MINISTER’S NOTE 4 July 2021
Pain and suffering have become part of life. We
who are followers of Jesus Christ have to walk by
faith, confident that all of God’s dealings with us
are in love, even when we can’t make any sense of
what’s happening.
In 2 Corinthians 12: 9, Paul tells us of God’s answer
to his prayer: “My grace is sufficient for you: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness.” Even though
God didn’t answer Paul’s prayer in the way Paul
had hoped, the answer God gave amounts to one
of the greatest promises of God. Grace is defined
as the unmerited favour of God, and the Scriptures
make it clear that God’s grace is sufficient and
available to meet the whole range of human
needs.
God’s grace is sufficient for whatever trials and tribulations
life might bring our way. Some troubles we
may be delivered from, but others we must bear,
but God makes available grace to bear them. God
will use the storms of life to strengthen us so that we
not only will be blessed ourselves, but will become
instruments of grace, so that we can also be a
blessing to others.
Therefore, go boldly to the throne of grace to find
grace to help for whatever hurts and challenges
you’re facing. God’s grace is sufficient to enable
you to have victory in spite of everything.
Every blessing
Vuyelwa
