Stewards of God's Grace

1 Peter 4 10, it says,

as each one has received a gift,

minister it to one another,

and as good stewards of the manifold grace of God,

if anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God,

and if anyone ministers, let him do it

as with the ability which God supplies,

that in all things God may be glorified

through Jesus Christ to whom belong the glory

and the dominion forever and ever, amen.

And I would like to leave this thought, if I may,

stewards of God's grace, amen.

You may take your places, thank you.

Once again, we are grateful to the Lord for this privilege.

Stewards of God's grace.

It is faith that gives access to grace,

and faith comes by the utterance

and the hearing of God's word.

Grace is a virtue, it is a power, it is mercy at its best.

It is an unspeakable gift from God.

Grace is the only means by which any person

can ever do any good works.

There's a lot of folks in the world

that attempt to do a lot of things.

They attempt, and they're good things.

There's some folks out there that they give of themselves

and they invest into so many things

and attempting to do good works.

However, you will never be able to meet

your ability of being a giver and a doer of good works

without the grace of God, amen.

Grace is the empowerment, the empowering presence of God

that enables us to do what he has created us to do

and be whom he has created us to be.

Grace is sufficient in all things.

Grace is a power to witness, a power to disciple,

and a power to evangelize.

The Apostle Paul said this about grace

in 1 Corinthians 15 10.

It says, but by the grace of God, I am what I am

and his grace toward me was not in vain.

Somebody say, it's not in vain in me.

But I labored more abundantly than they all,

yet not I but the grace of God which was with me.

And he gave tribute and he gave glory to God

and he thanked God for the grace

that God had bestowed upon him.

Much can be said and taught about grace

because it's endless work is in the world

and we can reach for months on grace.

In fact, that is the message of God.

That is what it's all about,

the grace of our powerful Savior Jesus Christ.

But my focus for today is about being good stewards

of the manifold grace of God.

In other words, now it's up to you and now it's up to me.

For the sake of this message, I encourage you,

if you wanna make a little note of this,

I encourage you as an assignment for this week,

if you can take the moment this week

and somebody says this preacher's given us homework,

yes he is.

And I'm giving you homework to read

and to meditate on Proverbs chapter three.

If you can go to Proverbs three,

we're not gonna read that now, that's your assignment.

Take that with you, Proverbs three,

read that which establishes a foundation

and a pattern for stewardship.

Praise the Lord, God is amazing, isn't he?

It strongly suggests that stewardship

is submission to lordship.

We will never succeed in being good stewards of God's grace

until we submit to his lordship.

To know him is to know he is sovereign.

Sovereignty means that God, as the ruler of the universe,

has the right to do whatever he wants.

He doesn't have to ask permission from anybody

to do what he wants.

If he wants to bless you today,

it doesn't matter how the economy tells you,

it doesn't matter what the world says.

If he wants to heal you,

it doesn't matter what the doctor says

or what science says.

If he wants to lift you up when you're down,

it doesn't matter who's on top of you

or who's pressing you down

because God is in control of all things.

He doesn't have to ask permission

from anybody to bless your life.

So you can be assured of this, nobody controls you.

Nobody can hold you down.

Nobody can detain from you

because when God wants to bless you,

you're gonna get it.

Amen?

Further, he is in complete control

over everything that happens.

It doesn't matter, praise God.

He's in control.

There is absolutely nothing that happens in the universe

that is outside of God's influence and his authority.

Praise God for that, I love it.

Amen, when I step into a situation,

praise God, when I go through valleys

and I go through tribulations

and I go through certain things in life

that are not comfortable for me,

I remember who he is in my life

and that his grace is sufficient for me

and it doesn't matter what is happening outside

in the world, God's influence and authority

is upon my life.

Praise the Lord.

Psalm 115 and three says,

but our God is in heaven,

he does whatever he pleases.

Isn't that something?

Amen, there's folks today that do that.

They think they can do whatever they please.

Wouldn't you tell them, wouldn't you tell them

you're nobody, man, you're not in control, God is.

Praise God.

The only one that can do whatever he wants is God.

Outside of that, we're all subject to something.

Praise the Lord, amen.

I don't know which one of you,

outside of Elijah, of course,

the prophet has said let it stop raining

and it stopped raining, but if it rains,

you're gonna get out your umbrella

because it's gonna rain, man.

That's all there is to it.

