SEEK KNOWLEDGE

Text :  2 Peter 1:2.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

It is clear from the  text above that Grace and Peace can and should actually multiply (increase) in a believer's life. This multiplication can only come about through knowledge. And not just any knowledge but the very knowledge of God.

It is possible you have knowledge of many things, but the only knowledge that can bring about the multiplication of Grace and peace upon your life, is the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. 

One of the gifts that God bestows on any one who is in Christ Jesus is Grace. In fact, we are saved by grace. Ephesians  2:8 says *For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:* Grace is the very initiator of your salvation. 

In the same vein, Jesus assured us of His peace in our lives when God's knowledge  enters into our minds and our hearts.  Jesus said, *"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"* (John 14:27). 

So it is clear that Jesus is more than willing to supply you with His Grace and Peace on a progressive note. Therefore, you have the singular duty of seeking God's knowledge in order to access this package. 

Note that valuable knowledge like God's knowledge will not just drop on your laps, you have to seek for it. Hear what Proverbs has to say about this:

Yea, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes 
knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:3-6.)

The Lord gives wisdom, ask Him for it. He said in James  1:5 that *If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.* 

Knowledge and understanding proceed from the mouth of the Lord. To seek Knowledge is to seek God's words, His instructions for your life.

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...
