Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
The primary purpose of getting material possessions is not to base your identity in them, but to help you fulfil purpose. You’re not what you own, but who God calls you. The life Jesus gave you is beyond materialism. Always have this in mind.
Thank God for your body. Thank Him for how special He has made you because you’re fearfully and wonderfully made.
Solomon tells us in Proverbs 19:27 that anybody who stops listening to instruction veers off the words of knowledge. And when one stops receiving words of knowledge, obviously, his life’s quality will begin to deteriorate. Be wise and invest in knowing God more intimately.
God’s Word isn’t denying the fact that people won’t get wealth in dishonest ways. As for the money, they’ll get it (see Proverbs 13:11). But a judgement has been passed on it from heaven. And that is, such wealth will be diminished. Translated word “diminished” means to become small. Therefore, anyone who gains wealth through dishonest means will be rich in monetary terms, but his riches will be short-lived.
Proverbs 12:1 says whoever loves instruction loves knowledge. In other words, when you keep accepting corrections and guidance from the right people, you’ll grow in knowledge in every area you’re taught in.
We all need to protect one another and not tarnish the image of one another. Everyone has weaknesses, and sometimes, to deal with them, going through suffering is necessary.
God is looking for willing people. And if you’ll avail yourself to Him, He’ll do so much through You that this world will tangibly see your divine impact.
God has loaded you with so much that it’ll be a great disadvantage to you to settle for less. The more you delve deeper to know God, the more He’ll show you these great and exceeding promises. And because you see them, your life won’t be ordinary.
Stop begging and living like a hustler while there’s eternal life dwelling inside you! Get to know God more intimately, and every need you think you have will be met by Jesus without your human toils.
When the Apostle Peter wrote, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you …” (2 Peter 1:2), he didn’t end there. He continued to show us how this multiplication would occur. That is, through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Jesus our Lord. So the more you know God and Jesus, the more grace you’ll walk in and more peace you’ll enjoy, even amid turmoils in this evil age.
God chose you in Christ before the foundation of this world to be holy and blameless before Him in love. But on top of that, He predestined you to be adopted as His child through Jesus Christ. So when Jesus died and was resurrected, He paved the way for you to get closer to God.
God didn’t choose you just for no reason. No! Ephesians 1:4 says He chose you to be holy and without blame before Him in love.