It's gonna rain on your party,

it's gonna rain on whatever's happening in your life.

You can't stop that.

The sun is going to go down

and it's going down earlier now,

it makes me sad, around 715 or something is going down.

Nobody's gonna stop the sun unless God does it.

Praise the Lord, amen.

There's no scientist, praise God, that can do that.

Only God can, but you know what?

If you're a child of God, you can tell God,

hold the sun for just a little bit longer.

I need some time.

God will give it to you, praise God,

if you need it, praise the Lord.

God is above all things and before all things,

so nothing preceded him and nothing will be after him

because he is alpha and omega of all things, amen.

God created all things and holds all things together.

The heavens and the earth are held together by his word,

both in heaven and on earth, both visible and invisible.

Praise God.

Colossians 1-16 says, for by him all things were created

that are in heaven and that are on earth,

visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions

or principalities or powers, all things were created

through him and for him.

This is important, all things,

the last part of that scripture,

all things were created through him and for him.

In other words, everything that is created, he created it

and secondly, he created it for himself.

He didn't create nothing for you.

I don't wanna burst your bubble right there.

Praise God, he created nothing for you, praise God.

He created all things and he created all things for himself.

Bless the Lord, amen.

And if you wanna be part of that,

then you need to bless him.

He made you for him.

He didn't make you for anything else.

He didn't make you for your career.

He didn't make you to have best friends in this life.

Even your wife and your husband, you might say,

God didn't create me for you, he created me for him

and he just happened to put you there.

Praise God, you're the second place, he's first place.

Oh man, I think I made somebody feel bad right there

and you thought you were number one, praise God.

No, you're number second.

All creation, including humanity,

was created by and through him for himself.

Stewardship involves allowing God to work in and through us.

Praise God.

There is no room for selfishness in stewardship.

We're gonna talk about stewardship.

Grace and stewardship.

There is no room for selfishness in stewardship.

We should not put ourselves above God's purpose

for ourselves, for our lives, which eliminates self glory.

He's gonna save you from that.

He's gonna save you from being self glorified.

All glory belongs to God.

Can I get an amen right there?

And God alone.

This is what lordship is.

Lordship is accepting the sovereignty of God in our lives,

putting God first, accepting responsibility,

accepting accountability, personal obedience to God,

regardless of inconvenience or cost.

Lordship is amazing and it is powerful

when we learn the sovereignty of God

and we learn who is Lord of our lives.

All of these things become, amen,

something that we do every day, day in and day out.

We accept the sovereignty of God.

We don't question God for what, this or that.

We don't question God if the stock market crashes tomorrow.

To God be the glory, amen.

And we don't question God as to who's first.

You're first in my life.

How?

Because I'm gonna prove it to you.

We gotta prove to God that he's first by the things we do.

Talk is cheap, like somebody said, right?

But our actions are powerful.

They demonstrate who we really are and what we must do.

Biblical stewardship is based upon

a spiritual relationship with God

and his lordship in all areas of life,

such as faithfulness, time, family, health,

resources, talents, and even spiritual gifts, amen.

They all, these represent the stewardship

that has been given to us

when we have a relationship with God.

Normally, when we think of stewardship,

we think of how to manage money,

how to manage our possessions, amen.

But stewardship is about faithfulness.

Praise the Lord, somebody.

Stewardship is about faithfulness.

You might say, you know, how can I be a good steward?

Well, your faithfulness is the fruit of stewardship.

If you're not being a good steward,

you're not gonna have no fruit of it

because it comes through faithfulness.

If you're faithful to God, then you can be a good steward.

If you're having trouble serving in whatever capacity,

you know, I really wanna help,

I really wanna do something.

I wanna do something for God.

If you're not being faithful, praise God, somebody.

It's getting kinda quiet, but that's okay.

I've preached to myself a lot of times.

I'm just kidding.

But faithfulness is of high priority.

1 Corinthians 4 and 2 says,

moreover, it is required in stewards

that a man be found faithful.

Praise God, somebody say faithfulness.

Come on, faithfulness is important.

It is required, it says, it is required in stewards.

If you're going to be a steward of God's grace,

you need to be a faithful person.

Stewardship is the way we handle those things in our lives

that God has given us,

the things that he's deposited in our lives.

You see, we're not supposed to be hoarders

of the things of God.

We don't hoard the things, we don't hang on to them.

