Enlarged by Grace

R Rev. Dr. Sam Edem October 6, 2026 2 min read

Key Scripture:

1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJV) — “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain…”


Supernatural enlargement is ultimately a work of God's grace. Grace is God's undeserved favour and enabling power at work in our lives. Paul acknowledged that whatever he had become and whatever he accomplished was possible because of God's grace. This keeps us from boasting in ourselves and reminds us that every genuine increase that advances God's purpose should produce gratitude to God. Ephesians 2:8–9; 2 Corinthians 4:7; James 1:17


Grace, however, does not make us passive. Paul continued, “I laboured more abundantly,” while acknowledging that it was God's grace working with him. Grace empowers us to serve, grow, endure and fulfil God's calling. Therefore, enlargement by grace includes both divine enablement and faithful human response. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Philippians 2:12–13; 2 Timothy 2:1 God may enlarge your influence, ministry, capacity or opportunities, but He also gives grace to steward what He entrusts to you.


Today, do not compare your journey with another person's enlargement. Receive God's grace for your own assignment and faithfully develop what He has placed in your hands. Romans 12:3–8; 1 Peter 4:10–11 What God has begun by grace, He is able to strengthen by grace. As you remain humble, obedient and dependent on Him, may His grace enlarge your capacity, deepen your usefulness and make your life increasingly fruitful for His glory.


Prayer Points

  1. Lord, let Your grace abound in my life.
  2. Give me grace for every new assignment.
  3. Keep me humble as You enlarge me.


Prophetic Declarations

  1. God's grace is sufficient for every season of my life.
  2. I am empowered by grace for greater Kingdom impact.
  3. I will grow, increase and flourish by God's grace.
