RESTORATION TODAY
THURSDAY 29TH DECEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING GOD [2].
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God Micah 6: 8
There's a simple message from God that is repeated over and over throughout Scripture. He delights far more in our efforts to know Him than in any gift we might offer Him. God created us with a deep desire to be known, so it shouldn?t be difficult for us to understand that seeking Him expresses our love better than words ever could.
We begin to take advantage of our great privilege to personally know God when we receive His free gift of new life through Jesus Christ. From that moment on, we are filled with His Holy Spirit. Jesus, our Mediator, spanned the gap of sin that separated god and man. Through His death on the cross, He made it possible for us, as unrighteous as we were, to become children of the Lord of Hosts, whose holiness overwhelmed Isaiah (Isaiah 6: 1 - 7). It is impossible to truly know God apart from knowing Jesus.
If our focus is exclusively on our own personal concerns, we will learn very little about the Lord. To further take hold of the privilege Jesus has afforded us that of knowing the Father we must be interested in what interests Him. By looking carefully for His way of doing things, we can come to understand what He deems important.
We know that God has great concern for people who are walking in darkness as well as for those who are sick, suffering, and dying and have no one to help them. In order to take full advantage of our privilege of knowing Him more deeply, we must share His heart for the world and daily be involved with what He is doing all around us.
ACTION POINT:
How much more can you be involved in what God is doing around you
SCRIPTURE:
Micah 6: 6 ? 8.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, increase my capacity to love in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, give me the grace to put other people first in the name of Jesus.
3. Father, help me not to misuse the privilege of knowing You in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Esther 5, 6
Malachi 1 ? 2: 9
Revelation 20: 7 ? 21: 8.
