Grace Is Gods Unmerited Favor

The Grace  of God
Today's scripture
1Cor. 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Devotional
Grace is God’s ability given to us and placed upon us. You are saved by grace, which means that there is nothing you can do to earn your salvation; it is a gift from God.  It is what God has done for you. I have also seen that the disciples prayed that God’s grace would be given to one another often. The bible says there is a gift of grace, just like there is a gift of faith, leadership, encouragement and others. When we depend on God totally for His ability( grace) to work through us, then we look to his ability working through us, and we no longer  have to consider only our own ability but that God is working through us.  That is where the power to overcome difficulties and also to minister to others is found. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Croft's Fantasy


This Saturday, 4th of August Rapper/Producer extraordinaire Croft drops his new single called "Fantasy". I had a chat with the Gweru based man, and he promises fireworks on this one. To date he has not disappointed from his tracks on the "City Call Volume 1 (the great commission)" which he did with Street Preacher, with my personal favourite being "Greater", on to his most recent release "Lost in You" where I could not even pick a favourite as the tracks all had their personal appeal. Take it from me, if you are online on Saturday get this track...

Prayer Relay Movement-August 2012

It is only by his grace that I sit here and type this month's prayer points. July has seen an increased grace for prayer in my life, and as always the more God gives you the more the enemy throws at you. I just take this moment to thank God for his patience with me, and for standing by me even when I do not want to stand by me. This month marks a new fire born inside of me and I trust inside of many of us. It is this month that we begin a campaign to "GET THE WORLD PRAYING AGAIN." Through this campaign God will increase us as intercessors, in number, in faith and in testimony. This is not by my strength, your strength or any man's but the Spirit of the Lord that lives among us.

I challenge you to ask at least one person everyday what they'd like you to pray for. Tell them about our "Prayer Relay Movement" and the facebook group. If you are not able to pray for them yourself post the prayer request on our facebook page and we will all stand together. Be part of this, do not let this opportunity to be part of the move of God pass you by.

That being said, Let me welcome you to yet another month of this "Prayer Relay" for August , “where we run our race and God moves on our behalf.”
