KNOWING GOD

Text : Daniel 11:32 

 *"...the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits"* 

Today, we shall be considering another major factor that will improve your knowledge of God. Knowing fully well that your knowledge of God will help you do great exploit, it is therefore necessary for you to seek Him wholeheartedly.

A man who knows God is not one who knows so much of Bible only. Such a man is not a prayer warrior who prays for 10hours daily only. He's not one who works in God's vineyard, reaching many souls for God's kingdom only. A man with God's (true) knowledge is not one with great spiritual giftings. No, not at all! 

Infact, the church with lots of spiritual manifestations in the Epistle of Apostle Paul, is one with lots of carnal manifestations. Apostle Paul labelled the brethren in Corinthian church as carnal Christians. 1Cor. 3:3.

So, how do you pursue the knowledge of God?
 *To know God better and clearer, you need to daily pursue charity.*  

 *Because God is Love, when you pursue charity, you will find the excellent way unto God.* _"...And yet I show you a more excellent way"_  1Cor. 12:31.

 *Anyone who seeks to walk in Love (towards God and man), is one who is seeking to know God. And such will surely do great exploits.* 

As simple as this may sound, the scripture affirms it in 1 John 4:7 that "...everyone who loves is born of God and knows God".

So if you love, then you are born of God, and you know God. If you are born of God and know God, you will surely do great exploits. 

If you are yet to be sure if you are born of God or not, this is the right time for you to confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9-10).

And if you have given your life to Jesus, this is the right time for you start exercising yourself unto genuine love towards God, brethren and fellow humans.

IT'S YOUR YEAR OF GREAT EXPLOITS!!!

PRAYER FOCUS
1.) Father, give me the grace to always walk in Love towards you, my brethren and fellow humans.

2. Father Lord, grant me grace for obedience unto your voice from now on in Jesus' name.

Bible Reading :I John 4:6-21.

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
