The Theme Of The Month 'The Enabling Grace' - 2 Chronicles 20:1-37

Philippians 4:13 (TPT) “And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty (or to master all things).” The message translation puts it like this, “whatever I have, I am wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.”

Ladies and gentlemen let us start by defining the key words in the theme - The enabling grace.

The (determiner), is defined as, “denoting one or more people or things already mentioned or assumed to be common knowledge. Secondly used to points forward to a following qualifying or defining clause or phrase.

The bible in Jeremiah 5: 22 says, “Have you no respect for me? Why don’t you tremble in my presence? I, the LORD, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the boundaries I set.”

Now, let’s turn our attention to the next keyword, which is the enabling. It just defined as: -

1. Give (someone) the authority or means to do something, make it possible for; 2. Make (a device or system) operational, activate.

The bible equally defines it in Psalms 18:33-34 saying, “He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights. He trains my hands for battle; He strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.”

The third and final word on the theme is, Grace! Which can be defined as: -

1. Smoothness and elegance of movement. 2. Courteous good will. 3. Bring honour or credit to (someone or something) be one’s attendance or participation.

The Bible defines grace, as, the spontaneous unmerited assistance pr gift of the divine favour in the salvation of sinners and the divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration and sanctification (Proverbs 3:3; Philippians 2:13).

Brethren, Apostle Paul goes to say according to the text in Philippians 4:13 “And I find .. this enjoins you and I to self-reflect whether we too have found, realised, apprehended, acknowledged, received, tangible evidence that there is strength in Christ’s explosive power. God supports the believer, but it is the believer’s responsibility to do what he/she has been called by God to do. I decree, receive the enabling grace to live in the new level of life and season.

I pray for someone here or under the echo of my voice that, in this month of June 2023 and beyond, the Lord give you unyielding and impenetrable strength and bless you with His peace according to Psalm 29:11 and Luke 1:36 in Jesus matchless name – Amen.

Consequently, I look forward to hearing your amazing testimonies.

Happy new month! Jesus is LORD!!!
