[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests his word and nourishes our spirits.

[0:12] May the life of God enter into you and you as you listen to this message. Be blessed. Somebody say that grace makes a difference. That grace makes a difference. Hallelujah.

[0:23] When you read that Old Testament carefully, throughout the scriptures, you hear or you come across phrases like, And he found grace in his sight.

[0:37] If I found grace in your sight or found grace in sight. So found grace in sight, it's used in different categories. There are times when human beings find grace in the sight of other human beings.

[0:50] And there are times when human beings find grace in the sight of God. Now, finding grace in the sight of somebody, you cannot find grace in the sight of somebody who is lesser than you. You only find grace in the sight of somebody who is bigger or greater in power, in majesty or in something than you.

[1:08] And that is why God cannot find grace before you, but you find grace in his sight. And so when you read very carefully, Bible talks about how Jacob found grace even with Esau.

[1:20] When Esau was coming to kill him, Bible says Jacob found grace with Esau. And then Laban found grace in the sight of Jacob. Ruth found grace in the sight of Boaz.

[1:35] Esther, somebody say Esther. Esther in Esther chapter 2 verse 17, Bible says that Esther found grace before the king. He was chosen out of the many women that came. If she found grace before king Ahazeros, you will find grace.

[1:50] Listen, you will find grace before the people that matter in your life. Jacob, and another way of saying somebody found grace is to say somebody found favor. Joseph found favor and found grace with Potiphar, his master.

[2:06] Even in prison, Bible says that he found grace before the prison warden. The one who oversaw them and supervised them. He found grace. Now, I prophesy into your life that you will find grace in the sight of people who matter in your destiny.

[2:22] People who, listen, human beings can be powerful. I'm telling you, God is almighty. He's all powerful.

[2:33] Almighty El Shaddai. That is what he is. There is nobody beyond his level. That is why those of us who have him, who know him, can resort to him when the going gets too much.

[2:49] He gets involved because he who is the righteous, that who is above all, is on our side. Do you understand that? But those who don't have God on their side, they have to basically always look for people to be on their side.

[3:02] Now, when we have God on our side, he just moves the heart of people. Bible says that the heart of a king is as water is in the rocks. The rock just turns.

[3:12] When the water gets to a rock, it just gets turned. The way the rock turns the water or the water is in the rock, that's how the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. It does not cause God anything to touch somebody's heart.

[3:25] Who matters in your life? Some bosses, some business tycoons and big people who carry power. People who sit in the corridors of power.

[3:36] God is about to touch their heart and they will just favor you. People are powerful. And I prophesy to you that anybody who matters on your journey of destiny, God will give you favor before him.

[3:50] In the name of Jesus Christ. Now, when you read Genesis chapter 6 verse 8. In the book of Genesis chapter 6, there was crisis because people were living in sin.

[4:01] Sin abounded. And Bible says that, but there was one man. Somebody say one man. May God find you that one man. There was one man who found grace in the sight of God.

[4:15] His name is Noah. Bible said, but Noah. Genesis chapter 6 verse 8. Noah found grace in the sight of God.

[4:26] And so, watch this. When Noah found grace in the sight of God. People, when people were drowning in the water. He was floating on the same water.

[4:37] Somebody shout grace. Grace. Grace is what causes you to float on what is sinking others. What others are sinking, you'll be floating.

[4:50] You'll be floating. And they'll ask you, you say grace. Grace makes the journey great. I have the statement I've been saying. That he who is carried by grace has a smooth ride.

[5:03] Grace will cause you to float when others are sinking. Noah. Noah. Moses. Also found grace before God.

[5:14] Somebody say Moses. Moses found grace before God. And there's somebody called Lot in Genesis chapter 19 verse 19. He found grace before the angels of God. You will find grace.

[5:27] You will find grace. Because it's your season of grace. You will not be denied your grace. You will not be denied access into your grace.

[5:38] When the grace of God comes upon you. You see. For you to understand. What is grace? People normally say. What is grace? People know. It's usually. Which is correct. Unmerited favor. Which I know would not be strange to most of us here.

[5:51] Grace is simply said to be unmerited favor. And it's a gift of God. But. That is not just all. Grace has dimensions. And.

[6:02] I want to take you briefly to the original words of grace. One of the original words. The Hebrew word for grace. Is. Spelled like C-H-E-N. The E with a cap on it.

[6:13] Which is pronounced. Cain. Grace. It means to stoop down. To stoop down. And command. To favor. And so.

