will come here gathered and returned back the way you came when his presence and the bible declares that in his presence there is fullness of joy at his right hand our pleasures forevermore amen and amen god has been dealing with us across several aspects of the christian life the assignment of a man of god among other things is to expose the people who have been brought to you by grace to the precepts of the kingdom the principles that make for excellence in the kingdom and the bible lets us know that the growth of a believer is a school and so it is lined up online it is precept upon precept here a little there a little we're learning and building for many of us the truths that god is exposing here are truths that we probably may not have paid attention to to others god is bringing a refreshing to us and then for others he is giving us greater levels of enlightenment let me just tell you this results in this kingdom are not a coincidence find a way of convincing yourself results of any sort in this kingdom is intentional can be replicated again and again and again number two understand that results matter in this kingdom the bible says in john 15 and verse 8 it says hearing is our father glorified that he bear much fruit everybody say much fruit god intends for the saints in light to produce levels of results that will compel principalities and powers according to ephesians chapter 3 and verse 10 to the intent that onto principalities and powers in heavenly places might be made known by the church the manifold wisdom of god the bible says let your light so shine before men not just before angels he wants them to see your good works and in it they will glorify your father who is in heaven are we together so the truths that we communicate in this kingdom among many other factors they do the following number one they help us to know god understand this the primary assignment of revelation is to increase your illumination listen to me in this kingdom it is as far as your eyes can see not as fast is available as far as your eyes can see it says from where thou art abraham now it says lift up your eyes eastward northward southwest westward as far as your eyes can see to you will i give so revelation when we expose the believers to the word of god it does the following number one it helps us to know god it helps us to know god john chapter 17 and verse 3 says and this is eternal life that they may know thee the one only true god and jesus whom thou has sent that means in as much as eternal life comes instantaneously the experience of eternal life happens at the instance of revelation the unfolding of revelation begins to administer all of the dimensions of eternal life to the saints it is possible that in christ you can have that life haven't surrendered to jesus but never experience the riches that are contained in that life john 10 10 the b part says but i am come that ye may have life please pay attention and that you may have it more abundantly there is a difference between life and life abundant life talks about the impartation of the life of god and the security the eternal security that comes by reason of your commitment to jesus christ abundant life means the aforementioned in addition to an excelling life here on earth that is abundant life are we together but in this kingdom we rise through knowledge i went up by revelation so every time we expose ourselves to revelation understand number one that it helps us to know let the wise man not glory in his wisdom let the strong man not glory in his strength but let him that glorious glory in this that he understand it and he knoweth me the pride of the believer is that we know god and i've done a teaching on that please get the teaching you can find it online knowing god that according to scripture there are four basic ways that the saints can learn god can know god number one is through scriptures we learn the character and the principles of god in scripture number two we can learn god through the names of jesus that captured in every name of jesus is a revelation of something about himself rapha in manifestation is not sikeno sikenu in manifestation is not gyra although it is one and the same person so we can learn god through his names number three we can learn god by studying jesus the bible calls him the express image of the invisible god hebrews chapter 1 from verse 1 to 3 god who in sundry times and diverse manners speak in time past unto the fathers by the prophet the bible says verse 2 hath in this last day spoken to us by his son so god speaks by his son whom he had appointed heir of all things by whom also he made the world verse 3 the bible says who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person upholding all things by the word of his power and then number four we can learn god through our experiences job said i have heard of you with the hearing of the ears but now my eyes see at you your experience can capture a rich dimension of god this is why testimonies are important they not only show us the results that have happened to the testifiers they show us how else god can walk if you do not hear the testimony of the saints you will be limited by your understanding of how far god can go to see that his saints are glorified but in the testimony of the testifiers you you will see how god is able to navigate through situations and you see a display of his power his wisdom his love and his authority over satan and over situations and circumstances are we together so the word of god helps us to know god number two the word of god equips us to walk in victory the word of god equips us to walk in victory an excellent life is a product of knowledge josiah chapter 4 and verse 6 an excellent christian life please pay attention is a product of knowledge exact knowledge my people it says even though they are my people they are destroyed for the lack of knowledge there is such a state a believer can assume called the lack of knowledge and he says my people there are things if you do not know as pertain longevity you may cut short your life in an untimely way there are things if you do not know about the blessing of the lord upon the saints you may live a miserable life even though saved even though born again there are things if you do not know about the holy spirit you may rob yourself of an opportunity for a rich fellowship that translates to growth there are things if you do not know about men you may receive promises and visions and prophecies and yet your life remains grounded almost forever why do we come before god to learn we come as a way of admitting our levels of ignorance unashamedly that when we come before him we come open and we say lord i confess that i do not know so far help me and the bible says blessed are the meek there is a reward for them they are the ones who inherit the earth why do we come before god to correct our perceptions our perceptions the bible says be careful so that what you call light be no darkness there is a way that cement right onto a man the bible says but the end thereof it's terrible that you can walk in error for a long time believing that what you are holding on to is light and then in the presence of greater light you will see the futility of what you had called light how do you know you are encountering god when your darkness is exposed to you [Music] when the areas of darkness are exposed you know that god is there so that you now can embrace light isaiah chapter 60 and verse 1 it says arise shine for your light is come the glory of the lord is risen upon you and ezekiel chapter two from verse one and two he asked ezekiel to arise and ezekiel did not have the power to arise ezekiel chapter two please from verse one and two it says son of man stand up upon your feet and i will speak to you rise from that level and he did not have the strength and the bible says verse two the spirit entered into me there is an energizing that comes when his word comes the spirit of god hides in his word the spirit entered me when he speak unto me and set me upon my feet we do not just stand because we are tired of sitting we stand because there is an energizing that comes at the instance of his word why am i telling you this tonight i want to cultivate in you a passion for specific spiritual knowledge can i submit to you there are many kinds of spiritual information across the body of christ that are completely useless as far as the excelling of the saints is concerned the bible says you shall know the truth it is not knowledge that delivers you it is the information the correctness of the information you know you can know a lie and it will not set you free you are not ignorant there is something in your mind but the information is inaccurate it matters that what you know is the truth you can know an opinion an opinion does not set free you can know a generally accepted opinion it is only the truth that makes free how do you know it is the truth by the liberating power it brings to your life any information that keeps you in bondage is not the truth if it is the truth it sustains within himself itself the ability to liberate you are we together jesus spake a parable to help believe us and it is called the parable of the sower he spoke about four kinds of soils nothing was wrong with the sower nothing was wrong with the seed which the bible refers to as the heart of man then the bible says there were four kinds of soils that the seed was sown on a rocky ground by the wayside on ponds and then on good ground and the bible says the seed that falls on good ground are they that hear the word and understand it what makes your ground good is understanding what makes your ground barren is lack of understanding and when satan finds out that you do not have understanding he comes immediately and he picks away that seed are we learning something tonight so every time you come to church don't carry a religious a religious understanding oh we're just coming to sing and let's hear what happens and let's see people fall down no no no no come with intention rejoice while you are coming because you know that you're not part or your ipad or whatever device you are going to leave writing something that makes you wiser that makes you better the assignment of the priest is to bring by the spirit life applicable truths not useless