The Manifold Grace Of God (Contending For Greater Witness) by Apostle Joshua Selman
Lift your voice and bless God in the Spirit. We are the revealers of His glory, give Him all the praise for His glory.
Pray: Father, in this season that You are revealing Your glory through men, let my life reveal Your glory, let Your power be made manifest through my life, in Jesus name!

No Believer should be at a loss as to the entire dynamics of salvation.
The message of salvation is beyond preaching the gospel for an unsaved person to be saved. It also equips you with the message of salvation that enables you to administer salvation and defend your faith.
Your transformation as a Believer is predicated upon your trust in the leadership of The Holy Spirit.
”And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.“ Acts 4:33 (KJV)
The encounters we experience when we gather in God’s presence are beyond the journey to being spiritual, it is a journey that affects every area of our life.

There is a theological progression of salvation.
When you come to Jesus Christ at salvation, the gifts you receive are:
1. Forgiveness of sin
2. Righteousness by faith
3. Eternal life – the life of God.
As Believers, we’re not just called to tell the story of salvation, we have been called by God to manifest the supernatural and live a life of victory. (Acts 4:33)
The “Great Commission” Entails:
1. Salvation for sinners
2. Transformation of the saints
3. Transformation for territories
The gift of time is God’s proof to you that He is still interested in you.
Every time a door closes, these are the reasons:
1. Dishonour to God
2. Dishonour to men
3. Dishonour to principles
Declare: Lord, I desire to be an exceptional witness furnished by light and the wisdom of The Spirit.
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” 1 Peter 4:10 (KJV)
It takes the manifestation of all graces to abound to the work of God.
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” 2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV)
“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” 1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)
We can see from the Scriptures that the grace of God is multi-dimensional.
You are not bankrupt of grace but there are other dimensions missing. So, you need to press in!
What is Grace?
Grace means supernatural empowerment, an enablement by the Spirit of God that helps you function in the God life and manifest all the realities in Christ.
From a theological standpoint, the grace of God is expressed in two major dimensions:
1. The Saving Grace
This is the grace released upon an unbeliever, that makes the unbeliever believe the Gospel and receive Jesus Christ.
2. The Enabling Grace
This is the supernatural empowerment of The Spirit (2 Corinthians 12:8-9).
The “Saving Grace” has to do with all men (Believers and Unbelievers), but the “Enabling Grace” is the supernatural empowerment of The Spirit. (2 Corinthians 12:8-9)
When you see ordinary men, producing extraordinary results, the supernatural is at work in their lives, outsourced from God. ( Philippians 4:13, 2 Corinthians 3:5)
In the name of Jesus Christ, your life will command the extraordinary!
The grace of God is not generic. You can receive a specific grace, but it may not cover every area of your life.
Every result you desire in every aspect of human living, is made possible by the grace of God, but the grace of God is not generic, it does not speak to every area of ones life.
You can receive a teaching grace and your teaching may be doctrinally sound and theologically excellent, but if you didn’t receive the grace for performance, there will be no signs and wonders following.
There is a need for grace to be represented in every aspect of human life because nobody can produce God’s result to His satisfaction, in the strength of the flesh.
When the lives of people produce certain results consistently, it is because they have accessed the principles of “Grace” by the mercy of God.
There is a knowledge component to releasing Grace.
Pray: Lord, open my eyes to see! It’s a new season, it’s time to produce genuine result in my Christian adventure and rise to a higher level of witness.
Keys To Accessing The Manifold Grace Of God And How To Activate It When Received:
1. You must contend for high-level Spiritual illumination. 2 Peter 1:2-4 KJV
It is not enough to receive impartations. While impartations are powerful and significant, they are like seeds. It is the responsibility of Believers to contend for the light that activates the grace received through impartations.
Graces are light (revelation) dependent.
Every time you receive an Impartation, get relevant Scriptures and find the basis for activating that particular grace.
“And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:” Exodus 3:21 (KJV)
When men receive favour, part of its expression is speed. Every communication of The Spirit, has grace behind it.
Graces are attracted, managed, multiplied, and activated through Light (Scriptural revelation).
Every communication of The Spirit has “Grace” behind it. It is important to support your Impartation with Scriptures.
Graces are manifested and multiplied through Light from Scriptures.
Your respect for light (revelation) determines the degree of grace that works for you. (Galatians 6:7)
Pray in The Spirit for one minute.
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,”
Jude 1:20 (KJV)
2. Investment of quality time, praying in The Spirit.
There is no gift for prayer, it is a discipline that Believers must cultivate to engage the ministry of The Holy Spirit for their benefit or such that it profits them.
Every time you pray, there is always an activation that occurs.
Investment of quality time, praying in The Spirit is another way to access graces.
If you desire an empowerment from God, it is essential to be dilligent in prayer (wake up in the night and pray).
When you genuinely pray in The Spirit, an activation occurs.
When there is bankruptcy of results in certain areas of your life, it indicates that the grace connected or needed to achieve the result you seek has not yet been activated in your life.
3. Impartation from proven stewards and carriers of grace.
The grace you seek, thirst, and hunger for, must be received from stewards who have been tested and proven to possess that grace within them.
It is one thing for you to have proximity to the steward of grace, but there are rules for receiving from that grace, and the greatest of them all is your Motive.
You must answer the question “WHY”. Why do you want to receive the grace for prosperity, favour, speed, influence, signs, and wonders?
If you cannot answer the question “WHY”, it is already proof that you cannot receive from that Grace.
The greatest hindrance we observe from Scriptures that stops men from receiving impartations is the heart condition of the people, but more importantly, the condition of dishonor in their hearts.
The Grace of God is not supposed to be a Spiritual reality alone, it is supposed to find expression in our world, here and now.
