The question: How do I take advantage of what is mine?

 First by recognising that the blessings of God is not something you inherit by virtue of any

meritorious act on your part. It is a gift from God the moment you become born again.

 Second, know that though it is your inheritance, walking in it requires your co-operation. It is

not everything that God desires that He gets. For example: God’s desire is that all be saved (

1 Tim 2:4) but not all are saved. Why? Because of the response to the grace freely given by

God. God’s grace makes all things available but our response is crucial on how we enjoy

what God has freely given

 Third, God functions by principles – and these principles, known, learnt and applied are what

makes one person enjoys God and the other may not. God is constant in both situations but

the response from each individual to his grace is crucial.
