Read:
Daniel 6:25-28

Message

In some cultures, kings often greet their subjects by saying, "Peace be multiplied unto you." In Daniel 6:25, when King Darius was writing to all his subjects after Daniel had escaped the lions' den unhurt, he started his letter with, "Peace be multiplied unto you." Also, in the New Testament, each time Apostle Paul wrote to the various churches, he would start by greeting them, "Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father" (Romans 1:7, 1 Corinthians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 1:2, Galatians 1:3). Likewise, Peter, in his letters, often wrote, "Peace be multiplied unto you" (1 Peter 1:2 and 2 Peter 1:2). All of these greetings make us understand that peace can increase, and it can be multiplied. Even if you feel that you already have peace and there is nothing to worry about, you should always pray that your peace will be multiplied. If peace can bring so much rest, multiplied peace can bring much more.

Years ago, I was returning from Britain to Nigeria on the same flight as a great man of God and his wife. According to his testimony, which I heard later on, he told his wife during the flight that since Daddy G.O. was on the plane with them, there was absolutely nothing to worry about. When we were halfway through the journey, the plane encountered severe turbulence, and the entire cabin began to shake. According to the man of God, he got up at that moment, looked at where I was seated on the plane, and saw that I was fast asleep. He then returned to his seat and told his wife that there was absolutely nothing to worry about because "Daddy is sleeping." He said that seeing me sleeping at that moment multiplied the peace he already had.

When you experience multiplied peace from God, every form of trouble or fear will be far from you. In John 14:27, Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I pray that the peace of the Lord will be multiplied unto you today, in Jesus' name.

Beloved, the secret to enjoying multiplied peace from God is revealed in today's memory verse - loving Him and His law. If you indeed want your peace to be multiplied, you must love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37), and obey His commandments at all times.

RCCG Hymn

When peace, like a river attendeth my way

  1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way.
    When sorrows, like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot. Thou has taught me to know,
    "It is well, it is well with my soul

  2. It is well,... With my soul,...
    It is well, it is well with my soul


  3. Though Satan should buffet.
    It trials should come.
    Let this blest assurance control.
    That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate.
    And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
  4. My sin- Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
    My sin-not in part, but the Whole
    Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more:
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.O my soul.
  5. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live!
    If Jordan above me shall roll.
    No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
    Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
  6. .But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait.
    The sky, not the grave, is our te', goal:
    Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord!
    Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul.
