Dear Saints and faithful brethren in Christ,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father. I am what I am by the grace of God.. Grace makes you a special person. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. This peace is from God the Father. As a minister of Christ, you must know and do the will of God.
The Will of God
" Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God,
and Timothy our brother"( Colossians 1:1).
Paul clearly understood that he is an apostle of Christ Jesus. This apostleship was bestowed upon him by the will of God. An apostle is a special messenger of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus wanted His disciples as His apostles and they came to Him. He appointed the twelve to continue to be with Him. He confessed upon them His Ph.D. degree to the following three works:
| i |
P reach the Gospel |
| ii |
H eal the sick |
| iii |
D rive out the demons |
Those who do this special assignments are called the apostles of Jesus Christ. Are you an apostle? Understanding the will of God is paramount importance in the believer's life. For that, we need God's wisdom ( right application of knowledge is wisdom).
Ephesians 5: 17 says:
" Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is ".
How to understand and firmly grasp the will of God? The Scripture provides three practical steps:
| i |
Look carefully how you walk |
| ii |
Live peaceably and worthily and accurately as wise ( sensible, intelligent people) |
| iii |
Making the very most of the time ( buying up each opportunity ), because the days are evil. |

" ... he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life
abides ( remains ) forever".
( 1 John 2:17 )
The Grace of God
Grace is the ability to move in a smooth and controlled way. Extra time that is allowed for something ( religion ). A short prayer of thanks to God before or after a meal. Graceful: having a smooth, attractive movement or form: a graceful dancer.
" And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord! The Lord! a God merciful
and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving- kindness and truth" ( Exodus 34;6 ).
The Lord is gracious. The grace of God is the favor of God. The favor factor. Favor is the way to the top. Grace is God empowering people to settle in life. The four divine functions of God's grace are beautifully illustrated by the Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 5;10:
=================================================================

| 3. |

=================================================================
By performing these four processes in your life, and after you have suffered a little while,
the God of all grace ( who imparts all blessing and favor ), who has called you to His own eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be. 1 Peter 5:10 is the wonderful Bible Promise about the grace of God. Varieties of techniques are available for Soil ( human beings ) improvement.
The Peace of God
" So let all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But let those who love Him be like the sun when it rises in its might. And the land had peace and rest for forty years " ( Judges 5 :31 ).
All the enemies of the Lord will perish in the nations of the world in the near future. There shall be peace and rest in the land of Israel. Those who love Jesus the Prince of Peace will be like the sun when it rises in its might. You shall experience the peace of God in your life. There shall be a peaceful situation or a period of time in which there is no war or violence in a country or area. The two christian organisations who are now fighting with each other, will manage to live in peace together. The states will be calm and quite who love the word of God and trust in the Living God.
" You will guard him i and keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You" ( Isaiah 26: 3 ).
THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU ALL. AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU.
