Praying For Open Doors of Grace
21 Days Fasting and Prayer for Open Doors. Our Night of Divine Encounter comes up on the last day 4th February - Today's Prayer Theme: Praying For Open Doors of Grace. Join us on Friday, February 4th, 2021 for the Night of Divine Encounter between 7pm to 10pm MST. Theme: The Keys of The Kingdom
Praying For Open Doors of Grace
Today, we are going to be praying for open doors of grace. What is grace? Grace is a spontaneous gift from God to people. It is a gift from God that is totally generous, free, totally unexpected and undeserved. According to Charles Swindoll, “Grace is the kindness shown by a superior to an inferior, and there is no obligation on the part of the superior to show this kindness. Grace is a favor that is undeserved and unearned. It is extended fully and freely to those who won’t ever be able to repay it.”
Grace took Abraham an idol worshiper and transformed him to become the father of faith. Out of all the people in the world at that time, grace smiled on him and God made an everlasting covenant with him. Grace decided to use Moses, a murderer and turned him to a great prophet. He was not even ready again for God’s assignment. Moses gave so many excuses to God, yet grace preferred him. Grace turned Apostle Paul, a persecutor into a great preacher. The grace of God is not the product of your work, so you can not boast about it.
Many of us today are products of grace. Your salvation is by grace. We have so many people living in darkness today who have not known Christ. However, that grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. So, the grace is available for all to be saved. After your salvation, grace will also teach you how to live a godly life. Grace will teach you how to say no to ungodliness and to the passion of this world.
Examples of Those Who Experience Open Doors of Grace
God told Apostle Paul that His grace is sufficient for him. This is evidence that there is enough grace for everyone of us to run the race. Apostle Peter denied Jesus Christ three times. Yet, grace made him the leader of the Church after Jesus’ resurrection. The thief nailed alongside Jesus would have never been saved if not for God’s grace. That grace is still available for all of us today. We are going to be praying for open doors of grace. Grace is better than work, because it makes you achieve so much faster effortlessly. You will see great results in all you do and it will be so glaring to all that it is not by your effort but by God’s grace.
