FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
The theme of this year conference is “The Riches of His Grace (Ephesians 1:7).” Grace is
God’s commitment to man and God is expecting the same commitment immediately we give our
lives to Christ. According to Ephesians 1:7 which is our text, our redemption is through His grace
and that involve three (3) things:
•
•
•
Paying the ransom of our life with the blood of Christ. I Cor.6:20, Rev.5:9
Release from the curse of the law. Gal.3:13, 4:5
And deliverance from the bondage of sin into the freedom of His grace. I Pet.1:18
His riches are clearly shown in the Scripture that believers never labour or work for anything
pertaining to salvation, sanctification, redemption and godliness. It is imputed on us by what
Christ did on the cross on our behalf.
The Scripture only commands us to walk according to our calling. Titus says “For the grace of
God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present age.” In this kind of
conference, as someone who has received the grace of God, who lives to reveal Christ by
shunning all appearances of evil will comply with all the instructions given to him. At end of the
conference, we will all have reasons to give praise and thanks to God and will be among those
that will spread the grace of God.
Happy conference!
Your Brother-in-Christ and His Servant

And behold my Saviour there, leading in the light,
With a tender hand outstretched towards the valley low,

If we do our part
There’s nought in this wide world,
Can pleasure afford
There’s peace and contentment,
In serving the Lord.

I will serve Him more truly than ever before
I will do as He bid me
Whatever the cost
I will be a true soldier;

MISSION CONFERENCE 2014
BIBLE STUDY I
THEME: THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE
TEXT: Ephesians 1:7; 2:7
TOPIC: THE GRACE
Daniel, the Prophet of God has for long time prophesied that at the end of time “knowledge shall
be increased”. This prophecy is being fulfilled in all areas of life today. However, the most
disappointing thing is that, the knowledge of the truth is at the bottom of this new body of
knowledge. The Christian world today is occupied with different kinds of theological knowledge
instead of the real knowledge of God’s word. As a result of this (increase in theological
knowledge), many terrible things had happened to the word, grace, life under the grace, the
teaching of grace and the application of grace. So, we have come together to discuss grace and to
correct the abuse of it, which is rampant in Christendom today.
(a) What is Grace? “God’s riches at Christ’s expense”
1. From God’s viewpoint
Grace
Those things which God does for humanity through His son, which we cannot earn, do
not deserve and will never merit. It is God’s unmerited favour in spite of what is often the
rebellious response of humanity.
Grace perfects forever, the saved one in the sight of God because of the saved one’s
position “in Christ”.
2. From man’s view point
Totally undeserved favour. (Eph. 2:4-5). Grace thus rules out all human merit. It
requires only faith in the Saviour.
(b) Salvation is by Grace. Rom 3:24; 5:15, Titus 2:11;3:7, II Thess. 2:16.
We need to understand that when God gave His Son Jesus as a sacrifice, the bill for our
sin was paid. For us to try to pay for God’s gift is insulting to Him. Genuine trust is to
believe that God has already taken care of the payment. We don’t need to pay for what has
already been purchased with Jesus’ death on the cross. Grace rules out all human merit.
(c) Grace: It came by Christ. John 1:17, Rom.5:15, ICor.1:4, II Tim.1:9
The grace of God was supremely revealed and given in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Jesus was not only the beneficiary of God’s grace (Luke 2:40), but He was also its very
embodiment (John 1:14), bring it to mankind for salvation.
www.faithrebuilder.org
10
(d) Grace: It reigns over sin Roman 5:20-21
The law with its many statutes entered to condemn the sinner and to make man know in
detail what sin was. It was added until the seed should come (Gal. 2:19-25). Those who
accepted Christ received free pardon of all offences and grace abounds and reigns in their
lives (I John 1:9, Revelation 1:5). If one’s sin was too great and heinous for grace to
pardon, then grace would cease to reign in righteousness and sin would be more powerful
than Jesus Christ and His power.
(e) The Effect of Grace. IICor.1:12, Titus 2:11-12
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
The testimony of our conscience. Acts.24:16. ITim.1:19, IPet.3:19
The simplicity and godly sincerity. IICor.11:3
The conversation in the world
More abundantly to you wards (the saints) all made possible by the effect of Grace
Denying of ungodliness and
Worldly lusts.
But to:
Live soberly,
Righteously,
And godly,
In this present world.
vii.
viii.
ix.
x.
(f) The danger of abuse of the grace Romans 6:1-2,14:15, Jude verse 4
(g) Grace: Departing from it. Gal.5:4
Means:
• Trusting in work for justification
• Failing to be established in grace
• Waiting to be guarded by litigation
(h) Grace: Exhortation concern it
•
•
•
•
•
Not to receive the grace in vain. IICor.6:1
Beware lest you fail of the grace. Heb.12:15,28
Should grow in grace. II Peter 3:18
Should be strong in grace. IITim.2:1
Should be established in the grace. Heb.13:9
CONCLUSION: As a principle, grace is set in contrast with law (Rom.11:6). Under the law, God
demands righteousness from men; but under grace, He gives righteousness to men (Rom.3:1224; 8:3-4, Gal.1:17, Phil.3:9). Law is connected with Moses and works; grace with Christ and
faith (John 1:17, Rom.4:3-5, Eph.2:8). Under law, blessings accompany obedience (Deut.28:1-6),
grace bestows blessings as a free gift. (Rom.4:3-5, Eph.2:8).

