The last three years of my life has made me to know the great Power there is in the GRACE which Christ’s death brought into a broken world.

The G brings the awesome GOODNESS of God upon my life;
The R shows me the REALITY of the REVELATION of the word of God;
In A, I find the great ACCESS to a loving Father in heaven;
The C brings me into God's COVENANT prosperity;
And, now, the E has been making me ENJOY His presence everyday of my life.

THE GOODNESS OF GOD

To operate under the awesome goodness of God means that everything extra-ordinarily good about, in and around God works on one's behalf. Everything dead becomes alive, because He's alive. Hallelujah!

II Peter 1:3 says: "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by His own glory and goodness." (NIV). The gooness of God ushers into one's live, favor from heaven and on earth. This means that everything one does becomes a success. One begins to receive just after or without asking. And life becomes a struggle-free.

We need to know that we do not DESERVE the best from God; but we are only DESIGNED for the best, all because of GRACE.

REALITY OF HIS WORD

The bible makes it known to us that the Word of God is God (John 1:1). It is also a truth that God reveals Himself- His personality- and His plans through His written Word. And the reason you get different revelations from a verse that you read more than once is because there's no limit to God's personality. His plans are unfathomable!

The apostle Paul wrote to the Romans about the revelation of the hidden mystery which is being revealed through the prophetic writings- the Word of God (Romans 16:25-26). In like manner, he also told the Ephesians that reading the Word of God has made them understand the mystery of Christ which was unknown to previous generations (Ephesians 3:3-5).

The Word of God is so real and true, but only to those who dare to trust Him. For the problem is not whether or not believe in God, it is whether can believe Him. And how can one trust a God whom one cannot see but by GRACE (see Ephesians 3:2).

ACCESS TO A LOVING DAD

Access to a loving Dad is still, to me, the greatest gift of love man gets through the shedding of the previous blood of a sinless Son of God. If Christ had not sacrificed Himself, as God's Son, we all can't be called the son's of God- joint heir of Christ. "For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,…" (Ephesians 2:18-19; NIV).

Before He came into the world, man gets whatever he needs, from God, only through sacrifices (the result of our first parent's sin). But because our elder Brother, Jesus, has direct access to His Father- our Father- before and after His reign on earth, we, His younger ones have also been given same access to our Father in heaven, but not without GRACE.

COVENANT PROSPERITY

No one can truly prosper outside the covenant of God. According to the bible, God wants us to prosper in everything that we do without setting aside the prosperity of our souls (III John 1:2). King David also made us know that our prosperity brings joy to our good God (Psalm 35:27)

The Covenant of God upon a man never dies. It lives- as long as the man remains faithful- from generation to generation. In the time of Noah, God made a covenant with Noah that He will establish His covenant with him. And He equally went ahead to give an evidence of His covenant with him (see Gen 9:11-17). And up till today and tomorrow and forever, the rainbow still appears as a sign from our Loving and covenant-keeping Father, that the earth won't be destroyed by water no more.

Christians still sings "Abraham's blessings are mine…" This is because of the covenant God made with a man- Abram in Gen 12:3b that "…and all peoples of the earth shall be blessed through you."

What do we say about David, through whose lineage our Lord Jesus came? The bible, in many verses, records where God showed mercy upon the people of Israel all because of the covenant He made with David during his lifetime (see the book of kings).

In all, nothing can usher into a man's life this awesome covenant of God, unless GRACE.


ENJOY

With the Goodness of God upon your life; knowing the Reality of His promises; gaining Access to Him though His through His Son and living under His wonderful Covenant, you can't but start Enjoying God's presence in your everyday life. Isa 65:22b says "my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands." The verse continues with great promises of enjoyment (v 23-24).

In summary, no man can Enjoy his everyday life without,, firstly, submitting to the awesome GRACE that Jesus' death spread upon the earth.