truths that just information that are uncoordinated and cannot produce exact results listen be tired of random information around your life without an ability to prove truth is only useful when you can connect it to the result it produces don't give me an ingredient i will not be needing in the meal i seek to prepare if my assignment is to cook fried rice and you bring beautiful two bars of yam i will keep them there they are not relevant as far as what i intend to produce [Music] there is the knowledge that puffs up and has no results attached to it the bible says that we receive with meekness the engrafted word with meekness a preparedness of heart are we together you will be surprised at how easy it is to live a victorious life when you understand the systemic character of god understanding the systemic character of god is the key to living an excelling life there is jesus the way the methodology of the kingdom jesus the way he shows you the path that moves you from point a to point b and you see while he is teaching you your life may carry a of defeat and failure don't worry about your current state dr miles monroe defines fact as the present state of things the truth is the way it ought to be from the eyes of god fact can be deceptive the fact may be that you may not be empowered financially as at the moment the fact can be that you are still experiencing some level of ill health that is fact the present state of things but hallelujah the bible tells us that transitions are possible in this kingdom it says while we look not at the things that are seen but the things that are unseen for the things that are seen are temporal temporal means subject to change under a certain condition not every condition a certain condition when you create the condition that sponsors change change will happen and the bible tells us the condition for change as we behold him as in a mirror the bible says we are changed from glory to glory into the image that we are seeing so whilst you are seated here you are not just listening to a man preach you are not just exhausting the time allocated for a church service no in the realm of the spirit there is an ascendance happening to you truly truly there is an intellectual ascendance there is a spiritual ascendance you are you are sustaining the ability to command results be patient with yourself and give yourself some time submit yourself that's what the word baptism is from the greek word baptism immerse yourself into a body of truth it says meditate on these things give yourself holy to them and it leaves you with an assurance that your profiting will appear unto all nothing speaks at the beginning it is always at the end that it speaks so an attack on your prayer life an attack on your not just your word study life an attack on your ability to listen is a real attack you know in a church service like this the devil too tries to loiter around deceiving people distracting people the word of god is coming from heaven to change to build to transform and here comes the devil the master of the flesh realm distracting with a phone call distracting with some business idea distracted with all kinds of things and then we are lost and our word comes and does not find us jacob said the lord was in this place and i knew not it is not only when hands are stretched and miracles begin to happen people are falling under the anointing that the holy spirit is moving no he writes on the wings of his word that sound that enters your ears is not sound that leaves the mic alone as it leaves there is an increasing many years ago the lord showed me a vision you've heard me share it in this vision i saw a very big like an ancient gate and then that door a door really it had smaller doors the vision zoomed to me and i saw smaller doors and the doors were opening and closing opening and closing and for every door that opened light would emanate from it and i was wondering what this vision meant and then the lord began to speak to me i saw scriptures written on every small door and i learned by the speakings of the spirit that for every revelation there is an energizing there is an anointing that barks every scripture you see when that scripture opens up the grace to defend it also comes so the truth you know that you cannot defend has not yet become light to you ever learning the bible says but never coming to the knowledge of the truth ever learning [Music] this is why as ministers of the gospel we must be apt to teach god's word because when people lend us their attention for an hour two hours three hours it is evil it is sin it is wicked to just keep communicating opinions that are not life applicable it is dangerous to keep believing and then find out that what you have believed is a lie [Music] you see the reason why we pray you see the reason why we worship we cry unto him to show us mercy and grand grace that the light that comes from him will end us with the purity with which it left heaven unadulterated by our ignorance the ignorance of the vessel first something can leave god so pure and powerful and land upon a mind that is not transformed and nonsense will be communicated out of it to god's people there are secrets in this kingdom there is nobody many of us have houses and you have many rooms or chambers in your house you don't bring a stranger into your living room do you do that no a stranger may just wait somewhere outside or at best maybe in your living room but the more the relationship keeps growing you can trust them and even take them to that holy of holies the bible says the secret things of the lord are with them that fear him listen we excel in this kingdom on the strength of the secrets that we have and we hold i have shared with you and let me recap on this that when it has to do with the pursuit of god and the knowledge of god even in heaven we will continue to seek him and know him there is no exhaustion are we together now we will keep learning him and knowing him from glory to glory but as far as living a victorious life is concerned the reality of the divine life the truth that you need are finite they are not infinite if you have the idea that the truths the body of spiritual truth are located for your victory are infinite you are wrong the truths that make wonders out of believers are finite like the course content of a student as you saw john college there is an exact course content learning does not stop but you can know that the cost content that makes for medicine and surgery the course content that makes for architecture you can exhaust it and you are awarded a degree as proof that you have exhausted that body of knowledge while learning continues you can stand proud knowing that you've gone through that curriculum that's how it is spiritually you can handle these truths and know by the privilege of god's mercy and grace that when it comes to financial prosperity i have found the key when it comes to longevity i have found the key when it comes to shattering the power of darkness over my life and all around me i have found a key this is what is translated into dominion dominion it's not an impartation you've heard me say dominion is the resultant effect of your piecing together these truths so when darkness comes you have within you the spiritual arsenals to launch a darkness when failure comes you have within you the spiritual arsenal this is what maturity in the spirit is about maturity in the spirit is not measured by how frequent you have gone to church no not necessarily you can be in church for a very long time and yet you are not transformed by this truth may the lord grant us grace in the name of jesus christ may the lord grant us the capacity to maximize every moment we spend in his presence in prayer in worship and when the word comes embrace it allow the world to change you and you watch what your life becomes in the name of jesus christ very briefly let me talk tonight about a subject that has not been understood in the body of christ properly in my opinion i think that there has been a lot of confusion as far as understanding this subject is concerned i've heard people preach about this subject i've heard people make a lot of propositions many people have they have made known what can happen to a believer when you possess the understanding of this truth but not many people have been able to walk in light of it the grace of god please write it down and begin to pray in the spirit as the lord grants us fire tonight that comes from heaven the grace of god [Music] peruse is someone praying [Music] oh my life is about to change pray in the name of jesus christ in the name of jesus christ two scriptures second corinthians chapter 13 and verse 14 were discussing the grace of god please read with me believe us if you can see it projected ready one to read the grace of the lord jesus christ and the love of god and the communion of the holy ghost be with you all amen one more time the grace of the lord jesus christ and the love of god and the communion of the holy ghost be with you all amen scripture number two second timothy chapter two and verse one [Music] therefore my son be strong in the grace that is in christ jesus find your strength find your audacity find your confidence find your security not just in your ability not just in your wisdom my son please keep the scripture he says be strong in the grace that is in christ jesus [Music] let's add one more scripture ephesians chapter two please from verse eight to nine our online family following from whatever television station and whatever online platform i wanted to pay attention have something to write don't just listen you're not just watching a program god is coming to you to change your life get something to write settle down and understand it says for by grace are ye saved and that true faith it is not of yourselves it is the gift of god by grace are you saved by grace are you saved the subject of the grace of god is one that has been i will say it has been taught quite frequently in the body of christ i think with there's a there's a great sense of awareness the average believer understands that there is something he has an idea of something called the grace of god he may not fully understand the scope of it and how he works but at least he knows enough that whoever by any means seems to possess