KINDNESS: THE SECRET TO GRACE

10/15/2023

"Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday" (Isaiah 58:9-10).

The quickest way to short-circuit the power of God in your life is to criticize or say things that go against God's will. While our God is unconditional with His gifts, we can place blessing blockers on our path and limit our capacity to receive.

Today's theme scripture says, "Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday" (Isaiah 58:9-10). 

This is saying that to experience speed and expansion in life, you must treat people right. And not only in your close relationships but everyone you encounter. 

Be polite, child of God, and let grace season your tongue (Colossians 4:6). Titus 3:2 adjures us "to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men." This is one secret to tapping and walking in God's grace. 

Saints, we have no excuse for not being kind to people. The Spirit of God is reminding us of this at this time because of the temptations that will present to justify unkindness. So, when you get that phone call from that person you wished would not call, answer with grace and a smile. Remember that God's got your back this month. So let nothing disturb your peace because it has been ordained to spread about you like a river. 

Have a beautiful day. 

Faith-Filled Confession

I am full of the love and kindness of God every day. And by these, I magnetize people, providing them with a safe space to thrive, be happy, and honor the Lord.

Hallelujah!

Prayer of Salvation

If you are not yet born again, I invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by saying these words of prayer:

"Oh Lord God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Your word says, "…that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. I believe Jesus died for me and that he was buried and raised from the dead. Right now, I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life. I receive by faith eternal life into my spirit. Thank you, Lord for saving my soul. I now have Christ dwelling in me. I am saved, I am born again, I am a new creation. 

Hallelujah!

Congratulations! You are now a child of God. Welcome to this great family!
