TITLE: GRACE BUILT UP UPON GRACE
SCRIPTURE: But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever Amen (2 Peter 3:18)
MESSAGE:
“Did you know that you can experience a continually increasing abundance of grace in your life? This is precisely what God desires for you: an overflowing, unending stream of grace that empowers you to triumph over any challenges you may encounter. As stated in John 1:16, ‘And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.’ The Amplified version expands on this, saying, ‘For out of His fullness—the superabundance of His grace and truth—we have all received grace upon grace—spiritual blessings upon spiritual blessings, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift.’
The Greek text emphasizes ‘Grace heaped upon grace,’ encompassing a multitude of spiritual blessings, favors, and gifts. Every day, remember that you possess the grace required for all your needs and endeavors. God’s grace working within you is the inner manifestation of His glory and power, radiating excellence. This grace leads to extraordinary outcomes.
Even if your peers possess similar or greater talents, God’s grace operating in your life will elevate you to a higher level, resulting in achievements that surpass theirs. Promotion in your life corresponds to an increase in grace. If you are elevated to a position of greater responsibility without a corresponding increase in grace, success may elude you. We glean this wisdom from James 4:6, which states, ‘But he giveth more grace…’
Notice that it doesn’t say, ‘He gave more grace’; rather, it affirms, ‘He GIVES more grace.’ This implies that you can access this verse’s promise every day, every week, every year. It’s an active and readily available word, illustrating how the prophetic word of God operates. Embrace this truth for your life today.”
PRAYER
Dear Father, I receive more grace and increase in the workings of your power in my life. The knowledge of your Word causes me to walk in an overflow of grace, and that grace produces favour, beauty, goodwill, loveliness, perfections, glory and ability in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
