The Ultimate Expression of Grace


                               government and policy, sports and entertainment, youth
                               development, family life, media and telecommunications,
                               education and healthcare, military and law enforcement. It
                               is our divine duty to bring the knowledge and wisdom of
                               the Lord into those fields of influence.


                               3.   Don’t  be  derailed  by  whatever  accolades  and
                                    acquisitions  you  receive.  It  is  certain  that  at  the
                                    place of your grace, you would make progress, achieve
                                    success,  and  earn  recognition.  But  you  got  to  look
                                    beyond all earthly gains, always setting your heart on
                                    eternal relevance and rewards like Jesus did.


                                     “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so
                                     great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
                                     weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us,
                                     and let us run with endurance the race that is set
                                     before  us,  looking  unto  Jesus,  the  author  and
                                     finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set
                                     before  Him  endured  the  cross,  despising  the
                                     shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the
                                     throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2).


                               When the recipients of God’s supernatural ministry set out
                               to make Him a king by force, Jesus perceived and avoided it.

                                     “And  Jesus  took  the  loaves,  and  when  He  had
                                     given thanks He distributed them to the disciples,
                                     and  the  disciples  to  those  sitting  down;  and
                                     likewise  of  the  fish,  as  much  as  they