We don't just, you know, package it

and put it in a closet or in a barn

like that foolish man did.

He hoarded things in the barn.

You know, and sat on his rocker thinking

that he's got something for the future.

I'm gonna tell you something,

stewardship is not about that.

Stewardship is how we manage our God-given resources

for his glory, not our glory,

and for the good of others and the church.

When we put the church first, we are putting God first.

Amen, and that's how I can prove it.

You know, that is my dipstick, if you please,

a thermometer of how we do in God.

If you are a servant of God in his kingdom,

then you're doing it for God's glory.

But if you're doing things for yourself,

for your self-gain, then you're not doing it for the church

and you are not a stewardship faithfully to God.

Stewardship is a reflection of our relationship with God.

Amen.

Matthew 25 and 23 says this,

well done, good and faithful servant.

Thou has been faithful over a few things.

I will make thee ruler over many things.

Enter thou into the joy of the Lord.

We read that when, you know,

somebody died at a funeral, this is,

but I don't want that to be read at my funeral.

I want to read it now because it affects me right now.

I want God to, how many of you like it

when the boss comes around and he taps you on the shoulder,

he says, good job, man, well done.

Doesn't that feel good?

You know what I used to tell my boss?

You know, he'd come around and he was real nice, you know,

and he would tap me and say, oh man, good job, Joy.

I said, don't butter me up without the bread.

The money, yes sir.

You can butter me up all day, but give me the bread.

Put the butter on some bread and it's gonna be good, man.

Praise God, that didn't cost you nothing there.

But hey, faithful servants say, man,

we're gonna be good over a few things.

You know, we got a few things that we can do for God.

Don't you want to do something great for God?

How many of you want to do something miraculous,

something great for God's kingdom?

You want to be, I mean, you want to be out of the paradise.

You want to be out of the,

out of the, what they call the mediocrity.

You want to get out there and do something great,

not for yourself, but because you are serving God Almighty.

You want to represent God.

God requires faithfulness in stewards.

A biblical character,

and I want to just touch on this character a little bit,

a biblical character that I would like to reference

is the life of Eliezer.

Eliezer was Abraham's closest servant.

Eliezer's stewardship depended

on his closeness to his master.

Only then can any steward understand

and know the heart of the master.

In Genesis 15 and two, it tells us

there's something interesting.

This has always impacted my life.

It says, but Abram said, Lord God, what will you give me?

Seeing I go childless

and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?

This is an interesting statement

coming from the richest man in the world.

Praise God.

And you know, I've been kind of watching

and hearing how people respond to the wills

and of their parents and whatnot.

And I've even seen bumper stickers

in the back of a really nice motor home

going down the road.

It says, I'm spending my children's inheritance.

I'm not leaving them nothing, man.

Well, praise God, there's people that are like that.

They think that way.

But you know, Abraham had a different mentality

because you see, Abraham,

he knew that he was called out

for something special and miraculous.

It depended on him.

But he was childless.

And what will I leave my inheritance to?

And then he says, he questioned God Eliezer of Damascus?

Do you want me to give it to him?

And the Hebrew name Eliezer means God is my help.

That's what that name means, God is my help.

The first and most notable is that

he was Abraham's most trusted servant.

Eliezer of Damascus would have inherited Abraham's fortune

if Isaac had not been born.

I imagine that Eliezer was probably keeping

Abraham and Sarah apart.

So, I'm just kidding you there.

So they wouldn't have a child, right?

You sleep over there, Abraham and Sarah, you sleep over,

you're too old.

Really?

Why, because you want the inheritance?

No, Eliezer didn't think like that.

He wanted the best for his master.

He, of course, he knew the greatness of this man.

He understood the riches that he was,

simply said his name means this

because he helped Abraham through his life.

Eliezer helped Abraham accomplish

what Abraham needed to do.

Not many people know Eliezer of Damascus.

He's not one of the most prominent Bible characters, amen.

However, this man played a major role in Abraham's life.

A steward is a person that is responsible

for managing the property and the affairs

of his master or others.

In the case of Eliezer,

he had an enormous responsibility in managing the affairs

of his master Abraham, who was considered in that time

the wealthiest man in the world.

In Genesis 13, two, it says Abram was very rich

in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

Wow, praise God.

Eliezer recognized his master's wealth.

He knew his master was wealthy.

