Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
Dear one, God is bigger than the highest height of imagination you can think of Him. He is bigger than the most prominent dream you want Him to fulfil in your life. He can do more than what you ask or imagine.
Are you saved? Then get rid of all those condemning thoughts about God in your mind and approach Him as your loving Father. Are you not saved? Embrace the saving power of Jesus today by confessing Him as Lord and personal Saviour, so He will come and dwell in your heart by faith. You are never too far from God. Come to Him today!
The Bible says in Ephesians 2:14 that Jesus Himself is your peace. But how true is this? In that same verse, it is written that Jesus broke down the wall of partition between man and God when He died to take away the sin of the world (see John 1:29). And that was signified when the curtain that separated the Holy of Holies from the Most Holy Place got torn apart (see Matthew 27:51).
When you keep in remembrance how wretched you were before Christ saved you, it will be easy to live ever grateful unto the Lord of glory for giving you this eternal life you are enjoying today.
Many people preach salvation as an escape ticket away from hell. But how many times have you heard it preached as a gift from God to you? Ephesians 2:8 tells us that we, believers, are saved by grace through faith. That’s not all. It says this salvation is not of ourselves. Instead, it is the gift of God.
What comes to mind when the Bible says God is rich in mercy? Is it merely Him forgiving your sins and the sins of the whole world? Yes, that’s true. But it goes beyond that.
Dare to proclaim the gospel of Christ without fear. Do not fear what other people say about you because of your doctrine. If what you are preaching is the truth, carry on, minister. God sees your labour. Don’t give up!
It is not always easy. But with God on your side, it is well with you. Witness Jesus well wherever you are, no matter the situation. If he was with Paul and had helped his work remain relevant in this generation, then indeed, He has not neglected your secret labours. He will reward you well.
Just because you are born again doesn’t mean your life is going to be all flashy. Sometimes, bad things might happen that can pose severe threats to your faith, but that doesn’t mean God has left you. Learn how to comport yourself in honour of God, no matter what happens
Dear father, do not exasperate your child. In other words, do not intensely frustrate your child. If you keep doing something the child doesn’t like that is meant to fulfil your selfish need instead of the good of all parties involved, stop it. You represent Christ in the home. Be careful to do that work diligently.
If you don’t hate your body but love and cherish it, why don’t you love your wife so well that you’ll give her everything she needs, including your body and affection? God knew a time would come when believing husbands may falter in these things. That is why He institutionalised this command in the scriptures.
In marriage, the husband ought to submit to Christ, as the wife submits to him. But in God’s kingdom, it’s all unto Christ and one another in the same divine reverence. Why that?
