The Mystery and Power of Exceeding Grace

Rev. Peter Maduoma ·Sunday, May 1, 2022 ·2Cor 9:14-15 ·Sunday
Introduction
  • To have a deep or deeper understanding of any subject of the Bible you need Revelation - Revelation is the highest level of Knowledge or understanding a man or woman can have spiritually
  • Revelation is by the operation of the Holy spirit of God. And the Holy ghost that unveils the deep things of God.
  • That is the reason why in Eph 1:17-19 Paul prayed for his disciples that the Lord should grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of christ.
  • In 1Cor 14:6 Paul said what shall i profit you ecept i shall speak to you either by revelation or by knowledge or by prophesy or by doctrine. The highest here in Revelation. 1Cor 14:26 Also we must speak to the brethren by revelation
  • Revelation means the divine and supernatural unveiling of what is not in the unkonwn.
  • It is the unveiling of mystery. Making it clear to the understanding of others.
  • In Eph 3:3 Paul said "How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;(as i wrote afore in few words). Mysteries of the Kingdom of God are made known by revelation
  • It is given to us to know of the mysteries of the kingdom but this has to come by revelation. Mt 13:11, Lk 8:10
  • Revelation of mysteries has the power to establish a man. Rom 16:25 says "Now to hire that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation od the mystery which is kept secret since the world began".
  • Revelation of mysteries by the Holy Ghost comes via.
  1. A clean heart that is panting after God.
  2. Atmosphere of divine Presence.
  3. Rich intake and study of the word
  4. Deep Meditation on the word of God.
  5. Intensive and fervant Prayers.
  • A life full of the divine mysteries of God by revelation is a life that will excel in life and a life that lack the mysteries of God and the kingdom is a life that will end up in miseries
  • Now i like you to know that one of the greatest mysteries of the kingdom of God is the mysteries of GRACE
  • You cannot understand grace until the holy spirit gives you revelation. eg. Paul got revelation before he could go to the gentiles Peter: God have to give him revelation before he could understand that grace should be extended to the gentiles.
  • This Month of may 2022 we shall be looking at a dimension of Grace

known as Exeeding Grace by Revelation of the Holy Spirit.

So This First Sunday in May 2022 we shall be looking at the title "The Mystery and Power of Exceeding Grace" In 1Pet 4:10 the Bible said "As every man hath received the gift even so minsiter the same one to another as good standards of the manifold grace of God".

  1. So grace is many fold. It has dimensions for example
  • There is the saving grace of God. Eph 2:8-9
  • There is the grace that powers a man to do the unusual. Acts 4:3
  • There is the grace that is Unmerited favour eg the grace that God

showed to Lot in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorah.

  • There is the grace that people find before God by the way they live

their lives eg. Abraham, Noah, David etc. In Heb 4:16 the Bible says "Let us therfore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we my obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

  1. There is the grace that come to you in time of need to help you.
  • There is the 5th dimension of Grace which is called "Exceeding grace"
  1. I got this by the revelation of the spirit as i studied and meditated on the word for this month.
  2. What is Exceeding Grace
  • 2Cor 9:14-15 said "And by their prayer for you which long after you the "Exceeding grace of God in you" Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift"
  • So Exceeding Grace is the Giving Grace
  1. The Giving grace is the grace that exceeds all Grace.
  2. 2Cor 8:7 says "Therefore as ye abound in everything in faith and utterance and Knowledge and in all diligence and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also"
  3. What grace, the grace of giving. The grace that exceeds all other grace.
  • The Bible says in Jn 3:16 for God so loved the world that He gave
  • At every stage of God's dealing with man we see God demonstrating the Exceeding Grace.
  1. I think of i how much God has given to you and all mankind. b. Let us follow in the steps of God and christ and abound in the Exceeding Grace.
  2. What is the Mystery Power of Exceeding Grace.
  • It is the mystery and Power of Seed. 2Cor 9:10 says "Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.
  1. It is God that gives us both seed and bread Isa 55, 2Cor 9:10
  2. God can only multiply your seed sown and not your bread. Gen 16:10
  3. Until a seed is sown it abides alone.
  4. So someone may have seed and not increase
  5. A seed not sown will soon become the bread. eg Not paying your tithe when you are suppose to. It will so become bread.
  6. You do not have the Power of multiplications only God has. Deut 8;18 "Thou shall remember the Lord thy God for its him that give the power to get wealth.
  7. It is seed that increases the fruits of your righteousness
  8. This is a mystery Abraham belive God to sacrifice his son Isaac and God counted it for him for righteousness
  9. You want to be more righteous then increase your seed sowing.
  10. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the father is this to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world" You do not visit such people empty handed. You go with seomething to give.
  11. What are some of the Mysterious benefits of seed sowing Isa 55:5-13
  • Stop thinking as man think as God when it comes to seed sowing and the mysterious benefits of seed shall be yours
  • Leave your ways and come to the higher way of God which is Exceeding grace- The Giving grace.
  • It is that enlongates your covenant with God and carries it from one generation to another. Gen 17:6-9
  • It is seed that makes a room way for you and secure your future. Gen 17:7-8
  1. Prov 18:16 says "A man's gift maketh room for him, and longeth him before great men.
