Theme: The Giving Grace
Topic: The Grace to Impact Lives
Romans 12:6
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
God has given us different graces for different assignments. Some in the Church at Rome had the grace to prophesy, others to minister, etc. (Romans 12:6-8). The Corinthian Church also had people with the grace for faith, utterance, knowledge, etc. The Macedonian Church also had a special grace – the giving grace – which is very necessary, if lives will be impacted (2 Corinthians 8:1-7).
The Macedonian Church, though in deep poverty, were rich in giving. They supported the apostles and other believers even in their poverty. You do not have an excuse not to make impact on others’ lives. When God had only one Son, He did not hesitate to sacrifice Him for you and I (John 3:16). You can get enough out of your little to impact lives.
Apostle Paul said “I am who I am by the grace of God (1 Corinthians 15:10).” This is true for you also. God has never ceased given to us. You may have the grace to make money, but it will be of no benefit if you do not have the giving grace to impact lives and glorify God with that money. Look out for someone on the ground, and lift that person up. Impact a life today!
Prayer Assignment:
1. Pray that the Lord will make you abound in the giving grace.