that attribute called the grace of god is empowered supernaturally to live a victorious life but many believers have not understood the scope of what the bible calls grace nor the administration of that grace this is my assignment tonight to help us understand from scripture what the bible refers to as grace and then to help show us the dimensions of grace and by the spirit of god show us how to receive grace and the administration of grace are we blessed the bible is full of scriptures that talk about the grace of god i just took a few of them there are many others grace let's attempt to define grace let's attempt to define grace ephesians 1 verse 3 you ask the average believer please look up and by this teaching i do not intend to create any controversy or finger pointing you have to be very careful every time you receive truths there is no tell them there is no say to them there is no such thing in this house and should not be in the body of christ the truths that come out for your lifting when you benefit from those truths then you can extend the same in love to as many who are ignorant or not not holistic about that concept are we together now yes the bible says ephesians 1 verse 3 please it says blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ look up please it says who had blessed us with how many all spiritual blessings everyone please say after me all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in christ this is the definition of grace the grace of god is defined as the blessing of god all spiritual blessings that reside in heavenly places in christ is called grace the first mistake i want to correct about our idea and the subject of grace is the very definition that has existed for a long time in the body of christ the average believer defines grace as unmerited access that is not a lie but it's not the whole truth just defining grace as unmerited access i understand that grace is access but it is not only access i understand that there is a dimension of grace that is truly unmerited but to believe that generically speaking grace is on merited access is a well-intentioned well-meaning definition but is completely inaccurate [Music] the very definition is what sponsors irresponsibility in believers and now creates a a laxity to press into the dimensions of grace are we together so the average believer says grace is unmerited and here's the idea if god wants to bless you god can just bless you he chooses whoever he wants to bless and engrace and if it so happens to be you then you receive it the moment it comes to your life doors just open people just help you mountains no no no even as limited as we are we have more intelligence than that the god of the universe will not design a system so flawed [Music] so many people sit down and continue to confess grace and believe that they have grace and yet their lives don't move doors remain short they remain mediocre they fail and they don't make progress they don't represent the purposes of god to the degree that god intends and after a while they begin to wonder themselves what is wrong with my idea the grace of god so we have defined grace i'm going to give you other definitions but i need to establish a few things the grace of god is not limited to access alone no and the grace of god is not entirely unmerited that is an incorrect communication the bible does not teach that it is only give us the scripture first peter chapter 5 and verse 10 let me allow the bible speaks for itself [Music] the bible says but the god of all grace everybody say all grace he never said the god of grace he said the god of all grace now suggests immediately that grace is dimensional the god of all grace just like all wisdom all grace means that it is dimensional is that true please sit down there are largely two dimensions of grace not the only ones but for our executives of scripture tonight there are two dimensions of grace listen carefully there is what we call in theology the saving grace the grace that saves are we together now there is the saving grace according to ephesians chapter 2 from verse 8 and 9 the grace that saves what is the character of this dimension of grace the the miracle that comes from that grace listen carefully the miracle that comes from that grace is not produced by the recipient the recipient is only a benefactor of that grace that miracle is called in theology the finished work of christ are we together now so when we talk about the saving grace we're talking about the grace that is imparted upon the believer number one to help you believe the gospel and then it is that grace that is upon you when you do receive what we call the finished work of christ the substitutionary sacrifice [Music] jesus christ did everything alone on the cross as far as the price for sin is concerned no man assisted him man assisted him to carry the cross but the entire spiritual journey the transaction spiritually speaking he did it alone are we together the bible says it is not of works what works not just the works of the law number one that are unable to save you and then number two any effort to save yourself outside of what jesus has done on the cross is vain and is futile this is doctrine from scripture we are saved on account of the substitutionary sacrifice of jesus christ which he did alone his passion his death his burial his resurrection his ascension his enthronement was entirely done alone no human being sustains in himself the ability to save himself the mere fact that we did not create ourselves means that we are unable to save ourselves is that true only the creator sustains that ability to help his creation and jesus came as a representation of the love of the father please understand this i've taught you this here that the one of the major reasons why jesus came was as a representation of the love of the father to man and then creation he demonstrated the love of the father through his substitutionary sacrifice his death his burial and his resurrection so the saving grace is the grace that helps you to hear and believe that gospel if that grace is not upon you you will not believe that report you will hear it like many people hear it today and they had in their hearts and ignored they said this is some christian nonsense but if that grace is upon you then you are caught to the heart that was the grace that came upon 3 000 men on the day of pentecost the bible says they were caught to the heart and they said men and brethren what shall we do he said repent for the remission of your sins and then you shall receive this promise for the promises unto you and to your children your children's children those who are afar off as many as the lord will call saving grace but there is another dimension of grace called the enabling grace this grace does not get things done for you it empowers you so that even though the effort is being exerted by you but it is not in the strength of the flesh [Music] are we together now watch this a classic example of enabling grace is this mic i am holding who is doing the speaking who is doing the amplifying can i amplify my voice but is this speaking the potential of this mic is when i am in partnership with its speaking the assignment is to make what i have released and amplified beyond my effort are you getting the point now this is the dimension of grace the body of christ does not understand and so here's what we do god your grace is able to lift me god your grace is able to bring destiny helpers and god is saying this is not how it works the label of the fool where yet every one of them the grace that enables this is what apostle peter was teaching so when he says the god of all grace the grace that saves and the grace that empowers if i lay hands on someone who is on a wheelchair and the person gets up from that wheelchair i do not have that power but there is an engracing by the spirit is that true that person would not stand up just in his house like that he had to come to the house of god he had to release his faith and the man of god had to minister to him as you are sitting like this god wants to touch you god wants to bless you but you will be surprised even though he wants to touch you he will keep quiet as though he cannot do it but he ministers to me now and i say the power of god is touching you you begin to see it happen it is not just when i started speaking that he wanted to do it he's always wanted to do it but if you do not know how the enabling grace works you will keep waiting forever if you're with me say amen so the bible lets us know that it is all grace first peter 5 10. let's hurry up please first peter 5 10. let's read together let me show you what grace does when it is entire are we together ready one to read but the god of all grace who had called us unto his eternal glory by christ jesus after that he have suffered a while number one make you perfect number two establish you number three strengthen you number four settle you all grace all grace [Music] all grace [Music] there is the grace that brings salvation it is saving grace but there is the grace that empowers the believer to walk in victory for instance the grace that comes upon your prayer life granting you the capacity to pray and to be diligent in prayer if you don't pray even if the grace is on you it will be unfruitful because the grace depends on your participatory contribution now when you are praying you are not neglecting what christ has done you are taking advantage of what he has done and you are making use of it are we together now watch this please [Music] if you want to take tea you bring your milk you bring your whatever beverage you're going to use sugar or honey whatever it is now most of those beverages have been made already you don't need to make it is that true it's already there but who does the mixing as you mix it it becomes tea even if the tea was made for you you have to turn it into a cup and even if he's stoned in a cup for you you have to pick it even if he speaks for you you have to put it in your mouth even if it's put in your mouth you have to swallow it there must be if it must enter your system and profit you there must be a participatory role now listen the role that we play on account of what christ has done to make good what is finished in our life now in experience is what the bible