Matthew 6:11
In the world you shall have tribulation and
temptation Christ saith. We are often troubled, attacked and tempted, we are
always confronted with challenging situation; things that struggle to make us
loose faith in our beliefs in God, things that make us loose faith in our
beliefs in what God can use us do to the society and so on. Though devil
launches new attack every morning, God gives new grace every morning too to
counter the effect.
You can excel if you have the divine
ability (grace/provision) to face the trouble and temptation on your day to day
encounters.
In the Lord’s Prayer, Christ taught we
always come to God on daily basis to receive His daily strength to fight the
trouble and temptations in this world. You are easily tempted to fornicate,
easily tempted to drink, easily tempted to steal, easily tempted to lie, and
easily tempted to do something wrongly.
Each time you come before God every
morning, consciously ask for the grace to excel. Ask for the anointing to
destroy the plans of the devil against you for that day, ask for the divine
knowledge/wisdom to know and to do what needs to be done on that day, ask for
the way out to every temptation that would come to you (remember Christ said in
matt. 18 that temptation must surely be coming), ask for the grace to discover
something new that would be beneficial to you, ask for divine direction for
what you could do that would be beneficial to the kingdom of God on that day.
It’s not about height someone has achieved
in Christ, anytime you stop asking for daily grace from that moment, you start
digging your grave.
Prayer: Lord, help me not to in anyway and for
any reason neglect my early morning personal devotions with you that I might
always receive the grace for excellence.
God bless you.
