2 Cor. 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” ’
- DAILY READING ; John 5:1-18; 1 Chronicles 18-19; Zechariah7
A major function of the human blood is its capacity to bring healing to the physical body. Human blood is composed of more than just red blood cells. In fact, over half (55 percent) of our blood is not red at all. It is a clear liquid, known as plasma, that is 92 percent water. The other 8 percent includes many essential substances necessary to keep our bodies healthy. These are proteins, hormones, vitamins, enzymes and salts. Should the body become ill, the blood alters its normal functions, to adjust and promote healing. The white blood cells (leucocytes) are the body’s first line of defense against bacterial invaders. When bacteria enter the body, white blood cells are produced in great numbers. They travel to engulf the invaders. and rid the body of these intruders.
Likewise, the blood of Jesus spiritually does the same for the body of Christ. His blood brings both healing and cleansing to us. Hebrews 9:14 says that it will “…purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.” Indeed through the blood of Jesus our hearts and minds and consciences are purged and renewed to serve God acceptably.
interestingly the month of May is when renewal is brought to the earth. It is a month of new births to animals and new bloom to plants. It is a month of beauty and colour. And what that means is that by the power in the blood of Jesus, it is also our time and season to experience beauty for ashes. Every good seed which God has planted in our lives is about to bloom and bring forth fruit and colour. And it will not be by power or might but by the help of The Spirit.
May is the fifth month and the number 5 symbolizes God’s grace, goodness and favor toward humans. Therefore in this fifth month divine grace to run the race is being released to us. Grace is so significant because it is God’s supernatural ability that enables us to do His will. Therefore, we never have to be fearful as to whether we have what it takes to be used by God. In this season God is confirming to us that He has released to us the grace sufficient to accomplish great things.
In 2 Cor. 12:9 The Lord said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” likewise, God is saying to us that, starting this month of May, as we yield to Him, His grace will be enough to supernaturally deal with every issue that comes our way.
By definition the word “May” means possibility; opportunity or permission; or to express wish or prayer. By implication therefore, this month of May will be a month of possibility, opportunity and prayer. In this month of May God will enable us to access doors of breakthrough that have not been accessible before. In this season, God is giving us leverage in the spirit realm to be bold, to step out and do great and mighty things in His Name. Indeed in this month God will be doing for us exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ever ask or think. The glory and beauty hidden in you is about to erupt. This year’s theme of ‘Glory unveiled’ will not be another slogan, rather it shall be your definite reality and experience in Jesus Name.
PRAYER: Lord, I am truly grateful for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. And I thank You for bringing renewal and restoration to me in this season. I know that in this new month Your grace for great accomplishment has been released to me in Jesus’ Name.