calls faith faith the name given to the participatory rule without faith the potential of god's grace can never be experienced [Music] the second era i would say respectfully that i may want to with every sense of respect correct in the body of christ is the idea that the only thing you do because there are people who have agreed that you have something to do but the only thing people say to do is to repeat what god has said just repeat what god has said and it is done it's not entirely true now speaking is a fundamental law of faith that releases the grace of god but not the only thing if all you do is to keep saying i am blessed and i am lifted i go from glory to glory in truth you will not go down your speaking will allow the holy spirit come to honor what you are saying you have said by showing you what else to do are you seeing now [Music] there are many people who do not know what to do over their finances they just declare i will never be poor you are not lying but you will be very limited there are people who don't have refused to open for them and they just say all i know is that i'm not going to remain down you are right the bible says the righteousness that is of faith speaks on these wise but speaking is not the only thing we didn't see abraham speaking alone the bible tells us that abraham is our portrait of how to maximize grace that comes from god through faith is that true isaiah 51 i think from verse 1 and 2 look unto abraham your father he says understudy abraham verse 2 now look unto abraham your father and to sarah that body for i called him alone and blessed him and i increased him that means study abraham's life what happened to abraham when god called him there was a conversation between abraham and god so we see speaking but that was not the only thing that made him a benefactor of the promise we see obedience we see the endurance of patience is that true [Music] the god of all grace perfect you establish you strengthen you settle you let's define grace what is the grace of god number one i wrote here and i want you to listen carefully to this definition before you write i said here that the grace of god is a state of consciousness the grace of god is a disposition of understanding of the limitless provisions and the possibilities that are contained in god but only accessed through the office of the christ this is grace the first definition of grace is that it is a disposition of understanding it is a consciousness of the limitless provisions the vastness of god's power the fastness of god's blessings all that makes god god is called grace grace is like a warehouse that contains the entire riches of heaven the entire riches that are contained in god that warehouse the consciousness of the existence of such a possibility is grace listen none of us here is struggling to breathe in and out do you know why it is not only because your nose can take in air and bring out air it is because there is a consciousness in you that there is a limitless abundance the moment you are aware that the air here is limited we're going to have bitterness we're going to have jealousy everybody will try to protect his portion of if you bring your nose near someone's someone's circumference of air the person says go away because there is an awareness of limitation there has to be an awareness in the saints of the vastness of the riches of christ that the reason why god is lifting another is not why another is down that everybody can equally excel and rise and thrive and god still remains full [Music] are we together now if you have that understanding please listen you have to learn this if you have that understanding of the fast riches the grace of god a consciousness a disposition of understanding that when it has to do with the healing power of god is unlimited when it has to do with passion supplying passion just because god has given me a grace to love him he can give another person and another person and another person when you know this the doctrine of superstar christianity is unnecessary because the same lord can be reached onto how many inasmuch as there is the election of grace as we call it but i'm telling you everyone can press into the fullness of the dimensions of christ all of us seated here can prosper all of us seated here can know god and love god with such passion every one of us here can be a custodian of a dimension of god's anointing every one of us can make advancement and yet god is still saying who is left in as much as everyone has received that our partaking of this does not deplete him please pay attention it is because we understand the vastness of god's grace that we can give freely without withholding if you are not aware of this consciousness it will be difficult for you to give freely [Music] imagine if for every one era or one dollar that goes out of your account ten naira comes will you be greedy [Music] confess but because you know that if i take 10 naira it goes down 100 naira it goes down say no i've tried that's gone down i won't i won't do that to myself but imagine if there is a system that makes it to continue multiplying this is this is why god is a giver he gives because there is no depletion in his economy [Music] you have to understand this this is the revelation of grace that you must have the all-surpassing riches of christ the bible calls it spiritual blessings ephesians chapter one verse three spiritual blessings in heavenly places but now let me tell you this there are many other kinds of spiritual blessings but this one we are talking about if it is the grace of god you can never access it negating christ jesus christ is the only door that leads to receiving genuine grace as you see now because there are many people that try to route the grace of god and they take jesus out of the equation no the bible says every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in christ the office of the christ is the only office by which men can access genuine grace that comes from god is called the grace of our lord jesus christ the grace of the lord jesus christ so anyone who truly desires that grace you don't just reach for the grace ignoring jesus he is the dog that leads to that grace are you seeing that now do you know why this is important you'll be learning something i'll share with you a bit a bit after now when people see the dexterity of this grace upon your life chances are that they will bypass jesus and yet won the grace you have to be able to defend how this grace came because men will tell you look i don't love jesus i'm not interested in him if his wisdom if he's this pray for me and you tell him look the administration of this grace demands that you must come through the door the door means the authorized channel if if a visitor follows the window and enters your house he's in your house but is he welcome what do you call such a person a thief a thief is a visitor but he's unwelcome and unneeded if we do not understand the concept of grace accurately many people will continue to boast in the flesh and jesus will eventually be out of the picture if it is genuine grace you cannot take jesus out of the picture no he remains at the epicenter of everything grace is god speaking to us so the grace of god referred to the entire bank of god's riches and god's blessings salvation being the first but not the only salvation being the first but not the only let's attempt to list the rest mercy deliverance favor speed all these possibilities are captured in that bank called grace mercy is grace faith is grace deliverance is grace anointing is grace provided it came from god through christ to you the spiritual name is grace please do do we have this understanding now yes so when we say it is the grace of god you are right how did you do this kind of thing how did you build this it is the grace of god what you mean is that the possibilities that i'm enjoying came from this spiritual reservoir it came through christ to me and now i am enjoying it the grace of god the second definition of grace very quickly the second definition of grace which is equally useful for our teaching tonight is the empowerment the spiritual empowerment or enablement write it down please the spiritual empowerment or the enablement that results from this consciousness what consciousness the consciousness that god is infinitely limitless the consciousness that everything i ever need for life and godliness is in christ when you have that consciousness that god is a giver and that this god and this kingdom that we so talk and boast about is a compendium of infinite possibilities when you understand this there is an empowerment that comes from that consciousness the name of that empowerment and that enablement is called grace so if i believe that in christ healing is possible there is an empowerment that comes based on that consciousness are we together if i believe that it is true god prospers there is an empowerment the assignment of that empowerment is to bring you into the experience of what you have believed listen carefully the assignment of that empowerment that we call grace grace as an enablement grace has helped grace as empowerment has the assignment to bring you into the experience of the things you have believed so if i believe that god is a lifter is it true from scripture yes has he lifted people from scripture yes by having that consciousness that god is a lifter the grace for lifting comes to my life in honor it comes to honor the fact that i believe that dimension of god and let me tell you this when that empowerment comes because grace can teach it begins to open me up to the participatory dynamics that makes for lifting so i find myself operating at a frequency of wisdom that many human beings would not be able to have the wisdom emanates from that empowerment if i believe that god can make ordinary men powerful i believe that because it is true from scripture [Music] that grace that anointing of the holy spirit comes upon me and i'm able to prove it here and now with my life that god empowers people so i can speak to someone and say by tomorrow return lifted and the person just leaves believing that it was just a word that came on him and by the next day that word that came on him will start drawing destiny help us will start making him act in a certain way until