WHAT IS SPIRIT-LED ACCELERATION?

Spirit-Led Acceleration is when God, by His Spirit, moves a person, purpose, or outcome faster than natural processes, without striving, confusion, or disorder—to fulfill divine purpose.

It is not haste.
It is not pressure.
It is God’s timing expressed with speed.

God’s power to advance us or accelerate us comes first by the revelation of the Word.

·       We must be instructed by the Word of God on what to do or be inspired by His Spirit

·       We must obey and act on the Word

·       We enjoy the benefits of the acceleration

·       We must understand that the acceleration will outlive us.

Christmas Day Sermon: The Grace Called Jesus

Text: John 1:14–17
Supporting Scriptures: Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 9:6, Luke 2:10–21, Titus 2:11–14, Revelation 21:3–5

THIS THING CALLED GRACE Part 3

An escalator is a moving staircase—steps keep circulating, and it carries you

upward.

An elevator is a lift—once you step in, it raises you to levels you couldn’t reach on

your own.

What Is Grace, Really?

We talk about grace a lot, but what is this thing called grace?

Grace captures the goodwill, lovingkindness, and favour of God freely given to us so that we may partake in His divine life.

Grace is God’s divine aid that supernaturally empowers you to be who He made you to be.

You Are Chosen In Love

Devotional Reflection:

Did you notice the word "constantly" in today’s scripture? What does that even mean? It means there was never a time, there is no time, and there will never be a time when Jesus is not loving you. He constantly loves you, regardless of the circumstances. His love doesn’t fluctuate based on your behaviour—it’s constant, even when you make mistakes.

But that’s not all. He didn’t just stop at loving you—He also loosened you from your sins. In the same breath of love, your sins are cancelled. His love for you drove Him to the cross, where He sacrificed Himself to forgive you. The love of Christ and the forgiveness of sins are inseparable. They are two sides of the same coin.

Loved before time began

In John 17:24–26, we get a glimpse of something deeply personal: Jesus praying not only for His disciples, but for all who would one day believe in Him, including us. Right before the cross, when he could have been focused on His own suffering, He turned His eyes to the Father and prayed for our future.  “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory.” That is His heart’s desire. That we would one day stand in His presence, face to face, seeing His glory with our own eyes. This isn’t just about someday in heaven; it’s about knowing that even now we are being drawn into a love so deep and eternal that it started before the world began.

Jesus reminds us that the Father loved Him before creation, and that same love is being poured into us. Think about how steady that love is, before time, before our mistakes, before our doubts, God’s love was already flowing, and Jesus came so that we could experience it. He doesn’t want us to just know facts about God; He wants us to feel the reality of His love living inside us, shaping us, and giving us strength when life feels heavy. This means that no matter what we’re facing—loneliness, fear, rejection, confusion—we are never actually abandoned. We are wrapped up in a love that has no end, and Jesus Himself is living within us.

15 lessons from these stories of abundance are:

·         Abundance flows from covenant identity—know who God calls you (Gen 17:5; Heb 7:22) and live from it, not toward it.

·         Speak the language of abundance: declare God’s word before you see results (Gen 22:5,8 → vv.13–19).

·         Obedience positions you for provision—God’s supply is often “there,” at the place He sends you (1 Kgs 17:3–4,9).

·         God’s channels may be unexpected (ravens, a ram, a boy’s lunch, a coin in a fish)—don’t limit the how (Gen 22; 1 Kgs 17; Jn 6; Mt 17).

·         Put God first with what you have; generosity unlocks flow (the widow gives first and lack is broken—1 Kgs 17:13–16).

·         Follow specific instructions precisely; details matter in miracles (sit the crowd, cast the hook, gather leftovers—Jn 6:10–13; Mt 17:27).

·         Faith acts under pressure—move despite fear; trust turns tests into testimonies (Gen 22:1–12; 1 Kgs 17:13).

·         Steward the surplus—God multiplies, and we must not waste the increase (Jn 6:12–13).

·         Miraculous provision serves God’s purposes and witness, not mere convenience (Jn 6:14; Mt 17:27).

·         Create an atmosphere of abundance daily—align your words and worship with God’s promises and walk them out.

