0:51
Speaker 2: Anybody telling you that you cannot grow in grace, that
0:54
Speaker 2: you don't need to grow in grace after giving your
0:56
Speaker 2: life to Christ is mistaken. There is an important fact
1:00
Speaker 2: to be considered when it comes to the grace of God.
1:03
Speaker 2: One of those factors is that grace foils intentionality. Grace
1:08
Speaker 2: powers intentionality. That means you can't say that you have
1:13
Speaker 2: the grace of God and you are not intentional about
1:16
Speaker 2: the things of God. No, the extent by which you
1:19
Speaker 2: can do or accomplish anything in life as a believer
1:23
Speaker 2: lies on the grace of God, and this grace of God,
1:27
Speaker 2: God telling us that my grace is sufficient.
1:29
Speaker 1: That means He has more than enough to give. Second
1:33
Speaker 1: Corinthians twelve, verse nine.
1:35
Speaker 2: And he said onto me, my grace is sufficient for deed,
1:39
Speaker 2: for my strength is made perfect in weakness most godly.
1:43
Speaker 2: Therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power
1:48
Speaker 2: of Christ may rest upon me. Grace is sufficient for
1:53
Speaker 2: endurance during trials. It is sufficient to find and escape.
1:59
Speaker 2: There is cure let's First Christians ten, verse thirteen. The
2:03
Speaker 2: sort says, therefore let him that tinkate is tanning to
2:06
Speaker 2: take leasive forth. There have no temptation taking you, but
2:10
Speaker 2: such as is common to man. But God is faithful.
2:13
Speaker 2: Now watch this follow me. God is faithful, who will
2:16
Speaker 2: not so fer you to be tempted at both that
2:18
Speaker 2: which you are able. But now this is the striking,
2:21
Speaker 2: this is the action point. But with the temptation, also
2:24
Speaker 2: make a way of escape. So in as not as
2:27
Speaker 2: there is grace to endure, there is grace to also escape. Exactly,
2:30
Speaker 2: there is grace toward escape that what you may be able.
2:33
Speaker 2: So the way God wants you to bear the temptation
2:37
Speaker 2: is to find the way of escape. You can just
2:39
Speaker 2: really last and say, Gods will it is in your
2:41
Speaker 2: hands to determine how long it will last. And one
2:45
Speaker 2: of those ways I bring to you today is that
2:48
Speaker 2: you need to grow in grace.
2:50

3:09
Speaker 2: of God. It is the consciousness of the reality of

3:17
Speaker 2: God being interested in you. He says, what growing the
3:21
Speaker 2: knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ. It
3:24
Speaker 2: is important what you think of how God sees you.
3:28
Speaker 2: It is important. Look, it is important how you see
3:31
Speaker 2: the knowledge of God towards because all the attention is equal.
3:35
Speaker 2: The only difference is that we embrace the love of
3:39
Speaker 2: God for God's love the world. We embrace the love
3:41
Speaker 2: by what becoming, by growing in grace. So when you
3:44
Speaker 2: give your life to Okay, when you bide, who says
3:46
Speaker 2: what desire? This is set meik of the world of God,
3:48
Speaker 2: that you may grow thereby. It is this approach of
3:51
Speaker 2: growing in the grace of God. Because you need knowledge
3:55
Speaker 2: to grow in grace.
3:56
Speaker 1: Yes, you need.
3:57
Speaker 2: Knowledge to grow in grace. Grace is what empowers intentionality.
4:03
Speaker 2: But to grow in that grace in order to accomplish
4:05
Speaker 2: your goal, accomplish your vision of your plans, you need
4:08
Speaker 2: the knowledge of God to back it. How do you
4:11
Speaker 2: then pay attention to the knowledge of God? Do you
4:12
Speaker 2: then grow increase the knowledge of God? Collusians, Chapter one,
4:17
Speaker 2: Verse ten, Collutions, Chapter one. The Bible says that ye
4:21
Speaker 2: might really for this nine for this cause, for this
4:24
Speaker 2: cause we also since the day we head it, do
4:28
Speaker 2: not cease to pray for you and to desire that
4:31
Speaker 2: ye might be filled with the knowledge of.
4:33
Speaker 1: His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
4:36
Speaker 2: Knowledge of His will means God's plan, God's desire, what
4:40
Speaker 2: God wants to accomplish. On the face of the investenses
4:42
Speaker 2: that yeah, now that the reason for this is that
4:44
Speaker 2: so that you will be able to work worthy of
4:47
Speaker 2: the Lord onto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work.
4:50
Speaker 1: And increasing in the knowledge of God.
4:53
Speaker 2: That you cannot increase in the knowledge of God if
4:56
Speaker 2: you do not have the knowledge of His will.
4:57
Speaker 1: If you do not have the knowledge of His.
4:59
Speaker 2: Will in all wisdom, all kinds of wisdom, if you
5:03
Speaker 2: don't have. So it's not about your intelligence. It's not
5:06
Speaker 2: about how smart you are upon the face of the earth.
5:08
Speaker 2: Is about how God is treated inside that smartness, inside
5:13
Speaker 2: that intelligence, the position God takes.
5:15
Speaker 1: That position is his will.
5:16
Speaker 2: That's why it says what knowledge of his will in
5:18
Speaker 2: all wisdom and spiritual understanding, So not all spiritual understandings
5:23
Speaker 2: of his will. This means that the knowledge of God
5:25
Speaker 2: you are seeking depends upon you finding the will of God.
5:31
Speaker 1: Oh, Paul telling.
