On Sunday, Pastor Mathew Eleojoh James delivered a compelling sermon titled “Understanding the Power of Grace, Part 4” at the Solemn Faith International Church in Port Harcourt. Addressing the congregation, Pastor James explored the profound concept of grace, emphasizing its critical role in a believer’s life.
Defining grace as a divine force that empowers individuals to do what is right and reject wrongdoing, Pastor James stressed its importance for diligent and faithful work with God.
He illustrated this by referencing several Bible passages and noted that grace is essential for living a life of righteousness and commitment.
Pastor James also highlighted the connection between grace and generosity, asserting that the more one gives, the more of God’s grace they receive. He explained that this divine grace allows believers to partake in God’s goodness and abundance.
Furthermore, Pastor James outlined ways to access grace, such as maintaining a lifestyle of thanksgiving and embracing prophetic actions.
He warned of several enemies of grace, including sin, pride, bitterness, and corrupt communication, which can hinder a believer’s spiritual journey.
Throughout his sermon, Pastor James interspersed his teachings with powerful quotes, reinforcing the message that grace is vital for a diligent and fruitful Christian life. He asserted that “Grace is not for laziness but for diligent people.
Your dividend is in your diligence,” and “Until quality thanksgiving is engaged, grace cannot be accessed.”
Concluding his message, Pastor James reminded the congregation that to fully experience God’s grace, one must fear God and keep His commandments.
The service was further enriched by special music performances, prayers, and moments of healing, leaving the congregation deeply moved and inspired by the profound understanding of grace imparted by Pastor James.
