This sermon message was preached by Evangelist Ebenezer Udofia at Living Faith Apostolic Ministries. It has been adapted from the sermon portion of the video transcript into a detailed blog format for Bible study, Christian discipleship, local ministry outreach, and Google Ad Grants search visibility.
The declaration “I am what I am by the grace of God” is more than a phrase. It is a confession of dependence, gratitude, and faith. This sermon called the congregation to remember that everything we are, everything we can do, and everything we hope to become is made possible by the grace of God.
The message included a strong faith declaration: “I can do what God says I can do. I can be what God says I can be. I can have what God says I can have. Nothing shall stop me. In the name of Jesus, I shall prevail.” Then the declaration expanded from the individual to the church family: “We are what we are by the grace of God. We can do what God says we can do. We shall prevail.”
This is an important part of Christian identity. The believer does not stand in self confidence alone. We stand in the grace of God. We do not boast in our own strength. We give thanks for the mercy, life, sound mind, provision, calling, and spiritual blessings God has given through Jesus Christ.
Grace does not make believers passive. Grace empowers obedience. Grace teaches us to rise, serve, endure, and become what God has called us to be. The sermon reminded the church to pick up the sword, stand in faith, and keep moving forward. The Christian life includes thanksgiving, but it also includes spiritual responsibility.
In a week of thanksgiving, the prayer gave glory to God for the breath of life, for everything He has purchased for us, and for the ability to hear and understand His Word. This is a needed reminder in a culture that often measures identity by status, money, career, image, or human approval. The believer’s identity is rooted in God’s grace.
For people searching for Christian encouragement, thanksgiving sermons, Apostolic worship, or Bible teaching about grace, this message speaks directly to the heart. God’s grace does not erase our need to grow. It gives us the strength to grow. God’s grace does not deny the difficulty of life. It gives us power to prevail through difficulty.
At Living Faith Apostolic Ministries, we believe believers should speak faith according to the Word of God. We confess what God says, not what fear says. We believe that through Christ, the people of God can serve, pray, overcome, and fulfill kingdom purpose.
This message is also a reminder to encourage one another. The church is not only a collection of individuals. We are the family of God. We need personal faith, but we also need corporate faith. We need to declare, “I shall prevail,” and we need to declare, “We shall prevail.” When one member is weak, another can encourage. When one is tired, another can pray. When one is discouraged, another can speak life.
