YOU CAN HAVE GRACE MANY TIMES MORE
“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” (2 Peter 3:18).
The Bible tells us to grow in grace, to take advantage of the grace that’s in Christ Jesus. Don’t stay in the grace you had last year. It worked then, but there’s more God wants you to move to new and higher levels of grace. You can have grace many times more. You might ask, “How can I make this happen?” The Word of God shows us exactly how.
2 Peter 1:2 says, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.” Notice that it says “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you,” not added but multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. The more you get to know God through the Word, the more His grace in your life multiplies exponentially.
The knowledge of God that multiplies His grace in your life is “epignosis” (Greek). It means full and exact knowledge, knowledge that unites you with its object. Without that intimate, revelation knowledge or “epignosis” of Christ, your grace could be stagnant or only go from little grace to a little more grace. But as you study and meditate on the Word to know the Lord more, the increase is sudden.
That’s when you realize that your abilities have increased. Your influence, prosperity and greatness keep spreading. It’s part of the reasons He tells us to meditate on the Scriptures: “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all” (1 Timothy 4:15).
The word “appear” is from the Greek “Phaneros,” and it means to spread abroad, to be distinctly known to all. So, when the grace of God is multiplied in your life, apart from the increased capacity or ability to do more, your prosperity, influence, greatness, impact, and the extent of your dominion are far-reaching and unmistakably known to all. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for showing me the way of increase. I grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. My grace is multiplied through revelation knowledge. I function in higher levels of ability, favour, and influence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
If you’re blessed by this devotional, believing every word you heard by faith in your heart, and would love to make Jesus the lord of your life, then speak the confessions below out loud, and mean them with your heart:
“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”
