In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning, the Holy Spirit lovingly reminded me of an unshakeable truth that nothing can separate us from His loyal, faithful, steadfast love. Romans.8:38 & 39. This covenant of God’s love towards us is a powerful spiritual weapon, given to us to extinguish every fiery dart of the enemy, especially the lies, the false accusations, and the many condemnations designed to undermine our identity and calling from the Lord.
Flowing from this truth of the Father’s divine love, the Holy Spirit emphasized the immeasurable value of the grace gifts He has placed within every believer. Each of us has received an individual grace expression from the Father which reveals an aspect of Christ that the Body of Christ is deprived of if that gift is neglected, belittled, or withheld by the individual possessing it.
This truth is revealed in 1 Peter 4:10–11 which declares that every believer has received a grace gift from the Lord and each of these gifts are to be used to serve one another. We are chosen to be stewards of the many-colored (multifaceted) grace of God towards mankind. With the speaking gifts, they are to be exercised as if God Himself were speaking, just as with the serving gifts they are to be exercised with the Lord’s strength with the ultimate purpose being that the Father alone is glorified through Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit made it clear that no grace gift is insignificant. What may appear small when evaluated through human comparison is profoundly valuable from God’s perspective because each gift reveals a unique dimension of Christ. Thus without its expression, the Body of Christ lacks something essential for its edification, maturity, and spiritual fullness.
This fact makes clear that we as believers in Jesus are therefore called to honor the grace gift the Lord has given them, then develop it through daily commitment to the Holy Spirit with the goal of releasing it faithfully, thus allowing others to experience Jesus through its operation. The Holy Spirit strongly warned against all forms of self-disqualification, shame, and comparisons with others, which causes believers to withhold what the Lord has intentionally invested in them because they view it as insignificant.
To illustrate this truth, the Holy Spirit highlighted Stephen and Philip from Acts 6 who though not originally numbered among the Apostles, were entrusted with greater responsibility during a moment of crisis because they had cultivated a deep personal fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Their faithfulness in what appeared to be a practical task of fair food distribution resulted in the end of divisive division and grumbling, thus promoting a greater manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s power which resulted in a new greater dimension of signs, wonders, and massive revival.
Stephen’s grace gift ultimately paved the way for the Apostle Paul to be birthed into the Kingdom, while Philip’s obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit brought the Kingdom of Jesus powerfully into Samaria, accompanied by great miracles. Their example reveals that the grace gift you carry may be the very trigger for the next outpouring of the Lord’s power and the long-awaited answers to prayer.
The Holy Spirit is calling upon you today to repent for ever belittling your grace gift from the Lord then receiving it again with thanksgiving by allowing the Holy Spirit to develop it fully within you so you can express it fully with confidence as you minister it in the power of the Holy Spirit for the establishment of the Kingdom.
Remember that each believer is declared precious by the Lord, and is entrusted with a divine investment from heaven which is meant to bear fruit in a specific, appointed sphere. So as you receive and embrace this word arise in confidence, reject all comparison, and abandon all shame, and disgrace as you walk boldly in the grace and power of the Holy Spirit to bring freedom, help, and transformation to many in need of the salvation Jesus ordained for mankind in Jesus name. Amen.
In the mighty name of Jesus, I declare over you that nothing shall separate you from the loyal, faithful, unbreakable love of the Lord. Every lie, accusation, and fiery dart of the enemy is extinguished by the truth of His covenant of love over your life.
Today, I decree that your eyes are opened to see the full value of the grace gift God has placed within you. So that what you once overlooked, minimized, or dismissed as insignificant is now being awakened, strengthened, and activated by the Holy Spirit in your life.
I declare that you will no longer stand in the shadows of comparison or shame but you will arise boldly in the might of the grace Jesus has given to you. The gift of grace within you shall come forth with clarity, power, and divine effectiveness by bringing freedom to many lost souls and glory to Jesus’s name.
Your obedience will unlock new manifestations of the Kingdom and your faithfulness will trigger divine solutions, healings, deliverance, and revival. What has been dormant in your life is now being stirred, and what has been hidden is now revealed. I declare that you will bear precious and lasting fruit, and the many-colored grace of the Lord will flow through your life for the building up of His people.
So go forth strengthened, equipped, and anointed by the Holy Spirit as a faithful steward with a banner of light, as a vessel of grace, an emblem of praise and a living expression of Jesus Christ for men to see in Jesus name. Amen.
