TOPIC: Multiplied Peace
MEMORISE
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
Psalm 119:165
SCRIPTURE READING
Daniel 6:25-28
25 Then King Darius wrote:
To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:
Peace be multiplied to you.
26 I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel.
For He is the living God,
And steadfast forever;
His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed,
And His dominion shall endure to the end.
27 He delivers and rescues,
And He works signs and wonders
In heaven and on earth,
Who has delivered Daniel from the [a]power of the lions.
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

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.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please multiply Your peace in all areas of my life, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
2 Samuel 23-24
Hymn: When Peace, Like A River
1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”
Refrain (may be sung after final stanza only):
It is well with my soul;
it is well, it is well with my soul.
2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control:
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed his own blood for my soul. Refrain
3 My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
my sin, not in part, but the whole,
is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Refrain
4 O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;
even so, it is well with my soul. Refrain
