Acts 4 verse 33: ‘And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.’

You are welcome to our discussion on how to grow and multiply God’s grace on our lives. I trust that you have been thoroughly blessed by the principles I have shared so far with you. So without much ado, let’s examine another critical component of great grace. So here we go!

HOW GRACE CAN ABOUND?

7. By growing in your level of Network i.e. your level of association and influence. Walking with the right kind of people is also one of the keys to multiplying grace. There are graces and there are graces. There are people more graced than you are and God has deposited his grace in such people. Pro13v20; 1Cor15v33. Pro27v17; 1Sam10v10-12. There are people who carry what you need and your connection determines what flows into your life (i.e. Outflow). So how properly connected are you to this kind of Graces? Your connection is important because it will determine a lot of things such as:

1. It will determine who or what you will become. You become like those you closely associate with either good or bad. Pro13v20; Matt4v19.
2. It will determine what accompanies you i.e. success or failure, victory or defeat etc. 2Ki2v15; Mk16v17.
3.  It will determine the kind of support you will receive or get. Everyone needs a support system. Pro27v17; Acts4v23. So this is what you need to grow your network!
4. It will determine your level of productivity or output i.e. what you can produce or deliver. Jer12v5; Eccle4v9.
5. It will determine who and what you have access to. Walking with the right kind of people will open doors for you. Deut34v9. Trust me, I have seen this grace at work in my life and I believe it’s time for you to experience such too in Jesus name, amen.

So how can you connect to this Grace? You can do this by the following:

• Respect and Honour them. The anointing (or grace) you respect is what you all attract. Mk6v6, Heb13v24; 1Thess5v12-13. This is so vitally important. I pray that God will open your eyes of understanding.
• Stay close to them. You can’t draw grace from afar e.g. Elijah and Elisha, Moses and Joshua, Jesus and 12 Apostles etc. Matt4v19; Acts4v13.
• Minister unto them. Serve and minister to their needs. 2ki3v11; Pro18v18; Gal6v6.
• Covet earnestly the grace. Matt5v; Ps107v9; 1Cor12v31.
• Listen to their Messages and read their books/materials. Grace can be impacted via word, books etc. Rom1v11; Lk10v38-42; Rom15v29. So my dear reader are you ready to upgrade your level of network!

Other Scriptural References: 2Ki1v12, 15; Philjp2v19-22; Deut34v9; Eccl4v9-12; Matt4v19; Acts4v13; 1Sam23v8-39; 2Sam21v18-22.

Prayer for Today: Lord, help me to grow in my level of network in Jesus name, amen.

CONFESSION: Lord, I fully embrace all these truths and principles in multiplying grace on my life and work. Therefore, I refuse to settle for anything other than great grace. I declare that I am operating in mega grace, mega power, mega favour, kindness, mega help and assistance in Jesus name, amen. Halleluyah be to Jesus!
