PREFACE SUMMARY

Beloved, in the biblical passage of (1 Kings 18:45) listed in our scriptural references, the sea is used as a metaphor for the world, while the small cloud, no bigger than a man's hand, represents Elijah as the hand of God in a heathen world.

The bottom line is that Elijah's presence, represented by the little cloud about the size of a man’s hand, can be used by God to bring change to the world and act as a catalyst or vessel of change for God's purpose.

As the small cloud grows, it gradually transforms into a black cloud, which symbolizes the power of God's grace working through people who acknowledge and understand the purpose of God in their lives. These people become agents of change, recognizing the purpose driving the vision they feel is always out of reach and closer to reality.

When we recognize God's purpose in our lives and act accordingly, we can harness the power of grace and become instruments of change in the world. Doing so can help bring about a better future and create a world more aligned with God's will.

Through this message, we are going to explore the five graces of God and how they come into alignment to help us fulfill God's plan and purpose for our lives which like the wind in the scriptural references, the purpose for which we were created for, will help drive our vision to be all we can be to complete our assignment.

"THE FIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE."

Dear readers, when I think of the five characteristics of grace, I cannot help but think about the importance of the five-fold ministry which consists of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.

Beloved, the phrase "The Five Characteristics of Grace" is an expression that is used to describe a specific set of attributes or qualities that are commonly associated with the concept of grace. These five characteristics are Gentleness, Respect, Action, Compassion, and Energy.

Each characteristic has a unique meaning that provides a deeper understanding of what it means to embody grace in our actions and interactions with others. These five characteristics offer a comprehensive framework for understanding the concept of grace and how it can be manifested in our daily interactions with others.

1. Gentleness - The first characteristic of Grace is gentleness, which involves showing kindness, generosity, and compassion towards others, even in challenging situations. It is considered one of the fruits of the Spirit and is often described as the cornerstone of grace. Gentleness is the foundation upon which all other characteristics are built.

2. Respect - The second important characteristic of Grace is Respect. When we respect ourselves, we can see the goodness in others. This helps us to not only respect the feelings of others but also to forgive even when we are not forgiven.

Beloved, forgiveness means letting go of any resentment and anger towards others. It involves moving past hurtful actions and words and showing compassion and understanding to those who have wronged us. Respect is a powerful act of grace that can bring healing to both the forgiver and the forgiven.

3. Action - The third essential characteristic of Grace is Action. We should strive to possess this characteristic, which, when described, would be putting our words into action. When we say we will do something, we must follow through and act to make it happen. Mere words or plans are not enough; we must put in the necessary effort to achieve our goals and make a difference in our lives and the lives of others.
