THIS FAR BY GRACE

Indeed, this far by grace!

Wow!
Saying I’m excited is an understatement.  I’m ecstatic! 😄💃🏽
This far by the good good grace of the Most High God! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This is the doing of the Lord!

It’s been 2 years since the Naa Lamiokor site was launched and it’s still running. 🥳🎉🥳🎉Wow!
The Lord has time after time inspired writings that have greatly encouraged me, His vessel and I’m believing you as well, one time or the other.

Has it been smooth sailing? No
Have I been tempted to stop many times? Yes
Has God been with me through it all? Yes!

I look back at the person I was 2 years ago and the person I am now. There’s plenty of room for improvement, BUT,…as the song by Team Eternity Ghana goes (shared below – Give Thanks), “I’m not where I want to be, but I’m not where I used to be. Me give thanks to you oh Lord”.

Praaaaaaise the Lord!
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This is just a write up thanking God for bringing me and yes you, this far.
It’s all by His grace.

With AWANA, grace was defined as “undeserved, unmerited favour and kindness”

Grace as an acronym is said to be God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. 😊

And there are soooo many Bible verses and songs on grace.
Notable for me is:

Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

What does the internet say?

Grace is the Hebrew word chanan or the Greek word charis, meaning “the state of kindness and favour toward someone, often with a focus on a benefit given to the object.”

Grace is what God does because He is gracious Every action of God toward us involves His grace.
His creation, His providence, His conviction of the sinner, His gift of salvation, His equipping of the saints, and the future He has prepared for us.
All of this is due to God’s grace.

Psalm 116:12-14 ESV –

What shall I render to the LORD
for all his benefits to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD,
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.

Revelation 4:11 ESV – Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”

Please join me to praise God for His goodness and mercies that are new every morning.
Great is His faithfulness!

The pages of my life
Tell of Your goodness
Every chapter of my story
Show how You led me, Lord
I’m the handwriting of mercy
By the finger of the Lord
This is the finger of The Lord, 

You’ve been right here beside me
Through the fire, through the rain
I didn’t burn, I didn’t drown
‘Cause You were right by my side
I am a living testimony
Of the goodness of the Lord, 
This is the doing of the Lord

What shall I render?
Indeed, what shall I render?
What shall I render to You?
What shall I render?

I render my praise, my worship, my thanksgiving, I cast my crowns before you Lord, for You alone are worthy! 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Amen and amen!

God bless you!
😊🙏🏽