prophecy comes to pass it's called the enabling grace are we together now if i pray for you and i say in the name of jesus the prophetic or apostolic or pastoral calling upon your life let it be found to flames if you believe what i have said the grace that empowers you will come on you it is that grace that will start planting an appetite for prayer because in any case without prayer you will not grow in any case without one story you will not grow but the empowerment to do it does not come from you the will to do it and the discipline to do it comes from you but the empowerment to do six hours three hours is not your strength [Music] are we learning so look up it is true that the grace of god looks like you are not doing anything that is not entirely true the grace of god grants you salvation so that you are in christ that becomes your legitimate ground for receiving every other thing the moment the saving grace is administered to you what is the assignment of the saving grace it helps you believe the gospel without the saving grace at work in your life you cannot believe the gospel the saving grace helps you to ris to believe the gospel and then it is responsible for the impartation of zoe god's life from that time onwards the level of grace that is at work in you is called the enabling grace the grace that empowers you the energy is supernatural but the doing is still you [Music] so i pick up my bible by the spirit of god and i begin to study ordinarily i should not find anything ordinarily speaking i should not see anything that culminates to revelation except that i'm not just reading it in the flesh what does it mean to read in the flesh by your efforts only engaging your sensory perceptions now whilst i'm reading the holy ghost you see that now he comes and breathes upon me by that grace he has given me and suddenly i just turned to a scripture i just feel like going online to type something and you find one scripture then you see a 19-minute message or a 21 minutes message you had no business going there but there was a grace it was responding to your participatory you see that now you were participating with that grace that 19 minutes video leads you to a link leads you to a website now you are found truth and you kneel down there crying how did these people know that this is what i was looking for grace [Music] grace grace grace god knows that the call upon your life will require stretching and mentorship and discipline and so once you are praying and say god show me mercy all of a sudden you feel led to go to the market but why should i go to the market after the rain once you are in that market then you will see a poster that poster leads you to a crusade that leads you to a church that leads you to the answer to your prayer that is grace it was grace moving you all the way but you cooperated with that grace that's why you are seeing the potential you would have ignored it and the grace will still remain there listen did you know in second kings chapter 4 the oil had the ability to solve that woman's problem but the oil could not multiply itself on its own there was something she had to do to release the potential of that oil what was her assignment increase the vessel when she came to the prophet the prophet said you are a prophet's wife no this is not how god works you are sure you are a prophet's wife yes sir my husband is late he said no there must be something in your house what do you have said nothing he said no i said oh oh yeah and the oil was listening to the conversation and said for years i have been here you don't know what would have happened to your life you never would have tested of poverty if you are recognized that i am here waiting for your participation as soon as the prophet gave her counsel he said i know where the problem is you have been waiting for the oil to find its way to fuel vessels you go and borrow vessel don't borrow oil but go and borrow vessel whatever it will take you you complete with your neighbor help me don't be ashamed go and outsource these things and when she came listen carefully listen he said now that you haven't shut your door and begin to pour and the oil said now that you have done your part watch and see that this was no ordinary [Music] oil so god gives you your finances and in your dreams you're having visions of you thriving and yet you are going down because the grace has been waiting but there is no knowledge to know what to do with that grace you see that faith is not acting faith is acting based on the conditions tied to the promise there is always a condition you don't choose what to do you find out what you are supposed to do deuteronomy chapter 28 from verse one and two it shall come to pass if thou shalt diligently hack into the voice of the lord the bible says to observe and to do all his commandments which i command you this day it says that the lord will set thee on high above all nations of the earth every time god speaks the grace to make what he said come to pass that's hovering around the vicinity where that word was spoken but the grace keeps waiting there who can believe that word and find out the condition that makes for the activation of that grace listen when it was time for jesus to come upon the earth there was an engracing that came by the holy spirit waiting for that virgin in this case mary if mary refused and said thank you for all this your story gabriel go back to heaven and tell god i'm not stupid he would have respected her will and the ward alongside the grace would have looked for another person but here's what mary said be it unto me according to your word the moment that happened the grace called the power of the highest that overshadows how shall these things be she asks an honest question i'm willing to cooperate but can a woman give back without a man and gabriel said leave the rest just understand your own part is your own part is to agree god is not a demon he will not force a baby inside your womb [Music] and she said be it unto me the same way i hope you know that she had the responsibility of carrying that baby for nine months and can i tell you honestly i believe that she went through the normal things women go through when they are pregnant don't you think she was smiling every day carrying a heavy jesus no there were times she felt this jesus i they told me you are the king of kings you are inside my stomach i am tired but her will kept playing the role when it was time she would have refused and said you are not coming out you will know now that you are inside my stomach she had to cooperate are we together now yes why didn't jesus just jump out one morning and say thank you i was only waiting to be nine months he had to subscribe to the process of delivery when she gave birth [Music] why am i teaching you this please place value on what i'm teaching you by the privilege of god's grace this man standing before you i'm not in ignorance over what i'm saying i understand this thing many believers continue to live defeated lives in this kingdom because they do not understand the character of this enabling grace the effort the empowerment does not come from you but the action of obedience comes from you and until that action is taken the grace remains futile so god speaks to you and tells you you are going to be a ceo you will build a foundation that will go around the globe the moment you believe him listen carefully the grace that's hanging around your vicinity but it doesn't mean anything is built you will keep seeing visions till you get old if you remain like that the day you now say listen the day you now say i believe let me start making efforts let me go and buy a book on building a business you are now cooperating with that grace [Music] a book that ordinarily you shouldn't have understood he will empower your mind and you will start understanding and whilst you are reading you will find a phone number you will come for koinonia like this and that grace will shift you to sit down near somebody who has a foundation and then you will see something written so so foundation and you say wow this is amazing you run a foundation you see i've been running this for 26 years and the holy spirit will say you see now that is the person i wanted you to come to meet now you partner with that person watch grace at work and the person says okay i will call someone in uk to help you a connection is coming it is not your wisdom that's why at the end of it when you stand in front of that edifice if they ask you how did it happen you will say grace because the dynamics but i'm telling you if you sat down at home there you will be very surprised that that grace will not work look at me there are many many people who have not taken advantage of this grace there are many men and women of god who want to rise to positions of influence they want to be great they want to carry power but they just say in jesus name i won't be small and they are surprised that they remain small as if god did not hear them let me tell you what the problem is here is the problem you do not understand that this grace is activated through knowledge that leads to obedience and it is at the point of your obedience that the potential of that grace is released it is at the point of obedience listen to me faith is not saying what god has said faith is doing what god has said you can start by saying homologue confession repeat as you have heard but it should not stop there [Music] so come dave god tells this man i want to leave you as a worshipper and take you to the nations of the earth whether it comes by prophecy or it comes by a scripture that is found he can decide to say god you have given me a word i'm going to the nations and he will sit down there the day he goes to get a guitar or a keyboard he is now participating with that grace as you see now you go to the market as you are saving heaven is watching you he buys a guitar whether he can play it or not buys a keyboard and the moment you do that you have shown god that you are interested he will now lead you to the person who will teach you you see you see him walking with you i believe that god has called me to serve his purposes in the capacity that i serve and i thank god for it but sitting down to fold my arms and say the grace of god is at work in my life i will be surprised