Grace to succeed in life

You can satisfy a heart that is seeking You. Yes, You can. And You are able! If someone believes that God is able this morning, let them proclaim it with all their might: Lord, You are able! Able to transform, to deliver, to move mountains, to open the heavens, to shift entire destinies. This grace is real, powerful, and accessible. But how many actually understand it?

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

So why do so many Christians limit this grace to salvation only? Why do so many settle for a misunderstood, unused, underused grace, when it is through it that God empowers us to succeed in life?

Listen to me: Everything you’re seeking in this life, everything you desire to see in your home, in your ministry, in your destiny—God has already provided it—but you must first understand grace and learn to connect to it.

Grace does not depend on God alone

Let me tell you a powerful biblical truth: God does not govern the earth. Yes, He is the Master of the heavens, but the earth, He has given to the sons of men.

“The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth He has given to the sons of men.” (Psalm 115:16)

This verse changes everything! It means that even though God wants to intervene, He needs man. And conversely, for man to act with power, he needs God. That’s why in Genesis 2:5, nothing was growing. Why? Because two things were missing: rain (grace) and a man to till the ground (responsibility). No rain, no fruit. No man, no manifestation.

Now do you understand why in every season of your life, you need the spiritual rain—grace—and you, the man or woman of God, must rise up to collaborate with it. Grace does not act on its own. It waits for a human response. It waits for a heart posture.

Two dimensions, two accesses

The grace of God always manifests in two dimensions: unmerited grace, and merited grace. Yes, merited, I said it! The first is free: salvation, forgiveness, justification in Jesus Christ.

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.” (Titus 2:11)

You did nothing to be saved. God loved you in your sin, He sent His Son. Period. That’s the free gift. But if you stop there, you will perish in your destiny. Because after salvation, God calls you to grow. And there begins the second dimension of grace: the one you seek, the one you pursue, the one you activate!

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God…” (2 Peter 1:2)

There it is! The more you know, the more grace increases. And that’s where everything changes.

“Good understanding yields favor.” (Proverbs 13:15)

So, if your life lacks grace, return to reflection, return to a wisdom founded on the Word. It’s your choice to grow in knowledge that determines the extent of the grace that accompanies you in your destiny. And if you refuse to grow? Don’t come blaming God for delaying your promotion.

Understand this: not all grace is free. There is some that you must go and fetch, and God will do nothing in your place. That’s why Jesus, in Luke 2:52, did not settle for having the favor of God. He also grew in grace before men! He sought human favor. You must seek it too.

You can’t cry out to God from Monday to Sunday, then disdain your fellow man, reject humanity, live in isolation and arrogance. Don’t say: “I only need God.” That’s not biblical. Even God in His wisdom wanted to have a tabernacle among men! You need people. They are the ones who will propel you. They are the ones who will open certain doors.

Heaven belongs to God, but the earth is your responsibility. God works through people. And now I hear this prompting:

Tell me, who are the people God wants to send you? Are you ready to recognize them? Are you ready to honor them?

How to connect to grace to succeed

1. It all starts with the heart. Your heart is the spiritual compass of your life.

   “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23)

   Whoever wants to connect to a grace must first align their heart. Where there is deceit, jealousy, bitterness—you are disqualified. You can come every Sunday, scream at the altar, even cry… If your heart is not right, you are closed off to grace.

   Let me tell you a serious thing: a spiritual environment like the church carries an atmosphere, an invisible protocol. If you enter without a righteous heart, you will be rejected—not by men—but by the spiritual system of the place. You can spend 10 years in a church without ever connecting to the grace that operates there—simply because your heart is elsewhere. You are there, but not connected.

2. You must know how to follow to connect. Many want the mantle without carrying the bag. They want the anointing without going through submission. Elisha received Elijah’s mantle, but not because Elijah laid hands on him. No! He followed him. He served him. And after a long journey of faithfulness, he connected to Elijah’s spirit. He never received an anointing directly, but the sons of the prophets said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.”

   Today, everyone wants to walk in a grace without walking in loyalty. You want the anointing, but you criticize the one who carries it? Never will you connect to what you despise!

3. You must learn to honor. Honor is a channel of transfer. The angel refused to bless Hagar until she had returned to honor Sarah. God does not intervene in disorder. Even Jesus, in Mark 6, could not perform any miracles where He was dishonored. Why? Because grace can only flow where the channels are honored. Isaac required a meal before blessing his sons. Why? Because a satisfied soul blesses with heart and power.

And I prophesy! This week, God will place a grace carrier on your path. Like Ananias for Paul. Like Joseph of Arimathea for Jesus. Unknown men can become the key to your destiny. You are not lacking prayer, you are lacking connections! You’ve been crying out to God for years, but you refuse to reach out to the men God is sending you. Your miracle is not far, but it comes through a human hand.

You want to succeed in life? Then open your eyes and your spiritual heart!

And I declare again: Even where you were rejected, you will be sought after. Where you were told no, God will touch hearts and you will receive a yes. Just because everyone fails there doesn’t mean you will fail too. No, you have found grace!

Like Mary. She asked the same question as Zechariah: “How shall this be?” but she received an answer. He was struck mute. Same words—but different grace. He was judged, she was rewarded. Why? Grace!

Oh may God grant you special favor before men!

Pray now that your life may connect to this grace. Say to God: Direct me, point me to the right people, reveal the right environments, align my heart, order my steps.

Let’s pray together

1. Lord Jesus, I want to connect to grace in my season. Give me a pure and sincere heart, ready to learn, ready to honor, ready to follow. I don’t want to resist Your will. I want to cooperate with it.

2. Lord, open my spiritual eyes. Show me the people, the doors, the opportunities You have placed in my path. I refuse to miss my season. I call upon my life that merited favor, the one that finds me ready, aligned, faithful, alert.

Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You. Forgive my sins and transform me. Today, I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your presence and lead me in Your will. Amen.
