Dgcsom Cohort Iii Graduation And Impartation Service by Pastor Lawrence Oyor: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Keep Refreshing on Grace

Grace can be refreshed, and it should be refreshed consistently. What can happen once a year can also happen once a month, and what can happen once a month can happen once a week. No year should pass without a consistent refreshing. Let hands be laid on you consistently, and receive grace intelligently: you should know what you are receiving.

You Cannot Get Serious Results Without Grace

People are in sizes, and graces are in measures. We are not all the same when it comes to grace. One person may want to put up a building costing ten million and save toward it for two years; another announces a two-hundred-billion project once and closes the account two days later because everything has come in. That difference is not a coincidence. As a minister of the gospel, you cannot get any serious results without grace. There are results that look similar to what others produce, but when your results make it seem as though everyone else was not even on the track running, that difference is grace. Without grace, ministry is frustration.

If you ever want to understand the grace working in a house or in a person, look at the results.

Once I began to understand this, I began to honour those who carry grace, even when it does not look like much. Grace can also be imparted. Acts 3:6 Peter said, "Such as I have." Romans 1:11 Paul longed to come to the believers so that he might impart to them. Once grace is imparted, you begin to see the results. It is a shift.

Graces to Expect and Receive

As utterances are released and hands are laid, these are graces to receive:

• Healing and deliverance. Grace to set the captives free, so that no devil that comes into contact with you escapes.
• Visibility.
• The gift of men. Helpers of destiny, so that you can never be stranded and no one can say that if they leave, you will fall. Better people arrive within twenty-four hours. This is the grace of the conveyor: an anointing to plan, to program, and to gather people. No so-called gatekeeper can keep the gate shut against it.
• Favour. Favour will get you what millions cannot. Sometimes money is not the problem; you cannot even get through the door to spend it. Favour opens the door. Do not hate it. Want it, love it, recognise it, and celebrate those who have it.
• Speed. Intelligent speed, not rushing in the wrong direction toward your own downfall. God can make things happen fast.
• Wisdom. Wisdom's foil is knowledge, so you must feed it. Read widely, not only the Bible: read on medicine, on construction, on everything, so that you can speak to everyone. Paul was a well-read scholar who understood far beyond the mere letters of Scripture. Do not simply receive grace and say, "I am wise." Start gathering knowledge.
• Prayer. Prayer fire, and grace to stir people up.

Be conscious of whatever you carry from now on. It is not pride. Peter said, "Such as I have," because he had it and could give it.

Impartation

Acts 19:11 Special miracles were wrought by the hands of the Apostle Paul. A grace for special and creative miracles is coming very heavily on someone now.

Isaiah 6:8 The Lord still asks, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" On earth we celebrate the birth of a child, but in heaven they celebrate the release of purpose. Many desire this kind of life yet do not understand its cost, fascinated with the glory while forgetting the sacrifice of the belly laid down in fasting and prayer. Heaven rejoices over the ones who answer, "Here we are, send us."

Ministry Comes With Its Challenges

Sometimes ministry comes with challenges. In this season our family faced a severe attack on my wife's health; I came from the hospital to minister at the miracle service and returned to the hospital afterward, and we simply kept praying until, by Monday morning, whatever it was drained out and was completely resolved. The enemy will come for a minister's wife or children; it is a normal attack, but he will always fail, because we are not alone. Never see your ministers as superhuman. If Paul could ask the churches to pray for him, then please continue to pray for us.

A Blessing Over You
