Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
The Bible says that an underserved curse does not come to rest. Such a curse is compared to a fluttering sparrow (a sparrow always moving back and forth without rest); it’ll never work because it has no root.
If you boast of having something you lack, you’ll destroy relationships. Don’t use your body as an instrument for the devil to spread lies. On the other way round, avoid falling for people who boast about having things you find hard to believe.
Like David prayed for God to show him His ways, make it a heart desire to know how God does His own works from the day-to-day activities of your life.
When God becomes Lord over your plan, He’ll direct your steps without you needing to struggle to make it.
To depart from evil, you don’t need human tactics. You just need to fear God. Reverence Him in all your ways.
In Proverbs 26:20, Solomon, by divine inspiration, tells us that to deal with a fire outbreak, focus on destroying the wood that fuels the fire to burn. And to deal with quarrels, simply avoid gossip. So God is indirectly telling us today that we must learn how to deal with issues from the root causes and not the result.
If you stay under the covering of the Most High, you’ll be provided with rest, protection and divine strength to do His work. See how David coins out how important this is in Psalm 91:1.
Nothing sustains itself. It’s divine wisdom that upholds all things. Talk about marriage, ministry, money, et cetera. You must understand how things work. It’s not just about getting that idea on paper. It is about knowing how to work it out to see it become sustained for long.
Understanding gives meaning to everything you do and have. On the outside, people may rate your life with what you have, but deep within you, you’ll know that God is the one who has blessed you to get those things in order to fulfil your purpose.
Imagine if Apostle Paul joked with his life, refused to submit to God and never wrote any of his letters we use today. Billions of people would have missed benefiting from his ministry. Neglecting divine vision or failing to supply diligence to your calling results in vice versa of Paul’s impact today. Think about this.
The devil used Peter’s compassion as a distraction to Jesus’ decision to lay down His life for all. But Jesus silenced Satan, calling Him by name. Know when to address issues by their root without blaming the people who got used to cause it.
Just as the Apostles obeyed Jesus, went out to preach and came back rejoicing for the exploits God used them to wrought on the mission field, so you’ll return to God rejoicing each day for learning obedience through the things you have suffered (or suffering now).
