The Ultimate Expression of Grace


                               those  who  appropriate  the  grace  they  have  received  for
                               heaven’s benefit. See how grace operates in different areas
                               of life.


                                1.     Grace for Your Own Destiny
                               In addition to living for God you need to know what He
                               created you for; then prepare for it and harness the grace of
                               God on your life towards fulfilling your very destiny. God
                               strategically  deposits  diverse  forms  of  grace  on  His
                               children  so  that  we  can  bring  His  influence  into  every
                               human domain. There is no sphere of human activity in
                               every nation that cannot positively be affected by the grace
                               of God. See the example of Paul.


                                     “Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be
                                     an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which
                                     He promised before through His prophets in the
                                     Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ
                                     our  Lord,  who  was  born  of  the  seed  of  David
                                     according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of
                                     God  with  power  according  to  the  Spirit  of
                                     holiness,  by  the  resurrection  from  the  dead.
                                     Through  Him  we  have  received  grace  and
                                     apostleship for obedience to the faith among all
                                     nations for His name, among whom you also are
                                     the called of Jesus Christ” (Romans 1:1-6).


                               The grace of God can influence every nation under heaven.
                               It would require the human carriers of God’s grace to know
