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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
