2 Corinthians 6:1 (KJV); We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
Topic : WHY WE PREACH THE GRACE: LABOURING GRACE
It is possible to receive the grace of God in vain. This happens because of little or no understanding of the scriptures.
In the grace dispensation, there are some that have the misconception that all hard work is legalistic.
That is not so, not all hard work is legal.
Because of this misconception, some don't want to work at jobs or study hard in schools because they are "under grace.”
Some think that when you receive the grace, you simply sit back and wait for things to fall into place; for a job to find you lazing around in your bed or for miracle money to fall from the sky without the principles of divine providence, because the man of God prophesied wealth concerning your life.
That is what our theme scripture calls receiving the grace in vain.
Don’t assume that you can flout the principles of success and expect everything to come to you on a silver platter simply because you received the grace of God.
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:10; But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
People who understand the grace ought to be the hardest workers; the best performers in their workplaces and the most brilliant students, because the grace of God is divine enablement, and labours in you. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: The grace of God is divine enablement, and labours in you.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this word. I have not received the grace in vain. It labours mightily in me to do over and above any human expectations. I yield to its working in me and by it, I over deliver, over perform and supersede any set targets whether in my career, business or in school. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
