There’s a supernatural elixir in the life of the Christian that differentiates him from the rest of the word. It’s called grace! The most popular definition of grace is probably “unmerited favour.” But this definition is inadequate! Grace is the glory of God in the life of a Christian that brings about favour, prosperity, healing and supernatural increase. It’s the manifestation of love, compassion and power of God. It’s the outward reflection of a divine influence that makes anything possible to him. That grace came upon your life the moment you were born again.
You should never compare yourself with the world, for you have something at work in your life that gives you the advantage over the people and system of the world. The bible says, “for God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travil, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God…” (Ecclesiastes 2:26). What a life we have in Christ Jesus! There’s absolutely nothing in this world, including its fame or fortune that can be compared with what you have in Christ Jesus. “For out of his fullness (abundance) we have all received {all had a share and we were all supplied with} one grace after another (and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing (and) even favor upon favor (and) gift {heaped} upon gift” (john 1:16 Amp). Hallelujah! The wealth of the heathen are laid up for you. But some Christians are ignorant of this reality; hence, they walk through life feeling miserable because of the prosperity of unbelievers. In Paul’s admonition to timothy, he said, “thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 timothy 2:1). That grace is already working in your life, but you must learn to take advantage of and be strong in it, for that’s the sure way to live victoriously in Christ.
