“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” - (2 Corinthians 9:8).
Our opening verse says 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.
You’re qualified for any task; that’s what it
means to have “all sufficiency in all things”; you have all the
competencies, special skills and abilities required for excellence in all
things.
The word translated “sufficiency” in our
opening verse is the Greek word “autarkeia,” which indicates a
state of self-sufficiency, whereby you require no aid or support.
God has given you a life that’s so balanced,
such that you’re so efficient, effective, and capable that you don’t require
any help!
Think, see, and live from this perspective of
limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities.
You’re graced to excel in every aspect of
your life: your job, family, academics and daily pursuits.
2 Corinthians 3:5
says, - “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of
ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.”
The word “sufficiency,” this time,
derives from another Greek word, “hikanotes,” which means
competence; being qualified enough to be able; to be up to the task.
No matter the challenges you might face in
life, they’re bread for you; you’re competent to handle them.
No wonder Paul could
boldly affirm in Philippians 4:13: - “I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me.”
If you were chosen for something, there’s no
need wondering whether or not you can do it; your competence is of God.
You’ve been specially enabled to live
supernaturally to the glory of God.
.
Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank
you for granting me the grace to excel in every good work. I’m excellent, and I
have an excellent life. Your divine power works in me mightily, and I go forth
to impact and influence my world with your divine presence, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