[6:23] God. Just. In all his majesty. Decides to come down. Lower himself. You know. There's a scripture that sounds like that. He lowered himself. He laid aside his majesty.

[6:35] That's why the Bible said. In him was fullness of grace. Jesus Christ. He laid aside his majesty. Philippians chapter 2. Verse 5. Downward the Bible said. Let this mind be in you. Which was in Christ. Who. Though he was in the form of God.

[6:47] Did not count his worldly. To be equal with man. But humbled himself. Even to the death on the cross. He lowered his. So grace. Is to just bend. Go down. Not necessarily from heaven. That is why.

[6:57] I say. You can find grace. With somebody. Somebody who matters. Who has power. Who has some authority. The person decides to act. On your level. And on your behalf. In your favor. With his power. And authority.

[7:08] So that is what. Shane. Or Cain. Suggests. And then. The Greek word for grace. Which. Most of you should know. Is. Carise.

[7:18] Say. Carise. Carise. Say. Carise. Carise. Carise. Simply means grace. It means graciousness. Let me mention some of the things that. Carise means.

[7:29] Carise. Let me. Carise is. A divine influence. Upon the heart. it's a divine influence upon the heart and it reflects itself in life and so when you receive carries when you receive grace carries it is a divine influence upon your heart which manifests itself in your life say manifest that is a very important word so when you receive grace it will manifest grace is a divine influence and it manifests in acceptance places where they are not accepting people places where they are not inviting people place where they are not tolerating people they tolerate you they accept you they celebrate you grace will make that for you this year where you have been rejected before they will invite you you even have to go again to ask will you accept me again they will invite you i see somebody receiving a letter of invitation to be honored in the name of jesus this year when those who used to ask you who are you they'll begin to ask you how are you that is grace hallelujah so grace reflects itself in acceptance in benefits benefits some of you i don't believe in that you you you work so hard and then when the money comes unnecessary challenges attacks and things and then it's something it's like all your money is wasted you will not waste money you will not waste money listen your money will only be spent on things that are necessary your for instance you won't be wasting your money trying to repair things trying to go for certain healings trying to waste money no in the first place i'm why am i saying that because you are not permitted to seek to be sick sickness has been banned from your arena hey i said sickness has been banned from your arena no permission to enter any sickness that approaches you must know that it it it unauthorized approach the sickness is making an unauthorized approach it is those of you who use credit card after what you put it there then you swipe it and those of you have done to work before when you swipe it and they are trying to wait to authorize the transaction and then they will say decline and then those behind you begin to be ashamed there was a time there was time i went to buy fuel i thought there was some money that i've tried to pay and normally there's a queue you know i give the person no if i think i even wrote the check it was a check and that that they had changed my card or something has happened so i paid i thought i was paying with i paid and the man swiped that thing he finished everything i was feeling good waiting to go so i was waiting for him just to give me my card he said and i turned the screen he said look decline i said how i said do you have enough money in it i said yeah that's that it should go through it should go through it should and i started sweating and i had to remove an old card which i wasn't sure would work i said will this one would they accept this one but god being so good to me he said you know try and put in some money tomorrow morning because i had a check guarantee card you know when you you you swipe your card and you say decline it feels very bad now sickness will begin to feel bad around your life satanic attacks and satanic interference will begin to feel bad because they'll try to come and say decline decline decline the access access code was not accepted it has been denied the devil has been denied access in the name of jesus from your marriage from your health from your job from your finances from your marriage from your family in the name of jesus somebody say satan satan said devil access denied my benefits loaded unto me grace means benefits grace means favor as i mentioned already grace means