BIBLE STUDY II
THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE
Eph.1:7; 2:7
INTRODUCTION: There has not been any generation in the history of mankind that has dug
or mined the riches of grace either by doctrine or application to the fullest. Those who tried it in
theology failed in practice thereby could not enjoy the blessing therein. In the bible study II and
III, we will do the digging, mining and brushing of the riches of the Grace.
(a)The Redemption: The law of kinsman. Lev.25:47-50
1. The meaning: “to deliver by paying a price”
Redemption is set forth in three principal Greek words;
• Agarazo: “to buy in the market”
Man is viewed as a slave “sold under sin” (Rom.7:14) and under sentence of
death (John 3:18-19, Rom.6:23), but subject to redemption by the price of the
blood. ICor.6:20;7:23, II Peter 2:1, Rev.5:9
• Exagorazo: “To buy out of the market”
To purchase and remove from further sale. Gal.3:13, 4:5, Eph.5:16, Col.4:5
• Lutroo: “to loose or set free”.
To loyally obey the one that redeems.Luke 24:21, Titus 2:14, I Peter 1:18
2. Is by Christ and his blood. Gal.1:4; 3:4, Eph.1:2, Titus 2:14, I Peter 1:18
3. Is from:
The bondage of the law. Gal.4:5
The curse of the law. Gal.3:13
The power of sin. Romans 6:18,22
Iniquity and lawlessness. Titus 2:14
The present evil age. Gal.1:4
(b)
Adoption – The right of sonship – placing as a son
• The right
• Adoption
• Sonship
1. The right. Greek Exousia- power, authority
• Freedom to act
• Authority for the action
• Entitlement
• Ownership
2. Adoption – placing as a son
• To take a child into one’s family legally
www.faithrebuilder.org
12
The act of God by which He restores the believing believers to their
privileges as members of the divine family and makes them heirs of
heaven.
• Adoption is a word of position rather than relationship. The believers
relation to God as a child results from the new birth (John 1:12-13)
whereas adoption is the divine act whereby one who is already a child is
placed in the position of an adult son. Gal.4:1-5
3. Sonship Gal.4:7.6
“Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of
God through Christ and because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of
his son into your hearts, crying, Abba fathers”
(c) Forgiveness of our sins. Acts.13:38, Eph.1:7
• The meaning the Greek word “Aphiemi” translated forgive, forgave and
forgiveness means “to send forth”, “semd away” “to remit” Mathew 26:28,
Heb.10:18.
• To a believer
The great foundational truth about the believer in relationship to his sins is the fact
that his salvation comprehend the forgiveness of ALL his trespasses; past, present,
and future so far as condemnation is concerned (Romans 8:1, Col.2:13, John 3:18;5:4).
• Because of Christ sacrifice
Since Christ has vicariously borne ALL sins, the believer’s stand in Christ is complete.
He is perfected forever in Christ. When a believer sins, he is subject to chastisement
from the Father but never to condemnation with the world. ICor.11:31-32.

