GRACE, Exploring Its Riches


                               wish and pray and labour to end well. May you end well
                               too!


                               2.   Locate your appointed mountain. The Bible says
                                    in Matthew 28:16,


                                     “Then  the  eleven  disciples  went  away  into
                                     Galilee,  to  the  mountain  which  Jesus  had
                                     appointed for them.”


                               Each of us needs to discover the specific mountains the
                               Lord has appointed for us and work at establishing His
                               kingdom there. It is the plan of God, as Habakkuk 2:14 puts
                               it, that the earth be filled with the knowledge of the glory of
                               the LORD, As the waters cover the sea. That’s part of how
                               the kingdoms of this world would become the kingdoms of
                               our Lord and of His Christ, who shall reign forever and
                               ever! (Revelation 11:15).


                               Whether we call them mountains, domains or kingdoms,
                               the idea is that there is a sphere of influence over every
                               human,  city,  culture  or  nation.  It  is  the  duty  of  every
                               recipient  of  grace  to  locate  the  field  where  the  grace
                               received is most effective in their life and strategically seek
                               to use that grace to influence that domain for God.


                               As we find the domain of effectiveness for the grace we have
                               received, Christians may find themselves in such fields as
                               mission  service  and  ministry,  business  and  commerce,
