In the book, Elizabeth said, "Having experienced much of God's unfailing love and grace in my life, I am confident to say that no believer can exist or survive outside of God's grace". _ The arm of flesh will always fail, but grace continues to stand out, keeping us strong and making us able to do all things.   The place of grace in the lives of believers cannot be measured nor can its totality be exhausted. But one thing is certain; whatever we are, and whatever we are going to be and achieve in life is all the work of grace. It is grace from start to finish....

 DAYS OF VISITATION  Elizabeth Iyadi Abaye http://www.elizabethabaye.com  “The Lord JEHOVAH has done these things for me in the days in which he regarded me to take away my reproach among the children of men” Luke 1:25.  Sometimes when one is going through challenges, it seems as though you are forsaken by God. But God does not and can never forsake his own,  there is always a time of remembrance, a period when the Lord looks upon you with favour and begin to bring into your life His uncommon blessings. It is a time when the Lord says enough to the manipulations and reproaches of the wicked ones, a season when he says no more misfortune. Certainty situations are never forever for those who are rooted in Christ Jesus, those who call upon him day and night for surely he will arise and avenge their case in the day of his visitation. In the days wherein he will looked on them with a favourable eye, with a look of love and mercy thus He will remove shame and disgrace...

YOU ARE A GOOD SEED  By Elizabeth I. Abaye Oftentimes, when things are not going in our direction or in the way we expected.... When life becomes rough and unbearable people begin to think that something is wrong with them or that they have been given bad destiny. This is the reason many pray for God to change their destiny.... They even sing it in worships. They tend to forget that they are God's creation and His dear children and all that God made is good and his seed is in all his children. There's none made or born with defected destiny... You are perfectly made with a marvelous destiny. Now look at what the scripture says about the good seed, He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;  Matthew 13:37‭-‬38 (KJV), Are you Born Again? then you have the seed of the glorious God  in you because you're His dear c...

 KEEPING THE RIGHT COMPANY  By Elizabeth I. Abaye  1 Corinthians 15:33 says, "Don't be deceived, bad company corrupts good character." (CEB)  The people you hangout with, and spend time with matters in life and can affect your purpose positively or negatively.  You are born to be great but you can't achieve greatness by spending time with the scornful, the unserious minded people. Keeping the right kinds of company will add value to your life.  They are many who get inspiration from God that would have taken them to their estate of greatness but because they have been mingling with the wrong set of  people, they are not able to put their God given ideas to work.  Every time spent with those who are not doing any relevant thing to move their life forward to the next level is a waste of your potential. And for every wasted time you lost, you are losing great opportunity and money. You need to put your potentials to work so you can achieve purpose an...

COME UP HITHER Elizabeth I. Abaye www.elizabethabaye.com “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.” Revelation 11:12 KJV The call of the Spirit of God is always to a Higher Place, to see more, to know more, to receive more and to be more in God. The Christian Life by design is one of ever increasing glory...... No glory is ever enough; we are to Go Up Higher for more glory because it is always from one level of glory unto another. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Similarly, Proverbs 4:18 tells us, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” There is always more and more and more for us to grasp in Christ but for us to get them, we must Go Up Hither. It is in the place o...

  CHOSEN BY GRACE Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:10 says, “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.” (KJV). Sometimes we tend to think that we get through in life by our own power or self-righteousness but I have come to understand that we are nothing outside the grace of God. No matter how educated you are if grace does not work with you, your education is meaningless, it will take you nowhere. Oh it is good to be righteous for that is who we are in Christ: nevertheless, you don’t depend on your righteousness but upon the Spirit of grace who administers grace upon grace on us. And no matter how gifted and talented you are, if you are not endowed with grace, your efforts will be worthless and unproductive. for “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh b...

OVERTAKING BY THE SPIRIT Elizabeth I. Abaye 'Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel." 1 Kings 18:46 NLT    There's a realm that controls the physical, a realm where things are settled before it is made visible, it is the realm of the supernatural also known as the spiritual realm. No one can achieve anything meaningful in life without the assistant from the spiritual realm.      In Genesis 2:7 the scripture tells us, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul". KJV         Now understand that the clay was inactive, motionless and powerless until the breath of life,(which is the Spirit of life) was put into him. Thus without the Spirit there is no life, the Spirit in man is the power or force that makes Him operati...

