Faith Avenue: Daily Devotional with Oladele Tobiloba Emmanuel WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE GRACIOUS GIVER! TEXT: [NIV] ROMANS 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? In our dealings with God as Christ believers, there's more to know about Him because it's the extent to which we know Him that will determine how much we'll be blessed. God is a gracious giver because He didn't spare what was so precious to Him which is only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. The gift of Jesus was gracious because grace came by Him and as we receive Him as our personal Lord and Savior, we've got the best of God. Jesus is the best gift ever given by God to all men so that we might settle down with God and move at His p. There's nothing God can hoard from a man because He didn't hoard Jesus but have Him to hus as the pro...
