Knowing God

Day 297

Reading: 2 Peter 1:1 - 2 Peter 3:18

Many of us have a desire to know God. Even more than the desire to know God is the desire for a miracle in the lives of many. To hunger for a miracle more than hungering for God, Himself is a crime. It's the mistake of the church today. We have preached every message and the believer has listened to every message on how to get, yet God's desire from the beginning of time has been for fellowship. God desires that we know Him. My purpose here on earth is to know God and Him alone. 

Peter encourages the believer to understand that grace and peace is tied to one's knowledge of God. Grace and peace are multiplied as you increase in the knowledge of God. Peter continues to tell the believer that God has already given us everything that is for life by God's power. However, Peter makes the believer understand that seeing the manifestation of the promise of things are tied to your knowing God. 

God desires to reveal Himself to you. God desires that we hunger for Him. God desires that we see the things He has laid up for us. Jesus spoke of a man selling everything of his to get a treasure that was better than what he had. The problem we have today is that many believers are lazy. They don't want to seek God. They don't understand that God has promised that those who call on Him will see great and mighty things.

Paul while in a prison wrote a letter to the church in Phillipi. He expressed his desire and hunger to know God Phillipanis 3:10. Here is the gentleman who has written most of the New Testament telling other believers that he was hungry to know God and all that God is. May I ask you where is your hunger for the revelation of God? God desires to reveal Himself to us. 

The Names of God are a revelation of Himself. God desires to reveal Himself to us that we may understand who He is. Hunger for God!

Memory Verse: 2 Peter 1:3

Decree: 

2 Peter 1:19
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. (italics mine)

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 ...
