GOD'S DELIGHT* (2)

Text : Jeremiah 9:24 

 *But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.* 

We saw yesterday that certain things that man glory himself in are not the things that God takes delight in. Rather, God wants man to glory in:

 *1. Understanding* : Personal understanding of who God is brings Him delight. *God is delighted and you are enlightened when you continually  receive the revelation of  Jesus Christ.* That is the reason Paul prayed for the Ephesian Church,   _that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him...._

Seeking to understand God can only be achieved through personal and dilligent walk with the Lord.

Prior to receiving understanding of God,you must first of all seek to walk in Faith and Love. Paul began to ask God to give the Ephesian Church the spirit of understanding and  wisdom after he heard of their Faith and Love.  Ephesians 1:15-17.

 *2. Knowledge* knowing God as the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, brings delight to His heart. (Jeremiah 9:24) *Seeking the knowledge of God superceeds any other knowledge one might desire or seek after in this world.* The knowledge of God is the highest form knowledge any one can seek.

Paul prayed that he may know Jesus, the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.... Phil 2:10.

 *To know God, you must first know the Son, and to know the Son, you must embrace the TRUTH.* Mathew 11:27

 *God delights in anyone who seeks His knowledge because knowing God is life eternal.* 

 _And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent._ 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father fill me with the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of your Son.

 *Bible Reading* :Luke 12:16-20

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
