Prayer theme or objective for the month of November, 2020

is:

“THE NEED TO BE STRONG IN THE LORD”

(Ephesians 6:10)

Suffragan Bishop Charles L. Smith, Pastor

From the Pastor’s desk. . .

I have written this week with the Lord’s help about Giving

Thanks to Our God for His Grace. The scripture text for

this article comes from the book of Ephesians. This book

is the fifth book of the New Testament section called “The

Epistles.” This book was written by the Apostle Paul

during his first imprisonment in Rome about AD 62.

Ephesians is one of Paul’s prison epistles. There are four

prison epistles namely Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians,

and Philemon. The book of Ephesians is divided into two

sections:

① (Ephesians 1:1) to (Ephesians 3:21). It is doctrinal

and speaks about the church’s heavenly calling.

② (Ephesians 4:1) to (Ephesians 6:24). It is practical

and speaks about the church’s earthly walk.

For this article, we want to focus our attention upon

(Ephesians 2:5-9) which says = Even when we were dead

in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace

ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made

us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in

the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of

his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of

yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any

man should boast. In this passage of scripture, the

Apostle Paul writes about a time when we were not

saved. And when we were dead in sins. God quickened

us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved: ) (Titus

3:4-6) says = But after that the kindness and love of God

our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of

righteousness which we have done, but according to his

mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and

renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us

abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. And hath

raised us up in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in

the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of

his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

(Ephesians 2:5-7). Then Paul wrote some more about

grace. He said, “For by grace are ye saved through faith;

and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of

works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8, 9).

Someone might ask the question, “What is grace? The

Greek word for grace in (Ephesians 2:8) is charis (khar-

ecé) #5485 which means = benefit, favour, or gift. Grace

is a kindness granted by God upon the whole human

family, and grace is God’s gift to us! When God gives us

the undeserved benefit of his grace, it is a favor done to

us without expectation of us returning this same favor to

him. His grace is free, and a part of God’s attributes and

character. It shows his loving-kindness toward “us.” His

grace cannot be earned; it is the gift of God: not of works

lest any man should boast.

Many theologians and scholars of the Bible get the wrong

interpretation of (Ephesians 2:8, 9), and we have heard

them teach on TV and radio that all we need for our

salvation is grace. They bypass (John 3:5-8) and (Acts

2:37, 38) which are saying that we need a new spiritual

birth; which includes the remission of our sins by baptism

in water in the name of Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy

Ghost, aka the spirit of Christ in our heart, and in our

spirit before we can be saved. We must be born again of

water and of the spirit. Jesus said in (John 3:7) marvel

not that I said unto thee ye must be “born again.”

(Romans 3:24) says = Being justified freely by his grace

through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. “Grace

and truth” came to us through Jesus Christ; he was full of

grace and truth. (John 1:14, 17). We need to give our

God thanks for his amazing grace. We have justification,

peace with God, and forgiveness of our sins because of

God’s amazing grace. The two works of grace are ① our

salvation and ② divine empowerment to do great works,

and to sustain us in our times of human weakness.

The apostles needed grace to be upon them as they went

out to witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Acts

4:33) says = And with great power gave the apostles

witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great

grace was upon them all. (Acts 14:3) says = Long time

therefore abode they (Paul and Barnabas) speaking boldly

in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his

grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their

hands. The Apostle Paul also received divine

empowerment in his life when he had a thorn in his flesh.

Read: (II Corinthians 12:7-10). Notice especially (II

Corinthians 12:9) which says = And he said unto me, My

grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made

perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather

glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest

upon me.

Let us look back in our minds and reflect upon God’s

grace and how it brought salvation to all of us; and about

God’s divine empowerment to do great works and how he

has and is sustaining all of us in our human weakness:

Then Give Thanks to Our God for His “Amazing Grace.”

Thank you, LORD, for your Grace!!

Suffragan Bishop Charles L. Smith, D.D.

November 1, 2020

Praise the Lord everyone,

When I look back over my life, and I think things over, I can

truly say that I’ve been blessed; I have a testimony!

First, I thank God for all He has done for me. Thank you,

Lord, for one more year. Second, I want to shout out a thank

you to all who took the time out to help me celebrate my 84th

birthday. My heart rejoiced at the outpouring of your love for

me. It really lifted my spirit. Again, I say thank you and God

bless each one of you.

As we enter into another month, let us continue to give God

our best praise. As the Men’s Choir sings …. Every day is a

day of thanksgiving. The world sets aside one day to give

thanks, but we must praise Him and thank Him every day for

what He has done, what He is doing and what He is going to

do for us.

Take time out and reflect back and thank Him for His

goodness and His mercy. He has done great things for us;

He will continue to bless us if we continue to serve Him and

live holy.

As the song writer said, “I’m glad to be in the number one

more time.”

Grace and Peace to all,

Evangelist/Lady Mildred E. Smith
