  1. Greetings and praise the Lord.

  2. We continue with our theme for this month: the impartation of uncommon overflow, spirit-led abundance.

  3. And talking about abundance, I want to draw us to a passage in the book of 2 Corinthians, chapter 9, verse 6 to 8.

    2 Corinthians 9:6–8

  4. And this is what the word of God says But this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

  5. So let each one of us give as he has purpose in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver, and God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you always having all sufficiency in all things may have an abundance for every good work.

  6. Let me bring to us three principles of uncommon overflow.

  7. And the first one is the principle of generosity.

  8. Paul is telling the Corinthians that he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, but he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

  9. Abidance attracts abundance.

  10. And therefore, if you're going to attract the uncommon overflow, you will need to activate this principle of generosity.

  11. Not only in giving, Paul is talking specifically about giving, financial giving.

  12. But in everything you do, if you sow bountifully in terms of uh kindness, in terms of um uh honor, in terms of um, you know, being generous in everything that you do, you are also going to attract an equal measure of generosity or abundance.

  13. But the second principle I want to introduce to us is the principle of intentionality, the principle of intentionality.

  14. Paul is telling the Corinthians, so let each one uh give as he purposes, that their giving should not be accidental, but their giving should be purposeful.

  15. Each one to give as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity.

  16. Why?

  17. Because God uh loves a cheerful giver.

  18. Intentionality um produces abidance.

  19. When we are purposeful in what we are doing, we produce abundance.

  20. Abidance and overflow does not come by accident.

  21. We have to be intentional in the things that we are doing in order for us to attract the uncommon overflow.

  22. But the third principle I want to bring to us is the principle of alignment.

  23. Again, Paul is telling them in verse 8, and God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

  24. We are talking about sustained overflow.

  25. If you are going to have a sustained and common overflow, then I want to uh inform you and encourage you to know that uh alignment is very key.

  26. Connection, connection sustains abundance, and Paul is saying God is able to cause you at all times, in all seasons, in all things to have sufficiency, to have abundance, to have an overflow in everything because you are connected to God through his son Jesus Christ, and you are led of his spirit.

  27. And therefore, my brother, my sister, this month you are positioned to attract uncommon overflow.

  28. And how are you going to attract this?

  29. Position yourself in generosity, position yourself in intentionality, and then align yourself to the purposes and the plans of God, and you will see the taps of heaven are open fully for you in every aspect of your life.

  30. May God bless you, and may the Lord cause this week to be an uncommon week for you with an overflow of abundance in Jesus' mighty name.

  31. Amen.
