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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
