Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
Your faith in Christ isn’t only for personal use. It’s also for sharing. Check within yourself and see what God has placed in there that you can’t see. So that by discernment, you’ll grow in sharing your faith for the benefit of many.
Ministry isn’t all about serving in the church. It’s all about dedicating what you’re doing unto God, whether in church or not.
Humans, by nature, are usually selfish and naturally desire things destructive to God’s purposes in their lives. Don’t make God force you to obey Him. Just submit yourself to Him even if you don’t understand His leading. He’ll make your life glorious.
In Galatians 2:20, he said he had been crucified with Christ. Paul didn’t say, “we are crucified with Christ.” That statement was a personal confession he made out of the bowels of his spirit. And that doesn’t mean the scripture doesn’t apply to us Christians. No, it does. However, it demands that we’ll lay our minds to it.
Don’t receive God’s Word that confronts your wrong strongholds, and keep holding on to them. You’ll perish if you do that because it’ll always spark quarrels between you and the people you love. And if you don’t take care, you’ll lose God-made relationships only to realise later that you were wrong. Be careful!
God’s will for you to prosper through meaningful work. So employ all the resources from heaven to do your assignment.
Don’t give in your body as an instrument for unrighteousness (Romans 6:13). Know that God has given you this body first to glorify Him with everything you use it to do (1 Corinthians 6:20) and to fulfil your divine mandate. Care for it well, not because of others, but because it’s God’s temple (1 Corinthians 6:19).
There are several people under the control of the devil. They want to stop sinning and committing fornication but just don’t know how. Jesus came to rectify that problem. He’s the solution to every man’s challenges. He’s the only one that sets people free from every guilt and condemnation (John 8:36). Will you come to Him today?
God doesn’t want you to be sick. No, not at all. Never say in your heart that that sickness you’re battling with comes from God. No! It doesn’t. It is not God-sent but can be God-used to make you rest after a long time of constant work with neglect of prayer and fasting.
God doesn’t want a struggling person to restore another sin-struggling person. So in Galatians 6:1, He inspired Paul to write that anybody in Christ caught in sin should be restored by only spiritual people. But there is an additional caution for those who’ll do it. That they should consider themselves, lest they should also be tempted. Wow!
Paul says in Ephesians 4:25 that we must put away lying. But why? Because we’re members of one Body – the Church. If even your body can’t lie to you, why should you lie to another Christian?
You may not serve directly in your church. However, become a part of the ongoing building of the global church by seeing and glorifying Jesus in all that you do.
