The Grace For Visibility(the Dynamics Of Accessing The Hear Ye Him Anointing) by Apostle Joshua Selman: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Many things happen to us in His presence - there is healing, deliverance, transformation, direction, strengthening of your convictions, but the most important of all is your enlightenment(the bases for your transformation) and empowerment(the grace to become a testament of the things that you have learnt.)

Matthew 13:11

The word mystery means a body of knowledge that is only privy to a group of people.

There are 3 layers to engaging the word of God.

1. Historic layer
2. Doctrinal layer
3. The prophetic layer

For a believer to be holistically built, the believer must at one point or the other explore the word of God from these 3 dimensions.

2 Timothy 4:7

The Grace for Visibility

This is the power that elevates a man from the place of hiding to a visible force.

We are made by the body of light and the spiritual knowledge that we know.

Deuteronomy 28:1, Matthew 17:1 - 5

The only way people can receive from you is that they are aware that you are there.

God desires visibility for all believers

Matthew 5:13 - 16, Micah 4:1 - 2, Daniel 4:20-22

What does it mean to be visible?

* To be visible means to be capable of being seen or perceived by the eye.

* It means to be manifest, obvious, it means to be unmistakable.

* It means to move beyond confinement.

* To be able or likely to attract notice or attention.

Why visibility?

1. So that our ministry as witnesses, kingdom ambassadors can and will be effective Acts 1:8

   We have an assignment to be light to our world, and that cannot happen while we are in hiding

2. So that the gospel can reach the unreached, translating to a greater harvest.
3. As a reward and a consolation to our knowing, loving and serving Jesus. Hebrews 11:6, Psalm 103:2, John 17:1, Galatians 1:24, Matthew 5:16, John 16:8, John 15:16

One of the reasons why many people don't receive it is that their motive may not be among these reasons.

   John 3:30 - When this becomes the anthem/theme of your life, then you are ready for visibility.

   Death to self means dying to the insatiable appetite for vainglory.

   Romans 17:3

   Once everything becomes about you, you are already falling prey - the temptation of overestimating yourself.

   To die to self means to die to the obsession for fame and over celebration. It extends to wanting to use things around you for validation.

2. Enlightenment and Transformation

   Isaiah 60:1

   Acquiring knowledge that translates to superior believe systems

   Genesis 13:14 - 15

   The real hand that receives possibilities into your life is not your physical hand but your mindset.

   Psalm 78:41, Proverbs 17:2

3. Value and Productivity

   Proverbs 22:29

   When we talk about value in the kingdom, we are talking about:

   The dexterity of your virtue.

   Then transact-able skills.

   What is value and productivity

   Superior solutions that relate to and solve human needs.

   It demands skill, training, unlearning and relearning, it will also demand upgrading to best practices.

   Furthermore, another demand for being valuable is a skillful and intelligent presentation of those solutions - this can either add or diminish the weight/power of your value

   A great solution presented poorly will hardly be received and rewarded

   Your value to men will define their perception of your importance alongside their willingness to reward and honor you. Your world will see you as a burden until you redefine your perception by being valuable.

   Mark 1:35 - 37

4. Strategic connections

   Relationships are advantageous connections that are and should be mutually beneficial to the parties involved.

   Relationships are bridges to an exceptional life or a life of pain and regret.

   You want to gain mastery over relationships? Learn people skills.

   Real wealth is access to the hearts of men - securing the loyalty, trust and confidence of many men, you are wealthy by every definition.

   There are laws you need to understand to excel in relationship

   1. You must understand the law of honor - Honor is the discerning, the rewarding and celebrating an individual for their distinctive value
   2. Learn the law of words Matthew 12:37
   3. The law of timing Proverbs 15:23, Ecclesiastes 3:1
   4. You must understand human nature(the nature of greed, selfishness, ego, the emotional inconsistencies in men)

      Create a system within your heart to not be surprised at the inconsistency of men.

5. The power of true humility

   James 4:9-10

   Pride is a reducer of honor and grace

   Proverbs 29:23, Isaiah 2:11 - 12

   Pride worsens every condition.

   Always acknowledge God as the basis of any result in your life.

   Celebrate success and achievement with boundaries.

   Listen to "Strategy for consistency," "The lifting power of humility"

   Philippians 2:9

6. Passionately seek the help of God(divine empowerment)

   2 Corinthians 3:5, Psalm 75:6-7, Psalms 18:29, Psalms 127:1-2

   There's nothing you do in your own strength that becomes marvelous, until it is the Lord's doing

   Psalm 118:23, Jeremiah 17:7-8

God helps men by His word.

God helps men by His spirit.

God helps men through men.

Philippians 1:7, 1 John 1:1
