It is through Him that we have received grace (God's unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name's sake among all the nations" (Romans 1:5 AMP).
Do you want to see more of God's favor in your life? Receive His grace. Grace is God's favor, but it's also His supernatural empowerment. When you have God's grace and favor, it enables you to accomplish more and to be more effective both in your own life and in building the kingdom of God. This verse says that God's grace enables us to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples among all nations. Maybe you can't go to all nations today, but you can make a difference in the lives of the people around you. You can "promote faith" by living a life of love. God wants to empower you with His Grace so that you can show love and encourage the people in your life-your coworkers, your family, your friends. Receive His grace today by simply opening your heart and thanking Him for it. Thank Him for His grace that empowers you. Thank Him for a gift of faith in your life, which works by love. As you receive His Grace today, you will feel His empowerment and walk forward in the favor and blessing He has in store for you!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your promise of grace in my life. Thank You for unmerited favor and empowering me through Your Word. I receive Your grace right now and invite Your love to flow through me today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