In Genesis 24 and 34 it says,

so he said, I'm Abraham's servant.

This is his confession.

I am Abraham's servant.

The Lord has blessed my master greatly

and he has become great and he has given him flocks

and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants,

and camels and donkeys.

You see, when you acknowledge how great your God is,

you're gonna talk about it, praise the Lord.

It says you're gonna talk about it.

I don't know what your father or the Lord of lords is to you,

but he is everything to me.

I wanna brag a little bit about him.

You see, Eliezer bragged about his master.

He told people, you know my master,

he's got everything he needs.

He doesn't need nobody, but he's got everything.

All the riches in the world belong to him.

And I wish that somebody,

as you walk out of these doors today,

find the first person you can and tell them,

you know who my father is, you know who my master is.

He's the Lord of lords, the King of kings.

He has everything at his dispense.

And guess what?

I am his steward.

Praise God.

So you see, we are stewards of his grace.

We are stewards of his wealth.

We are steward of his mercy.

We are stewards of his love.

We are stewards of everything that he is

and everything that he possesses.

Through the years, Abraham found Eliezer

to be faithful and dependable.

So much so that Abraham chose him

to carry out a most important task.

And you all know this story.

Abraham, according to Genesis 24, sent Eliezer

hundreds of miles away to find a wife

that was spiritually suitable for his only son, Isaac.

Isn't this what God expects from us?

Aren't we also seeking a wife for the Lord?

Hello.

Aren't we evangelizing the world in search for a wife

and then preparing her for the Lord through his grace?

God has entrusted us with his grace

to find him a bride, to find him a wife.

That is your most, and that is above everything else

that you have to do in the kingdom of God,

above everything else that you have to do in this life.

Amen, everything that you do from the morning

until you lay your head at night.

Your mission and your commission is find the Lord a wife.

Praise God.

God entrusted us with this.

This is our mission.

He wants a bride.

Praise the Lord.

God has entrusted that on you.

Second Corinthians 9 and 8,

Paul declared to the Corinthians,

and he said this in Second Corinthians 9 and 8,

he said, God is able to make all grace abound toward you

that you always having all sufficiency in all things

may abound to every good work.

Grace is the fuel to our work, to become a servant.

Grace is our motivation.

Paul said that God has grace sufficient for each one

of our needs, enabling us by his grace to do the good works

he wants us to do and to live the life

that he has called us to live.

Grace is not grace until it has been imparted and shared.

We cannot hoard grace in our lives and think

that we're just gonna accumulate as much grace as we can

for ourselves.

Grace is like love.

It's not love until you've given it away.

Nobody's gonna know about the love of God

until you give it away.

Nobody's gonna know about the grace of God

until you have given it away.

Eliezer succeeded in his assignment with God's help

in finding Rebecca for Isaac.

No matter what Abraham placed in Eliezer's hands,

Eliezer was found to be faithful and dependable

in promoting his master's best interest.

And mention, I mention Eliezer because he is the ideal

example for us to imitate.

In 1 Peter 410 that we read in our opening scripture,

it says, good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Knowing that God owns everything, we must understand

that we do not even own our own time, our money,

our health, our resources, our talents, and even our gifts.

In actuality, God owns our entire being.

If you own your car, his name is on the title.

If you own a home, his name is on the deed.

If you are married, his name is on the covenant.

If you have children, he owns them.

We are merely guardians.

If you own a business, he is the registered owner.

And he's not a fictitious name, he's a real name.

Somebody say, praise the Lord, you go open a business,

you gotta put down a fictitious name.

Amen, praise God, not him.

Don't make him fictitious, he's the real deal.

We are merely stewards of our master, Jesus Christ.

In 1 Corinthians 6, 19 it says,

or do you not know that your body is the temple

of the Holy Spirit who is in you,

whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Oh, we need to be reminded once in a while,

especially when we're going through something, you know,

and we can't find a way out, and we're having difficulty,

whether it's with a wayward child or a sickness or something.

Don't you know that God owns you?

And he doesn't abandon his own.

He'll heal your body, he'll pick you up from there.

He'll set you on heavenly places with him.

Praise be to God, he owns you.

So if your business is your business,

he owns your business, it's gonna go well for you.

Every investment that you make, it's gonna go well for you.

It will be prospered, and everywhere and everything you do,

you'll be prospered.

