RESTORATION TODAY
WEDNESDAY 28TH DECEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING GOD [1].
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made comfortable unto his death. Philippians 3: 10.
While we meet a tremendous number of people in our lifetime, we sometimes feel particularly privileged to know certain individuals, such as a godly role model, a childhood hero, or someone who was there to help in our time of need. Still, as wonderful as it is to have these distinctive people in our lives, the greatest privilege of all is to know God. Even knowing the most exceptional people can never bring us the joy and contentment for which we yearn. And yet, we frequently chase after worldly acceptance because we forget the treasure of truly knowing the living God.
Oftentimes people get saved and remain satisfied with the first step knowing a few facts about God is enough for them. If they are asked, ?Do you know God?? most will say that they do. But there?s a vast difference between knowing facts about God and personally relating to Him. Believers should continually be growing closer to the Father always learning more about who He is and what He considers important.
When people go through life depending on themselves, they never really know God. He will reveal Himself to a heart that is honest and transparent, not to one that's full of pride and arrogance. It is in our brokenness and helplessness that we discover who the Lord is. Do you have a genuine hunger in your heart to know God If so, ask Him, Who are You? What are You like?? then open yourself to Him, not for His sake He already knows you perfectly but for your own sake. By spending time with Him, you?ll discover you are privileged indeed.
ACTION POINT:
It is a privilege to know God.
SCRIPTURE:
Philippians 3: 7 ? 11.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, help me to know You more in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, manifest Your Favour in my business in the name of Jesus.
3. Father, manifest Your Favour in my family in the name of Jesus.
4. Lord, manifest Your Favour in my situation
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Esther 3, 4
Zechariah 13: 7 ? 14: 21
