Grace makes the race of life profitable, but great grace makes it highly profitable, Great Grace makes great. Any life that is void of the Grace of God is a life many a times characterized by oppression, frustration, affliction and many other negative vices amongst all because Grace is the key to result- fulness in the race of life. Every life that walks out of Grace enters into disgrace.
The Apostles of Jesus Having been humiliated by the elders in the society after raising up a 40yr old man born lame, did not take their circumstances as an offence neither did they blame anybody for what they have passed through; rather, they see it as a challenge that needs be overcome. Hence, their understanding was opened to the fact that what happened to them is an indication that they are yet to get to the apex of their callings.
“ And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all Acts 4:23-33.
Insight into the scriptures reveals that the apostles thought within themselves that this things needs not be so, but it was so because something was missing in there lives. Therefore, they went to their own company to fix what went wrong, -this challenge to them was not the elders nor the people rather they saw a need for empowerment. This portrays the fact that you need more of God to have more impact on earth. They went to their own company!- Who are your company? Are they people that leads you to God or those that leads you out of God? Are they those that add to you or those that takes out of you? Your company defines your connection which in turn affects your collection on life.
The apostles were empowered and great grace was released upon them, though they were ordinary men, but great grace made them extra -ordinary men that command extra- ordinary results. I see you being baptized with great grace as you read this bulleting to provoke extra ordinary result where things has gone wrong for you in Jesus name. Amen.
GREAT GRACE DEFINED
Grace is defined as God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense, it also mean unmerited favour; help from above regardless of situation. Etc. Great grace therefore is the mighty & immense release of God’s help and favour as well as his riches which in turn produces greatness.
Great grace rested upon all the apostles and all that were with them to the extent that uncommon result began to manifest through them. It takes great grace to command great results. Until the release of Great Grace upon all, lack, wants and scarcity was the order of the day in the lives of the people; it was so severe that even special projects lacked accomplishment because the resources needed to make it work was missing, but the release of Great grace provoked great result. The baptism of great grace released these results:
1. COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF LACK- God’s riches is more than enough to settle all lacks, hence when great grace was released, every lack in the life of the church was destroyed. “Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold…” Acts 4:34
2. INCOMPREHENSIBLE RELEASE OF FAVOUR – Great grace moved the mind of the wealthy and influential in the society to begin to sell their properties just for no other reason but that the poor in the church must also have enough; The Spirit of favour moved the minds of the affluent to destroy poverty in the church. Favour took over. “…for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold…” Acts 4:34
3. ABUNDANCE TOOK OVER FROM SCARCITY-The Church that has been characterized with scarcity suddenly became the palace of wealth and good resources because people with abundance brought it down to the church to the extent that everyone in the church has abundance for their needs were meet according to individually. The resources was shared according to individual needs. “…Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 4:33-34.
4. MEN ANSWERED TO THE NEEDS OF THE APOSTLES -The apostles feet became a depot of good things- the sme apostles that were humiliated now became a depot of good things unusually. Great Grace moved in the midst of the people to the extent that everyone including the highly respected in the society willingly saw the apostles feet as a place to deposit the resources in their hands. The apostle’s feet never lacked resources.
