Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

As believers in Jesus, we have access to a grace that can help us through the struggles we face in our lives. Any area where we experience struggle simply means we need grace in that area. The life that we have in Christ and the sacrifice that Jesus made for us give us access to that grace.

Grace is the undeserved favor of God. It is by the grace of God that we are saved, and it is by the grace of God that we are able to overcome whatever struggles we may face in life. In 2 Peter 1:2, we are reminded that grace and peace are multiplied to us in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord. This means that the more we know about God and Jesus, the more grace we will receive.

In Psalm 5:12, it says that the Lord blesses the righteous and puts a shield of favor around them. This means that if we choose to lead a life of righteousness, we can be sure that God will be pleased with us. He will keep us safe and lead us in the right direction, and He will give us the grace we need to get through whatever comes our way.

Genesis 39:4 tells the story of Joseph, which shows this. Even though Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery, his master, Potiphar, showed him kindness. Because of this grace, Joseph was able to become a leader in Potiphar’s household and was given all of Potiphar’s possessions.

We can have the same kind of grace in our lives if we believe in Jesus. God’s blessing can protect us like a shield, and we can get through any trouble that comes our way. All we have to do is turn to God and ask for his grace. Let’s remember that we have God’s grace and favor in our lives in ways that most people don’t, and let’s trust that He will help us through every problem we face.

God bless you all.

In love,
Bishop Nikki Ogamba