GOOD OF THE LAND  Elizabeth I. Abaye   "If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; Isaiah 1:19 NKJV God did not call us to a life of shame, reproach or lack and want but to inherit blessings. God want us to prosper in every area of our lives but He does not want us to live our lives in misplaced priorities Of a truth, material blessings are added bonus to our relationship with God. However, we must understand that our material and physical prosperity are hinged on our willingness to obey Him. We have been brought into the land of glory, prosperity, abundance, and honor, God chose us out of the world that we can enjoy His blessings on earth and reign in life. The scripture says "it is the good of the land" The Amplified versions refers to it as “the best of the land”; Oh yes, the best of the land is our portion in Christ Jesus. The good of the land refers to possessions, prosperity, fruitfulness and increase. It is God’s...

REJOICE IN HOPE Elizabeth I. Abaye In Romans 12:12 Paul wrote , Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. (ESV).  Now someone may ask, Why should we rejoice when we are not yet seeing the manifestation of what we desire? Why should I rejoice in the midst of calamities and sorrow? Why should I rejoice when I don't money to take care of my family and pay bills?  Beloved of God, we are to rejoice because we know that our heavenly Father will surely meet our needs. We are to rejoice because we know that all things are possible with him, we know that Jahovah Jireh will certainly answer His name in our lives, He  will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 KJV We are to rejoice because He is ever with us, he will never leave us nor forsake us. As a result, we refuse to be discouraged but chose to rejoice. Child of God, you may have great expectations that everything around you s...

SIN OF UNBELIEF   Elizabeth I. Abaye   “But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.” Romans 14:23 Many believers do a lot of religious things but not with faith. They operates in the place of "form" . Having a form of godliness, but SIN OF UNBELIEF the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:5   Thus they live in unbelief. We are in the Kingdom where faith rules, anything done outside of faith displeases the Father, 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. Hebrews 11:6 KJV Now! Paul tells us in Romans 14:23 that "Everything that does not come from faith is sin"  In the essence, when you function in unbelief, you are practically living in sin and denying yourself of God's blessings. The sin of unbelief is when you doubt the p...

WE BEHELD HIS GLORY   Elizabeth I Abaye   And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John  1:14 KJV John said, "They beheld his glory" in order words, with their eyes they saw the glory of God in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Child of God I tell you, What you see and experience, no one takes its memory from you.... It sticks with you and it keeps your faith active and strong. Christianity is not in theory but something to be experienced in our lives, she is a living organism that showcases the manifestations of the goodwill of God in the life of His children. He told us in Isaiah 43:7,  Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him . Beloved understand that you and I are created for the manifestations of the glory of God and thus it is evident that through us t...

BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW  GROUND Jeremiah 4:3, “Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns." Just like farmers have to prepare the ground to bear fruit, we must prepare ourselves to receive from God this year. We must be ready for greater glory. The expression, “Break up your fallow ground" means, to prepare your minds to bring forth fruit unto God. To break off your bad habits; clear junks from your hearts, work on your attitude, take away hatred, bitterness, lust, and greed. These are thorns that has been chocking your seeds, preventing them from germinating, and growing to maturity to producing fruits. In our passage, Jeremiah makes the people to understand that if they do not "Break up their fallow ground They will be sowing among thorns."  In other words, they will sow seed, but because they didn't bother to prepare the soil and pull out the thorns, the seed will have little or no effect.  You can't keep being the s...

COME UP HITHER And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:12 KJV The call of the Spirit of God is always to a Higher Place, to see more, to know more, to receive more and to be more in God. The Christian Life by design is one of ever increasing glory ..... No glory is ever enough, we are to Go Up Hither for more glory because it is always from one level of glory unto another. 2Corintians 3:18 says, But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Similarly, in Proverbs 4:18 we are told, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day . There is always more and more and more for us to grasp in Christ but for us to get them, we must Go Up Hither. It is in the place of Going Up Hither ...

   WATCH AND PRAY 

FROM BITTER TO SWEET When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink. So they called the place Marah (which means "bitter"). Ex. 15:23 The Israelites having journeyed for days without water in the wilderness was exhausted. The entire area is a wilderness and no water. Suddenly there is hope, they see water before them. On sight of the river, after three days of thirst, they heaped a sigh of relief. At last there is water before them...  Oh how joyous they must have been to find a relief.... But wait a second, their joy quickly turned sour, the blessing of the water was not what they expected, it is a bitter water. The only water they could see turned to be “bitter”. Their joy turned to sorrow, their soul was in pains, "how could God do this to them", they must have thought. They all complained and murmured as a result of the bitter water. This showed that their hopes were dashed. They would need to walk another distan...
