Maximize The Grace and Manifest the results of your salvation.

For the grace of God has been revealed,…

‭‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬a NLT‬‬

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Maximize the grace and manifest the results of your salvation

God is consistently working in you, from the day you first believed until now, God is working within you, giving you the desire and ability to do that which pleases him( Phil 2:13). This work will not stop and will continue until the day of Christ’s return. He uses many different things, and ways to bring you to maturity, to cause you to understand why he possessed you, the reason for your calling. 

Grace has been poured out abundantly through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to you, aiding you unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. There is no small Holy Spirit, given to small people, there is no big Holy Spirit given to big people, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. This grace teaches you, empowers you and releases you for every good work. What separates those who remain in the same level of their faith and those who progress to spiritual maturity, is each and every person’s ability to maximize the grace, as God pours daily. This is even why Jesus would say "when you pray. ask that God gives you this day, daily bread" (Matt 6:11) and as he gives, you must maximize the opportunity and eat.

Many see grace as a license to sin, which hinders their progress. If you only see this grace as a means to keep on sinning and abusing the mercy of God, you are only utilizing the grace partially. Asking for Gods mercy is good, as it has also been poured out freely to us, for in this life we will fall short, but grace also teaches you to not look back, it empowers you for complete victory, to say no to ungodliness.

There are treasures waiting for you, beyond being held captive by the deceitfulness of sin, the bible says What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him ( 1 Corinth 2:9). There is more.

On the other hand others limit the grace to the level of their experience, or the level of their human understanding, this also hinders your progress. Let God speak for himself, by submitting your experience to the truth of Gods word, let God shape your experience and you'll begin to see the power of God. 

I wonder what would your life look like if you made it your life’s mission to exhaust the grace of God as revealed in Christ, and poured out through the Holy Spirit , to violently take the Kingdom by force. Jesus says to the Samaritan woman, if only you knew the gift God has for you and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would ask me and I would give you living water. 

“Brothers and sisters, I know that I still have a long way to go. But there is one thing I do: I forget what is in the past and try as hard as I can to reach the goal before me. I keep running hard toward the finish line to get the prize that is mine because God has called me through Christ Jesus to life up there in heaven.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ERV‬‬

Is God giving you grace to pray more, utilize it and fix your environment to make room for this grace, has God elevated you at work? Maximize the grace by being excellent. Has God given to grace to serve his Church, maximize the grace by keeping yourself pure. Has God given you the grace to serve at Home, maximize this grace by demonstrating a Christ like character. Has God given you grace to proclaim the good news? Maximize the grace by studying to show yourself approved. Do everything to the glory of God. Work willingly and enthusiastically, For God is working in you. 

Prayer

Father thank you for your grace, your divine enablement to become who you have created me to be. I thank you that each day is an opportunity to experience your power. I pray that you open my eyes to perceive that which you have freely given me, to recognize your touch, Just as the woman with the issue of blood pressed forward for she recognized that grace has come in the person of Christ, she left her comfort and marched forward to possess it. This day may i see the ways you have poured out grace in my life. In Jesus Name Amen.
