DO YOU KNOW YOUR GOD?

-
Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

We talk of knowing God, hope we know what we are talking about? Selah!

Do we know what it means to know God?

Let us look at this extract from the narration of Daniel about the revelation of the end time shown to Him :

Daniel 11:32
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

These are two contrasts: Those who corrupt the covenant and those who know their God.

It has been like that from the early times. There are those who rebel against God's authority in their lives: starting from Cain to examples of others who rebelled against the covenant up till today.

The bible says they shall be corrupted by flatteries.

* form of godliness, but no power
* have itching ears
* heap on themselves false teachers
* call upon the name of the Lord but do not depart from iniquity

2Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

2Timothy 3:5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

This is why they find it hard to: Pray,  worship, study the word, evangelize. They do not know their God.

It takes the knowledge of God to do exploits.

Daniel and his three friends knew their God, thus they could stand before kings. THEY DID EXPLOITS.

Joseph knew His God, while all the storms were coming his way, he stood strong. HE DID EXPLOITS.

David knew his God. While his brothers were training for war he was left to shepherd sheep, however he learnt to know his God. HE DID EXPLOITS.

Can we talk of the apostles and the early believers they learnt to know their God. THEY DID EXPLOITS

Do you know your God?

If you don't, you are in danger of living by flatteries, many have been held in the bondage of ignorance. They have been taught lots of junk, which have imprinted erroneous ideas about themselves, people and God in their heart. Thus they fight the wrong battles, see the wrong things and live the life of bondage.

It is time that all awake to know the God they serve. Like the two wise spies we will be able to see our victory. Unlike the other ten who saw themselves as grasshoppers.

We cannot claim to serve a God we have no knowledge of.

Wisdom is revealed today, God is revealed. Ask Him for revelation. Awake and see. You will do exploits.

Glory to God.

Love
@the watcher

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
