GRACE EMPOWERS YOU
“But God’s amazing grace has made me who I am! And his grace to me was not fruitless. In fact, I worked harder than all the rest, yet not in my own strength but God’s, for his empowering grace is poured out upon me”
1 Corinthians 15:10 (TPT)
You may feel overwhelmed by the vision or assignment God has given you.
Or you may desire to do more for the Lord, however you may think you don’t have what it takes.
In the realm of God, there are no impossibilities. This is why as a believer in Christ, you are not to think impossibilities, because nothing is impossible to you in the first place.
You are with God therefore all things are possible!
Anything God tells you to do, He makes the provisions for you.
You don’t lack what it takes to do what God tells you to do.
You must therefore learn to trust God and know the things He has supplied to you.
God doesn’t entrust a responsibility into your hands without giving you what you need.
This is why He sent His Holy Spirit to partner with you, gave you His word to build you, planted you in an assembly of the saints and placed you under a shepherd to train you.
Of the many things the Lord supplies you, there is another crucial item for your advantage – GRACE.
You might have heard a lot about the grace of God, right?
To some, the grace of God is just the means by which we are saved (Ephesians 2:8).
And all they think of grace is God’s provision for the sins of men. (There is more to discuss on this later).
The grace of God is not just an unmerited favor; the grace of God is also a divine ability.
In the opening verse, you will see two things the grace of God does.
1. YOU ARE MADE BY GRACE.
“…God’s amazing grace has made me who I am…”
Other translations put it this way, “…I am who I am by the grace of God”
So the apostle of Jesus acknowledges that whatever He has become was by the grace of God not by any other means.
This means the grace of God saves and makes you a new man (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The grace of God changes and transforms your being.
Grace translates you from a corruptible state to an incorruptible state.
2. Second thing is, GRACE EMPOWERS YOU.
To be empowered by grace also shows how grace doesn’t promote laziness.
Paul says, “… and his grace to me was not fruitless…”
Waow…
There is no unfruitfulness in grace. When you receive grace, and you are made by grace you must not be unfruitful.
This is why GRACE EMPOWERS YOU to work harder or to labour more.
It is possible for one to be born again and not take advantage of Grace in His labour.
Grace is for your BEING and it is also for your DOING.
You don’t just have to celebrate the reality of who are by Grace. You must also take advantage of the empowerment of Grace to do more for the Lord.

Thank you Lord Jesus.

II Corinthians 6:1 NKJV
[1] We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.6.1.NKJV
Ow…. I don’t receive Grace in vain
I am helped, I am empowered and I am supplied with grace
Kaish….I am helped, I am empowered and I am supplied with grace
I don’t lack what it takes to do what God has told me to do
I lack not in the name of Jesus
The grace of God in my life can never be in vain

God’s grace empowers me to be fruitful.

Oh Glory to God. I am empowered by Grace to labour.

Grace has a multiplying effect on any activity it is engaged in
It doesn’t thrive in laziness
It doesn’t thrive in laziness
Whoo… I am not lazy
Laziness profits nothing but taking advantage of Grace brings forth tremendous results
Heyaaa…. I take advantage of Grace
This is an amazing truth, ‘Grace is for my BEING and it is also for my DOING.’
It shall be with effect in my life. Thank you Jesus.
It shall be with effect in my life. Thank you Jesus.

With grace ,the is no unfruitfulness. Grace I’d made available but must be taken advantage of. I take advantage of grace.
In the name of Jesus

Thank you lord your Grace empowers me to do what am assigned to do
I am empowered by grace to be fruitful and that my fruit shall remain
Thank you Lord Jesus for your great Grace.
And that my fruit shall remain
For this assignment, it would only take Grace to achieve therefore I take advantage of grace to do more..
For this course, I take Grace
What a reassuring statement that they is no limitations or nothing called “impossible” for those in Christ.. We are divinely empowered.
Hallelujah!!
Even the word IMPOSSIBLE knows it’s POSSIBLE
I see possibilities everywhere because my sufficiency is of God..
I am an ble Minister of God!!

The grace of God is not just an unmerited favor; the grace of God is also a divine ability.Woww!!
It’s also a divine ability
I don’t have to only celebrate what grace has made me, I have to also take advantage of the empowerment of grace to do more for the Lord.
Glorrrreeeeeeyyyy
The grace of God changes and transforms your being
Grace is for my BEING and it is also for my DOING.
I don’t take it for granted
I have grace to do what God has entrusted to me.
I am empowered more and more by the grace of God to labour more.
I do more by the empowering grace of God which is poured out upon me.
I am fully resourced and equipped for every good work the Lord has entrusted to me.
I allow Grace to have effect on my life
My heart spills over with thanks to God for the way he continually empowers me…
Thank you Jesus for your Grace
I don’t see myself as capable enough to do anything in my own strength, for my true competence flows from God’s empowering presence.
God has given me grace to speak and when I speak God’s talking
I continue to make this new life fully manifested as I live
I love this verse 1 Corinthians 3:10 from The Passion Translation
“God has given me unique gifts as a skilled master builder who lays a good foundation. Afterward another craftsman comes and builds on it. So builders beware! Let every builder do his work carefully, according to God’s standards.”
My power increases greatly as he become more and more proficient in proving that Jesus is Lord
Thank you sweet Jesus
Oh thank you Lord Jesus for your grace. I take advantage of grace to do more for you Lord
The grace of God upon me will ot be of no effect. I do more , Amen!
Please thank you so much Apostle Bennie for this word. Am brought into consciousness of the abilities of grace upon me Sir. Thank you so much sir
I am empowered by the grace of God to labour more for the Lord
