You Can Multiply Grace And Peace In Your Life
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through
the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord
(2 Peter 1:2)
Grace and peace are two extremely vital
elements you must have working in your life
in increasing measure, for you to live the transcendent
life that you’ve received in Christ.
What is grace? Grace means more than unmerited
favour; it refers to the divine influence on the human
spirit. It’s the outworking or outward reflection of the
beauty, power, perfection, excellence, virtue and glory
of divinity in your human spirit. It’s a supernatural
endowment that causes you to flourish and excel in
all you do.
Peace means amongst other beautiful things,
power over crisis. It’s translated from the Greek word
“eiréné,” which is akin to the Hebrew word “shalom.”
It doesn’t just refer to the peace of being safe from
evil and destruction, but to that which brings rest and
prosperity. When you have the peace of Jesus Christ,
it means you have power over crisis, and are at rest
in prosperity.
That’s the kind of life Jesus had when He walked
the earth: He was full of grace and truth, and was at
rest and in control, every time, every day, everywhere
and in all circumstances! Peter tells us that the way to
have grace and peace multiplied in your life is through
the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. You
don’t have to pray, “O God, give me more grace,”
or “multiply my peace.” You’re to make it happen
for yourself, by giving yourself to the acquisition and
application of the precise, full and absolute knowledge
(Greek-Epignosis) of God.
Too many people are suffering and struggling in
life when they ought to be living in the transcendental
blessings that have been made available to us in
Christ Jesus. The reason they’re suffering is because of
ignorance. Get to know more of God; study the Word!
Become acquainted with Him through fellowship and
meditation on the Scriptures, and His grace and peace
will be multiplied in your life.
Confession
The grace of God is evident and manifest in my life;
I’m blessed and highly favoured in all things. The peace of
God that surpasses all understanding guards my heart.
I have power over crises and I’m at peace in prosperity!
I’m on top, in charge and in control of circumstances,
because Christ is in me, and He’s my peace. Blessed be God!
