The general overseer and founder of God’s Greater Grace General Assembly Intl Incorporated, Benin, Rev. Sunny Akenbor has attributed the continuous labour without a corresponding result in a believer’s life to an absence of grace.
He said this while speaking on the topic “Grace” at the church service in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
Taking his bible readings from the book of Zacharias 4:5-8, Daniel 1:20, Esther 2:7-17 and others, he emphasized the importance of grace in the life of a believer.
Rev. Akenbor said when grace is abound in the life of a Christian, things work seamlessly for him adding that, because of the grace of God upon the life of Daniel, he was found 10 times better than his equals.
“And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm”, Daniel 1:20.
Akenbor reiterated further that it was also grace that found Esther, that she was made queen and through her efforts, she was able to give respite to her people.
The clergyman maintained that without mercy, there cannot be favour, stressing that a believer requires God’s mercy to be able to attract and obtain His grace (favour).
He further urged the members of the congregation to hold unto God tenaciously in order to attract His grace, which is an unmerited favour from Him to His children.