[11:37] gifts gifts are coming your way some of you are about to receive checks in the mail checks will come checks will be coming in the mail in jesus name i receive it lord hallelujah so shall it be it also manifest itself in graciousness you become gracious when you are full of grace when grace is working on your life you become gracious sometimes people see you and they just don't know why they like you there's something david when david appeared before said the guy was of a fair countenance there's something about the boy there is something about you and not just that when you are gracious you just just favor people in other words things that people expect that how why did you sit down for him to treat you that way and you don't worry it doesn't matter he didn't do it intentionally and you find it easy to let go you find it easy to bless people you are gracious because grace is working in your life hallelujah grace manifests itself like that and also grace manifests itself in pleasure somebody say pleasure pleasure is good but when you set your heart to look for there are two types of pleasure pleasures forever more and then pleasures for a season bible says that jacob or sorry m moses said he would not try to enjoy the pleasures of egypt which was for a season don't go after the pleasures of egypt you have to go for the pleasures forever more bible says in his presence is fullness of joy and pleasures forever more that will be your portion and so grace also manifests itself in pleasures praise god praise the lord praise the lord now let's quickly look at jeremiah chapter 14 verse 8 and 9 but before you go there jump to romans chapter 6 14 romans 6 14 we will do a bit of reading of scriptures today because i want to set the pace for what god is about to do and your scriptural basis is what qualifies you for divine enjoyment the average divine benefits that will be loaded to you is always done on the basis of your scriptural basis or is done on the on scriptural basis now jeremiah chapter 14 jeremiah 14 oh did i say okay that was the second one we're reading so let's quickly go to romans chapter 6 then we will rush to jeremiah 14 romans chapter 6 verse 14 oh somebody say thank you jesus say thank you jesus now so when we talk about the definition of grace grace is not just unmerited favor but grace the effect of grace is manifest itself in some of the things i've spoken about i hope you understand what i'm trying to say carries manifest himself in the in some of the things i've spoken about so when they said moses found grace before god or jacob found grace before god or joseph found grace before his master anytime they found grace something began to change in their lives look at jacob or look at joseph because of the grace he found before um the prison warden they made him head over the prison in the prison in potty first house they entrusted everything into his son genesis chapter 39 and when you when you look at noah when everybody was about to be executed because of him his family was preserved you understand that so you can't tell me there's grace on your life and it's not manifesting anything so even in the old testament when grace was upon their lives you saw things happening you saw them being manifested that is in the old testament and they didn't have the the kind of grace they had was limited i'm going to show you in the scriptures but when you look at romans chapter 6 verse 14 romans 6 14 goes on to read and say that for sin shall not have dominion over you why for ye are not under law but under grace sin that is why i am proud and bold enough

[15:41] to tell you that some things are prohibited from your arena because nothing is supposed to nothing of the devil is supposed to have dominion over you the devil only is able to operate in the arena of sin when sin prevails the devil can act hallelujah that is why even things that um when unbelief is sin when sin prevails the devil can act that is why in for the devil to be able to have dominion over adam and eve he had to lure them into sin and when sin entered the devil sin always comes with the devil so the devil have dominion in the area area of sin and any other thing sin was what introduced sorrow sicknesses trouble problems and all that and all the like when you read ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 it says that for by grace are ye saved through faith and not of your words by grace somebody say grace are you saved the word saved the greek word saved is sozo s-o double s-o sozo sozo just doesn't mean like you have been saved from something it means delivered protected covered provided for you understand what i'm trying to so salvation is not like only to forgive your sin when it says that you are saved it means a lot more more than just being forgiving your sins that is what i'm trying to say and the bible says that for we sin does no longer has dominion over us for we are no more under the law but we are under grace say under grace i just want to emphasize on the fact that you are operating under a different influence he said we are under grace say we who are the we those who are born again and in christ we are under grace as soon as you come to christ as soon as christ takes over your life you are operating under grace under a particular umbrella and so your every aspect of your life comes under grace and now you have to begin to enjoy the benefits that comes with the grace now so when you are under grace the kind of grace we are enjoying the new testament is different from the kind of grace grace was also in the new old testament they experienced it in the in certain portions and certain aspects but not like the dimension we are enjoying i'll prove that to you briefly in the scriptures but i wanted us to read this for you to know that we are under grace now let's go to john john chapter 1 verse 14 15 16 17 18 then we we will go to the jeremiah then we pick it from there quickly you understand what i'm trying to say because i want you to i want you to know the kind of grace we are operating with or we are operating and when you say you are under grace how does it differ from the grace that the old testament folks the old testament uh um people the old testament saints how is our grace different or how does our the grace we are under or we enjoy how does it differ from this bible says in john chapter 1 verse 14 and the word was made flesh and dwelt excuse me and dwelt amongst us and we beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace somebody shout it full of grace full of grace and truth then we jump to verse 16 and of him sorry and of his fullness have all we receive grace for grace now talking about jesus christ of his fullness now what the grace that was the kind of grace that was in operation in the old testament was not a full grace it was an aspect of grace it was great all right but we have if grace in its full measure in its fullness that means that the opportunities and the privileges we enjoy must outweigh what the old testament folks enjoyed you understand what i'm coming from and now look at what the old testament says enjoy what agree when they say somebody find grace before the eyes of somebody see the thing that followed now we should have it and have it more abundantly john 10 10. he said that is why i have come i came for a reason i came to effect a change in

