Who Do You Choose To Know?

The world today is chasing knowledge at a rate that is incredible. Just the number of emails that are sent in a day from organisations inviting people to seminars as the proclaim to have some piece of knowledge that will empower shows that knowledge is in great supply. The way knowledge is used proves the old adage that knowledge is power is so true. For indeed what you know and what you don't could both be killing you.

Daniel proclaims that there are benefits of having knowledge. Hosea declares that people perish for lack of knowledge. Not knowing having any working knowledge for a problem area leaves one in further trouble. Since it is accepted that knowledge is powerful, which knowledge should I pursue?

God has always desired to have people who are seeking to have knowledge that is from Him. did you know that many inventors were men and women of faith. Sir Isaac Newton considered by many one of the greatest scientists that ever lived, the man behind the laws of mechanics and gravitational laws was a deeply pious man of great faith. God promised that meditating on the Word guaranteed success in life Joshua 1:9. I don't know what you field of endeavour in life is but I want to challenge to make God the benchmark of all knowledge. Why know God? Dan 11:32b, Hos 4:6

  1. Knowing God gives strength. Life's forces have a way of taking out our energy. Seeking the Word produces strength to face life. Its through the Word that we gain insight to overcome.
  2. Knowing God empowers one to carry out great exploits. For one to stand out in life you need to know God. Moses stood out because He stood before God. Elijah had a nation in his hands including the king because He stood before God. Elisha made an axe head float because he knew His God. A person who chooses to know God, will soon attract God in his direction.
  3. Not knowing God leads to destruction. Knowing God allows you to live when others are facing destruction.
  4. Not knowing God leads to rejection. Today's society is dealing with issues pertaining to reject. many people are constantly facing rejection in many ways. Redundancies are another name for rejection. Divorce is another name for rejection. Suicide is another form of rejection. Depression is another form of rejection.

I urge that you make a life based on the Word of God. Seek to know God and He will seek you out. Jer 29:11-13, Jer 33:3 are two passages that show the power of seeking God. May 2010 be the year that you gain insight, foresight and hindsight from your walk with God. It was Noah's walk with God that brought him salvation Gen 6:1-9. Walking with God will result in knowing Him. Choose to follow God and watch as He elevates you above your generation.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
