Abundant Grace Ministries Int'l

Hello dearly beloved, happy New Year, I welcome you into the year 2019. I believe you are growing in the grace and wisdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We continue from last month edition…  Stage 2 :The matured or the perfect believer. (1st Corinthians 2:6-26)  From verses 6-16 of 1st Corinthians, Apostle Paul began to open our eyes to see the attributes of a matured believer is absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit for direction and wisdom to become productive. The matured Christian is more interested in breaking into the intelligence, the wisdom and the counsel of God for every situation. Romans 8:14, “For as many are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.”  Below are some qualities of a matured believer.  1. Their ultimate goal is geared towards the kingdom. Everything a matured Christian does is not for himself/herself per se but to fulfill the will of the Father. They understand that in their everyday lives they c...

Hello dearly beloved, welcome to 2019, the year of the Word of God.  Every December, we enter into the new year with great expectations, hope and dreams only to realize at the end of the year that most of them aren't fulfilled. We haven't sat down to ask ourselves why our dreams and desires haven't really been manifested. Yet every year we keep hoping that things will change one day which is nothing but mere illusion.  A great man once said that doing the same thing same way and expecting a different result is nothing but insanity. I have discovered that the children of the kingdom are the most susceptible to deceit because they lack knowledge and understanding of the word of God that gave birth to them in the first place. They are like the children of Israel that told Moses to go hear from the Lord and tell them because they felt it was not needful hearing God by themselves and for themselves.  So, every year God's children wait for God to do the u...

A believer is supposed to move from stage to stage until they get to the final stage of life where Christ wants them get to. Just like a butterfly moves from an egg to a larva and then to pupa before getting to adulthood, even so a believe ought to grow into maturity also.  When the butterfly is in the stage of the caterpillar, you could never imagine that it could turn into something so beautiful as a butterfly even so we are as believers, we start out looking everything but beautiful, we do not possess any special grace but the potential of been a butterfly still resides in us even as caterpillars.  1st Corinthians 2:1-5, “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determine not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and preaching was not with enticing words of man’...

Hello my beloved saints, I welcome you all to the glorious month of December. I know for sure that the Lord has been gracious to you. May God cause you to increase in the revelation of His word and open unto you extraordinary doors of testimonies. As we round off this awesome year and God opening us up to a much more glorious year, 2019, I will like to share with you what I titled “LOVE NOT THE WORLD.”  The apostle John wrote “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” Why? For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” (1st John 2:15-17). In the first Chapter of his letter, John tells us it is not possible to claim fellowship with God and pattern our lives after the world. He rep...

A lot of believers have a misconception about God, a very wrong mentality about Him. Many Christians think that God is a harsh and vengeful person who does not tolerate any nonsense, a God of vengeance and judgment. We have not come to understand the Fatherhood of God Luke 11:2 says, “And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, OUR FATHER…” not our master, not our ruler, not our president but OUR FATHER. Until you get to this revelation that God is your Father, your prayers will be hindered. You will not be able to get anything tangible from your prayers. One of the things you must come to understand is this, “GOD IS MY FATHER.”  Get to a point in your life where you know that your Father (God) is alive for you, living and active for you. One of the mentalities you need to have is that God is more than everybody put together.  In the life of Jesus on earth, you will discover that He never called God master. He called Him (God) my Father. He understood the fat...

Continued from last edition…  VISION:  Colossians 1:9-10, “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.”   Vision comes after you have sought the kingdom through service and prayer, like the above scripture, Apostle Paul after he heard of the love the Colossian church towards one another, he prayed that God should f ill them with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.  Habakkuk 2:1-2, “I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that rea...

Every major cooperation or successful company in the world are driven by the following; purpose, mission, vision. Billion dollar businesses are founded on these three main concepts which means they must be very important to our success even as believers. These basic concepts should guide every entity on earth if they must enjoy maximum and long lasting success  Purpose:  Every believer is created by God to fulfill a specific purpose on this earth. This purpose is always and ultimately to advance the kingdom of God. This purpose is directly tied to humanity, to demonstrate the power that is in the kingdom our service to humanity so that, those affected by our lives work will be won for Christ. This is the ultimate purpose of every believer on earth.  Matthew 6:31-33, “Therefore take no thought saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or wherewithal shall we be clothed? (for all these things do the gentiles seek) for your heavenly father kn...