[19:43] your life i came to create a change in your circumstances and so there's no way you can be in jesus and your situation remains in the devil is a liar now let's go to the jeremiah then we can go the jeremiah i quoted earlier jeremiah chapter 14 verse let me read verse 7 8 9 or let me read verse 8 and 9 quickly oh the hope of israel that is the israelized calling oh the hope of jeremiah jeremiah chapter 14 verse 8 and 9 oh the hope of israel the savior thereof in time of trouble why should why should thou be as a stranger in the land and as a way faring man that turned aside to tarry for a night in other words somebody who is traveling and is looking for a place to sleep so he just you know pops in into a motel hotel some just to sleep and said that god why are you why is it like you are not necessarily hours with us and then all you have a visitor or you you let's say your brother comes or your sister comes and is living with you for some time and then still she behaves or that your friend comes living and behaves like this is not his house it's just in a hotel no you expect the person feel free this is your house this is your home and so he said that but how for instance i take you to my house and then you realize that i'm behaving like i'm in a hotel and you even feel more comfortable than me so he says that god but how can you be behaving it's like god you are not really resident with us it looks from the way things happen looks like god you are not resident with us you are not definitely permanent with us so that is what he's trying to say that how can you behave like that oh god why should thou be as a man astonished as a mighty man that cannot save yet thou oh lord are in the midst of us and we are called by thy name leave us not now this is the israel crime because they had sinned and so they are seeing the manifestation of their evil deeds hello and so that is why they're saying that because the evil this has caused this situation to happen it looks like god was a stranger and what if god is with that why why what is happening lord so this was a cry unto god it was their fault wasn't that god has withdrawn from them but their situation made them cry but what i want you to know ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters here is that they knew what it meant for god to be with you when god is with you it doesn't look like everything he said oh is it that you are the mighty but you cannot save now how come we are enjoying fullness of grace but we are so deficient in a lot of areas of our lives how come it is a season of grace and things are still so tight as if nothing has happened so that is the question that the guy was asking the israel said if god is with us something will not be or something will be different if god is with us things cannot just go anyhow so i announce to you that because god has taken a keen interest in your life and he has ushered you into fullness of grace from today from today from today from today from today it will never be the same again in your life you'll begin to enjoy the fullness of grace now i'll before i finish i'll just quickly go into how to release the faith or the the grace the five things to do grace five the number of grace i'll show you some five things to do but let's quickly go on and let me show you in um the the characteristics of the characteristics of grace it's our year of grace and then when somebody is living under grace there are certain characteristics that will be manifested in the person's life and so people see people when people are talking to you like you don't

[23:47] have a god when things everybody wondering what is wrong with this sister what is wrong with this brother that is what he's saying that how can this be but i'm announcing to you that the grace that is coming on your life it you won't say that there's grace on my life and it's not evidencing because the grace that is coming on your life will be evidently clear that there is something on your life you get where i'm coming from now look at the book of acts chapter 11 acts chapter 11 acts 11 23 acts chapter 11 verse 23 it says that and when he came talking about a apostle when he came and had seen the grace of god was glad and exalted them all that with purpose of heart they should live unto the lord now when he came talking about a person when the apostles came to them he noticed something hello so when he came and has seen the grace of god in every ways when the grace comes it will be evident when grace begins to manifest it will be evident in your life grace just doesn't remain in the spirit grace manifests itself in physical issues and so he said that when he has seen the grace on our life the grace of your life will be demonstrated in fact people will look at you and your life will be a statement of how gracious god is anybody who sees you has read a notice that god is good god is gracious your life shall be an evidence of the grace of god look at exodus of the 33 i'm going to show you another something very interesting exodus of the 33 exodus of the 33 verse 13 and 14 now moses was talking to god he wanted god to do something for them for the children of is right here is pleading be god and see let's take notice of his terminologies here and and now that's talking that's what he's talking now therefore i pray thee if i have found grace in thy sight if i found grace in thy sight something must happen show me now thy way that i may know thee and that i may find grace in thy sight and consider that this nation is thy people now moses said somebody say if if so he's asked if you if there is grace on my life then lord do something come with us show me and now but god answered him listen to how god answered in the verse 14 and he said my presence shall go with thee and i will i will give thee rest in other words that if your grace is with us don't leave us on the way the children of ebza were sinning against god and so god wanted to just release them for punishment moses said lord if i have found grace in your side then don't leave us show me your way and keep come with us and god said that okay no problem my presence will go with you do you understand that that means that moses yes you have really found grace most that if i found grace let your presence go with me and so the presence of god around the person's life is an evidence of his grace in your life grace is supernatural ability upon your ability to make your inability effective hallelujah now look at exodus and look at sorry genesis chapter 30 now so when the presence of god is on somebody let's see the effects that i'm trying to say that when the grace comes on you because is that if your grace is if i found grace in your sight if your grace with me then go with me and god

