To stir up the deposit of God’s grace in your life, you must appreciate the power embedded in it and what it has to offer you. It is only what you appreciate that has the capacity to appreciate your life!

Whatever virtue you despise certainly will lead to a depreciation! Please, understand that appreciation is essentially a matter of the heart, which eventually finds expression in the mouth and ultimately in actions. 

So, if you appreciate the grace of God, give it a voice by allowing it to reflect in what you say, then act it so people can see it! This is exactly what Apostle Paul, a man of great exploits exemplified when he declared: “But by the grace of God I am what I am…” I Corinthians 15:10

Certainly, the grace of God has so much to offer every believer, including you; some of them were discussed in the previous chapter. You will do well to go through the chapter again, just as a reminder.

Interestingly, every believer definitely requires all of the accomplishments of grace discussed in that previous chapter. May you not be robbed of any of them in Jesus’ name!

Tap Into It!

What you need to do next is to take action, take practical steps and begin to tap into the grace of God deposited in you. “How can I get this done?,” you may ask. You can get this done by actively engaging the use of stirring instruments. Some of these stirring instruments shall be examined in the next chapter.

Remember: For you to enjoy the grace of God, acknowledge that it is already deposited in you at salvation, appreciate the power embedded in it, and then tap into it…
