TOPIC: WHY BIBLE SAINTS FOUND GRACE IN GOD’S SIGHT – Part 1
TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:19-21
Key verse: “And when He had removed him, He raised up unto them David to be their king, to whom also He gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after Mine own heart, which shall fulfill all My will.” Acts 13: 22

“I have found…” It is not easy even for God to find a man like this. I have found, means I have been looking for him. I searched for him and at last I found him. A man after Mine own heart, means his heart is on Me, and he will do all my pleasure. David was a man dedicated to God in life and service. He was bold and courageous and God put him to use as vessel of honour. The Bible gives us accounts of men and women that obtained favour before God. The Bible also shows us why some of these people found grace in God’s sight. God is the same in nature and attribute from the beginning of His revelation to man until now. There are things that provoke Him to judgment against men and there are things that provoke Him to love and make men obtain grace in His sight. We shall make some brief study of some Bible saints with emphasis on why they obtained grace in the sight of God.

(1.) ENOCH: It is not common, brother, sister. How many people were taken up by God like that? There was a reason why Enoch found grace in the sight of God. The Scripture gives it as follows: Enoch walked with God. Finding grace goes with righteousness. Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness, therefore, God, thy God had anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
(2.) NOAH: It is not common to obtain this special grace that Noah had from the Lord. The grace of God indeed has appeared to all men, but not all men find it. Not all men find this special grace Noah found in the eyes of God. Why did Noah find grace in the eyes of the LORD? See what the Scripture says below of Noah. We can see by the Scripture that Noah found grace in the sight of God because his righteous and perfect life. Gen 7:1  And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Thought for the day: The righteous enjoys the grace of God in abundance.
Song for the day: Give me the grace to follow, abundant grace to follow
Bible reading for the day:
1 Kings 19-20; John 2

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
