Topic: HExperience Exceeding Grace [Archbishop Margaret E. Benson Idahosa] Above Only Daily Devotional 29 March 2020

Genesis 17:6 (NKJV) I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.

Exodus 1:7 & 12a (NKJV) But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

2 Corinthians 9:8 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. ¹² And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may bound to every good work:

What does the word exceeding mean to you? To exceed can mean to go beyond or to surpass. Today, God wants you to know that by virtue of His grace upon your life, you have the ability to go beyond and surpass human limitations and expectations. God’s exceeding grace upon your life grants you the ability and privilege to operate by Heaven’s economy. All things are possible for you, so stretch your faith and trust in God because eyes have not seen, ears have not heard and minds have not imagined the things God has prepared and planned to manifest in your life because of His great love for you, 1 Cor. 2:9. God is able to do exceedingly above all that you can ask or think, according to His power at work in you, Eph. 3:20.

2 Peter 1:4 assures you that God has made exceedingly great and precious promises so that you can partake of His divine nature. According to Ephesians 1:9, the power of God at work in you because of your faith in Christ is exceedingly great. It is the very same power that raised Christ from the dead. In Matthew 5:41 (NKJV) Jesus said, “and whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.” Do you know why Jesus said this? He wants you to know that His grace in your life will exceed whatever issue or challenge you will ever have to face. Even when people think they are punishing you by giving you an impossible task, they will be amazed by your willingness to go the extra mile to exceed their demands and expectations because of God’s exceeding grace that will manifest in your life. By the abundance of God’s grace you have received in Christ, you are dominating and reigning in every area of your life, Rom. 5:17.

Faith Declaration:

The mighty and exceeding grace of God is at work in me. All things are possible for me. I enjoy favours and God’s ability always.
