HAVING AN “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE”: WHEREIN YOU STAND IN CHRIST JESUS!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore\u00a0being 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\u00a0STAND, and\u00a0rejoice in HOPE of the GLORY of God”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:1-2.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GRACE, the enabling of God to and for us to STAND and BECOME whatsoever we want to be in Him, can be frustrated,\u00a0utilised\u00a0unrighteously and in vain or as a vain thing, where UNDERSTANDING is absent and misleading –\u00a0Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21).<\/b>\u00a0It thus means if only PASSION and KNOWLEDGE\u00a0are\u00a0all we have, the CONSEQUENCE of such is deadly to our walk and work of FAITH to STAND and BECOME, in God, in Christ Jesus\u00a0(Proverbs 21:15; Proverbs 13:15)<\/b>. So it’s very imperative that every decisions – acts of FAITH we dare to put FORTH in the GRACE of God in Christ Jesus stead, must be well UNDERSTOOD, otherwise it will cost us the losses of – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion), and sometimes people’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD, no matter how much we’ve tried. In advancing the KINGDOM CAUSES of our God at any act and intent of living, and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is not enough – UNDERSTANDING is imperative and immeasurable in all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And of the CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT”\u00a0<\/i>1 Chronicles 12:32.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, it’s not enough to be ZEALOUS and PASSIONATE about anything, neither is it enough to be full of KNOWLEDGE; but until you come to the UNDERSTANDING of what you are passionate and knowledgeable about to carry out, you can’t go far to the fullness of what you can be in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing;\u00a0therefore\u00a0get WISDOM: and with all thy\u00a0getting get\u00a0UNDERSTANDING”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 4:7.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s therefore then the need to crave for UNDERSTANDING in the grace of God wherein we STAND as God’s People so that we can be the very best of God’s intent in our REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES, otherwise we will be as good as a fool and\u00a0the\u00a0ignorant. For\u00a0its\u00a0UNDERSTANDING that makes PASSION and KNOWLEDGE meaningful and fulfilling indeed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