[27:48] said my presence is with you it's an evidence of my grace and so now if that so if god you find grace if the grace of god is upon your life see something that is going to happen in exodus genesis chapter 30 did i say 30 yeah genesis chapter 30 this this scripture i love it very much you don't have to forget it genesis chapter 30 verses 27 genesis 30 verse 27 this talking about jacob and laban jacob wanted to leave because he felt time was up for him to go forward in life so he wanted to live to go and then now listen to what laban said and laban said unto him verse 27 i pray thee if i have found favor in thy eyes laban was asking jacob um jacob that if i have found favor with you if you know you if you know you really like me and you are going to favor me then do this for me even jacob even laban needed the favor of jacob why because jacob had the favor of god when you have favor of god on your life people fight to enter your life they just want to be identified with you what bible says in the book of um micah chapter i think for verse one and two or two this wonderful it talks about how in the last days the house of the lord shall be exalted and people run people want to be called by the name of the house of god that is great somebody say grace somebody who want to say oh i know him i know her you know she's my friend she's and she's my sister's friend she's like this she's like that because they begin to give reasons why they know you meanwhile you don't even know them you don't know why maybe somebody mentioned you to them that oh this is their person this this this and then but because of what good is happening the other time somebody called me and the person was going on and on i saw i was in the traffic with my wife driving somebody who turned on stopped me stopped me and i stopped the person came so excited you know he said we have said i've seen your your article in the magazine and it's very nice and you are doing you see when people see that god is taking you forward they just want to identify with you and i said grace will make you distinguished listen thank you holy spirit thank you lord listen i'm not telling fables i'm submitting something that works it will work for you it will work for you dignitaries who call you dignitaries who just you won't know why what they have seen in you but i'm telling you they will be looking out for you they will be looking out for you david was somewhere and saw what a problem and somebody went to saul and said saul i've seen this boy and this boy is good you need him somebody will go and tell that somebody who is very important who is great some dignity trees somebody will go and tell them that my friend you need this person somebody will celebrate you to somebody who matters because they're great you don't know you may be sitting home even relaxing some of us we are sitting down worried oh god how am i going to and then somebody's basically advertising you to people people who matters and they post where is he you see is there somebody like that around where is she are you sure there's somebody like that please call her for me call her for me that will be your testimony that will be your testimony it is time for the people to begin to experience grace in this dimension we must be distinguished from others i believe in that that's what that one i believe in it we must be distinguished from the others everything it's not everything that can happen to us and some things must happen to us which doesn't necessarily happen to you don't get it because we will be privileged to receive the favor of god and watch what what this guy said he said if i found grace in your in your side oh verse 27 and laban said unto him i pray if i found favor in thy side tarry they said don't go don't go tarry for uh jesus this is the this is

[31:52] where the meat is he said for i have learned by experience that the lord has blessed me for thy sake i have someone they say by experience he said i have learned by experience that god has blessed me because of you it's about time if you watch that i'm all i'm trying to say is that grace can be evidence it's about time people will see literally that in fact their connection with you is helping them they will see that their connection with you though they may not be receiving something physical or some money they will realize and discover that they are he said i have learned by experience unfortunately by the time some people learn it is too late you are just too busy you are inaccessible to them i pray that may god help you because listen your connection with grace carries your connection with carousel is doing much for you but i pray that by the time you discover it not too late and that said that the devil has kicked you so far to the back that your recovery has become a major battle that will not be your testimony that even with these little times god will open your eyes to discover that my association with this work my association with the church is making some major difference in my life the problem is that it's very easy as a christian to miss the fact that your association with certain cardinal people is bringing the blessing of the lord and you think that well we are all human means i can go on i can do this so you begin to try it on your own like abraham and lot lot thought he he also had no no bible said god called the brands that i'll bless you and lot went with abraham so lot was also blessed but when lord separated himself he realized the difference then you can't explain how it works but it is not by might it is not by power but it is the grace of god i pray that people and even your family members god will help them to know that you are so key you are a key figure in their peace in life may god help them may god help the place your your employer employers may god help them to notice that you are being there is helping them in the name of jesus christ leban said that since i employed you i've realized that by i've realized by experience that it has been very well with me and listen to what he said he says that for i have learned by experience that the lord has blessed me for your sake verse 30 for for for your sake verse 30 says that for it was little for it was little which thou hast before i came that's now jacob was talking now he said it was little which thou hast before i came and now it is increased into onto a multitude and the lord has blessed thee since my coming and now when shall i provide for my own house also hallelujah he said the lord has blessed you since my coming sometimes that is the the irony about the the whole thing there are times you'll be working in a company and because of the anointing on your life the company is receiving some impartation and maybe they are not paying you so much and sometimes you realize that these people don't they realize that i'm making a difference in my life like a pastor friend of mine was chatting with me last week he said that does this this lady who came into the baby was struggling and through prayer and intercession what is what she was giving a testimony what she said matters a lot see sometimes when you get to the when you get when the going becomes critical you realize that it's not an issue of money it's not an issue of your job or your importance your position life i've keep saying life is not a right no one has the right to take your life because you are a human being you are created in god's image sacred life is sacred but to be alive is just by grace to be alive is god's choice to be alive is god's previous privilege can you imagine that's why

