Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
As a believer, you are already in the Spirit (see Romans 8:9). You got translated into the Spirit the moment you were saved. But even though that’s your spiritual position, walking in that realm requires intentional followership of the Word and Spirit’s leading in your life.
Dear Christian, you must conquer the fear of man in anything you are doing. When you fear people, you’ll not be yourself in your own space. Fight off this evil affecting this generation, making people live as hypocrites and liars because of what people will say about them.
Take your time to evaluate the reward of the work to be offered to you before jumping in to do it. Never take on any job without counting how much it’ll cost you to move in and do it.
When you neglect your fellowship with God, every other area in your life will begin to decrease in productivity because divine strength will be missing. Labour well in building and maintaining an excellent administrative system in your ministry, and you’ll be free from excessive administrative work distractions.
According to 2 Peter 1:8, if, as a believer, you possess and abound in virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love, you’ll not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of Christ. Simply put, you can’t possess these qualities and remain an ordinary Christian. It’s just impossible.
God doesn’t want you to suffer from spiritual myopia, which can blur your discernment to see and follow His plan for your life. He wants you to be effective in your walk with Him.
Hiding your background can sometimes be a wise decision if you want to get a high position in a place, especially work-related as a Christian. You don’t need to lie about your life; you just have to be quiet about some details in your life, for God’s sake.
You must pay a deaf ear to lies and evil talks of people. Guard your focus from being stolen by people going nowhere in life who the devil has sent to cause havoc in His children’s lives.
As a believer in ministerial training, you must allow able ministers to guide you. It’s not everything you’ll know how to do when you are under training. So, the guidance of experienced ministers can help you avoid many mistakes. Don’t be proud; be subject to godly correction.
No matter which parental figure has been absent in your life, God can fill that gap. Is it your father who failed you? God can replace Him. Is it that your mother abandoned you when you were a child? God can fill that hole in your life. Don’t live always groaning on an absent close relative in your life. God cares about you and will take care of you.
There are benefits to following the way of the Lord, but not without sacrifice. Loving God can come with demands. Some of His instructions aren’t always pleasant because they can make you very uncomfortable. But it is always worth it. If I don’t know anything about God, at least I can boast of it that He is faithful. Hope in Him.
Do you want to stand out in anything you are doing as a believer – church-related or not? You need the anointing of the Holy Ghost on your mind and hands.
