Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
While it is laborious to sit to read and study scripture, hearing it for yourself, especially through audio Bibles, throughout your day can nourish your spirit so much. Keep studying the Word. But study to encounter God, not to just know it.
You may ask whether people in authority need prayers. After all, don’t they have enough money and security? Yes, they do. Why? If you don’t pray for them, their minds will start conceiving evil thoughts. And when such thoughts get implemented, people will suffer, including you.
As a minister of the gospel, don’t let your hope be in people to take care of you. Don’t do that at all! Hope in God! Learn the secret of being content in any and every situation. Don’t give up thinking visionary thoughts. But hope in God to lift you!
Dear friend, there is a high calling for you. But before you get there, you must adapt to godly change as the Spirit leads you – both in thoughts and physical exploits.
When the devil tempts you and tries to make sin enticing to you in your mind, you must rise quickly to resist him steadfastly in the faith. Why? Because he is after awakening your sinful flesh (which God had put to death) and also misleading you away from God’s ways to the way of death(destruction).
What we need to reign in life is in Christ, not in the world. And what are they? The abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. You cannot gain any of these if you’re an unbeliever.
What if I tell you that the one you are afraid to approach because of something wrong you did actually long for you to come to him? That is God’s case now with humanity. Because Jesus has paid for your sin, you have peace with God. What the Almighty held against you has been borne by Christ on the cross. So you are justified.
Jesus does not want you to live a life full of struggles with sin. He wants a great life for you, whereby you’ll be bent on living on purpose and making a godly impact in this perverse generation. But that can’t be possible if you don’t come to Him. Sin has nothing good to offer you but death. Don’t let the devil deceive you about that.
Anybody who is not born again is darkness according to truth from scripture. And in addition to that, such people are bound to be there by the enemy’s power of darkness (see Colossians 1:13). But there is good news. Jesus, the light of the world, has come to redeem everyone trapped in darkness.
Only Jesus can give you a meaningful life. Without Him as Lord and Saviour in your life, your life cannot be like how He created you to live. Stick to His principles in His Word. He is with You.
Whenever you have the opportunity, contribute to a larger divine vision monetarily. Your seed will go ahead to impact others, and you’ll additionally get a heavenly reward for your generosity.
If restoring your relationship with God costs the life of Jesus, then God deeply cares about you.
