Access to the endless possibilities contained in divine grace requires more than awareness, it demands activation through faith built on scriptural evidence, guest minister, Rev Elekima Ekine, declared at the Charis Nigeria Convention 2026 in Ibadan.
Ministering on Saturday, May 9, 2026, under the theme “Endless Possibilities by Grace,” Rev Ekine in his teaching titled “Accessing Endless Possibilities of Grace through Faith,” explained that grace has already made divine provisions available, but believers must engage faith to experience them in reality.
Rev Ekine, the resident Pastor of Christ Chapel International Churches, Ashi. Ibadan, anchored his message on Ephesians 1:7, Ephesians 2:7, and Romans 5:2, stressing that redemption, forgiveness, and inheritance in Christ are already secured through grace.
“By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,” he quoted from Romans 5:2.
He explained that grace represents God’s finished provision, while faith is the spiritual system of access that brings believers into experiential possession of what has already been made available.
According to him, nothing in the kingdom is accessed randomly, everything is accessed through divine order, and that order is faith grounded in evidence.
He further explained that grace is not only provision but also divine empowerment already released, while faith determines whether believers step into what has been made available.
The central thrust of his teaching focused on evidence as the foundation of faith and the bridge between promise and manifestation.
He stated that believers do not operate faith based on imagination or emotion, but on evidence derived from the Word of GOD.
“Faith is the evidence of things not seen,” he said, referencing Hebrews 11:1.
He explained that this evidence is not physical proof but revelation from scripture that confirms what GOD has already prepared and guaranteed.
He further declared that the Word of GOD is the believer’s legal and spiritual evidence for covenant realities.
“There is nothing we need in this life that is not covered by the Word of God,” he stated.
Referencing 2 Peter 1:3–4, he emphasised that divine power has already given believers all things pertaining to life and godliness through promises in scripture.

Using Numbers 13, he illustrated how Israel was instructed to spy the promised land, explaining that GOD sometimes provides evidence ahead of manifestation to strengthen conviction.
“They went to explore the land because God wanted them to have evidence,” he said.
He added that evidence does not cancel opposition, but sustains confidence despite contrary circumstances.
He further referenced Isaiah 51:1–2, describing Abraham as a living reference of covenant possibility and divine consistency.
From Romans 4:18, he highlighted Abraham’s response to divine instruction.
“Against hope, he believed in God,” he said.
He explained that when GOD gives evidence through His Word, it is an indication that the reality already exists in the spiritual realm and is ready for access.
“If He gives you evidence, it means He wants you to have the real thing,” he stated.
He then expanded the teaching to show that grace without access remains unexpressed, and access is only activated when faith engages divine evidence.
Rev Ekine outlined a clear spiritual process for accessing grace through faith: hearing, receiving evidence, believing, and speaking.
He referenced Romans 10:10, 17, stressing that faith is born through hearing the Word of GOD, and by confessing it.
“You cannot have faith for what you have not heard,” he said.
He cited Mark 5, noting that the woman with the issue of blood acted only after she heard about JESUS.
“When she heard, she acted,” he noted.
He explained that belief is not mental agreement but heart alignment with divine truth, referencing Romans 10:10.
“It is with the heart that one believes,” he said.
He further explained that true belief produces inward rest, joy, and confession, citing Hebrews 4 and 1 Peter 1:8–9.
“If there is no peace, check what you believe,” he warned.
He emphasised that confession is the final activation point of faith.
“If you believe, you will speak,” he declared.
Referencing Mark 5:28 and 2 Corinthians 4:13, he explained that spoken faith releases the realities already secured by grace.
He concluded that grace already contains endless possibilities, but faith anchored on evidence is what brings those possibilities into manifestation.
“To access the endless possibilities of grace, you must receive evidence from the Word, believe it in your heart, and speak it with your mouth,” he said.
“Faith activates what grace has provided through evidence in God’s Word.”