·         There is no situation so hopeless for God to intervene

·         God’s blessings do come from uncommon sources

·         Changing perspective and blessing what we have activates abundance in a place of lack

·         God often use our mouth as instruments to bless us

·         Don’t carry a sense of a limited or known income level. Don’t operate from a set limit

·         Obedience is key to enjoy what God has prepared for us.

God is your ultimate source

So these are 15 lessons from these stories of abundance are:

·        Abundance flows from covenant identity—know whoGod calls you (Gen 17:5; Heb 7:22) and live from it, not toward it.

·        Speak the language of abundance: declare God’sword before you see results (Gen 22:5,8 → vv.13–19).

The language of abundance transcends mere words; it encapsulates the beliefs and intentions that underlie those words. It’s about aligning your thoughts and expressions with the financial reality you aspire to manifest.

Unveiling the Subtle Forces of Language

Language is more than a mere tool for communication; it’s a powerful instrument for turning dreams into reality. The words you choose can either magnetize abundance toward you or repel it.

Your Miracle Is In Your Mouth - 12 Oct. 2025

When God’s blessings are evident in your life, they look like:

Like the psalmist prayed:

“Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us; and establish the work of our hands upon us.” (Ps. 90:17)

We pray:

The beauty and glory of the Lord is on me and in me. He has established the work of my hand.

When God’s blessing rests on your hands, ordinary work produces extraordinary results.

Conclusion

The Word of God sets a divine flow for life:

What you hear enters your heart.

What you see becomes your vision.

What your heart holds shapes your mouth.

What your mouth speaks directs your steps.

Where your feet walk leads to what your hands will prosper in.

Psalm 1 reminds us: the blessed man chooses his ears, eyes, heart, mouth, and steps carefully—and

the result is a life that flourishes like a well-watered tree.

This is the flow of a blessed life.

The question: How do I take advantage of what is mine?

 First by recognising that the blessings of God is not something you inherit by virtue of any

meritorious act on your part. It is a gift from God the moment you become born again.

 Second, know that though it is your inheritance, walking in it requires your co-operation. It is

not everything that God desires that He gets. For example: God’s desire is that all be saved (

1 Tim 2:4) but not all are saved. Why? Because of the response to the grace freely given by

God. God’s grace makes all things available but our response is crucial on how we enjoy

what God has freely given

 Third, God functions by principles – and these principles, known, learnt and applied are what

makes one person enjoys God and the other may not. God is constant in both situations but

the response from each individual to his grace is crucial.

Take Heed How You Hear

Jesus warned: “Take heed how you hear” (Luke 8:18). The “how” speaks of the lens—the paradigm—through which a person hears. This paradigm determines what meaning you draw out of God’s Word and even life’s situations.

How Paradigms Are Formed

No one is born with a fully developed belief system. Our paradigms are shaped over time by:

• Life experiences (pleasant or painful),

• The words and actions of authority figures (parents, teachers, pastors),

• Our interpretation of lived events (what we think those events “mean”),

• Personal choices and the need to protect ourselves from harm.

The mind, seeking safety, often chooses the path of least resistance. When repeated, that choice forms a belief. Over time, every decision made in line with that belief strengthens it—until the belief itself becomes a prison.

Now notice verse 25 of Mark 4 and verse 18 of Luke 8 aresaying exactly the same thing which is: the inclination of your heart is whatdetermines the extent to which the word of God is revealed to you.

This means there is a responsibility on my part to inclinemy heart to what the word of God says. This means the attitude I have towardsthe word of God makes it reveal itself more to me.

If I approach the word of God like we approach the word of adoctor when we are sick or that of a lawyer when we have an impending case incourt, the word of God will open up to us.

What attitude should that be? The attitude that says theWord of God is the final authority or north star in my life.

A rebellious attitude to life never produces a winningoutcome in life.

Introduction

1. If the devil was truly defeated at Calvary, why does it sometimes seem like he still has power?
2. Many believers wrestle with this question when they see evil prevailing or experience struggles.
3. The truth is: Satan has no true authority today—only what people yield to him through deception.
4. Tonight, let’s look at where his so-called power comes from, what Christ did at Calvary, and how we must enforce our authority in Christ.

Maxim to remember: Authority not enforced, is authority wasted.”
