The tenses used to describe the grace of God and our standing in it is a perfect tense in the Greek language which basically means “an event that occurs once but have a lifetime ramification”

What we have in Jesus is not something we can lose.

Your standing in Christ – His grace and favour is permanent.

So here we see that our past is justified, our present moments are favoured and our future is filled with the hope (the confident expectation of good) to enjoy the glory or reality of God.

The favour factor for the believer is rooted in God’s decision to not only be with us but under the New Covenant, to be in us. I am certain we have not plumbed the depth of what this means. Every believer has this favour factor. It is the force that brings God in on your behalf to put things in your favour in

the face of every contradicting forces. It is this factor that will put you where you natural abilities can never put you.

Every Patriarch enjoyed the favour factor. The favour factor is the presence of God. Luke 5:17 revealed how this favour factor manifested in the healing ministry of Jesus: “One of those days, as He was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting by, who had come from every village and town of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was [present] with Him to heal them.”

In 2025, the favour factor will help you. The same Holy Spirit that helped Jesus healed people and that raised Him from the dead is presently at work in you who has been joined together with the Lord Jesus.

The story of Jesus' birth carries a profound theme of a covenant-keeping God. Beginning with humanity's fall in the Garden of Eden, Pastor Davies highlighted how God prepared the way for Jesus' arrival through the promise of "the Seed of the woman"—a prophecy fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.In Abraham, God found a faithful partner willing to offer his son in sacrifice. This act of willingness paved the way for God's intervention on earth, culminating in the redemption of the world through Jesus.

Today's message, The Covenant God of Christmas, reveals that God continues to honour His covenant. The name Jehovah Jireh, first revealed on Mount Moriah, foreshadowed Jesus' sacrifice on Golgotha. It was the good news proclaimed to Abraham in Genesis 22—a promise fulfilled in Christ.

As you celebrate this Christmas season, reflect on the faithfulness of the covenant-keeping God, who has fulfilled His promises through Jesus. Trust that He will continue to honour His word in your life.

Merry Christmas, beloved.

The Key To Persuading Your Heart

“The Key To Persuading Your Heart – Pt 2”

Last week, we discussed the unique role of the heart as the seat of your belief and according to Proverbs 4:23, your own heart determines the boundaries of your life.

It is imperative to therefore know how to persuade it.

I want to do a step through the life of Abraham to show you how he became persuaded in his heart of the faithfulness of God but first

The word of God is the seed and the earth in which the seed

of the word of God is planted is your own heart. In essence,

our heart is the environment that determines how well the

word of God works for us

Today, I want to talk to you about a principle that will help

protect your heart from distraction to lay hold of the truth of

God’s word.
