LAY HOLD ON IT

John 1:16 (MGS) “We all live off his generous bounty, gift after gift after gift. We got the basics from Moses and then this exuberant giving and receiving, this endless knowing and understanding – all this came through Jesus, the Messiah”

I want you to understand that faith is a response to grace. This is because faith can only lay hold on what grace had made available. If grace has not made it available, faith has nothing to key hold of. 

The perfect illustration of this is found in 2Kings 4:8-36. 

When Elisha came into this household, there was no child, when he gave the word of the Lord that the woman would have one, she asked the Elisha not to deceive her. So we cannot say the child came because she believed. 

But check out her attitude when the child was attacked, she held on in faith. When she was asked about the child, though he was dead, she answered it is well! Now that grace has made it available, faith is laying hold on to it.

Grace has made all things available for you. Live off His generous bounty, lay hold on it all by faith.

Confession:

What God has for me, it is for me and I know without o doubt the I will possess it.
