But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 2 Peter 3:18 (AMP) Over the last few days we’ve been discussing God’s favour on your life as a believer. So…if you already have God’s favour on your life and there’s nothing you can do to earn it, why does our verse today say that you need to grow in favour? What this verse is really saying is that you can grow in your experience of God’s favour. Growing in favour doesn’t mean you get more power, ability or provision from God. God has already given every member of His family all of the favour He could ever give. But you can increase your experience …
Crecer en el Favor con Dios
Pero conozcan mejor a nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo y crezcan en su amor. ¡Gloria a él ahora y para siempre! Amén. 2 Pedro 3:18 (DHH) Durante los últimos días hemos estado discutiendo acerca del favor de Dios en su vida como un creyente. Pero… si ya usted tiene el favor de Dios en su vida y no hay nada que pueda hacer para ganarlo, ¿Por qué el versículo de hoy dice que necesitamos crecer en el favor? Lo que este versículo realmente dice, es que usted puede crecer en su experiencia del favor de Dios. Crecer en el favor no significa que conseguirá más poder, habilidad o provisión, de parte de Dios. Dios ya le ha dado a cada miembro de Su …
CALLED TO BARELY GET BY?
For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield. Psalm 5:12 (NKJV) Do you have trouble believing that God’s incredible favour is on your life? Some old hymns are great, but others leave the wrong impression. For example, I remember singing one that went like this: “I’m satisfied with just a cottage below, a little silver and a little gold, but in that city where the ransomed will shine, I want a gold one that’s silver-lined.” Another went something like this: “Showers of blessing, showers of blessing we need. Mercy drops round us are falling, but for the showers we plead.” The problem with songs like this is they imply that we’re to be satisfied with living …
¿Llamado para Apenas Sobrevivir?
pues tú, Señor, bendices al que es fiel; tu bondad lo rodea como un escudo. Salmos 5:12 (DHH) ¿Tiene problemas creyendo que el increíble favor de Dios está en su vida? Algunos cánticos viejos son grandiosos, pero otros dejan la impresión incorrecta. Por ejemplo, recuerdo cantar uno que decía algo como: “Estoy satisfecho con solo una cabaña al pie de la montaña, un poco de plata y un poco de oro, pero en esa ciudad donde los redimidos brillarán, quiero una de oro que esté revestida de plata”. Otra decía algo como esto: “Lluvias de bendiciones, necesitamos lluvias de bendiciones. Gotas de misericordia caen sobre nosotros, pero por la lluvia rogamos”. El problema con canciones como estás es que implican que tenemos que …
FAVOUR OVERCOMES EVERY PROBLEM
But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. Genesis 39:21(NKJV) Joseph is a great biblical example of a person who experienced God’s favour, and from his example it’s clear to see that having God’s favour doesn’t exempt you from all struggles and problems. In the beginning, Joseph’s life looked like the picture-perfect example of favour. Then one day his jealous brothers sold him to slave-traders. It would seem that God’s favour had left Joseph, but Joseph ended up working for Potiphar, one of the Pharaoh’s top leaders. Joseph worked hard, and God’s favour caused him to rise to the top. Eventually Joseph gained so high a position that he was …