till tomorrow let me show you a scripture [Music] grant us grace oh lord grant us grace grant us wisdom first corinthians 15 and verse 10 i want us to read it as loud as we can when we see it first corinthians 15 media help us verse 10 everyone please read if you're a child of god and you believe in jesus ready one to read but by the grace of god i am what i am stop stop stop how do we become in this kingdom by the grace of god for by the grace of god i am this politician that i am for by the grace of god i am this man of god that i am by the grace of god i am this ceo this billionaire by the grace of god i am this that i am but here is this he says and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain stop [Music] so we're examining three things now the first is that the summary is that it is grace but hey so that you don't carry this confusion hold on let me explain to you that grace can be wasted let me show you how to waste it to sit down and fold your arms believing that everything is all right it's called making the grace of god please keep the scripture there in vain how did i maximize that grace next expression everyone read one to read but i labored more abundantly than they are stop don't rush don't rush so number one i am what i am by the grace of god number two the grace came upon me but the grace did not meet ignorance the grace made me laboring the labor dimension of faith the grace met me looking around for a shock the grace met me learning how to start the business the grace came upon me and i did not sit down you are going to start a school the grace met me going around abuja and understood in schools as proof that i believe what god said [Music] god told me i will become a grace man of god the grace met you going to men of god who represent your future and listening and learning [Music] it says i labeled more than you all [Music] the higher the tenacity of your participatory corporation the higher the grace walks and speaks in your life grace is not a license for laziness hear me believe us grace is not a license for laziness grace is a system of advantage that we label circumspectly because we are empowered by the spirit it takes effort to pray it takes effort to study the word it takes the audacity of faith to remain in the presence of failure and continue because god said so [Applause] the bible says when you find yourself participating that way then grace can speak for you are we together grace it says yet not i but the grace of god that means it was not by my energy in as much as you found me as paul praying in as much as you found me studying in as much as you found me preaching the gospel regardless the persecution there was an energizing within me that was more than me brothers and sisters please hear me i beg you and i beseech you in the name of jesus the son of the living god to understand what i'm teaching you otherwise your christian experience will be so frustrated apostle god has shown you grace you are right but please explain to me what you mean if you mean that i stand down quietly grace does not work like that [Music] the grace that saves is loitering around here but there are people if you die now without jesus you are going straight to hell bishop david will say any christianity that makes god absolutely responsible for the outcome of your life is an irresponsible christianity there must always be something now let me tell you what it means to walk in the flesh to walk in the flesh means to depend on your effort to walk in the flesh means to believe that it is absolutely because of what you have done you do not need god it is because of my human connection my wisdom it is because of this [Music] the compassion of the father was at the mercy of the sacrifice of jesus if jesus did not endure listen to me when the nails hit the hand of jesus he didn't keep quiet and say finish it let me die i'm the savior he felt the pain let me show you and make the sacrifice of his son that's what produced grace love and a participatory effort there are many of us looking at me the grace of god keeps hovering around you bringing open doors that an inaccurate spiritual understanding continues to close let me tell you what many of us are doing this illusion that we have one day go better is a slang that we use in nigeria and parts of africa to mean one day arbitrarily without any effort or contribution on your own path things will change is a joke joke multiplied god has called me to be a visionary politician obtain grace from god and sit in your office in the night begin to strategize how to rise to that position as you are strategizing the spirit of god is seeing your diligence and the increasing of god is coming to empower you hear me some of you need to politely go back home and call your family and say i now find out why we keep praying and those keep closing because there is something to do to rise [Music] there are people who god will speak to and say tomorrow you'll be a director of an institute there but the director requires you have at least a master's or a phd or become a professor if you obtain grace and go to school you are participating with that grace to rise to that position of influence it will not come and meet you at that state because that industry requires that decree of qualification so training diligence studies knowledge are all our participatory efforts to make good the grace of god let me submit to you and i say this sincerely by the god of my salvation every night including today as tired as i am when i just returned from lagos you know that i've been to a belkota from abelcutta the men's conference four square to lagos i'm back straight here and after this there will be people to see and after all it doesn't matter what time as a principle and as a discipline i must listen to this message this night myself before i sleep don't convert people's crowns until you find out the sacrifice that those crowns are standing [Music] oh you are just lucky it's just god's grace business people hear me this may be the holy spirit speaking to you i know i will prosper oil and gas i know i'll prosper banking god showed me you are right but believe me remaining at that state will only frustrate you and bring reproach to your life these signs shall follow them follow means you are moving follow means you are taking steps the grace of god to empower esther to receive favor was there but if esther sat down she would not find favor with the king she said you know what i need to see this king my people are about to die i believe i'm favored so i'm going to see him if i perish listen now i'm not encouraging you to be a hustler that thing we call hustle blindly trying to make things work don't do that but have you noticed that people who don't give up never end up in shame for some reason have you seen people like that they may not even be very serious believers as soon as one dog closes they have no time to mourn they force another one to open they are losing their job they grieve for two hours and they are up with their cv again [Music] they have an e-version they have their bag with the the cv any person you want they are prepared there are people like that are you into real estate they will say yes in two nights they will read about real estate more than people who have been meeting 10 years because they will not let that opportunity go sooner or later my brothers and sisters you will be surprised to find out that something will work i'm not just marketing flesh i'm teaching you how the grace of god works hear me there are many of you for a long time god has shown you that there are mantles there are anointings you've had dreams you've had visions let me see what you are doing as proof that you believe what god showed you for many of us this is what we are doing we are folding our arms oh one day the fathers will die and it will be our turn [Music] what sort of thinking is that oh i know don't laugh at me i know one day i will rise it doesn't work that way i know god will prosper me show me the books you bought in honor of that word show me the uncommon mentos you are pursuing in the area of finances with proven results as proof that you believe you are a kingdom financier [Music] found out respectfully speaking that if the body of christ does not learn the labor dimension of faith we will continue to mock ourselves jumping at confessions that will indefinitely remain in the realm of the spirit not inaccurate but that lack of balance and completion is where our frustrations lie [Music] joshua there is a grace for victory upon you but it will not be without any effort from you you are going to go round you don't have the power to fight but there must be a token of contribution from you get the priests go round i will sing unto the lord for he has triumphed gloriously the horses and his riders have been thrown into the sea they won it's like going around abuja i told you don't think it was just a small room they went round going around jericho was hard work they did it for seven days and he said now on the last day that you want to see the biggest blessings you will do what you have done every day on that day alone seven times no man i release the grace upon you for wellness but go and look for a river dirty buff there no man was saying what sort of you are insulting my pedigree say okay you can remain with your leprosy but if it is god you want to see cure you go and buff naman dipped himself once came out looking like a child playing in mud he was not healed dipped himself again came out the second time even the sixth time nothing happened but when he went the seventh time that grace in the water there and as soon as he came out the bible says his skin was like that of a child [Music] what of blind bartinius what of the manner did beautiful acts chapter 3 i believe the bible says it was the hour of prayer listen very carefully the man was begging for arms peter and john went pray and then when they saw him what do you want i want arms silver and gold he said i have none but such as i have there is a grace he gave us i give unto you in the name of jesus christ of nazareth rise up and walk the man remain on the ground there don't think he just jumped up no you remain on the ground there verse seven hear what peter said for as long as you are remaining there this grace