GRACE HAS SUPPLIED IT
“I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God, which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,” 1 Corinthians 1:4-5 NKJV
Today, I have come your way to let you know that there is grace available for every need. If it is healing you desire, peace in your family, career success, a child, whatever it is, Grace has already supplied it. All you have to do is believe and receive it. Our text makes it very clear that because of Jesus, we have received grace and as a result, we are enriched in every area of our lives. Another translation puts it thus: “In Christ we have been made extravagantly rich in every way” (TPT). With this Grace, comes everything that you desire. 1 Corinthians 1:7 states “so that you come short in no gift…” (NKJV); another translation states “Just think-you don’t need a thing, you’ve got it all. All God’s gifts are right in front of you…” (MSG).
Child of God, as a result of this Grace that you have received, you don’t need anything else. Jesus has done it all! And all you have to do is take it by faith. Faith does not supply anything. Faith can only take what grace has supplied. If Grace has not supplied it, then your faith cannot create it. There is nothing we need in this life that Grace has not supplied. Our assignment as believers is to believe and receive what has been supplied.
If it is healing you need, you should say “Father I thank you because 1 Peter 2:24 states that by the stripes of Jesus, I was healed. Therefore, I receive my healing right now in Jesus name.” If it is a child you want, say, “Father I thank you because Psalms 113:9 declares that it is You who gives childless couples babies, giving them joy as parents. Therefore, I receive my child now in Jesus name.” This is how you should function as a believer.