[36:00] last week i said no it doesn't matter how big how great you are when it's time to die you got you got say me i won't die hey me i won't die who is it look at the great men and women who have lived in history they all came and died and went some of them were so powerful at the point in time we never thought they could even die they died and went away and so life is a is just privilege it's not a right and so when you come face to face with death you realize that nothing matters again but just pardon and mercy that's why i like that testimony which he said the man said thank you for your prayers because he had discovered something this is something he gets somewhere realize that there was somebody who called me recently the person used to come to me i used to pray with her and the miracles and god began to intervene i didn't see again sometimes we see when you receive your answer you begin to think oh it's okay i can just i'm i'm okay i'm okay i'm okay i i don't i don't need anybody and the same people after he has received it's very easy to forget because why when the grace comes sometimes you it's it it takes faith and spiritual insight to know that it's not just on the flesh level because it's deeper than the flesh because if you take it on the flesh level you realize that there's nothing really different you can where i'm coming from so that is why but when the grace is on your life people begin to discover with time but some of the unfortunate aspect is that sometimes but before they discover it is late for them because when the grace is on your life your life is an embodiment of blessing anybody that comes into dealings and contact with you shall testify that something is something look at genesis chapter 29 genesis chapter 39 oh lord somebody say lord have mercy if there's something you need to believe god for ask him for grace monday higher let us get this chapter 39 verses 2 and 4 2 to 4 it says that and the lord was with joseph and he was a prosperous man and he and was in the house of his master the egyptians the egyptian and his master saw that the lord was with him and the lord made all that he did to prosper and joseph found grace in his sight and he saved him and he made him overseer over his house and all that he had he put into his hands now the bible said that the lord was with joseph the lord was with joseph and joseph prospered so even the egyptian noticed that the lord is with this guy grace is evident god told what if i have grace with you then do something he said okay my presence will go with you which let you not have you have grace with me so when the grace of god is on your life his presence comes around you and when the presence of god is with you people with time begin to notice that there's something different about this person is that you can be 2 000 employees but they'll realize that you this particular one is different this year the grace will work for you the grace what your cv could not do grace will do for you in the name of jesus what your bank account could not do grace will do for you what your qualification could not do grace will do for you what your immigration could not do hey grace will do for you what your beauty could not do grace would do what your health could not do what your gender could not do what your mother father connections relations could not do grace somebody shall grace so one of the characteristics of grace is that it is evident it can be seen also when grace is in dimensions say grace is in dimensions grace is in dimensions different facets different aspects so it's not that i'm i'm saved so i'm going to check that's all no a lot of different things grace manifesting some things that look even trivial you can when you go into the spirit and pray or even just by faith this you will realize that grace is in something very little the way your nail is even growing say grace