would not work let me help you hold my hands and he moved him the bible says and as he lifted him immediately his feet and his ankle bone received strength not when he was sitting at the instance of his participatory role that grace came upon him [Music] brothers and sisters please hear me it will never happen sitting down rest does not mean lack of efforts rest means dependence on god god's idea of rest does not mean leaving anything and sitting down there no rest means that your dependence the energizing and the empowerment remember when there were few automatic cars cars that use automatic gear you have to put the manual gear remember from four you come back to three to two one and then four three two one and your hand is almost as if he's removing but now you have an automatic gear system but who holds the steering there is a system that keeps changing gears but you leave the steering and hold your hand and close your eyes and almost immediately you end your life but by holding on to the steering listen to me the advantage of the automatic gear system is to give you more room to focus and to provide convenience so people can drive while they are talking and they are just driving while they are talking it would not be it would not be possible with the manual system just like that this is how grace works grace does not drive the car for you it helps you to engage the gear system so that whilst you hold it and it also empowers you and gives you the strength my brothers and my sisters obtain grace from god today find out what you need to do about your destiny rise up knowing that i have the backing of heaven open fire towards your destiny and in one month you will do more than you have done in 10 years put together then you will come and stand here and when we say how did it happen you will say the grace of god and we will know what you are saying apostle i want to be anointed god will anoint me i know he's my god you are right but that's not how it works there are keys to the anointing when you sit down and you are learning and you are studying while others are sleeping you are maximizing grace when you are listening to uncommon mentors help you and show you the way it works you are maximizing grace every participatory effort that you put knowing that i'm not putting this effort in the flesh i am maximizing grace this is why there are certain people who continue to triumph from one level of victory to the other whereas there are many spectators who sit down and hope that things will happen the grace of god an enabler a divine help if i think i engage my mind but i don't have the power to give myself ideas the grace can bring ideas while my mind like a womb receives them and bets them so if you ask me how did the idea come i would say the grace of god but the idea came and manifested because my mind was fruitful to it when god sent me to this city by the grace of god and with every sense of humility i knew that his grace and his name was there to back me but if i sat down i folded my arms and i noticed one day it will happen don't worry you will be blessed tomorrow would come and even next tomorrow and nothing would ever happen but that effort in faith from one step to another step to another step his grace leading you his grace guiding you oh god you are my god and i will ever praise you [Music] oh god you are my god and i will ever praise you i will seek you in the morning i have light to walk in your ways for step my step you lead me and i will follow you all of my days [Music] apostle i don't know why i have favor but people run away from me you are right you have been wasting that grace because you have not studied about relationships the grace comes upon you but your ignorance as to know how to relate with the world of men keeps aborting and destroying that grace the day you submit yourself to learning how to live in the world of men you take advantage of that grace now you are ready to excel [Music] now you are ready to excel a gentleman years ago will soon pray he heard my teaching i did a teaching on finances and when he listened to it he had a little fashion outfit just to sew and when he listened he was full of incompetence and was just giving all kinds of excuses he will measure you and so close that twice your neck will enter inside carelessness and it didn't matter to him and when he listened and in it i spoke about diligence he made up his mind he submitted himself for one year to learning and mastering receiving the blessings that came from god's servant week in week out at the end of it listen very carefully at the end of it that gentleman grew to a level of competence he now his goal and his prayer was that one day he would also include me among his clients that he would be sowing for and he believed that he was called to do it but not that version of him and he walked on himself for one year and he sold something then in zaria he carried it and brought it many people used to sow and bring clothes and seeds and for some reason i was restless early in the morning i said let me check out what this guy did i said i'm sure all these people who have sown a lot of things god bless them but i may not be able to use it but when i saw his finishing i saw what he did i asked the protocol i said look for this guy let him see me before he leaves ladies and gentlemen that was the beginning of open doors for that gentleman the rest is history history that is worth knowing but it is history oh david it is true that one day you will kill goliath but if all you do is sit down in the bush staring at animals goliath will kill you as if god did not call you are we together when david was killing the bear when david was killing the lion the grace for leadership was supervising him watching him and when the moment came he came and stood before goliath and he said avery as well said am i a dog said goliath be careful you don't know what i've been doing preparing for this day i am what i am by the grace of god but the grace i did not waste it in that i labored i labeled in prayer i labored in diligence nigerians let's return to a point where we find dignity in labor and let's see it as part of faith as an as a participatory role to obtain and maximize grace arbitrarily living things to just walk like that arbitrarily waiting that one day we'll become exceptional politicians with no effort on our part exceptional businessman doing business with nations exceptional men of god mentoring kings and speaking to nations just because god called you i apologize but that may never happen this is not how the kingdom works therefore you must obtain grace tonight to go back and say lord what have you told me and what participatory role do i have to play in diligence while you are crying you still believe i'm a career of that grace and it's working for me god has called into the music ministry sit down and pray in tongues until songs start coming from heaven when they come write them you are maximizing grace the first song you will sing it and like it alone don't be discouraged keep writing are we together you believe god has called you into business you will go full of grace and be surprised that you will fail willfully don't worry there is a difference between failure as a person and failure as an event give god glory for the lesson you are learning now because it will give you the audacity to mentor others tomorrow so continue learning and going and whilst you take that step from one connection to another connection to one sermon to one program to one destiny helper to one revelation to one impartation you find out that your life now begins to make sense something is adding up something is adding up i desired certain levels of the anointing in my life i saw in dreams and visions that i was walking in it it would be a joke those days to just gather people and say i wanted people for on wheelchairs and crutches ah no but i knew and i said just sitting down to say god one day you will bless me i started looking for healing evangelists around the world dead and alive i began to study their convictions and their contemplations what did god tell them and let me tell you this by the privilege of god's grace we who god has helped to be successful a bit and we're still growing in the area of success let's be sincere when we mentor people don't just arbitrarily tell them is the grace of god like that when it has to do with mentorship open them to your scars let them know the dynamics the way you participated with that grace to make it happen tell them you prayed for 10 hours not as an effort on your own but that you are taking advantage of the grace tell them you fasted tell them there were times you were disappointed in meetings be open with them tell them you forgot your message one day and that was when you knew that the spirit of revelation was real be sincere with them for as long as we keep blaming people for our lives including god god you are there you are watching my life you are watching my family god is saying my love and my kindness is not in doubt i have given you everything he that did not spare his son i didn't spare jesus will i withhold anything from you you are aborting misusing and abusing the grace of god i keep enabling you and you do not act in keeping with the conditions that are required by scripture to make that grace come to pass so from tonight make up your mind that my life must command results make up your mind it is not all not up to god and it is not all up to you let me round up by saying this and then we pray when the prodigal son left his father and went around he was roaming around with pigs eating from pigs here's what he said i will arise what did he want he wanted to enjoy that grace again that opportunity he was a house with limitless abundance but he left it and he began to deplete he said i will arise i don't have the power to restore myself but i have the power to meet my father i can make efforts to meet my father and as he was making that decision concurrently his father said let me meet my son let me keep going for adventure i will meet my son somewhere there was a meeting point he did not meet him at his place of rest and he did not meet him in the house he met him at the place of obedience it's a risk i'm taking what if my father throws me away is a risk i'm taking and while i'm