Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
You shall have what you say in prayer. But before that, you have to speak what you want to see. Is there anything in your life you don’t like? God has revealed that nuisance to you so that through you, He’ll bring redemption to it. Don’t watch things get spoilt in your life without doing anything about it.
Servant of God, you don’t handle the increase. God does (1 Corinthians 3:6). Do your part. Preach the message of Christ to all manner of people.
The more you pray and fast, the more you yield to the Lord. And the more you yield to the Lord, the more He, through the Holy Spirit, will use you to do great things in His kingdom.
Stop trivialising leaders and coveting their positions. You may not be the boss at your workplace. However, focus on serving and doing what’s godly but uncommon such as practising daily Bible reading, fasting, book reading and praying consistently. God will exalt you.
Don’t live in ignorance. Be hungry to know God more. Study the Bible yourself. Read right Christ-centred books yourself. Pray the Word yourself. Don’t be lazy and too dependent on other people to feed you spiritually. Invest in your personal spiritual growth.
Let’s stop hating people because they don’t speak good things about us. If your name as God’s child is gossiped about somewhere by evil people, rejoice because Jesus is being made known because of you. Love your enemies.
Lay aside all filthy thoughts the enemy sows in your mind when you have a grudge with someone, even in the same church or facing an issue in life. Forget about those things. Receive the implanted Word of God — that indirect teaching God is giving you as He helps you go through each life challenge. You’ll always come out better with renewed mindsets and experiential knowledge of the Lord.
The man who endures temptation will receive a crown of life ( zōē – eternal life) promised to be given by God to those who love Him. Choose to hold on firmly to the Word you’ve believed whenever you face challenges in life.
Go beyond listening to sermons and reading Christian articles. Practice what you get ministered to via these spiritual resources. They’ll help you stay conscious of your identity in Christ, despite the pressures of compromise from the world.
God doesn’t want you to be a loser in the face of life’s issues. He has made you more than a conqueror in Christ (Romans 8:37). However, you’ve got to obtain divine wisdom to manifest this reality in eternal life, which is your possession.
If you spend whatever you have now on pleasures, you’ll not have your future needs in perspective. Don’t think like there’s no tomorrow. Be visionary and thoughtful. Think about how future generations will benefit from your choices today, and out of that understanding, take refuge by saving money and investing your time and resources wisely.
Before you say something, vet the thought that comes into your mind about it. Is it godly? Will it end up ministering grace to the other person or slander him? If you are careful to do this, you’ll keep your soul from troubles that emerge because of poor word choices.
