*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: THURSDAY 15TH MAY 2025 THEME: *TAKE YOUR PLACE IN LIFE BY GRACE* MEMORIZE 1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. READ 1 Corinthians 15:3-10 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *Grace is everything you need to fulfil your destiny in God.* MESSAGE The place of grace cannot be over-emphasised in the race of life and destiny. *Grace is needed for everything as far as life on Earth is concerned.* The Bible says in Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. The earth is a place of needs where grace is indispensable and unavoidably needed. It takes grace to locate and secure your place in life. Grace is the maker of men. Grace is the moulder of lives and destinies. Today's text reveals how powerful and wonderful grace can be. It is clear what God can do through His grace at work in a person's life. Saul of Tarsus, a persecutor and a blasphemous person, turned into an apostle of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. And from being the last to becoming a foremost apostle of the New Testament. He was used of God to write more than two-thirds of the New Testament by the grace of God. If grace could do this for Paul the apostle, then grace is much more than enough to make you whatever God wants you to be. Beloved, there is no life too bad or too rotten to be transformed by grace. A prostitute (Rahab) was transformed and grafted into the Holy family tree of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by grace. A total idol worshipper; Ruth the Moabitess found her way into the Holy family lineage of our Lord by the same working of God's grace. Grace is more than enough; grace is too much to leave you the way you are. Just surrender to God and be yielded to the workings of His grace in your life today. This was why the Apostle Paul in today's memory verse said; "But by the grace of God I am what I am..." In the first place, we were saved by grace, kept in the faith by grace. It is interesting to note that grace is a person, and his name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth! The Bible says that *"the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men ..."* Titus 2:11; *Beloved, grace is everything that you need to fulfil your destiny in God.* ACTION STEPS 1. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ today and be saved if you haven't already. 2. Ask God to help you yield to the workings of His grace in your life. 3. Give vent to the grace of God in you by discovering your area of gifts and calling and putting them to work by faith. PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide. Help me to yield myself completely to your grace, always in Jesus' name. Amen. REMEMBER *Grace is everything you need to fulfil your destiny in God.* AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Exodus 14-15; Psalms 81-82; Mark 13-14; Romans 10-11.
