“By which have been given to us exceedingly great and PRECIOUS PROMISES…” – 2 Peter 1:4a

God’s Divine Nature saturates our lives through the “pipeline” of His exceedingly great and precious DIVINE PROMISES: “by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Pet.1:4). Here, Peter wrote to believers who had received a faith as precious as that of the apostles, secured by the righteousness of Jesus Christ, with the core message that we as believers are not meant to struggle in our own strength, but to rely on God's divine provision for a productive life. His promises are magnificent, awesome, vast, invaluable, and dear.

First, Grace and Peace (inward tranquillity) are not static; they are multiplied through intimate, experiential knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord (v.2). Also, God’s divine Power has already "granted" everything necessary for a godly life – for Life and Godliness (v.3). Through God’s promises, we are made “partakers of the divine nature” – sharing in His Holiness, Love, and Character. His Nature flows into our situations through His promises. Without a promise, we lack the connection. When we act upon a promise in faith, God's Nature is released into our circumstances. This means, in Christ, we have all the spiritual, emotional, and divine resources required for any situation.

Furthermore, we’re empowered by these promises to "escape the corruption that is in the world through lust" – worldly corruption and the decay of lust and sin in the world (v.4). Beloved, based on these divine realities, join me to prophetically declare, in Jesus’ Name:

Grace and Peace are being multiplied in my life through the increasing knowledge of God and of my Lord Jesus Christ. I have received and partaken of all resources needed for life and godliness; I lack nothing required to fulfill my divine purpose.

I am a partaker of the Divine Nature; I share in God’s Character, Holiness, and Power. I am walking in God’s divine Power, not my own strength. I refuse to live in lack, anxiety, or fear. Addiction, sickness, weakness, depression, frustration, and failure have no hold on me.

The exceedingly great and precious Promises of God in His Word shall constantly manifest in my life and family, bringing transformation. I have escaped the corruption of this world caused by evil desires. I am set free from the bondage of sin. No evil lust shall ever master me.

I am growing in the true knowledge of Him who has called me to Glory and Excellence. I will not fall or stumble, because I am diligent to confirm my calling and election. 

I am moving from grace to grace and glory to glory, and my life will be ever-fruitful and productive in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am empowered to reflect Your glory in my daily life.