BIBLE STUDY III
THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE
TEXT: Eph.1: 2:7
Paul, an apostle, the preacher and advocate of grace, exhorted Timothy his son to “be strong in
the grace that is in Christ Jesus”. To be strong in the grace means to have ability to comprehend
grace and to apply it without abusing it, irrespective of all weaknesses and temptations. In this
bible study III we want to continue to dig the riches of His Grace.
(a)Access to God. Greek Prosagoge
Means “bringing into the presence of”
It is used three times
Romans 5:2 – of the access which we have by faith through our Lord Jesus Christ,
i.
INTO GRACE
• What was unthinkable to the Old Testament Jew (Exo.10:9, 20, 21, 28:35) is
now available to all who come through Christ. The whole Christian life is the
result of God’s grace in which we stand.
Eph. 2:18- of our access in one spirit, through Christ. UNTO THE FATHER
ii.
• No sinner has any right or worthiness in himself for access to God, but
believers have been granted that right through faith in Christ’s sacrificial
death. (Eph.3:12). The resources of the Godhead belong to believers the
moment they receive Christ, and the Holy Spirit presents them before the
heavenly throne of God the Father, where they are welcome to come with
boldness at any time. Heb.4:19, Gal.4:6-7, Rom.8:15-17.
iii.
Eph. 3:12- of the same access, the saints said to be “IN CHRIST”. Hebrews 4:1516.
• Every person who comes to Christ in faith can come before God at any time,
not in self-confidence but in Christ-confidence. Most ancient rulers were
unapproachable by anyone except their highest advisers (Esther 4:11). In
contrast, the Holy Spirit calls all to come confidently before God’s throne to
receive mercy and grace through Jesus Christ.
(b) Justification- to declare righteous
The meaning: Justification is a divine act whereby an infinite Holy God judicially
declared a believing sinner to be righteous and acceptable before Him because Christ
had borne the sinner’s sin on the cross and has become “to us … righteousness I
Cor.1:30, Romans 3:24”.
The means:
By the blood of Christ. Romans 5:9
By imputation of Christ’s righteousness. Romans 3:22
By the resurrection of Christ. Romans 4:25, ICor.15:17
www.faithrebuilder.org
14
It is of the grace. Romans 3:24;4:16;5:17-27
The requirement:
The acceptance of Christ by faith. Romans 5:16
The blessedness. Psalm 32:1, 2, Romans 4:6-8
Free from condemnation. Romans 8:33,34
Entitle to an inheritance. Titus 3:7
Ensures glorification. Romans 8:30
That God justifies the believing sinner on the ground of Christ’s death, involves His free
gift of life.
(C) The Sealing of the Holy Spirit
i.
ii.
Its an operation of God which demonstrates that the believer belongs to Him
The Holy Spirit is Himself the seal (Eph.1:13)
The earnest of the believer’s inheritance (Eph.1:14)
This seal symbolizes
A finished transaction. Jeremiah 32:9-10
Ownership. Jeremiah 32:11-12, II Tim.2:19
Security (Eph.4:30, Esther 8:8, Daniel 6:16-17).
CONCLUSION: The time would fail me to tell of, peace, hope of glory, accepted in the beloved,
obtained inheritance, faith, seated in the heavens, salvation, election, consolation and the call of
God which all pertains to (depend on) GRACE.