going i'm rehearsing what i will tell him father i have sinned against you and against heaven i am not worthy to be called your son take me as one of the slaves but at least let me make the effort i am going if he drives me away i will return back with honor i'll say god at least you've seen that i make efforts when the father saw him the first thing the father did was to embrace him and said your obedience has spoken volumes you don't need to tell me more i already know the story the fact that you understood and discerned enough to leave that point not minding the shame people look at him and say this guy whose father was wealthy what a useless boy and during the ridicule to keep moving was already enough and the moment the father met him the bible says he put back that ring that symbol of honor sent him to the house held a party for him and while that was happening the elder brother was now angry and the elder brother said so what about me i have been in this house and he said you want to make the mistake of this person now everything i have is yours it's just that you don't know what to do all you needed to do was to ask me as your father you do not have the consciousness of my fatherhood to request that i will give you a lamb will i not honor you for your obedience and your staying [Music] there is nothing that god cannot do but fall in your arms to say lord i know there is nothing you can not do is true but i'm showing you the dynamics of the administration of grace let's read that scripture again first corinthians 15 10 we're wrapping up 15 10. first corinthians 15 10. please help us media but by the grace of god joshua selman you are what you are everything you will ever be is a product of god's grace you are right but don't stop there paul did not stop there he says and his grace which was given to me already given was not in vain i participated with that grace in that i lay but more abundantly than they are yet not i but the grace of god which was in me the grace of our lord jesus christ the love of god the fellowship the communion of the holy spirit it will only be with you if you are interested it will only remain with you if you are ready to receive it anything god says you should receive you can reject it it does not end up in just confession it does not end up in waiting for god to do you have increased me empower me therefore to take not steps that i want steps that are required as demanded by the result i intend to see please rise up on yourself your grace your grace i'm nothing without you your grace your grace shines on me shines on me shines on me i'm everything with you shines on me shines on me it's your grace listen once you're standing i want you to begin to see with the eyes of your spirit the next level of your christian experience the next level of your business the next level of your family the next level of your finances see it because in christ is a possibility see because in christ you have access your assignment is to turn access into experience your assignment is to partner with the grace of god through the ministry of the holy spirit to make access become experienced you may have a billion dollars in your card but if you do not know how to to use your atm card or make withdrawals you can sit down and be dying of hunger and thirst whereas you have so much this is how it is in the kingdom i want you to see with the eyes of your spirit your ministry i'd like you to see how limitless you can be in christ not for the sake of gratifying the flesh that you can do so much for his majesty you are in business you are a politician i like you to see yourself becoming what god has said there is no limit i'm telling you to what you can be [Music] hey la masala brenda i believe god i believe you i believe you i believe you the abundance of your grace hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah this is my philosophy i walk with the consciousness that there is space for me in destiny there is no devil in existence from any nation and any region that will head you out of your space in destiny but just knowing it is there does not take you there [Music] it was sir isaac newton that stated his laws of motion in a study on mechanics and he stated one of the laws he said every body remains in a state of uniform motion or rest it will remain there except compelled by an external force to act otherwise he was so right he was so right nothing changes if action and effort is not put your business will remain at the last level of your obedience your company will remain at the last level of your diligence your mind will remain at the last level of your study the anointing upon your life will remain at the last level of your press and sacrifice your prayer life will remain at the last level of your exercising your senses spiritually please hear me even if you are esther while you wait for ahazaras use the oil don't sit back there esther was not sitting every day the oil was coming upon her you may not have the money to start the company but go online and buy the books listen to teachings by people with results provable results you are trusting god for ministry ministry is grounded for you it is not growing you are a sincere person but nobody is placing a demand on the grace of god upon your life stop giving flimsy excuses around it is not tribe it is not region it's not where your church is located no where the carcasses are there the eagles will gather stop giving excuses it's because i am this that's why i'm not promoted i'm lifted in office take responsibility lord there is something i have not done with the grace you gave me remember the wife of the son of the prophets that oil has been in your house for a long time the oil kept speaking since last year will you leave me like this businessman do you know what i can do do you know what the grace of god can do man of god do you know what the grace of god can do prophet apostle do you know what the grace of god can do the injection contains in it a liquid that goes into your system and corrects what is wrong but the injection will not bring itself into your system the doctor calls you designed in that liquid is the entire the injection has already been programmed to walk in your body but are you willing to endure the pain there are injections that are painful and yet that's the price for the healing you are looking for so you compare the one minute pain to the years of misery and you can stand and say doctor i am willing and he gives you the pain you may feel the pain but you are not conscious of that injection you are conscious of what happens to you and as soon as it is administered two days three days you are running around like you were never sick or you can refuse and remain there and say i want drugs but the drugs are given to you you will have to go through the discipline of swallowing it part-time required and whilst you are swallowing it complaining but you are still acting the body does not hear that you are complaining just keep doing what brings health and the body will be healthy can i tell you this brothers and sisters i do not promise you the grace of god and faith in god does not necessarily make all things easy it makes them possible i'm not going to promise you that just because the grace of god is upon your life you may not need to cry i'll be lying to you there are some of you the journey you are beginning from tonight it will be a journey of tears but while you cry don't stop while you weep don't stop was it not because they wanted to go to the other side help them please we're praying just help us under the anointing it says when we meet with you is too small let us go beyond the jordan it was their instinct for increase that brought that guy in trouble i innocently wanted to fail a tree to build a bigger place a last master it was borrowed he said fine rest there is a graceful restoration but you have an effort point to me where it fell i'm not just going to bring it out just point it and he said well i may not have the power to make it float but prophet i can show you where it is and it threw a stick and he began to float are you ready to pray in one minute i like you to pray from the depth of your heart lord the grace to begin to take radical actions of obedience towards my destiny radical actions of obedience as proof that i believe your grace and as proof that i am

are without support and assistance by this grace may god give jobs by this grace may god give children by disgrace may god bring settlements by this grace may god bring wealth and abundance by disgrace may god bring live things by disgrace may god bring spiritual acceleration in the name of jesus christ for some of you as you take actions of faith you will be surprised that between now and next week you will want to come and testify in a hurry that doors just began to open as you were acting on the world and can i pray for you everything that has fought the expression of god's grace upon your life whether it is human demonic or institutional i stand by the god of heaven and i declare this is the weak it clears the way for you every red sea that stops you from advancing hear the word of the lord koinonia global go forward go forward by the grace of god go forward by the faith that activates grace go forward in the name of jesus christ and everything you need to do to cooperate with this grace that you are not aware of may the spirit of revelation bring that knowledge to you every step of obedience you need to take today tomorrow next tomorrow that will accelerate your results spiritually and otherwise may the knowledge on what to do come to you now for some of you like daniel it will come as you understand by books receive it in jesus name for some of you the lord will send his angel to come and reveal to you like he did to daniel for some of you in dreams and visions like he showed peter god will reveal to you what to do but in any case when you find what to do the grace to do it receive it now hallelujah wave your hands and give jesus praise for tonight we bless you lord because you are holy we thank you because you are faithful let there be a performance from this understanding let our lives command fearful kingdom results to the glory of the name of the lord may we mentor nations by the results that come out of this understanding may they
