AFTER 33 YEARS, PAUL WAS STILL PRAYING, ‘THAT I MAY KNOW HIM.’
MOSES, AFTER SEPARATING THE RED SEA WAS STILL ASKING GOD, ‘THAT I MAY KNOW YOU.’
KNOWLEDGE IS IN DEGREES
GRACE ANSWERS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD; THE DEEPER YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, THE STRONGER THE GRACE YOU WALK IN.

‘RACING AND RISING BY GRACE – THE SECRETS OF GRACE (Part Two).
Yesterday, we saw the secrets of grace Part One and this morning, we shall be looking at those secrets that usher us into the realm of grace. Church Gist. There is no success without secret; there is no effect without effort, there is no outcome without input, there is no result without research. In this journey of grace, what do we do to see grace multiplied because scriptures made it clear in 2 Peter 3:18 that grace can grow and grace can multiply.
What do we do for grace to grow?
We looked at five of those things yesterday;
1). The life of prayer, that we should come boldly to the throne of grace at the place of prayer and we will find grace to help in time of need.
2). The state of helplessness, where you confirm to God that you have no power of your own; you have no strength in your own. Church Gist. People may say you are powerful but you know you are nothing.
3). The character of humility, that God resisteth the proud, but gives grace to the humble; that engraced people are humble people.
4). Sincere love for God; “Lord, You know that my love for You is real, search me Lord and see my sincere love for You.” Church Gist. When I received that song, I am actually realizing that it tallies with Ephesians 6:24. Grace multiplies with sincere love for God.
5). The character of generosity (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).
6). The knowledge of God. Grace answers to the knowledge of God; the deeper your knowledge of God, the stronger the grace you walk in (Exodus 33:13). “Give me grace to know You, so that when I know You, I can experience more grace. Assist me to know You, so that when I know You, I can explode in grace (2 Peter 1:2, 2 Peter 3:18). The growth of grace happens with knowledge.
Paul the Apostle was a man who walked in unusual grace like we saw yesterday (1 Corinthians 15:10, Ephesians 3:8). He was hungry continuously for knowledge (Philippians 3:10). Church Gist. Ignorance of God equals bankruptcy of grace and every prayer to know God is prayer to access grace. Every time I say, “Lord, may I know You, let me know You more.” I am saying to God, give me access to greater grace.
- I speak to someone here live and someone watching via the satellite and in the internet, I prophesy to you; the knowledge of God in your life is about to explode. God is about to take you to a place where you will know Him and grace will explode!
If I knew what Smith Wigglesworth knew about God, I will walk in the grace he walks in. If I know what Pastor Adeboye knows, if I know what Bishop David Oyedepo knows; so we don’t just look at people and say, “Oh, God is just special with them or partial with them.” One day, I told my wife and I said, “I want you to pray for me.” And she said, “What? Pray for you for what?” I said, “I want to know God; I want to know Him in deeper dimension.” Church Gist. I said, “I am just hungry.” She said, “If you don’t know God, then what do I know?” I said, pray for me because knowledge is in degrees, I am hungry for God. After 33 years, Paul was still praying that I may know Him. Moses, after separating the Red Sea was still asking God, that I may know You. So, it is very important; don’t ever forget to permanently ask God to show you the dimension of Him that you are yet to know.
Someone said, if you want to know a person, listen to what they say and what they sing; “Take me to that side of You that I am yet to know.” It is very important.
