The doctrine of one day at a
time
1. The believer with an ECS and the supergrace life regards every day as unto the Lord — Romans
14:5,6
2. Only the believer has the
grace provision to redeem time — Ephesians 5:15-18. The capital for the
purchase of time is called “greater grace” — James 4:6. This refers to the supergrace
life. God the Holy Spirit provides the basis for supergrace through His
gracious teaching ministry of doctrine in the function of GAP — John 14:26; 16:12-14; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 John 2:27.
3. Every day we live as a
believer in phase two is a gracious gift from God. The only time we possess to
honour God is the number of days in phase two — all provided by grace — Psalm
90:12; James 4:13-15.
4. The fact that the believer
lives another day on the earth is a sign of divine grace and faithfulness —
Lamentations 3:22,23.
5. God has provided soul
capital in the form of Bible doctrine to make each day count for His glory -
James 1:21. The “engrafted word” is Bible doctrine in the soul of the believer
through the daily function of GAP. So therefore the
importance of acquiring doctrine on a daily basis — Jeremiah 15:16; Matthew
4:4.
6. Every day is a special day
in phase two — John 11:9,10.
7. Each day in phase two the
believer must avoid mental attitude sins which produce self-induced misery.
Why? This is the worst category of the three categories of sin — Proverbs 27:1.
Furthermore, mental attitude sins are motivators for all other kinds of sins.
So every day you must have a relaxed mental attitude - 1 John 2:9-11.
8. Since there is no suffering
in phase three — Revelation 21:4 - God can only demonstrate His grace provision
for you now, in time. And it is one of God’s objectives in the days you have
left on this earth to show you something of great prosperity, to show you
something of His provision in adversity, so that no matter what your
circumstances may be at any time you can have great happiness through it all —
2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Psalm 102:1-3.