[40:04] grace the way your hair is beginning to go and everything has not gone yet somebody shout grace first corinthians chapter 12 verse 9 says that my grace is sufficient now watch this paul said i have a need and god said my grace is sufficient what does that mean it means that can you imagine like um um um okay let's say let's let's say we are trying to let's say we are there are no more us here we want to eat we are coming to eat and we we asked our professional caterer to cook for us and the professional caterer said okay let's say we are 100 here and she prepared some things different different assorted food for 20 each but there are about 20 of them and so i think that 20 is not enough and he said that no it's sufficient ah we are 100 said it's sufficient do you understand that means i to take care of everything or he said i want us to do this i want us to do this i want you to do this and he said okay this is a thousand pounds or two thousand pounds 100 000 pounds and said oh by 100 thousand pounds what we really need is to buy you know a car a car that can take everybody and then when we finish buying the car we carry a carpet and he said oh 100 000 is sufficient in other words the 100 000 is not necessarily the the car it's not that means the particular need but it will take care of all the others and god told paul that my grace it's okay if you have that then it's enough don't oh god give me the god give me the god said do you have the grace it's enough go somebody says enough god said it's enough if you have the grace it's enough so instead of seeking your some people say i can't come to judge you know because um i'm working i have to take extra time to you you think it's money it's no money it's the grace so rather seek how to get the grace and the grace is enough somebody said but how does it work um pastor the grace is enough can the grace be my bills you get it and see how it works the way it works i don't really understand but by the end of the day you realize that it has really worked somebody said grace grace it works it works i'm telling you it works hey hey hey that grace works somebody said that grace works and this year it will work uniquely for me hallelujah second corinthians chapter 9 chapter 9 i quoted the scripture i think a day before second corinthians chapter 9 let me quickly rush through second corinthians chapter 9 verse 8 it said and god is able to make all grace somebody say all grace is that god and god is able to make all grace abound towards you that that you always have an all sufficiency in all things may abound to every grace see that's where sufficiency has come again but let's leave that alone no it's all grace say all grace so when you say all grace that means that there are levels different dimensions of grace but i said that oh grace for marriage grace for health grace for peace at work grace for nice skin grace for nice nails grace for nice tooth so that your tooth will not be rotten i don't say don't go to the dentist but sometimes you know that some people will go and go but still they are hallelujah no what i'm trying to say is that there are some things that you may get another person may not get and you realize that if you don't have it you spend a lot of money to get it what some people are spending so much money to get you just have it let me this does with extension don't worry i believe in that but like some ladies they have long hair already but some others always have to always spend money other even the the one who braid the hair cannot get some to hold you are struggling grace hallelujah you understand what i'm trying to say and i'm not saying that

[44:08] essentially is not good because i believe in that just that i can't do it okay maybe we should come to the nail level you know i've said it before somebody said that when you a gentleman you say you want to marry this lady and lady says do you have your own car do you have your house don't worry you used to access is is it your real hair or is it your real i was i was told that nowadays in some parts of africa people have started wearing old big mature lady started wearing a pampas so that they can appear different you know what i mean somebody said grace and so no when i said manifold hallelujah when i said manifold grace all grace that's every area different things are happening in other words don't never think that the grace is just okay i've got grace to be able to go to church even some of you need a lot of grace for your church faithfulness faithfulness in your church attendance faithfulness in your bible reading in your prayer in your giving bible calls it grace giving is grace so many things faithfulness in being patient faithfulness ignoring a grace in if to ignore some things that would not bring any difference it's not different we need it a lot we need grace so the one what i'm saying is that grace is multifaceted you know it is multi-dimensional different different phases and so when you read um like i said all grace will not look at first with that chapter 10 verse 4 and then chapter 5 so chapter 4 verse 10 and chapter 5 verse 10 first peter that was somebody's memory verse last week first peter chapter 4 verse 10 says that he said as every man has received the gift even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of god say manifold manifold many-sided it's manifested itself many-sided so you have to behave like a good steward of the manifold grace of god of god so the grace is many-sided look at verse chapter 5 verse 10 it said but the god of what the god of what all grace all grace he is that he is the one behind every good thing in your life he's the one that can only give grace he's the only one that can give grace so grace is multi-faceted and multi-dimensional that's the dimension of what now the next thing you have to realize that grace is in levels first of all i said grace can be seen grace is multi-dimensional grace is in levels say levels what do i mean by that levels let's look at first acts chapter 4 verse 33 acts 4 33 says that and they let's read it let's read it bible said and great grace was given to them great grace great grace is quantitative in other words measurable you know in levels so great grace was given on to great grace was upon them praise god and when you read first corinthians chapter 4 verse 15 it also talks about about abundant grace it is kind of measuring grace it's more so you receive more grace and there's this year you may you know that god has told us

