The
mysteries of the Kingdom of God are the highways to your supernatural
breakthroughs in life (1 Corinthians 2:6-7).

When

mysteries for provoking supernatural Unlimited
Exploits on earth.
Ø

What
is Grace?:
Grace is the concrete and irrefutable
hand of God on a man’s life and in all his affairs.
Ø
For the grace
of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men (Titus 2:11).
That means, the grace of God practically reflects in the life of the carrier.

Paul
said, “I am what I am by the grace of God” (1 Corinthians 15:10).
God said to Abraham: I will make of
thee a great nation… (Genesis 12:2).
Grace is God’s hand on a man’s life,
and that hand is what makes a man great.
Characteristics
of Grace:
Grace is a living virtue with
characteristics that you must understand, if you intend to flow in it.
·
Grace can be
frustrated, paralyzed and crippled:
Paul said: I do
not frustrate the grace of God: for if the righteousness come by the law, then
Christ is dead in vain (Galatians 2:21).
·
Grace can fail:
Looking
diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God… (Hebrews 12:15).
·
Grace can grow:
But grow in
grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
What this simply means is that you can grow in greatness, because grace is what
defines your greatness. If grace can grow, that means greatness can also
increase. We are in the days of greatness. Therefore it is important for us to
know how to jealously guard and grow in grace in order to grow in greatness.
ANTI-GRACE
VIRUSES:
Some forces are out to frustrate the
grace of God in our lives. We must learn how to deal with them, and keep them
out of our lives. These forces are:
Ø
Sin:
This is an
anti-grace virus that cripples and strangulates grace (Romans 6: 1-2; Romans
8:13; Ezekiel 36:27). You cannot stop the deeds of the flesh. When you engage
the ministry of the Holy Spirit, you become absolutely free from the oppression
of sin.
Ø
Pride:
It is a silent
destroyer of grace. The Bible says: …God
resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble (James 4:6).
The grace of
God cannot flow in the life of the proud (1 Peter 5:5; Proverbs 16:18).
Grace is our
guaranteed flight into greatness, but only the meek can get the boarding
ticket.
Ø
Prayerlessness:
This is the root
of all spiritual weaknesses.
The prayer
altar is the fountain of grace. So, the more effectual your prayer life is, the
greater the flow of grace in your life (Hebrews 4:16).
Ø
Spiritual
Ignorance:
Grace
multiplies by knowledge (2 Peter 1:2), but you will be limited in knowledge
without the help of the Holy Spirit (John 16:12-13; Ephesians 1:17-18; Hosea 4:6).
The Holy Spirit is the “Master Revelator” (1Cor. 2:10). So, you need the help
of the Holy Spirit to flow in revelation, and you need revelation to grow in
grace.
Ø
Lack of the
Love of God:
Love is one of
the covenant channels for the flow of grace (1 Corinthians 2:9). The love of
God provokes the flow of grace in your life, and it is the Holy Spirit that
spreads His love in your heart (Romans 5:5). Without the help of the Holy
Spirit, you cannot maintain the flow of grace in your life. Every channel through
which God’s grace flows, requires the help of the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 1:7).
There is no substitute for grace on
your journey to greatness, because you can’t make yourself great. You can never
outgrow the grace of God on your life, because only the grace of God can make
you great on earth. Your own portion will not be lost in the Name of Jesus!
Friend, the power to grow in grace, is
the preserve of those saved. You get saved by confessing your sins and
accepting Jesus as your Saviour and Lord. If you are set, please say this
prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins.
Today, I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You, Jesus for saving me!
