"And
He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made
perfect in weakness." 2Corithian
12: 9A
Ø Grace
is a gift from God.
Ø Grace
has been defined as unmerited favour.
Ø It
is a divine enablement that empowers a man to do beyond the ordinary and
achieve the impossible.
Ø When
grace is at work in a man’s life, expectations are surpassed, limitations are
set aside, boundaries are crossed, mountains are surmounted, struggles become a
thing of the past and all things work together for good!
Ø Nothing
can be compared with the grace of God! No one can succeed or make it through
the journey of life without a measure of God’s grace.
WHEN GRACE MEETS A MAN:
ü 1. Salvation:
"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".
·Salvation
is by grace;
· no
mortal can please God or pay the price of redemption from sin and eternal
damnation, it is the grace of God that has brought salvation to us through
Jesus Christ the son of God. All good works, morality and righteousness of man
are useless without Christ, salvation is a gift freely given by grace through
faith in Christ.
ü 2. Released
to the HUMBLE
· Those
who are proud and full of themselves can never have access to the grace of God.
· God
has no business releasing His grace on those who think they can make it without
Him.
· The
book of James 4:6 says "But He giveth more grace, Wherefore he
saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble."
· To
qualify for the grace of God, we must empty ourselves completely and lean on
Him absolutely.
· Oftentimes,
the reason God does not respond or come to our aid is because we are still
trying to work things out by ourselves.
· We
need not wait till we come to our wit ends before we realize that we can never
go on without His grace. It is when God sees in us a heart of humility and
total dependence on Him that He will release His grace upon our lives.
ü3
It comes in measures:
· Grace
has the ability to grow from one level to the other.
· There
is no limit to what a man can achieve through God’s grace provided he is ready
to put the measure of grace he has into use and grow thereby.
· The
surest way to grow in grace is not to fail the expectations and demands of
heaven upon your life.
· When
we profit with the measure of grace God has given us, there will be increase
and greater room for more exploits.