[48:08] that is a year of mega grace so it's not just the ordinary grace we all enjoy carries has been singled out for another dimension of great a higher level of grace that is why you remember i was still telling you prophetically that some of you need to begin to take ventures because the grace on your life is now going to work in different level hallelujah and so i said grace abundant that is second corinthians chapter 4 verse 15 and then second peter chapter 1 verse 2 paul said that um that god he said peace grace be multiplied so if you're talking about grace be multiplied unto you that means i can come in more levels or greater measures greater levels you understand that so grace is in measures grace is in levels and so grace you can receive more some of you the grace that is operating your life is quite scanty so who determines who receives more grace or how more grace come one one it's the law who determines a general for instance where you will be born where you grow the the climatic conditions in a particular environment there are something that are that's transcendental that's beyond humans god determined but when it comes to so that is why this year this church is our season of mega grace you can't control seasons it's god who determines seasons you understand what i'm trying to say so god determines it's our season that's god's determination that's what's going to happen for all of us but now when you personally want to dive into mega grace that one is not going to for god to determine god has set the principles in order and i'll be teaching you what to do so that means that if you want to uh get more of something you just do more of it hello if you if you are if you are sweating and you want to sweat more if let's say you were doing exercise instead of sweating little you want to sweat more you do it more if you understand what i'm trying to say so whatever you want more you do you do more of what brought a little grace has levels say grace has levels and then finally in second that the scriptures for that mean second peter chapter 3 verse 18 says that that you will grow in grace peter was the one who was speaking he said that my prayer for you is that you will grow in grace and the knowledge of his word second peter chapter 3 verse 18 and i read it says that but grow in grace and in the knowledge of the uh the knowledge of our logic a lord and savior jesus christ to him be glory both now and forever so paul said grow in grace that means that you can increase in that grace sometimes you can be in in a particular level of a grace but it may not be enough or any any level is not enough because god is infinite it's eternal so you keep you must always keep going higher somebody say going higher say going deeper that's why i said deeper deep call it onto deep so when you go deep you get a deeper one that will be your testimony i see somebody getting greater grace i see somebody getting multiplied grace in the name of jesus and then finally grace comes to help grace comes to help that is the characteristics of grace when grace is on your life you are helped grace does a lot of things grace is sufficient but comes to help hebrew chapter 4 verse 16 it says that therefore let us come boldly boldly onto the throne of grace throne of grace that is in itself is powerful approach the throne of grace it's a throne of grace one day i'll go into that said let us come boldly onto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need say i shall be helped i shall be helped when you read second chronicles chapter 26 let's go there and then i'll be right now second chronicles chapter 26 oh lord hallelujah ah this year the grace would will be so clear

[52:15] on your life the grace will be so evident on your life second chronicles chapter 26 when you read the verse 7 it says that and god helped him against the philistines against the arabians that dwell in gabau and mehunims praise the lord and verse 8 says that and the ammon ammonites gave gift to uzziah and his name spread abroad even to the entire and as to the entering of egypt for he was strengthened so for he strengthened himself exceedingly and then the verse 15 says that and he made in jerusalem verse 15 he made in jerusalem engines invented by cunning men to be on the towers and upon the bulwark to shoot arrows and great stones without and his name spread far abroad for he was marvelously helped till he was strong god will help you so we receive one of the characteristics of grace is that when you receive grace when grace upon your life grace comes to help you now is there anybody here who needs help there is somebody who went in second in the book of first king some people went to the king and christ the king king king oh help us okay you know what the king said the king said this issue i can't help you if the lord does not help you how can i help you some of us are looking for help in wrong places the devil makes you feel that no this one can do with this one it will come from you but it's not true don't go to the wrong place for certain kinds of help look up to god and be held there's a scripture in the psalm in the book of psalm i think some 60 somewhere there are 50 it talks about it said vain is the help of man if you do not help us oh god vain is the help of man and bible says that grace comes so you can be helped look at what happened this guy was helped and his name became great this year your name will be lifted your name will be people will hear of you in other nations in other cities in other companies they'll hear of you and they'll be coming after you in the name of jesus for promotion in jesus mighty name and i accept that 26 verse 22. acts 26 22 that is our last scripture here acts 26 22 i continue i did what i did what it is the help of god that makes you be able to continue you will not drop out you will not drop out of church you will not drop out of your career you will continue sometimes you know we will all agree with me i hope you all agree sometimes the going gets so tough hey sometimes the going gets so tough you feel like tough you feel like do i think i can really go on with this thing again do i think you need grace when grace comes people when where people give up you are strengthened to go through you are empowered to go through that is the help of god paul said having therefore received the help from god i continue you will continue you will continue in your faithfulness to the house of god you will continue in your faithfulness to your bible studies you will continue in your faithfulness to prayer you will continue in your faithfulness to giving you will continue in your faithfulness to the sensitivity and seeking the face of the holy ghost you will continue in your faithfulness to humility obedience to the word of god you will continue in your best use for excellence in life you will continue in your spiritual quest to grow and mature in the law you will continue in your financial grace the grace that
