RHAPSODY OF REALITIES 12TH NOVEMBER 2025 DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAHKILOME
Rhapsody of Realities – 12th November 2025, Wednesday Daily Devotional Message
TOPIC: THE POWER OF “EPIGNOSIS”
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).
The Apostle Peter addresses those who have obtained like precious faith through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Then he declares, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord” (2 Peter 1:2).
But he’s not referring to just any kind of knowledge. The Greek word used for knowledge here is “Epignosis,” a specialized knowledge. It refers to the knowledge that comes through relationship and experience. It’s knowledge that relates with that object of knowledge or that which is known. You may know something intellectually, but that doesn’t mean you relate with it.
“Epignosis” is full, deep, exact knowledge. Think of it like footballers: some of them can control the ball with astonishing mastery. It’s as though they’ve become one with the ball. They’ve made friends with it. To them, it’s no longer just a piece of leather but something that has gained a personality to them.
Contrast that with someone who has general knowledge about the round leather ball. He or she might know the material, size, or structure of the ball. He may even be able to tell you the science behind its design, but he can’t control it. He has no mastery of the ball.
Mastery comes by relationship, and “Epignosis” is the knowledge that makes us masters. It unites the knower with that which is known. It comes through meditation on the Word—when the Word becomes personal to you and moves from theory to relationship. This establishes you and causes grace and peace to be multiplied in your life. So, cultivate that relationship with the Word. Let it become more than information. Let it become a living reality; your life will blossom, and you’ll be a wonder to your world.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into a deeper and more intimate knowledge of you through your Word. I walk in multiplied grace and peace today, functioning with the precise and full knowledge of your Word. My spirit is established, strengthened and aligned with your perfect will for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
