EPISODE 617 – SEEK AFTER KNOWLEDGE

Your salvation and walk in glory is according to the revelation of the knowledge of God which is at work in you.

Take a look at the New Living Translation:

“My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. Since you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children.”

A practical example was when Goliath came out each morning to challenge and taunt the Israelites and the Lord God Almighty. None of these trained soldiers had the audacity to confront Goliath.

These soldiers were skilful and trained for battle. They knew how to wield every weapon in their possessions yet they couldn’t dare to confront Goliath. Their military knowledge wasn’t enough.

It took a young boy David, who understood the covenant and the power of the Name of the LORD.

He said to Goliath, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1 Samuel 17:45).

The audacity of David was by the knowledge of God which was in him. He was one who passionately longed after God and desired to share in His intimate knowledge.

He said, “Lord, I passionately love you and I’m bonded to you! I want to embrace you, for now you’ve become my power!” Psalm 18:1 (TPT).

You don’t perish by the lack of knowledge in science. You perish when you lack the knowledge of God.

The knowledge of God in you brings you into the full understanding and possession of the glorious inheritance in Christ Jesus.

When you become born again, you don’t automatically grow into the full knowledge of God. As I always say, you must be intentional about your growth in the knowledge of God.

You have to intentionally seek after the knowledge of God. To know God is not a one-time experience, but a lifetime journey.

The more you grow in knowledge and understanding of God, the more you develop the desire and longing to know Him more. 

Those who don’t see the need to pursue the knowledge of God are those who have not yet come to the place of understanding.

The opening verse says the mouth of fools pursue foolishness. It takes a heart of understanding to seek after God’s knowledge.

“Lovers of God hunger after truth, but those without understanding feast on foolishness and don’t even realize it.” Proverbs 15:14 (TPT).

You can see how Paul even in his maturity still desired and remained continued in his pursuit to know God. (Philippians 3:10).

Make it a priority to seek after the knowledge of God in this new month.

Remain blessed.
