DEFINITION AND OUTWORKINGS OF GRACE – PART 2

  “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7

”But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever”. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18

THE 7 OUTWORKINGS OF GRACE

4. Joy.
Grace brings about Joy; joy indescribable and unspeakable. As a Christian walking in grace, let Joy work out through your life. When you take advantage of grace, the world will not be able to explain how you are always up there. Where they let worries and the cares of this life control them, they do not understand how you have become a distributor of joy. With grace in your life, you become dauntless even in seemingly difficult situations. When challenges come to you look inwards for the solution, because you know that: THE BIGGER THE PROBLEM, THE BIGGER THE TESTIMONY.

5. Liberality.
Grace brings LIBERALITY into your life. You have got to recognize that Grace opens a two-way channel; it is called giving and a receiving channel.  Recognize that giving is a Grace. When Grace opens up that passion to give; it also opens up your CAPACITY to receive.

6. Pleasure.
Grace brings about PLEASURE. Do you know that Pleasure comes spiritually and that you can take pleasure in all that God has created? Your life is for Him; recognizing this makes everything in your life pleasurable and yet pleasing to God. Now, Grace brings about a kind and happy pleasure that should make you appreciate the people and the things in your life.

7. Gift.
Grace brings GIFTs into your life. Grace brings about an uncanny ability to do what others cannot do. This can manifest itself by form of a skill, quality and understanding of certain areas. It’s important that you recognize the gift of God upon you and put it to use, it makes God’s power to come upon it.

CONCLUSION - YOUR ROLE WITH GRACE
God expects us to put his Grace to work as each one of us has been given grace. Make up your mind to put to work the GRACE upon your life. The Bible says in Romans 5:17 ’’For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ’’.

Make a firm decision to put to work the grace upon your life and you can be sure that your testimonies will be those of unprecedented manifestations of the Holy Ghost.
