Hello beautiful people, I believe we should always be eternally grateful to God for His Grace upon our lives. We don’t deserve it, we are not entitled to have it but out of the integrity of God’s nature, He has dispensed this Beautiful Grace upon our lives for a Purpose in this World and to set His fire on this generation. However, that does not mean we should frustrate the Grace of God by embracing a lifestyle of sin because we are gifted and we know His giftings are without repentance!
The word of God is clear in Numbers 22:11-12‘Look, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the face of the earth. Come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to overpower them and drive them out.’ And God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.
No man could curse the children of Israel but do you know, when they opened a door to sin, they frustrated the grace of God? Numbers 25:1-4 Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab.They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel.Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before the Lord, out in the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.”
The truth is, no man can curse what God has blessed but opening a door to a lifestyle of sin, frustrates the Grace of God and frustrating the grace of God, we remove His hedge of protection hence contaminating His anointing. God cannot and will not take away what He has already deposited within us but He is a Jealous God to withdraw His presence. Then My anger shall be aroused against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they shall be devoured. And many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, ‘Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?’ And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods. Deuteronomy 31:17-18
God hiding his face from the children of Israel, was His way of removing His hedge of protection and they became exposed to all manner of troubles. Yes, they were out of captivity but now, they were exposed to troubles because God’s presence was not in their midst.
What’s the benefit of trying to operate the gift within you without the presence of God??What’s the benefit of substituting the Grace of God with a lifestyle of sin because of a gift??Do you know the Grace of God will sustain you and elevate you to higher dimensions, where your gift cannot and do you know this Grace is your hedge of protection?

I don’t know how many reading this post have or are currently frustrating the Grace of God due to accommodating a lifestyle of sin. Yes,you are sinning in private but you are still operating in your gift and in one way or another, the enemy is keeping you in deception. Paul said in Romans 6:1-2What shall we say (to all this)? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that (God’s gift of) grace may increase and overflow? Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer?
The apostolic writings of the New Testament teach believers that the proof of grace is that we are eager to live godly and pure lives, not as a license to sin, Apostle Jude also warned us against frustrating the grace of God, when he wrote .For certain people have crept in unnoticed (Just as if they were sneaking in by a side door). They are ungodly persons whose condemnation was predicted long ago, for they distort the grace of our God into decadence and immoral freedom (viewing it as an opportunity to do whatever they want), and deny and disown our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 4 (AMP).
I am not here to condemn anyone but to call us back to a place of repentance and seeking His mercy that will help us walk away from sin. Mercy is not only for the sinners but also for the saints. God wants His Grace to fully be operational in our lives on a daily basis, He desires our gifts to make a positive impact in our generation and desires His presence to lead us in everything we do.
I have penned down Nobody likes half cooked meals ,Sweet things in dead things and Can God trust you which are good reads to connect with this particular post.
Love Reina Beaty.
