Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
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.
God hasn’t told us to worry about how He will fund those things He has said about our lives. And the beautiful thing about this is that He, God, can make evil people fund His prophecies.
Even if wicked people are rich enough to have built permanent houses, even full of luxury, in the end, all those possessions will be destroyed. But for righteous people of God, even if they are struggling to find a permanent place to live, they shall flourish where they are.
From Proverbs 20:8, you can only winnow evil with your eyes (of spiritual authority) when you sit on your throne. That means that before you can function in your highest divine authority, you must walk in the consciousness of who you are in Christ.
To see to it that God’s doctrine solidifies in your life, you must keep spending time studying the Bible. That is how it works. And by pursuing a deeper intimacy with Jesus, His Word becomes the central doctrine for your life.
