INTRODUCTION:

May is the fifth month of the year and 5 stands for grace.

As we enter the month of May, God is ushering us into a deeper dimension of His grace—Exceeding Grace. This is not ordinary grace for survival but abundant grace for thriving. It is grace that goes beyond limits, qualifications, efforts, and expectations. Exceeding grace makes the impossible possible and opens doors no man can shut.

Grace is the divine influence that enables a man to accomplish what he could never achieve by human strength. It is the unmerited favour and power of God poured generously on the believer. When grace is in operation, testimonies multiply, barriers are broken, and divine speed is released. May is prophetically declared as the season where exceeding grace will speak for you in every aspect of life.

In this new month, don’t just expect what is common. Lift your faith for what only grace can deliver. It is time to break free from cycles of limitation and labour. May will be marked by divine help, accelerated breakthroughs, and visible evidence of God's overwhelming grace upon your life.
