Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
Your faith journey is like a race but with no competition with others. Why? Because each person’s destiny is different. That means there’s no need to compare your life to another person in Christ. But in this race, finishing strong is very necessary.
Those who preach the gospel should live off the gospel. It is Biblical for every preacher to be paid by the church, although some don’t take it. Do you know why? Because some sacrifice their lives just to push the gospel forward. However, it is not wrong if a preacher earns a substantial salary from the church.
Ministry isn’t for lazy people. You must make many sacrifices to keep God’s work moving forward, including financial ones. The higher the level, the higher the price to pay. Be encouraged.
Did you know that suffering for Christ is part of your faith journey? Telling believers that their faith journey isn’t always full of bliss is wise, so that they’ll not have an imbalanced view of their walk in Christ.
There is no need to live according to men’s expectations. But when you focus on living a godly life, your life will testify that Jesus transforms lives. Let the light of Christ in you shine so brightly that onlookers will find no fault in your life and give glory to God.
Don’t give excuses to God for not doing His work, no matter the issues in your life. Even in a tight environment, there is always a way to go about God’s work. Don’t cease asking God for direction when circumstances prove otherwise to what He has placed in your heart to do.
If you are a believer reading this today and God told you to start something—say a business, ministry, or any establishment—or even get married to that fantastic spouse, be rest assured that it’ll not go down the drain. Don’t give up no matter what happens!
If anybody sets aside God’s gracious work of grace through Jesus and thinks he can obey all the laws of the Old Testament in his own strength, God will judge him based on that. And even if the Israelites couldn’t follow the laws, how much more that person? Accept that you need God and live humbly under His mighty hand.
In Christ, God has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places (see Ephesians 1:3). But those blessings don’t turn into reality if you don’t first understand it and fellowship with the Spirit to show you how to bring them into reality. From today, study the blessings of Abraham and claim them over your life.
The gospel is not of human origin. It’s from God, and since God’s Word never expires or fades in impact and relevance, it’ll always be the truth. Dear friend, beware of people who wrongly judge the authenticity of the gospel.
People will confuse you if you don’t get to know God well. Spend time knowing God intimately. And don’t leave your spiritual growth to chance.
In Galatians 1:4, the Bible says Jesus gave Himself for our sins so that He might deliver us from this present evil age according to the will of God. That means a lot. Find out more in this devotional.
