST JESUS (Luke 14:17; Mark 14:15).

GOD has Things already prepared for us to obtain from Him, but they are only revealed by HIS SPIRIT:

‘But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man The Things Which GOD has prepared for those who love Him.” But GOD has revealed them to us through HIS SPIRIT. For THE SPIRIT searches all things, yes, The Deep Things of GOD.“ 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

Our need then is to surely seek THE HOLY SPIRIT to reveal to us The Things He has for us, and have Him help us to obtain same.

JESUS said “Without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Yet many do business, career, education, ministry, politics, etc. without Him.

Is it wealth? HE gives us The Power to get it, to establish His Covenant with us.

“And you shall remember THE LORD your GOD, for it is He Who gives you Power to get wealth, that He may establish His Covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18 emphasis added.

Whatever amount of money, house, vehicle, job/career, education, business, ministry, wife, husband, children, and other GODly things you will ever need, GOD already has all for you before you were even born.

But you have to seek Him through intimate fellowship, worship, praise, prayer, THE WORD, repentance, spiritual warfare, etc. daily, and His HOLY SPIRIT will reveal them to you.

Selfish ambitions are Satan’s ambitions to deceive and destroy.

Therefore, don’t do your own things; seek and do only The Things THE LORD has for you.

“For we are His Workmanship, created in CHRIST JESUS for Good Works, which GOD prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10.

“Therefore do not be unwise, but understand What The Will of THE LORD is.” Ephesians 5:17.

We are saved by Grace; we can only thrive by Grace.

By the works of The Law no flesh shall be justified (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16).

Again, the works of The Law are one’s own efforts to attain or obtain The Promises of GOD (Salvation, and Things that accompany Salvation).

Whatever we seek must be from GOD, and by His Grace. Not our own efforts.

Whatever effort we make must be by His Grace: His Will, Direction, Provision and Protection.

“…And walking in The Fear of THE LORD and in The Comfort of THE HOLY SPIRIT they were multiplied.” Acts 9:31.

This is true prosperity.

It is HOLY SPIRIT-revealed, -enabled and -led.

 

“The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:22.
“Farewell” Acts 15:29.

Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
