THE WINNING GRACE: God's Power in Our Weakness


 “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9).


The grace of Christ is the power of God available to sustain, help, and deliver His covenant children in moments of weakness. It is not something we earn or activate through actions but a gift freely given by God.

Even in the face of trials, God’s grace is already at work in our lives, sustaining us, strengthening us, and leading us to victory.

Grace and Faith are the Foundation of Our Victory

We are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). This means that grace is God’s part, and faith is our response—believing and trusting in what He has already provided. One of the greatest expressions of faith is praise.

True Praise is a Response to God’s Grace

Praise is not just singing; it is an active declaration of trust in God. It is the highest expression of faith in His grace and power. The Bible gives us multiple examples of how praise unlocks divine intervention.

● Paul and Silas in prison—Despite their suffering, they chose to praise God instead of complaining. As they sang, God moved supernaturally, shaking the prison and opening the doors (Acts 16:25-26).

● King Jehoshaphat and Judah—Instead of fighting, they sent out singers to praise the Lord, and God set ambushes against their enemies (2 Chronicles 20:21-24).

Both instances show that praise does not make God move—it aligns us with what He is already doing. It shifts our focus from the problem to the problem solver.

Experiencing God’s Grace Through Praise

When we praise we:
■ Acknowledge God’s sovereignty over our circumstances (Psalm 22:3).
■ Position ourselves to experience His grace more fully (Psalm 34:1-4).
■ Demonstrate faith that God is at work, even when we don’t see it yet (Hebrews 11:1).

Just as Paul and Silas worshiped before the prison doors opened, our praise is not a reaction to victory but a declaration of faith that victory is already ours in Christ.

Praise and Grace help us to Walk in Victory

A life of praise is a life of continual awareness of God's grace. It does not mean we won’t face battles, but it assures us that we never fight alone.

▪︎ When you praise, you strengthen your faith.
▪︎ When you praise, you position yourself to experience God’s power.
▪︎ When you praise, you remind the enemy that he is already defeated.

This is why praiseful people are graceful people—they live in constant recognition of God’s presence and power, refusing to be victims of fear or defeat. They are never controlled by circumstances; instead, they stand firm, knowing that God's grace is enough.

Release the Winning Grace

No matter what you face today, God’s grace is already available to sustain and deliver you. Choose to respond not with fear, worry, or doubt, but with the discipline of praise. As you lift your voice in thanksgiving, you align your heart with the victory Christ has already won.

“The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:14).

When you become praiseful, you step into your graceful days. Praiseful people are winning people—not because they never face trials, but because they know the battle belongs to the Lord.

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
