Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
God has unlimited provisions for you. But He primarily wants to develop a deep intimacy with you so that everything He plans to bless your life with will spring out of the consistent love fellowship you have with Him.
You’re secure following God’s patterns and ways because the Ancient of days know what is best for you. Trust in Him.
Enough of self-consumption. Learn both to receive God’s love and give to others also. Esteem others better than you. In that way, you’ll value them and focus less on their weaknesses.
Reading Proverbs 18:9, Solomon says that the one who’s slack in his work is a brother to one who destroys. In other words, the lazy person has a similar lifestyle to that of a destroyer of an entire company.
Knowing God intimately isn’t reserved for some sect of Christians or pastors. You can know God for yourself also, dear believer. Insist on that every day.
When Jesus was around physically, He didn’t fast like how John the Baptist. Those who followers His ministry also ate a lot. But He said that when He’s gone, they’ll fast. So today, fasting is a necessity to the child of God. Why? Because it’ll help you commune with Jesus.
In Matthew 7:12, Jesus says what I call the golden rule in scripture, which says, “… in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”. That means, you ought to be reciprocated in your demands of people’s treatment.
Do your work heartily unto the Lord. Take that business you’re employed in as yours and work with all your heart as if you’re the boss. And as you serve, God will recognise your labour and reward you bountifully.
Sometimes, when God is building you up, He’ll put you in hiding season. He will intentionally make some people leave your life in order to reduce monitoring eyes upon you while He builds you up in secrecy.
You cannot fulfil your divine mandate with your human strength. That’s why Christ lives in you. Commune with Him consistently, and that divine enablement to excel in what God has called you to do will begin manifesting in multiplication.
God is so mindful of you. What makes you think God has abandoned you? If He gave up Jesus for you, what shows He can’t satisfy that need of yours?
Just as Christ forgave us when we didn’t deserve forgiveness, be patient enough to forgive your loved ones. For love is patient.
