ENABLING THE GRACE FOR YEAR2021: It’s In Your PRIMARY And PURPOSEFUL Call!
The enabling GRACE for you to do life and live godly in YEAR2021, is in your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL call in life. That is to be WITH the LORD, wherein you will be EMPOWERED in Him in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM And SPEED.
Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter Year2021 and start marking unfounded New Year RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards.
Herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb these unnecessary artificial display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead.
FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR2020 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR2020. This you do in these wise as an example:
** All those your SELF-WILLED power of rushing hours into your day before its dawn, has it made any difference in you without stress instead of God’s promised rest?
** Those your lengthy days of UNENDING FASTING to prove HOW SPIRITUAL YOU ARE, has it made any remarkable difference in you? Or was it a statuesque to keep, though its a hunger strike and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?
** Have you not wonder that God wants you to THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL? And not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? And to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS? And noting especially all the HARDWORK instead of SMARTWORK you claimed to put in each day to make life WORTH LIVING?
SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; instead of seeing you a SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living; also, my knowing full well that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you can be EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR2020 closing down and YEAR2021 starting up.
It’s your TIME To Be With The LORD to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING Nothing and just watching the day or YEAR2020 go bye into YEAR 2021 new start.
All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands, but to just be with Father God in the name of Jesus – by ONLY and SOLELY MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is in this act THEN He can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR2021 with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and bidding without fail, stress and sweat.
I wants to promise you, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT from God’s PRESENCE than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strenght from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.
I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:
** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life. This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.
In Summary – We are
** We are SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him!
** We are then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed
** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God
** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and not Stress, worry (anxiety), Pressure in walking in our own efforts.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH unto him WHOM he WOULD: and they came unto him. 14 And he ORDAINED twelve, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM, and that he might SEND them forth to preach, 15 and to have POWER to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” (Mark 3:13-15).
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalms 16:11).
“And in the morning, RISING UP a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” (Mark 1:35).
“There remaineth therefore a REST to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” Hebrews 4:9-11.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.
“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.
