THE POWER OF “EPIGNOSIS”

NOVEMBER 12, 2025

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 “Epignósis,”

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.

“Epignósis” 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 “Epignósis” 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.
