MORE AND MORE GRACE
“So now we come freely and boldly to where love is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness.”
Hebrews 4:16 (TPT)
The assignments of the Lord will require more than your human intelligence, strength and resources.
The Heavenly mandate or vision will require Heavenly provision.
This is why God gives more Grace.
To receive more and more of the grace which God supplies, you must:
1. Exercise faith. It takes faith to receive the Grace of our Lord Jesus.
2. Be Humble. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Until you submit to the Lord, you have not permitted His supply to flow to you.
3. Draw near to God through Prayer.
This is the third item I would like to bring to your attention.
Before you conclude that we are already in God as believers in Christ and don’t need to draw near to Him, take your time to glean from this perspective.
Indeed, we have already been drawn into God through Christ; however, we can continue to journey deeper and deeper into God.
By Christ’s finished work through His death and resurrection, all who were afar off are now brought near to God.
“But now [at this very moment] in Christ Jesus you who once were [so very] far away [from God] have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13 (Amplified Bible)
This is glorious news.
We are not strangers to God. We belong to God and are part of Him. Through the blood of Jesus, we have free access to God. Now we have fellowship with the Father. We are no longer as they who were of the Old Covenant, for through Christ’s obedience, we have been drawn into God. We can confidently enjoy communion with the Lord without any sense of condemnation.
Irrespective of this access the believer has in God, it doesn’t automatically translate into MORE AND MORE GRACE.
For example:
Having access to a free restaurant doesn’t mean you will be satisfied automatically. You can enter the restaurant, take your seat, gist with the Chief restaurant and still not be full.
You must intentionally place your order, and then eat your meal before you will be satisfied.
The Lord has brought us into Himself, where grace is enthroned. Yet you must intentionally take grace.
This is why most believers in Christ remain helpless and weak. They think being born again grants them automatic enjoyment of Grace. Being born again gives you free access to grace; however, to enjoy the grace, you must receive it.
Prayer is a means of Grace.
Prayer is the confident enjoyment of your access to God, through communion and communication with God.
You have been drawn into God; however, until you draw near in prayer to take grace, you will not receive more and more grace.
The more you exercise confidence of faith through prayer, the more grace you receive.
Prayer is both the means of asking and the means of creating.
In times of need, what you must receive is more grace for that specific need.
Take note of what the Psalmist said:
“Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.” Psalm 86:6 (ESV).
See verse 5 of this Psalm in the Passion Translation:
“Lord, you are so good to me, so kind in every way and ready to forgive, for your grace-fountain keeps overflowing, drenching all your lovers who pray to you.” Psalm 86:5 (TPT)
Oh, glory to God.
The Grace of God shall drench, wet thoroughly, or soak and saturate those who pray.
When you seem to be limited in Grace, observe not only your faith and humility. Observe your consistency in prayer.
Little prayer, little grace; more prayer, more grace
It is through prayer that you cast all your cares to the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
And to even be consistent in prayer is evidence of humility. When God’s people humble themselves, they pray to Him (2 Chronicles 7:14).
“You do not have because you do not ask God.” (James 4:2)
Beloved, stay up long in prayer!
Shalom!
We pray that:
1. We shall increase in desire to pray and be obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to pray consistently irrespective of the hindrances.
2. The Lord shall send us a great abundance of grace (the favor, and all resources needed) to achieve His plans and purpose in our generation.

To receive more grace the believer must
1. Exercise faith
2. Humble himself
3. Pray effectively and consistently
God is the God of grace! He gives grace to man! God wants us to have grace but the top is the avenues by which grace comes to us.
When you realise that the first two are checked but there is still lacking grace! Check your consistency and effectiveness in Prayer!
“James said draw near to God and He will draw near to you”…despite our love relationship and position in God, that gives us free access into grace but to take the grace will require us to pray through!
Prayer will drench us with Grace!
Thank you Lord Jesus
I am consistent in prayer
