2. There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

3. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

4. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5. They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

6. The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

7. The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

8. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.

9. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Grace is best described as an unmerited or undeserved favour or assistance given to a person. Men do show or give to other men most of the time according their knowledge and understanding but we want to look at God’s sufficient grace, what we may also call “DIVINE GRACE” this was best exemplified in Hannah who has been on the other side of life, experiencing mockery by Peninnah, the other wife of her husband, Elkanah because she was without a child. Then God’s grace located her and she transformed from a barren woman to become the mother of prophet Samuel and God gave her additional three sons and two daughters 1Sam.2:21. The grace of God cannot be understood by human thinking and principles. Paul the Apostle, in his conversation with the Almighty, the grace of God is sufficient for his predicament. God’s grace is more pronounced when your afflictions or denial are great; that is why He said that, I will rather glory in God’s grace.

i. No one is holy as the Lord

ii. The Lord lift the poor from the dust and needy from the garbage dump.

1. The grace of God is not about qualification or competence.

2. To understand more of the grace of God; you must be able to see weakness and not strength

3. To understand the mystery of God’s sufficient grace, you need a mind opener, Holy spirit that will help you understand the scripture Lk.29:45.

4. You need to find God’s sight. We can also grow in God’s grace 2 Peter 3:18. We can abuse grace

5. If we continue in sin Rom. 6:1

ACTIVITY: What are the things Christian should do to grow in God’s grace ?

SUMMARY: God’s grace is more pronounced during your afflictions.

CONCLUSION: The Bible mentions the “THRONE OF GRACE” (Heb.4:16) this is the source of God’s sufficient grace and it is not about qualification or competence but unmerited favour that God may be glorified. To understand therefore Paul says I will rather glory in my weakness so that more sufficient grace is given to me.
