SEEK KNOWLEDGE 2

Text :  2 Peter 1:3

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.

God's divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness. However, you can only access these things through knowledge. 

Have you ever wondered why some Christians are not living a life that shows the nature of the God they claim to carry?

Or, have you ever wondered why you are not really leading a life  that depicts His godliness? Well, the answer is simple, our text says, His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness *through the full knowledge of Him* who called us.. So, it's clear that knowledge is key.

 *It is one thing to have everything you need, it is another thing to lack the knowledge of everything you have.* 

Anyone that lacks the full knowledge of the God that called him will lack the power to live the life expected of him.

This is why second Timothy 3:5 says some believers (so called)  will hold on to an outward form of godliness but deny its power thereof. 

Godliness has little or nothing to do with going to church, leading any group in church or performing any of such activities. At best, these can only be regarded as religion. But godliness has everything to do with how your everyday life pleases the Father.

The more of the Father you know,the  more of His commandments you will obey and the more your life will bring pleasure to Him.

Lack of knowledge will ultimately lead to destruction. Hosea 4:6  says: "My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge of me" Because you rejected that knowledge, I will reject you as a priest for me. Since you forget the Law of your God, I will also forget your children.

Bible  Reading:

2 Peter.1:1-15.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to seek you like hidden treasures and help my heart to retain your knowledge.

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...
