BREAKING OFF LIMITS 7 STAYING IN THE PLACE OF YOUR GRACE

If you will excel and amount to much in God, you are to stay in the place of your calling. There is a place of your grace and there is also a place of your disgrace. You need to identify the two to know the right place to be. Abraham dwelled where God called him but Lot left the place of God's presence to a place that looked fertile - Sodom and Gomorrah, the land that God has cursed.

Eventually, Lot lost out, died in the cave. He committed incest with his daughters to produce two cursed nations that have ceased to exist on earth today. A righteous Lot lost all because he did not stay in the place of his grace.

Beloved, the expertise of a fish is shown in the sea. The fish does not struggle to swim; it does not learn to swim because water is its natural habitat. In water, the fish can do whatever it likes. But the same fish on the land, no matter how big it is, looks helpless and struggles to live/survive. It struggles and wriggles until it dies because it is not in the place of its grace.

A story was told of a lion chasing a baboon and the baboon climbed the tree. On the tree, the baboon jeered at the lion and urinated on the head of the lion. The lion may be the king of the jungle but it can't beat a baboon when it comes to climbing trees. May you understand the place of your grace. This teaches us that no one is self-sufficient, that is why God has placed you in the Body of Christ. Every believer has his place to function in the church so identify your grace. It is easy for the fish to swim in the sea because it is in the natural habitat. Identify your placement and succeed there. Don't be presumptuous and assume you can do what others are doing. A broom stick cannot sweep but the whole bunch can. You need me and I need you, we all need ourselves, no one could say 'I don't need you'.

Rom 12:6-10.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

There are some today who are trying to be who they are not, they want to be others because they don't like what they are. If you like yourself, you will like whatever God gives you. No one is ungifted, God is a gracious God and full of mercy; He has given us grace depending on our ability. You are not a photocopy, you are born original.

You may not be able to do what I'm doing but you can also do some things I can't do. Whatever you can do, do it well because your promotion will come to the place of your assignment. If you do your assignment well, God will reward you.

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Beloved, when you identify your placement and place of your grace, you will excel, you will soar and become a master in whatever you do.

Criticisms of people against you are mere opinion and it doesn't affect your promotion if you are in the will of God. No one rewards a football fan for watching and criticizing the players. Only players are rewarded at the end of the game and it will be a waste of time for a player to answer critics while he's playing. Some don't learn, they only jump around until age catches up with them on the wrong side, until they get old in rebellion because of selfwill. May you learn to stay in the place of your grace.
