The Grace of God is not a licence for Immorality (Inspired by Jude 1:4)

The Grace of God is not a licence for Immorality (Inspired by Jude 1:4)

By Teboho Masakala








If the is one thing God has showed his love for us is by his grace. Through his grace he has shown mercy and his love. However the are some people who plays with the same grace and use it as a license to commit immorality.

Some of our brothers and sisters in Christ keep sinning and hiding behind the grace of God knowing that God is a loving Father who will keep forgiving them no matter how many times they backslide. Some intentionally engage in immoral acts knowing that  God will forgive them when they repent.

The are many stories of bad things done by our brothers and sisters in Christ and how they have lured the weak to commit evil acts using the name of the Lord. Some “Men of God” have made news headlines for committing evil acts using the name of the Lord.


They hide behind the name of Jesus and has used it to dupe innocent people and so doing used it as a license to commit immorality. Because of their acts, some people have lost faith in Christianity resulting in souls being  lost for Christ.

As  children of God, Jesus died for us and was crucified so that  we can get God’s grace. It is by God’s grace that we can do some of the things that the world cannot do. His grace brings favour in our lives which brings blessings, prosperity and other good things. We must not abuse the grace of God and engage in immorality, by so doing we are crucifying Christ all over again and denying him.

We need to watch how we live. We must not use the grace of God as a license to immorality. Just because our sins has been forgiven and we are born again doesn’t mean we should do as we please and behave recklessly.


Jesus didn’t die for nothing, his death enabled God to have  mercy on us and gave us his grace. If we engage in immorality we are denying Christ because he died so that we cannot be slaves to sin but to have life and have it abundantly. His death reconciled us to God our Father and being called his children is the most beautiful thing ever.

God is watching us always, he never sleeps. You may do things in secret or far away from people just to protect your image but you cannot hide anything from God. He see’s everything including what’s in your heart. Don’t think because people don’t see you when you  engage  in immorality God doesn’t. He sees  you and you will answer to him and not people. Fear God than people.

Do not take the grace of God for granted. Don’t abuse it because any day can be your last day on earth and you don’t want to die having lost this precious gift. Thank God for his grace in your life because  It is because of it that you are alive.
It is because of it that you have a job, parents, money, friends, wife/husband, children and all you have.

IT IS NOT OVER YET



IT IS NOT OVER YET

By Teboho Masakala 



All of us has that moment where we feel like giving up. Where we try all to keep ahead but when that too fails we feel that the only option is to succumb and give up our dreams.  Life can be astonishing at times. When you plan your dreams, goals and how you want your life to be,   it unexpectedly pelts  a bomb at you and things end up so bad you end up thinking you are bewitched or someone is Jealous of you.


If you are still alive, do not give up. Being alive shows you still have a chance to dream and  plan your goals. The are four seasons in a year, each season has its own changes. When it is winter, the are changes that not only affect you but also the climate.

Don’t you know that all things work together for those who love the Lord? (Romans 8:28)  Do not give up because until God says it’s over, it is not over yet!  They can laugh at you when you are going through hard times and call you names, pointing fingers and saying all kinds of horrible things about you but do not worry because when your season comes, those who shunned you will be shamed.
God cannot give you dreams and ability to have vision and then take that away from you. Whatever you are going through it is just temporary, it is there to refine you, teach you and prepare you for what lies ahead.

So don’t look at your situation or whatever you are going through as a curse but see God in it and no matter how painful it is, God is planning something better for you and after conquering. The pain you  passed through will one day be a lesson to someone.

So whatever people say about you, do not mind or show that you care because it is not over Until God says so. As long as the is life in you, you must not give up. Let them laugh at you, they are people and will always talk but your season is coming and when it comes, God will shame all of them.

God will never let you as his child to suffer and whatever you are going through, he is with you and when your season comes he shall bring smiles, joy and you shall see his hand upon you and you will never go back because when it is time for your season that God brings. Your life will change and you shall never look  back.

Hold on to God, it is not over yet. No matter the pain you going through it is not over yet and you shall conquer because great is God in you than the devil in the world. Pursue your dreams, follow your heart because it is not over yet until God says so.