Never mind all the creation, never mind the animal kingdom,

never mind nature, never mind the universe.

What God is interested in is you.

God wants you.

He did not come to save the world physically,

he came to save humanity, which typifies the very reason

why he created everything, including the world.

He did not deposit the Holy Spirit in anything else

other than humanity.

Animals don't have the Holy Ghost, we have the Holy Spirit.

Somebody say, praise God.

I can just see your dog speaking in tongues out there,

I don't know.

Dogs bark, praise God,

but animals don't get the Holy Ghost, we do.

Isn't that something special?

Praise God, and above all, amen.

Doesn't matter where a man goes in the outer space,

unfortunately there's two astronauts,

they went up for eight days,

and they're gonna be up there for eight months.

God help us, amen.

What man wants to know, praise God,

God can show it to us in an instant, just like that.

He's the owner of all things.

In his manifold grace, he grants us all that we have

and enjoy in this life.

We are stewards then of what God gives us.

Peter said that everything we are given

is with the purpose of God's best interest.

Ephesians 4, 29 and 30, the Apostle said,

let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth,

but what is good for necessary edification,

that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Imparting grace is of great importance in God's kingdom,

because nobody else can do it but you and me

that have the Holy Spirit.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,

by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Let us not grieve the Holy Spirit.

How do we grieve the Holy Spirit?

We grieve the Holy Spirit when somebody needs to know

about Jesus and we don't say nothing.

Paz de Cristo.

Cuando nos quedamos con la boca callada ya cerrada.

Woo, la grace de Dios no hace su trabajo.

The grace does not do its work if we just shut up.

If we don't say nothing, if we don't open our mouth

and we know that person does not know God,

especially the way they're acting and do it,

and we don't tell them about the grace of God,

we're not being good stewards.

God is trusting you.

Can you imagine the Holy Ghost frustrated within us,

grieving the Spirit of God,

because we don't open our mouth and tell him,

Jesus loves you.

Silver and gold have I none but such as I have,

which you have is the grace of God.

Lift up that person from that place where they are.

Don't grieve the Holy Spirit.

If we grieve the Holy Spirit,

we are working against the plan and the mission of God.

God can and will use us through his Spirit

to impart grace to the hearers.

We have to speak his word.

We have to say his word.

We have to be instant, in season, out of season.

That's not just for the preachers, that's for all of us,

to be instant, in season, and out of season.

If the pianist can come up now, praise God.

Praise the Lord.

And we need to be instant.

We need to be ready to speak his word.

And to whatever situation confronts us,

if you're on the way to your church or something happens,

you get an opportunity.

Extend your hand and help somebody.

Nobody's gonna trip on the little sign

that you have out there, really nice.

Nobody's gonna trip on that,

where they're walking their dog,

so, oh, Annapolis, Stolle Church, City Light.

I think I'll go in.

They're gonna do that.

Chances are, if they trip, they're gonna wanna sue us.

Believe me, I know.

And, but, the sign is not there for somebody to trip on.

The sign there is to identify as yes,

but you are the voice of God.

Don't grieve the Holy Spirit.

I challenge somebody here today.

I challenge you.

As our assignment as stewards of grace,

to impart to our community,

to impart to our neighbors, our co-labors,

to an unsafe family, ultimately the world.

I challenge you today.

If there's somebody that you can think of right now

or that you passed by yesterday or this week,

that doesn't know God,

God is looking for stewards of his grace,

stewards that will have the word in their mouth

to speak grace into people's life.

And this is what we do in this life.

There's nothing more important than a lost soul to get saved.

There's no important, nothing more.

Let us not build the church with two by fours and concrete.

Let's build the church with people.

Build the church with people, lives, souls

that need what we have.

Don't let a week or a day go by

without being a steward of his grace.

Tell somebody, come over to my house for a cup of coffee.

Well, let's meet at the donut shop or Starbucks

or somewhere in the park.

Let's meet, I wanna share something with you.

That is the grace of God.

That's what God wants.

He sent Eliezer to find him a wife.

What if Eliezer would have gotten distracted along the way?

What if all the camels and the servants that were with him

with all the riches of his master to go and find him a wife,

he got distracted along the way and said,

oh, you know what, this is a good place to start a career.

This is a good place to build a home.

This is a good place that we can just settle down

and let's enjoy the beach over here.

This is a good place to just have a party.

Let's have a picnic right here.

