Scripture: Ephesians 3:2-7; John 6:27; Romans 10:14-17;

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Let me start off with this scripture, Ephesians 3:2-7 and we will back track for understanding:

Ephesians 3:2-7: If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that BY REVELATION He made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, ACCORDING TO THE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD GIVEN UNTO ME BY THE EFFECTUAL WORKING OF HIS POWER.

Now we came to the conclusion that the Word of God is full of grace. We also concluded it is by the Word of God that grace is imparted to us and it is the subsistence needed for our existence. Now notice in this letter to the church at Ephesus. Paul asks them have they not heard of the dispensation of grace given to him to give to them. Now many people throw the word dispensation around but let’s keep it simple. Dispensing is simply pouring out of giving to. A pharmacist dispenses medicine. So let’s not make this bigger than what it is. Paul was sent to the church at Ephesus to dispense the grace of God to them. But how does he do this? In the same scripture he tells them by REVELATION of God made known to him whereby he will make the mystery known to them. Do we see this! It is by the Spirit of God imparting the Word of God to the spirit of man. Man then speaks the same word to the ears and spirits of others so that they may receive the same grace imparted to the original receiver. Now the key here is one in order to receive the grace, one must be in the position to receive and it comes from the mouth of God’s preacher! Now I know somebody’s head is spinning but God imparts the Word to man and man then imparts it to others. Watch this!

Romans 10:14-17: How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias said, Lord who hath believed our report? SO THEN, faith comes by HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.

Even to receive salvation, the Word of God must be brought to you and spoken by the mouth of the preacher whom is sent by God. So to build our faith we must hear the Word of God and receive grace to strengthen our faith. This is why Jesus can say these exact words.

John 6:27: Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

The meat or bread the Lord gives us that endures unto everlasting life is His Word full of grace. In this season we must know the God-sent preachers because they are carriers of the grace to the Body of Christ. We must hear the Word of the Lord to receive grace and most of all we must obey the Word of the Lord. When repentance is called for, repent so that your faith can be strengthened and your maturity can continue.

So if we are to obtain mercy then the first principal we must live by is the Divine Grace of God which is represented by the Golden Pot of Manna. Grace comes by the Word of God.

Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
