GRACE FOR MORE BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble (James 4:6).
When the Lord gives you an assignment, He empowers you for whatever He calls you to do, by granting you grace for the job. When He increases your responsibilities, He also increases the grace. Except He increases your ability for the higher responsibility, you really canโt accomplish that purpose. Thatโs why increased grace is so important. Grace here, is the bestowal of special favour and ability to fulfil Godโs plan for your life.
Furthermore, as you study the Scriptures, youโd discover that thereโre different graces. For instance, thereโs the grace for salvation, and every child of God received that grace. The Bible says, โFor by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boastโ (Ephesians 2:8-9). Itโs akin to what the Bible says concerning faith: โโฆaccording as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faithโ (Romans 12:3).
Just as God dealt to everyone in Christ the measure of faith, even so has the grace for salvation been given to all men. But then, thereโs the gift of faith, which is different from the measure of faith given to us in Christ. Likewise, Titus 2:11 says, โFor the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.โ But thereโre also different graces in Christ.
Hebrews 4:16 says, โLet us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED.โ In other words, thereโs grace for your assignment; thereโs a grace for anything the Lord instructs you to do or thatโs consistent with His plan and purpose for your life. Therefore, knowing the Lordโs plans and purposes, you can obtain whatever grace you require. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for lavishing me with grace. I take advantage of this grace, riding on it to fulfil your plans and purposes for my life. I make full proof of your grace in my life, for my work, ministry, academics, health, finances, and all that Iโm involved with, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace [which was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
Galatians 6:18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
