UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD (THE PATH TO INCREASING GRACE) By: Oguntolu Oluwafemi.
A computer connected to the internet works by uploading and downloading data to and from the server. So is the life of a man under the grace of God. When a man yields himself to grace,such a man acknowledges the frailty of his effort and the capacity of God's grace to achieve what he cannot achieve. Such a man has equipped himself to download grace. It takes humility to download grace. When God gives a man grace,he begins to achieve the unthinkable. He receives increase in folds of his effort. He soars above difficulty and becomes superhuman. Why? Grace is God's infinite ability in a man to perform. As a result,he records unthinkable breakthroughs. All things just fall in line for him. Due to the success he records,he becomes celebrated and people talk about him as though it was his own effort that brought him that far. For some people,this is where they lose it. They begin to think like the men who didnt know it was God's grace that wrought the wonder. They forget to upload glory to God from whose server they downloaded grace. The truth is if a computer does not upload,it cannot download. As a result,such a man who fails to upload glory would be unable to access further grace. It takes humility to yield to (download) grace and it takes humility to give (upload) glory to God. The bible tells us that God gives more grace to the humble Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble (James 4:6). As we have entered into overflowing grace,let us be mindful of our heart. Let us not allow humility depart from it. Grace has come and IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS. God bless you.
