THE GRACE ADVANTAGE
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).
No matter how intelligent you are or how hard you work, there’s a dimension to real success and achievement that transcends natural abilities and efforts. It’s called grace. Grace arranges and orchestrates life’s circumstances in your favour.
Grace coordinates how things unfold for you, who comes in and out of your world, when they arrive, and for what purpose. It determines how things connect and align; the people, resources, opportunities etc. When you understand this, you become truly humble, realizing that the race isn’t to the swift, nor is the battle to the strong. Wealth is not to one who’s brilliant, neither is favour to the learned, but time and chance happen to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NIV).
The apostles understood this. That’s why Paul, John, and Peter often talked about grace. Read their respective epistles; they often began by saying, “Grace be to you…” (2 Corinthians 1:2). 2 John 1:3, “Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father….” Also, “… Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied” (1 Peter 1:2). They knew what grace could accomplish.
Be conscious of the grace of God. Learn to function by grace and multiply the grace of God in your life. How does grace multiply? Peter tells us that it’s through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2). You can multiply and increase the dimensions and workings of God’s grace in your life by meditating on the Word and putting it to work in your life. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the abundance of Grace that’s available to me in Christ Jesus. I walk in increased grace, favour and peace. As I grow in the knowledge of your Word, your grace is actively working in my life, producing supernatural results and aligning all things in my favour. I walk in excellence, fruitfulness and divine success, In Jesus Name, Amen.
