(It’s Up To You To Decide How Much Grace And Peace You’d Enjoy)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Peter 1:1-2 KJV
“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the…Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father…Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”

LET’S TALK
Something really profound about Paul’s letters is how much he emphasizes God’s grace and peace. At the start of his letters, like in Romans 1:7, he’d often say, “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

You also see this in the letters of Peter and John because they all understood how powerful and important God’s grace and peace are in the lives of people.

But Peter goes a step further and gives us something extra. At the beginning of his first letter, he says, “Grace and peace be multiplied to you.”

Then in his second letter, he explains how this multiplication happens: through the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).

Multiplied grace in your life means increased capacity, speed, and accuracy to perform. It means more favours and greater excellence in your life with prosperity, dominion and power over adversity. Hallelujah!

But to experience all this, you have to have the knowledge of God. Knowledge here is “epignosis,” which is correct and precise knowledge—a knowledge that relates with that which is known.

So, if you want more grace and peace in your life, it’s up to you. It’s not going to happen by you praying, “Oh God, multiply your grace and peace in my life.” No! He’s already shown you what to do.

So get to know God more intimately. Study and meditate on His Word regularly, and your grace and peace will increase exponentially. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the abundance of grace and peace that you have made available to me through the knowledge of your Word. My knowledge of you deepens as I meditate on your Word, thus causing your grace and peace to be multiplied in my life, leading to increased capacity, dominion and prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
