Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
Romans 12:2 says that as God’s child, don’t be conformed to this (evil) world but be transformed by renewing your mind so that you can prove God’s good, acceptable and perfect will. That means you can discern God’s will well by renewing your mind with God’s Word.
God’s love is so strong that it has the power to constrain every believer to live right with Him. It is not entirely dependent on us because God is the One who first loved us (see 1 John 4:19). And because of that reality, whether we love Him back or not doesn’t diminish His love for us in any way.
In Romans 8:28, the Bible says that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose. So, if you are born again today and love God genuinely in your heart, then I’m glad to tell you that God has got you covered.
In Romans 8:19, the Bible says creation awaits the manifestation of the sons of God. In other words, the world awaits the full unveiling of the children of God in diverse areas of life. Why? Because creation has been subjected to bondage because of sin (see Romans 8:20), and it shall be liberated from that bondage when the children of God awaken to take charge of affairs within it.
Did you know that receiving the Holy Spirit in you gives you adoption unto sonship in God? Maybe you didn’t know that. But just when you got saved, you became God’s adopted legitimate child in whom His Spirit dwells (see Romans 8:9).
The Bible says that those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. The word “sons” in the Bible verse (Romans 8:14) refers to spiritually mature people, not new converts, in Christ. Meaning, maturity is necessary for discerning and following spiritual direction from God.
The Bible says that as a child of God, you are not a debtor to the flesh. So, if that’s true in your life, then the most obvious way to confirm this is that you don’t live according to the flesh. With this understanding in view, you are not a slave to earthly things many people work hard to get.
As the righteousness of God in Christ, once you live fulfilling God’s purpose, it shall not be said of you that you just existed on the face of this Earth. No! If Christ tarries in heaven, your name shall be mentioned for ages, even after your physical death.
Living in fear (reverence) of God in an increasing manner has a direct link to walking in divine obedience to God’s commands. The more you are careful to obey God’s commands, the higher you’ll increase in wisdom in Christ.
Have you battled sickness all your life, thinking it will never end? Get rid of that “permanently ill” mindset you have, and start believing in God for healing right now. Like the woman who suffered from a haemorrhage for years, be determined to get your health back in Jesus. Keep praying!
Dear one, life is long. Waiting upon the Lord builds your stature in the Spirit, renews your strength, and helps you accelerate exponentially in life without any side effects or sorrow. Don’t be in a rush in life to fulfil your dreams. Serve the God of the dreams and follow Him patiently. You’ll not be caught in the pressure to perform.
You may have seen other people die prematurely, and that made you sad, but it doesn’t have to happen to you. When you feel fragile about living, don’t give up. Instead, go to the Lord in prayer to recharge yourself in the Spirit and come back to face life with renewed strength.
