SUPERNATURAL OVERFLOW

TITLE: SUPERNATURAL OVERFLOW

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text Psalm 23:5 
Supporting Texts: John 7:37-39, Malachi 3:10, Ephesians 3:20

INTRODUCTION 
Supernatural overflow refers to an abundance that comes from God's divine power, beyond human capacity or resources. It is when God supplies more than enough—beyond our needs, expectations, and natural limitations. In Psalm 23:5, David declares, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." This speaks of a level of blessing and favour that surpasses the ordinary, where God’s provision and anointing cause every area of life to overflow with His goodness.

This sermon explores how we can experience supernatural overflow in various aspects of our lives—spiritually, materially, and relationally. It is a season where God wants to pour out His blessings so abundantly that they overflow in our lives, impacting those around us.

1. THE NATURE OF SUPERNATURAL OVERFLOW 

a) Overflow Comes from God’s Abundance 
God is a God of abundance, and His resources are limitless. When He blesses, He does so abundantly. Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." His overflow is not just about meeting our needs but going far beyond what we can imagine. The supernatural overflow is God’s way of demonstrating His ability to do more than we can ask for, even in situations that seem impossible.

b) Overflow in the Presence of Opposition 
Psalm 23:5 emphasizes that the overflow happens "in the presence of my enemies." This means that God’s blessing can manifest even in the face of challenges, opposition, or circumstances that seem unfavourable. God can cause you to prosper and thrive in the midst of difficult situations. The overflow is not dependent on external conditions but on God’s power.

Biblical Example: Isaac in the Land of Famine 
In Genesis 26, Isaac sowed in a land of famine, and God blessed him so abundantly that he reaped a hundredfold in that same year (Genesis 26:12-13). While others were struggling, Isaac experienced supernatural overflow because of God’s covenant blessing. This shows that God's overflow can manifest even in times of scarcity and difficulty.

2. KEYS TO EXPERIENCING SUPERNATURAL OVERFLOW 

a) Faith and Obedience to God’s Word
Supernatural overflow is often connected to our faith and obedience. In Malachi 3:10, God promises an overflow of blessings when we honour Him with our tithes and offerings: "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse... if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it." Faith and obedience unlock the windows of heaven and release God’s overflow into our lives.

b) Being Filled with the Holy Spirit
Spiritual overflow begins with being filled with the Holy Spirit. In John 7:37-39, Jesus spoke of rivers of living water flowing out of those who believe in Him, referring to the Holy Spirit. The more we are filled with the Spirit, the more we overflow with His power, wisdom, and anointing. This spiritual overflow impacts every area of life, bringing peace, joy, and divine guidance.

Biblical Example: The Widow’s Oil 
In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the widow experienced a supernatural overflow of oil when she obeyed the prophet’s instruction to borrow vessels. As long as she had vessels, the oil kept flowing, filling every container. This shows that when we act in faith and obedience, God’s provision can overflow, meeting all our needs and more.

3. LIVING IN THE REALITY OF SUPERNATURAL OVERFLOW
 
a) Expecting Overflow in Every Area of Life 
To experience supernatural overflow, we must live with an expectation that God will do more than enough in every area of our lives. Whether it’s in our finances, health, relationships, or ministry, we should expect God’s abundance. Ephesians 3:20 reminds us that God exceeds our expectations. Having a mindset of abundance, not lack, positions us to receive overflow.

b) Becoming a Conduit for God’s Blessing 
God’s overflow is not just for our benefit but also to bless others. When we receive supernatural overflow, we become channels of blessing to others. Luke 6:38 says, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom." As we share the blessings we receive, God continues to pour more into our lives.

Biblical Example: The Feeding of the 5,000 
In John 6, Jesus fed over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish, and there were twelve baskets left over (John 6:12-13). This miraculous event demonstrates God’s ability to multiply resources, resulting in supernatural overflow. When we give our little into God’s hands, He multiplies it beyond measure.

4. THE PURPOSE OF SUPERNATURAL OVERFLOW 

a) To Demonstrate God’s Glory 
Supernatural overflow brings glory to God. When people see the abundance in our lives, they will know that it is the Lord’s doing. Psalm 126:2-3 says, "Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them.'" God’s overflow in our lives is a testimony to His greatness and faithfulness.

b) To Equip Us for Kingdom Advancement 
God’s overflow is also meant to equip us for greater service in His Kingdom. When we experience supernatural overflow, we are better positioned to advance God’s work and help others. Whether it’s through financial prosperity, spiritual gifts, or influence, God’s overflow empowers us to impact the world around us.

Biblical Example: Solomon’s Wisdom and Wealth 
King Solomon was blessed with wisdom and wealth that overflowed beyond the borders of Israel. His overflow attracted leaders from other nations, such as the Queen of Sheba, who came to see the wisdom and prosperity God had given him (1 Kings 10). Solomon’s overflow was a testament to God’s greatness and a tool for influencing nations.

CONCLUSION 
Supernatural overflow is the result of God’s divine intervention, where He supplies more than enough in every area of life. As you trust in God, walk in faith and obedience, and stay filled with the Holy Spirit, you will begin to experience an overflow of blessings. It is God’s desire that your cup runs over, not only for your benefit but also to bless others and advance His Kingdom. Step into this season of supernatural overflow, and expect God to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you ask or think.
