The difference between grace and
disgrace is "DIS". If you remember, I explained something about
"DIS" phenomenon:
D = Disbelief (Lack of faith)
I = Indiscipline
S = Sin
The truth is that the grace that
saved us is an immunity against disgrace. But, it is possible to lose that
immunity and end up in disgrace. The 3 major factors are
Disbelief-Indiscipline-Sin; any one of them is a potent extinguisher of destiny
and pathway to DISgrace. And the lead among them is SIN. When you live in sin,
you cause depletion in your grace level because "you cannot continue in
sin and ask grace to abide. God forbid!" (Romans 6:1, 2a). And as your
grace level diminishes your immunity is compromised and you become increasingly
vulnerable to attacks (spiritual, health wise, business, ministry, etc), and
the end-point is from glory to gory, and grace to DISgrace.
Friend, breakaway from the life
of sin (stealing, cheating, gambling, drinking, smoking, fornication, tattoos,
secret cult, lying, etc)...let grace find you, and let grace work for you.
Grace keeps a life from disgrace...It is the secret of going from glory to
glory. It doesn't matter where you are and what you are going through; grace can
give eternal identity to an hitherto nonentity. The grace-life is the lifeline
to the great-life. The reason there is no true greatness outside God is because
there is no grace outside God.
Something changed Paul from a
killer to a healer; it took him from being the last and made him first:
"For I am the least of the apostles, that I am not meet (qualified) to be
called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of
God I am what I am...yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" (1
Corinthians 15:9-10). It was grace! It has the capacity to move you from the
confines of sin, the shackles of frustration, the wheels of backslidding and
retrogression, and from the back seat of stagnation into the front seat of
destiny that God has reserved for you. But sin kills.
Grace saves...Grace heals...Grace
keeps...Grace works. May you experience unceasing and unlimited manifestations
of God's abundant grace. Maranatha.