You see, Eliezer was not distracted.

He was on a mission.

I gotta find a wife for my master's son.

I gotta find a wife.

And you know, the Lord put that wife, she came to him.

He didn't go look.

You see, when we have a purpose to share grace

and when we make up our mind

that we're gonna share the grace of God,

God will bring the people to you.

He'll bring them to you.

They'll be right there in front of you.

What an opportunity.

You see, because Eliezer didn't go into the city,

he didn't go looking.

He saw this woman and he knew that's her.

That's her, look at her.

She offered to give our camels to drink and wow.

You see, God would lead you to the lost

if your purpose is not distracted.

If you're not into yourself and you know,

I'm gonna tell you something.

You can stand with me, please.

I'm sure there's little testimony.

When I worked at IBM, I worked with a lot of

different kinds of people.

But there was this one Chinese fella.

He was an engineer.

He was high up there in the hierarchy of corporate world.

He was an investor.

And he was always talking about how much he had in stocks.

Oh, the man was doing good.

He had a going.

He drove, he used to drive one of those S500s

or is that what they called it, 500s?

I don't know, Mercedes convertibles.

And back in that time, it was amazing, wow.

He'd drive around with the top down everywhere

and he was well off.

One day I came in on a Monday morning.

When I came into the building, I heard this cry.

A grown man crying.

And it struck me on, it says what, somebody died?

Or what happened?

And I came in and walking around

and there he was in his office crying like a baby

over his desk just pounding it and crying.

And I asked somebody, what's going on?

He says, didn't you hear?

I said, no, the stock market crashed.

He lost everything.

And me, I wasn't an investor like that.

What do I know?

I said, so what's wrong with a guy putting everything

in something like this?

He had everything.

He was crying like a baby.

He lost it all, just like that.

Gone.

So that was an awakening to me.

Not to put my treasures in this world

but to invest everything I have in God.

I'd rather where there's no thief,

no stock market is gonna affect that.

It doesn't matter what the world does

when we invest in Jesus.

Blessed be the name of the Lord,

everything is gonna be all right.

We may not be the wealthiest or the richest people

in the world but we are the most content people

in the world.

God bless God and the world cannot control

what the economy does but God can control our economy

in the church.

But more importantly than those things,

there's only one thing that has value in this world

to our master, that's a soul.

If we can lead one of those souls to the master,

we're doing our job.

That's stewards of grace.

I'm gonna ask you today,

I know that this is, I'm not the pastor here

but I'm sure he'll be okay with this

and if everybody brought a soul next week,

I think we'll be okay.

But I'm gonna ask you, if you want God to use you

as a steward of grace to reach one soul,

I wanna pray with you, come on up, come on up.

Let's pray together, this is just me.

Come on up, come on up.

We can win a soul if we can be stewards of his grace.

I wanna speak to that person that has been

at the coffee shop every week and I see them

and I say hi.

That person that walks their dog around the neighborhood

and always says hi to you when they come by.

Or that family that's at the same school as your children.

Let's build up courage.

Let's not become distracted.

The liaison was not distracted, he was on a mission

and we are on a mission.

Can we just open our hearts to the Lord and say,

Lord, if you can use anything, you can use me.

I'm available to you Lord.

I'm your steward, faithful, I'll do it for you Jesus.

I won't get distracted with the affairs of life.

I won't get distracted with politics.

I won't get distracted Lord with the things that surround us.

I wanna stick with the mission.

I wanna be a steward of grace.

Let us pray together.

Vamos a orar juntos.

Let us pray together and pray that somehow, some way,

you and I can be a steward of grace this week.

God in your name, Father I thank you for your word

that is easily understood but sometimes difficult to accept.

But I accept it today.

I accept your word Lord that you are looking for stewards

of your grace to reach the unsaved.

That is your treasure.

That's your treasure Lord.

Help me to uncover that treasure.

Help me to reach down and help that situation.

Let me go to that hospital room and pray for that family.

Let me pray for my neighbors, pray for my co-labors,

pray for my extended family.

I'll go to the prison house.

I'll go to the hospital.

I'll go to wherever you send me.

And I'll tell them your grace is sufficient.

Your grace is sufficient.

Father in the name of Jesus, I decree and I declare

upon all of us here today and including myself Lord,

help us to be faithful, so ever faithful to you,

to your grace.

Oh, hallelujah.
