GRACE FOR THE SECOND HALF

GRACE FOR THE 2ND HALF
By Rev Mosopefoluwa Samuel on sunday 6th July 2014

  TEXT I CORINTHIANS 15:10,

WHAT IS GRACE?
Grace is the divine influence on the heart of a man and it is reflected or expressed outwardly. In other words, it is the out-working of a divine inward influence in your heart through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. Grace is the glory of God working in a man’s spirit. The Greek word for grace is ‘’. It beautifies the spirit and would always show on the outside. Grace functions at different levels in our life. It locates you and brings you into the good place at the right and opportune time. Some people do define Grace as “unmerited favor”


SEVEN (7) OUTWORKINGS OF GRACE
The Grace of God can be seen in what it produces; as much as Grace is a divine working on the inside of a man, it manifests itself on the outside of a man in diverse ways:


ATTRACTION: There always is something about a man/woman with Grace that attracts people to him/her. Grace singles you out; they just don’t know why they are attracted towards you. Grace has got nothing to do with one’s status, profession or gender. You can turn on grace in your life; God gives you more Grace as you put to use the Grace He already made available to you. Grace causes nature to respond to you and there are levels of Grace at which different Christians function. It should be your desire to function at the highest level of Grace possible.

2. THE ADVANTAGE.
Grace brings and gives you the Advantage. As a Christian, you need to ALWAYS be conscious of the Grace of God upon your life, this is what makes it work and you need to recognize that you have got grace working for you. You do not need to struggle for/with anything in your life, if you put the Grace to work, it will deliver them to you, on a platter. Hallelujah!Grace is the glory of God working in a man’s spirit and it beautifies. Only the man with Grace recognizes Grace. Never try to work against Grace in a man’s life; one who does it, fights against the Source of Grace; Deity.


Grace brings you FAVOUR. Good is turned towards the man with Grace and forgiveness always knocks at his door. Even when he seems to have made great mistakes, the Grace of God speaks for him. To work in Grace means to work in and with divine influence. It makes you have the mentality of “if I want anything, I will get it!” You are God’s trophy, and He wants everyone in the world to know how much he loves you. He is the ‘I am’ and you are the ‘in Him’. There is no need for the struggles and the worry wrinkles. Grace is available to deliver favour to you. Favour that comes by Grace comes by divine influence. Hallelujah! All He says is “yield to my Word”.

4. JOY.
Grace brings about Joy; joy indescribable and unspeakable. As a Christian working in grace, let Joy work out through your life. When you take advantage of grace, the world will not be able to explain how you are always up there. Where they let worries and the cares of this life control them, they do not understand how you have become a distributor of joy. With grace in your life, you become dauntless even in seemingly difficult situations. When challenges come to you look inwards for the solution, because you know that: THE BIGGER THE PROBLEM, THE BIGGER THE TESTIMONY.

5. LIBERALITY.
Grace brings LIBERALITY into our lives. You have got to recognize that Grace opens a two-way channel; it is called giving and a receiving channel.  Recognize that giving is a Grace. When Grace opens up that passion to give; it also opens up your CAPACITY to receive.


6. Grace brings about PLEASURE. Do you know that Pleasure comes spiritually and that you can take pleasure in all that God has created? Your life is for Him; recognizing this makes everything in your life pleasurable and yet pleasing to God. Now, Grace brings about a kind and happy pleasure that should make you appreciate the people and the things in your life.

7. GIFT.
Grace brings GIFTs into my life. Grace brings about an uncanny ability to do what others cannot do. This can manifest itself by form of a skill, quality and understanding of certain areas. It’s important that you recognize the gift of God upon you and put it to use, it makes God’s power to come upon it.

In life, it is not your head knowledge or speed that brings success
What determine the level of your success is the grace on your head
 Note: Paul says "I am what I am by grace"
Here me sir, you are where you are today because of the level of the grace avaliable for you. Which means that if divine grace Increase on you, life become easier and sweeter.
          I pray for you, may life become more easier and sweeter for you In Jesus name.
      No matter how bad the first half of this year was, second half can be sweet
      No matter how much you struggle in the first half, you can enjoy ease this second half
      No matter how many battle you lost, there can still be restoration ooo
  I prophesy on your life, you shall recover all back In sevenfold in the name of Jesus.

 Here this, grace those not come cheaply, there are things that attracts grace
 
                     THINGS THAT ATTRACTS GRACE
1. AVOIDING SIN: Romans 6:1 says can we continue In sin and say grace should abide, God forbids.
  Here this, the presence of sin in your life is the absence of Grace, sin is a major killer of grace in a man's life. Joseph never got the grace of the palace until he prove to God that he love him more then the pleasure of sin.

2. LABOUR. Paul says the labour was bestow upon me as a result of my grace also. There are area that we must labour in
A. PRAYERS
B. WORD OF GOD
C. SOUL WINNING
D. SERVE EFFECTIVELY
E. BE A BLESSING ALWAYS
  When we walk in this areas, it multiply and increase God's grace upon us
O
3. HUMILITY: James 4:6, "He gives more grace to the humble" No man rises above his humility level o.
   Hear this, "humily attract grace and grace will make your journey great"
 God himself will always sponsor the fall of any proud man! If you dont want God to resist you, you must strive to live a life of humility.

4. DIVINE PRESENCE: Exodus 33:13-14. More ask for grace but God responded by saying my presence shall go with you.
Note: divine grace is all in divine presence, if you want an increase of Grace, get the presence of God.

     I pray for you today, you shall work In divine grace, may your life become a puzzle unsolvable for your enemies, from now henceforth you shall get result where others fail in the name of Jesus. What use to stop you before shall clear off by grace in the name of Jesus.
