Five areas to grow in Grace!


ü  Grace to overcome sin: God’s grace should enable you and empower you to live above sin and not being in bondage to sin. He that commits sin is of the devil and has not known God. Knowing God imparts grace to live above secret and open sins. Romans 6:14,15; Romans 8:2, Titus 2:11-14.

ü  Grace to have your needs met and abundance:  God wants to meet your needs everyday of your life and also use you to meet other people’s needs. You may be small today but God’s grace will bring about increase to your life. Psalm 84:11, Psalm 23:1, 2 Corinthians 8:9, 2 Corinthians 9:8.

ü  Success in whatsoever you do: If you are doing a legitimate work  whether you are selling, buying or you are a career person, the plan of God is that your light will shine brighter with each passing day. God wants you to be the head and not the tail. Daniel 1:3-4, 17-20, Deuteronomy 28:13

ü  Spiritual relevance/exploits: You are God’s ambassador on earth. You are His representative but it takes God’s sufficient grace to walk and live in the reality of who you are in Christ. You are expected to be a deliverer and not being in bondage. God ordained you to be a victor and not a victim. Grow in this grace. Acts 4:33, Mark 16:16-20


ü  Good works: It is God’s desire that you grow in good works. One way to show that you are not poor is that you remain committed to help and give to the poor no matter how small it is. Help orphans, help widows, give to sick people, visit prisoners and help the poor. Proverbs 11:24-25; Proverbs 28:27, Philippians 4:19
