By Rev. Samuel Arimoro
Text: 2 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.”
Supporting Texts: Romans 5:20, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 1:16, Titus 2:11
INTRODUCTION:
Grace is the unearned, undeserved, and unlimited favour of God. It is divine enablement that takes a man from nothing to something, from the back to the front, from shame to glory. While some experience grace in drops, others enjoy it in full measure. But there’s a realm beyond—extravagant grace—where God lavishes His goodness on you in overflowing proportions.
This month, God shall overwhelm you with His kindness, lift you beyond your labours, and decorate you with honour beyond what you deserve. That is extravagant grace!
1. EXTRAVAGANT GRACE CANCELS EVERY LIMITATION
When grace speaks, obstacles are silenced. Extravagant grace bypasses protocol and breaks limitations.
Illustration: In Esther 2:17, Esther, an orphaned slave girl, was chosen as queen by grace—not beauty, not effort, but favour.
2. EXTRAVAGANT GRACE QUALIFIES THE UNQUALIFIED
Grace gives you what you don’t qualify for. While others strive and struggle, grace makes things fall in place for you.
Illustration: David was the least in Jesse’s house, forgotten in the bush, yet grace located him and made him king (1 Samuel 16:11-13).
3. EXTRAVAGANT GRACE FORGIVES AND RESTORES
Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more. It doesn’t just pardon—it restores what was lost and lifts beyond the fall.
Illustration: The Prodigal Son was received with joy, a robe, a ring, and a feast (Luke 15:20-24). That’s extravagant grace in action.
4. EXTRAVAGANT GRACE EMPOWERS FOR EXPLOITS
Grace is not a license to be lazy—it empowers you to do great things with ease. What others struggle for, grace makes you achieve with divine speed.
Illustration: Paul declared in 1 Corinthians 15:10, “I am what I am by the grace of God…” Grace turned him into a mighty apostle despite his past.
5. EXTRAVAGANT GRACE MULTIPLIES ALL SUFFICIENCY
This kind of grace makes all grace abound toward you—spiritually, financially, mentally, and physically. It fills every area with abundance.
Illustration: In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the widow moved from empty pots to overflowing vessels. Grace moved her from debt to surplus.
CONCLUSION:
This month, extravagant grace shall speak for you. You will not struggle where others fail. God’s favour will go before you, open impossible doors, and silence every voice of condemnation. Let your faith rise—grace is about to decorate your destiny.
ALTAR CALL:
Grace begins at the cross. If you haven’t surrendered your life to Jesus, you cannot enjoy the fullness of extravagant grace. Say:
"Lord Jesus, I receive Your mercy today. Forgive me and wash me clean. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Let Your grace rewrite my story from today. Amen."
PRAYER POINTS:
