ALL GRACE
Dearly Beloved, I welcome you to the first Sunday in the month of June, 2020. Every new month, new week, day, hour is an opportunity for us to give God the praise for being so gracious to us. It is indeed of His mercies that we are not consumed, and so we thank Him for another new month in the land of the living. I believe God with all my heart that this will be a month of victory for you, all grace will speak on your behalf. The years the locusts and cankerworms have eaten shall be restored unto you in the name of Jesus.
It is no longer news that we are in an unprecedented time in the history of mankind. The media is awash with news that is causing men’s hearts to faint. It’s been from one global crisis to the other. No country is immune to the catastrophes, and yet, in the midst of all these, God has assured us that All Grace has been deployed on our behalf.
I know that for some of you, the events of this past month have made you sad, made you cry, made you question if God is still for you. Yes, you entered into the year with great expectations and five months down the line, nothing seems to have happened. You have fasted and prayed, yet, it appears that the heaven has become brass and the earth iron. But Child of God, don’t be moved by the lies of the devil, this is still your year of All Grace, God will establish you, strengthen, perfect and settle you (1Peter 5:10). Beloved, restoration time is here and nothing will stop it.
In view of this, I encourage you with the words of Apostle Paul in Hebrews 10:35-36 (NLT) “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”
Child of God, you will not miss out in Jesus’ name. You will reap all that the Lord has promised you, so don’t cast away your confidence. Don’t give up and don’t give in. As you listen to the testimonies of others today, hold on and declare to yourself that this month of June is your month. Even in the midst of the crisis, I’m still receiving incredible testimonies of healing, deliverance, financial abundance, open doors, amongst others and I know that the same God who has done it for one will do it for you; “…for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.” (Romans 10:12 KJV) The very fact that He has done it before is proof that you will not be denied.
God is too faithful to fail. Like the songwriter says, “He is too faithful to fail, too faithful to disappoint us.” Beloved, keep your eyes on Jesus, and you will not see shame (Psalms 34:5). I declare speed and accuracy over your life. Expect All Grace to be manifest in all areas of your life. I bless you in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Maranatha!
