The Manifold Grace of God(Contending for greater witness)
By Apostle Joshua Selman

Every teaching that comes from this ministry is beyond the journey of being spiritual.

The teachings expected in Koinonia

1. The message of salvation No believer should be at a loss to the entire dynamics of salvation. The message of salvation is beyond just preaching the gospel to get an unsaved person to be saved and to equip you with the knowledge to be able to minister salvation.

   That a man comes to Jesus by the convicting power of the spirit of God, verbalizing his Lordship, believing that he is savior over his life and destiny, receiving that life into your heart by faith, then receiving the gifts that come with salvation.

   The theological progression of salvation

   1. Forgiveness of sin
   2. Righteousness through faith
   3. Eternal life - the Zoe life

The teaching ministry seeks to build not impress

2. The message of transformation

   The riches that are embedded in this zoe life are released at the instance of knowledge; it is knowledge dependent. Once the holy spirit gets a hold of your spirit at salvation, the next project is your mind. 1 peter 1:9

3. The message of empowerment The believer may be good christian, but may not be an effective witness. It takes beyond transformation to become an effective witness.

4. The message of the supernatural We are not just called to serve God, we are not just called to represent him, we are called to manifest and validate the victory that is in christ. We are not just called to tell the story. We have been called by God to manifest the supernatural - signs and wonders, miracles breakthrough… Acts 4:33

5. The message of purpose Messages that build your life and consciousness as far as the matter of purpose and kingdom advancement is concerned. Messages that deal with value, relationship, destiny…

6. The message of unity and love The message that we are more stronger, better and more effective together.

7. Lasting peace and fulfillment God is always interested in your finding lasting peace and fulfillment. This is where we cover teachings that deal with human relations, principles, leadership, prosperity, success, fulfillment and then your eternal destiny, helping you to live a meaningful life, messages like

   • What seekest thou
   • The law of seasons
   • Messages from an overcomer

Anytime doors close, the cause is dishonor to God, men and principle. Isaiah 61:6.

1 peter 4:10, 1 peter 5:10, 2 Corinthians 9:8

It takes the manifestation of all grace to abound in every good work. Grace is manifold, grace is multidimensional.

2 Corinthians 8:7

Grace in simple terms is divine/supernatural empowerment, enablement by the spirit of God, that helps you function in the God class, that helps you manifest all the realities that are in the christ. It empowers you to be and to do.

Theologically, grace is in 2 categories

1. Saving grace

   This is the grace that is released that makes that believer believe the gospel and receive Jesus. Without the saving grace, no matter how powerful the sermon is, it will not make any sense.

   This is has to do with all men(believers or unbelievers), anyone who comes to Jesus is a beneficiary of that grace

2. Enabling grace

   The supernatural empowerment of the spirit

   2 Corinthians 12:9

   Philippians 4:3

   There are things that alone should not be done by ordinary men, but when this enabling grace comes upon you

   The requisite grace for the next level, may it come upon you

   2 Corinthians 3:5

   Your life will command the extraordinary

   When this grace comes upon you, you cease to be ordinary.

   The power/grace of God is the factor responsible for results, but it is not generic in its operation. You can receive a grace but that grace does not speak to every area of your life.

   The grace for prosperity will not heal the sick.

   Matthew 7:7&8

   Once there is an opportunity to represent Christ there, there will be a need for grace. You will never be able to produce God’s result to his satisfaction in the strength of the flesh.

   When you see certain results happening in some people consistently, it is because through the principles you will learn here, they have by mercy accessed these grace in the various areas as needed by their destinies.

   1 Peter 4:10

   The way the grace of healing works, it works with the hearing of faith.

   The grace of prosperity works upon your mind, it transforms your thinking, it enables you to be productive, then it translates to divine direction.

   The grace for influence cannot work until you understand leadership and relationships.

   The grace for wisdom and revelation is enhanced by meditation.

   The teaching ministry depends on utterance. If you don’t have the grace for utterance, you may know the truth, but you may not be able to communicate it in a way that profits your hearers.

   For every grace you receive you must also understand the working dynamics - how that grace is released and it operates

   Pray:

   Father open my eyes to see

   2 Peter 1:2 - 4

The keys responsible for accessing, attracting, multiplying, receiving and activating any dimension of grace:

1. The first key that is responsible for accessing, attracting, multiplying, receiving and activating any dimension of grace: you must contend for high level spiritual illumination

   - The more spiritually enlightened you are, the more the grace of God is attracted to your life, multiplied in your life and activated in your life.

   Hebrew 7:7

   The union between the movement of the spirit and the spoken word is what produces the miracle

   Everytime you receive and impartation, go back and get relevant scriptures

   Everything that is not working in your life, it is that the grace for it is either not there or is not activated

   Everything that is not working in your life can work if you want it!

   Your respect for light, determines the degree of grace that works for you

   Galatians 6:7

2. The investment of quality time praying in the spirit is a very potent way to activate and multiply graces

1 peter 4:10

The limitation of the command of your result is proof that the grace is either not there or has not been activated.

3. The third key is impartation from proven stewards of that grace

1 peter 4:10

Living and declaring

Choose life - death and life are in the power of the tongue

Psalm 118:17

The greatest hindrance that stops men from receiving impartation is the heart condition of the people, but more importantly the heart condition of dishonor

There are rules to drawing graces from people, chiefest among them is your motive, why do you want the grace?

When God empowers men to hold mighty meetings, he is not just looking for the men alone, he is speaking to kings, institution and the environment, “I am still God and faith still carries value even in nation building”

Daniel 3:28