5:32
Speaker 2: Us in Romance Romans, just what he says, I desire
5:34
Speaker 2: to come to you, to come a minister, to come
5:36
Speaker 2: and impact on, to come.
5:37
Speaker 1: And do the work of God.
5:39
Speaker 2: But what he said that I am praying that I
5:42
Speaker 2: would come and accord them to the.
5:45
Speaker 1: Will of God. That would be prosper us by the
5:47
Speaker 1: will of God.
5:48
Speaker 2: So I don't want to come on this journey Crost
5:51
Speaker 2: by his journey by my own will. No no, no, no,
5:53
Speaker 2: no no, even if it's the ministry, even if he is,
5:56
Speaker 2: I'm going to do the work of God. Paul is
5:58
Speaker 2: there to be at the center of God. And this
6:00
Speaker 2: is where we have to set the boundary as believers
6:03
Speaker 2: that the work of God is different.
6:05
Speaker 1: From the will of God. It is.
6:07
Speaker 2: Remember, it is the will of God that helps us
6:09
Speaker 2: to grow in the knowledge of God. And the more
6:12
Speaker 2: we go in the knowledge of God, we have realized
6:14
Speaker 2: that we grow in the grace of God.
6:16
Speaker 1: Now back to this work.
6:17
Speaker 2: You can do the work of God without the will
6:20
Speaker 2: of God, but you cannot do the will of God
6:23
Speaker 2: without the work of God. So even if you set
6:25
Speaker 2: out to do the work of God without his will,
6:29
Speaker 2: you will get frustrated, You will get wearied at some point,
6:32
Speaker 2: at some junction, you will get frustrated. You would despise
6:35
Speaker 2: your actions. Why because it's not according to the will
6:38
Speaker 2: of God. But I tell you, a man who fools
6:41
Speaker 2: with according will of God, because he has even if
6:44
Speaker 2: he faces challenges his joyous he doesn't see it as
6:48
Speaker 2: a form of frustration. He understands it. He understand he
6:51
Speaker 2: knows how he can bear it. He can easily be it.
6:54
Speaker 2: But a man who goes on a journey without the
6:57
Speaker 2: will of God cannot bear the perilous time or the
7:00
Speaker 2: things that before him.
7:02
Speaker 1: In that journey.
7:03
Speaker 2: Whatever you want to set out to do the conscious
7:05
Speaker 2: of the will of God, how do you become How
7:08
Speaker 2: do you now establish God's will in whatever you are
7:11
Speaker 2: set out to do. Upon the face of the egg,
7:14
Speaker 2: simple Paul said, I have been praying always.
7:17
Speaker 1: If you remember the story of Cornelos.
7:19
Speaker 2: Yes, Cornelos was a man who was dedicated, but he
7:22
Speaker 2: was not yet to believer. He was not yet in
7:24
Speaker 2: the line of Christ, of a Christian. So God had
7:27
Speaker 2: to come. God came to Colos. I said, prayer, your
7:29
Speaker 2: prayer first.
7:30
Speaker 1: Your prayer. It's not just your arm.
7:32
Speaker 2: If you notice the order bade which God reveals, the
7:34
Speaker 2: things that Cornidos has been had been stepped first doing
7:37
Speaker 2: it started with prayer first.
7:39
Speaker 1: Yes, the answer their.
7:40
Speaker 2: Body abs and it is the last thing, because it's
7:42
Speaker 2: not just by you're giving.
7:43
Speaker 1: This is the work of body. It's not calling to you,
7:44
Speaker 1: it's it's prayer that set you are calling to willow God.
7:46
Speaker 2: That's why Colgius was able to get in line with
7:49
Speaker 2: God's will and became safe.
7:51
Speaker 1: Prayer is that you enter God's willow.
7:53
Speaker 2: That means indirectly, you see, prayer is how you grow.
7:56
Speaker 2: In Greece, prayer is a sign of humility. That's why
7:59
Speaker 2: the Bible tells us in James that what God resisted
8:02
Speaker 2: gives more grace, more grace work to the humble and
8:06
Speaker 2: resisted the prayer.
8:07
Speaker 1: So if you can't pray, you have pride. You want
8:10
Speaker 1: to go in grace whatever season you are.
8:12
Speaker 2: You need grace for marriage, you need grace for academy,
8:15
Speaker 2: you need grace for ministry, you need grace for whatever
8:18
Speaker 2: it is. Prayer that is a root call, but there
8:20
Speaker 2: is a process. That's why when you pray, you have
8:22
Speaker 2: to be conscious of the will of God. The essence
8:25
Speaker 2: of your prayer is not to cover time, is to
8:28
Speaker 2: find the will of God. Because once you secure the
8:31
Speaker 2: will of God, it's like securing the counsel of God.
8:33
Speaker 2: Once you have secured it, you grow work in the
8:36
Speaker 2: knowledge of God. And when you go in the knowledge
8:38
Speaker 2: of God, you find the grace. That grace that empowers
8:42
Speaker 2: the intentionality to pursue a certain direction.
8:45
Speaker 1: Is certain dream. God wants beautiful py pepleso. That's the dream.
8:49
Speaker 2: The reason why he gives you a dream, a vision,
8:51
Speaker 2: a goal to accomplish.
8:53
Speaker 1: That is it.
8:54
Speaker 2: He gives you a dream and a vision and he
8:57
Speaker 2: empowers you to pursue it does grace, Yes, grace is
9:02
Speaker 2: an empowerment to fulfill destiny. Grace is an empowerment to
9:07
Speaker 2: fulfill life purposes. Grace is an empowerment for fulfillments in life.
