1 Corinthians 15:10 (MSG) ‘But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste. Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it. “

Allyson Felix is an American athlete who is considered the greatest sprinter of all time. Allyson Felix began running while she was a teenager attending Los Angeles Baptist HighSchool in California.
At 15 year old, when she was in the ninth grade, her school mates began to call her “chicken legs” due to her very thin, skinny legs and her slender figure. The mockery could have diminished her sense of self-esteem and self-worth. But Allyson’s father who is a pastor constantly encouraged her to turn to God to build up inner strength and resilience.
Trusting in God, Allyson ignored her mockers and chose rather to press forward in her sport. From high school, she began to excel and became a winner in many competitions. At the age of 18, she won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. This marked the beginning of an amazing winning streak throughout her sports career. Allyson earned a total of 31 medals in the Olympics and World Championships making her the overall most decorated athlete in track and field history.
As a teenager, it was hard to believe her chicken legs could carry her far in the athletics world. But twenty years later with multiple titles in her career, she has become the most successful female athlete in the world.
Allyson remains a devoted Christian who constantly attributes all her success to God’s grace which has caused her to excel beyond everyone’s expectations.
When a man runs alone, it is called ‘a race’, but when he runs with God it is called ‘grace’.
Grace is the covenant mother of greatness. It is divine leverage that takes you higher and further than your human strength ever could.
Grace will open doors that appear beyond your capability and promote you to positions you didn’t qualify for.
Grace took Joseph from prison to palace. It took Moses from the backside of the desert to the front stage of Biblical history. It took David from the shepherd fields to the throne of Israel. The truth is that every genuine success story in God’s Kingdom is a product of His divine mercy and grace.
Without grace, we are grounded. No one can rise higher than the grace of God at work in his life. Apostle Paul usually ended his messages to the Churches by praying for the grace of God because he knew they could not achieve anything in the energy of the flesh.
Likewise, our breaking forth to higher grounds this year will only become a reality as we are upheld by God’s grace. This is why we must continually give Him worthy praise, always acknowledging Him as the glory and the lifter up of our heads. Certainly, in this new month, through God’s divine grace, we shall be exceeding all expectations and breaking limits. It will be our season to soar to new levels of accomplishment, success, health, strength favor and amazing opportunities.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to seek You with renewed fervency because without You I can achieve nothing. Thank You for taking me to new levels of exploits in this new month in Jesus Name.
