GRACE PROVIDES EVERYTHING NOT ENOUGH

Monday, May 14, 2012 in accept, enough, Esau, everything, Grace, graciously favor, Jacob

It trilled my heart, full of excitement and thanksgiving and praising God for the wonderful gift of grace, when the Holy Spirit opened my eye to this spiritual and higher truth about GRACE. Oh my God; how excellent is your name.! For many years in my life, I have had this perception that God's grace was just enough for me. So by faith in Christ I perceived the grace for my finances,health,work,family and ministry as being enough. But little did I know that God's provision for us as Christians is not just enough but rather everything. Now, the word 'ENOUGH' simply means; as much as one can take. For example; a bottle can be filled to the brim but that is just enough for that bottle. It does not suggest in any way that the source of the substance has finished. But the word "EVERYTHING" means; all that there is to pour. Whereas 'enough' speaks of the recipient, 'everything' speaks of the source. Hallelujah! Read this; "And Esau said, I have plenty, my brother; keep what you have for yourself. But Jacob replied, No, I beg of you, if now I have found favor in your sight, receive my gift that I am presenting; for truly to see your face is to me as if I had seen the face of God, and you have received me favorably. Accept, I beg of you, my blessing and gift that I have brought to you; for God has dealt graciously with me and I have everything. And he kept urging him and he accepted it. (Genesis 33:9-11 AMP)" Praise the Lord! Esau spoke of himself but Jacob spoke of his source. He said, " for God has dealt graciously with me and I have everything." Do you also realize that he said, "I had seen the face of God"? Amazing grace. Have you seen God? Do you know His son Jesus the Christ?. Read John 14:8&9. "Philip said to Him,Lord, show us the father;then we will be satisfied. Jesus replied, have I been with all of you for so long a time, and you do not recognize and know me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the father......"(AMP) 1John 5:12 "he who has the son has life......." Jesus is grace and receiving grace means having everything in Him.
