Text: II Corinthians 9:1-8

We often wonder what the grace of God can do. If we allow our eyes to be opened by God, we will discover that the word ‘grace’ is inexhaustible. It is an all-encompassing word. An acrostic will enable you to gain deep insights into the word: God’s RACE - Riches R, At A, Christ’s C, Expense E.

God is our Father. He is the One who put the big mountains in their positions. Dominion belongs to Him. Nobody can query Him. The Bible says: “But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power for help, and to cast down” (II Chronicles 25:8). The above message was sent to an enemy of God. Nevertheless, there is a statement there that we need to extract, as children of God. God has the power to help. Some people have power but cannot help. Our God has the power to help and He can help also. He is the author of help.

The Bible says: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth”(Psalms 121:1-2). God has the power to keep promises. God is able to make all grace abound, according to II Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” We need tremendous grace to do all that we have to do in His vineyard. We need grace to fulfill life’s tasks. We need grace to keep us humble and holy. We need grace to help us manage prosperity so that it will not ruin us.

God has the power to do all that we can ask from Him. Ephesians 3:20, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh is us.” Finally, He is able to keep you from falling. Jude 24: “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.”

Memory Verse: I Chronicles 29:12 - “Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reigneth over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great.”