SEMINAR FOR THE YOUTH
IMPORTANCE OF LORDSHIP IN RELATION TO CHRISTIAN LIFE
Meaning: The word Lord has various usages
1. It could mean someone you give number one place to in your life. i.e. someone you
consider first before others or thing
2. It means someone who has the right of ownership over something
3. Its means someone who have power or authority over something. Eph.5:22
4. The purchaser, buyer or redeemer or deliverer of something for his own use
NOTE: Jesus did not make Himself Lord, but God declared Him Lord after resurrection.
Phili.2:9-11, Acts.2:36-37. In light of this, we want to look at Lordship of Jesus Christ in relation
to some things in the bible.
(a)IN RELATION TO SALVATION (Acts.16:29-31)
No one can say that he has been saved unless he has received Jesus as Lord into his life
(Rom.10:9). Acts.9:3-19) used the word ten (10) times.
NOTE: The only thing Jesus is asking from anybody alive is salvation before submission of
his/her WILL so that He will become Lord of his/her life.
(b)
IN RELATION TO HIS WORD John 7:16-17, Mathew 7:21 “Not everyone
who says to me Lord Lord.” You can not do the will of God unless you know the word of
God.
Reason Paul exhort us Col.3:16, Acts.17:11, Psalm 119:9-11, 97:140, 130.
Consider Jesus teaching according to this bible verse ITim.6:3-10.
(c) IN RELATION TO LORD IN PRAYER (Mathew 6:9-13)
Note that prayer begins with our Father not my father. It means am not alone, I must
recognize others. Jesus did not pray that His name would be hallowed, but that the
Father’s name would be hallowed. Acknowledging His Lordship means surrendering your
name. Ask yourself, are you not interested in making a name for yourself? Want to be
recognized by people? Your life, goals, self and service all should be surrendered to Him
as your Lord.
Thy kingdom come
www.faithrebuilder.org
22
God‘s desire is to rule here on Earth as it is in heaven. He is in the process of building His
kingdom. Are you part of the people who is building His kingdom?
This can only happen when you get yourself involved in Evangelism, Mission and
Discipleship.
Thy will be done – think of what Jesus said in John 6:30. You can not pray, “thy will be
done” unless you are actively involved in finding the will of God for your life and doing it.
Give us this day our daily bread
We can truly pray this prayer only if our attitude is “All I have come from and belongs to
Jesus”. How do you see what you possess?
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Jesus is telling us to pray “Lord I want
you to forgive me in just the same way that I forgave. Lordship leads to a mutual
commitment involving not only receiving but giving also. Grace is God’s willingness to
commit Himself totally to us. Lordship is our willingness to commit ourselves totally to
God. Everybody wants God to commit Himself totally to him/her, but few are willing to
commit themselves totally to God.
And lead us not into temptation
Here Jesus is praying that the father should not lead us into situation where we can be
tempted. Jesus did not say, “lead us not into sin” He said, lead us not into temptation. To
pray this prayer means that I am willing to surrender all questionable things, am not only
willing to surrender those things that are sinful but am also willing to surrender the areas
of my life that tend to lead me into temptation.
Deliver us from the evil one
This is the same prayer that the Lord Jesus offered for His disciples in the night of His
betrayal (John 17:15). Lordship involves the recognition that there is no way we can fight
our own battles, Christ, and He alone, must keep us and deliver us from the evil one. No
one in his own strength can fight the battle with the enemy and win. Even Jesus Christ
defeated Satan only at the price of the cross. Exhortation of James 4:7.
LORDSHIP IN RELATIONS TO OUR DAILY LIVING (Col.2:6)
Col.2:6 is talking about the believers daily conduct. To walk in Christ is to live a life
patterned after His. Col. 1:10, 4:5, Rom.6:4, 8:1,4, 13:13, Phil.3:16-18, I Thess.2:12,4:1.
RELATION TO OUR POSSESSION AND MONEY (ICor.4:1-2)
www.faithrebuilder.org
23
It is clearly shown that every Christian is a servant and steward of the grace, gifts or
anything they possessed. Let us consider who a servant and steward is.
SERVANTHOOD LIFE (Acts.2:36-37, Luke 17:7-10)
If Jesus Christ is the Lord in our lives as Christians, we must understand that we need to
live a servanthood life.
a. Who is a servant?
•
A servant is someone that serves the interest of others (e.g. his master)
•
Someone responsible to carry out the instructions of others (e.g his master)
REASONS
He is a waiter- A waiter is someone:
That has a keen purpose of receiving from his master before taking any step.
How to receive from our master:
•
•
By following the word of God
By seeking His face in prayers.
NOTE: Every major decisions in Christ’s life were taken in prayers to His heavenly
Father Luke 6:12, 5:16-17, 9:8, 11:1
OBEDIENCE
He must be obedient to every instruction he received. Eph.6:5
•
•
•
•
With faithfulness. Col.3:22
Respect to his master. I Tim.6:1
Desire to please him. Titus 2:9
Patient in difficult time. I Peter 2:18
NOTE: The appetite and innate desires in Christians are not always wrong, but
is even God-created. When we come to Christ, we want to rule and reign, just as
we preach and pray. There is nothing bad in ruling and reigning in as much as
we are willing to fulfill it in scriptural way. Jesus said, the key to being first is
becoming the last. The key to living is dying. The key to being free is being
Christ’s slave. The key to receiving is giving. The key to being a leader is being a
servant. The key to being exalted is to live a life characterized by humility.
CONCLUSION: If we do not prepare to serve, we cannot become anything in the kingdom of
God.

CHILDREN BIBLE STUDY I
THEME: THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE
TOPIC: GRACE
MEMORY VERSE: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according
to the riches of his grace.” Eph.1:7.
INTRODUCTION: In the time of Esther when they gathered beautiful virgins for the king to replace
queen Vashti. Esther among the virgins won the favour of every one that saw her. The king was attracted
to Esther more than to any of the other women and she won his favour and approval more than any of the
virgins Esther 2:15-17.
Content
What is Grace?
Grace is God’s free kindness that is shown to people. We are saved by God’s grace. It is God’s unmerited
favour inspite of our rebellious response.
Grace is undeserved favour of God Eph.2:4-5.
1. Salvation by grace. Rom.3:24, Titus 2:11, 3:7
2. Grace it reigns over sin. Rom.5:20-21
3. Grace is the kindness and love of God which our Saviour gives freely to man not by works of
righteousness which we have done.
4. Justification by grace.
5. We are being justified by His grace. Titus 34, 7.
Therefore grace is set in contrast with law (Rom. 4:6). Under law God demands righteousness from man
but under grace He gives righteousness to man Rom.3:21-24, 83-4 Gal.2:16, Philp.3:9.
Law is connected with Moses and grace with Christ and Faith.
Under law, blessings accompany obedience (Deut.28:1-5), grace bestows blessing as a free gift Roman
4:3-5.
CONCLUSION: We are saved by grace not by workss lest no man should boast. Have you received the
grace of God if not, you can do so now by accepting Jesus as Lord.
