The Grace to Excel

Every Christian has the grace to excel in everything. God is able to direct all the grace you require for anything in this life towards you, such that you’re never behind in competence or ability. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 9:8 that ’’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…’’. You’re qualified for any task; that’s what it means to have “all sufficiency in all things”; it means you have all the competencies and special skills required for excellence in every good work.

The word translated “sufficiency,” in this context, is the Greek “autarkeia,” which means competence. This indicates a state of self-sufficiency whereby you require no aid or support. God has given you a life that makes you so competent that you don’t require any help! This can work vitally in your life. You can be sufficient in all things; competent in all things. You can be competent in your job, family, academics and daily pursuits.

There’s another word translated sufficiency in 2 Corinthians 3:5, this time, the Greek word used is “hikanotes,” and it means ability: “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God….” This means that the ability of God has been made available to you. No wonder Paul the Apostle crescendos in Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
​
You have been specially enabled to live supernaturally to the glory of God, because it says your sufficiency, your ability, your ‘hikanotes’ is of God. Refuse to function with your human ability; rather, function with divine might because you can do all things through Christ! Make this your confession every day. Never say, “I can’t.” Change your vocabulary. Even now, begin to say, “I can walk,” “I can do the job.” “I can perfect it.” “I can do anything.” “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

I am specially empowered to live the supernatural life because my sufficiency and ability is of God. Not by my might nor power, but by the Spirit of God who lives in me. Glory

I function with His divine might and dwell in his sufficiency.

I possess very special skills that allow me function with no assistance from man. I have all I need in Christ! Glory to God!
