*COMMENTARY*
When grace is provoked, disgrace is revoked. Saul, though a learned man was a religious extremist and terrorist of no mean mean repute, who rubs minds with renegades the most unreasonable class of people-zombies. It is unthinkable to imagine, let alone to see a reasonable, responsible and well-respected personality under the Mile-2 bridge in Lagos or at the bus stop wielding crooked weapons like machetes, stones, broken bottles or sharp objects. This was Saul's situation; he was in a spiritual, economic, emotional, moral, social and career mess until grace jammed and freed him from them all.
What is Grace? Grace is a gift from God which has nothing with what you did or could do to receive it. Many have defined grace as unmerited favour from God. It is God's gift to mankind which we did not and can never earn but He chose to freely give us. Grace turns noticeable and undeniable weakness to perfect strength. Grace converts a sinner to a saint. Grace cancels debts, offers yet another chance, vacates the death sentence, thwarts satanic agenda, brings unparalleled blessings and fulfils God's intent concerning an individual. Grace qualifies the unqualified. It beautifies the unworthy and speaks for the voiceless. When grace speaks, other voices cease and every ear listens with readiness to follow instructions to the letter.
What is Disgrace? It is the condition of being strongly and generally disapproved. It is the loss of honour, respect, reputation or favour. Sincerely, no one anywhere wants to identify with anyone who is a disgrace; on the contrary, people avoid such a person like a plague. Irrespective of whether the disgrace is self-incurred or not. If you doubt me ask the woman with the issue of blood or a leper.
*How Do I Provoke Grace?* Grace is provoked by faith in the
finished work of Christ on the cross. It is called ABC- Accept, Believe & Confess Christ and His promises.

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*
God's grace is not by works; it is a gift which He freely bestows.
🙏🏿 *PRAYER*
May your grace oh Lord, speak for me daily in the name of Yeshua the Christ. Amen.
