IT’S TIME  TO  KNOW  HIM FOR  YOURSELF  

You know your mother,and father; you know your friends;you know your family;you know your significant other,even your pastor, Bishop,and priest . But do you know God personally ?

How come you know others, more than you know the Almighty GOD, Creator, and CEO of the universe ,your Heavenly FATHER.

LET’S SEE IF YOU KNOW HIM,ANDROID HOW MUCH YOU KNOW HIM.

“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes”. (1 John 2:3‭-‬11 NKJV).

After you believe,and accept Jesus , then it’s time to know Him. To know Him is to love Him,to trust Him,to depend on Him,to have a relationship with HIM?

HE SAID:

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! (Psalms 46:10 NKJV).

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified”,(Romans 8:26‭-‬30 NKJV).

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life”. ( 1 John 5:14‭-‬15‭, ‬18‭-‬20 NKJV).

DO YOU KNOW HIM?

“For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day”.(2 Timothy 1:12 NKJV).

LET’S DO AS THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID ,AND DID.

“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may KNOW  HIM  and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you”.(Philippians 3:7‭-‬15 NKJV).

Is God the most important person in our lives?
+Do we love God more than anyone or anything, and would we do anything for Him?
+God is with us all the time, but the only times we spend with Him is when we direct our attention to Him in Love, Thanksgiving, Praise, Worship, Obedience and such like things.
Colossians 1:17-18
17 And he (Jesus) is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he (Jesus) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
PREEMINENCE: Before all and above all.

FINALLY

“Therefore by their fruits you will know them. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’  And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:  and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:  and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”(Matthew 7:20‭-‬27 NKJV).

+Let’s continue to guard our relationship with the Lord by keeping Him before all and above all.
Hallelujah it His Holy Name.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

DESTROYED  BY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE  

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. “The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame. They eat up the sin of My people; They set their heart on their iniquity. And it shall be: like people, like priest. So I will punish them for their ways, And reward them for their deeds. For they shall eat, but not have enough; They shall commit harlotry, but not increase; Because they have ceased obeying the Lord “. {Hosea 4:6‭-‬10}.

“Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they  have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled. But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness. Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture, And in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat. Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, And sin as if with a cart rope; That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work, That we may see it; And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, That we may know it. ” Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those  who  are  wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man! Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So  their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them And stricken them, And the hills trembled. Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still. He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar, And will whistle to them from the end of the earth; Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly”. {Isaiah 5:13‭-‬26}.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether  it be evil. 

1Corinthians 3:13-15

“Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 

If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 

•In Christ we have all that pertains to life and godliness. 

Colossians 3:23

And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. 

•Knowing that God’s work done His way will never lack His supply. 

•Put the Love of God in everything you do, and in everything you do put your Faith in God. 

•You will reap many rewards in this life and in the life to come.

•Continue to let the Word of God be the standard for your life. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

TRADITIONS could lead you astray

Worshipping God is a daily occurrence,which is not limited to Saturday or Sunday only. So the question is: Who do you follow ? God or man. Who do you believe and trust ? God or man. Whose book are you reading ? God or man.The traditional practices of men over the years has interrupted the Power of God among His people.
Most folks have allowed men to teach them the wrong things,when JESUS who died for us says in John 14:26
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you”.
Mark 7:13 states,that men,
Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition…
The traditions of men are all  unsanctioned (unapproved by God)
practices in the church.
These traditions has caused God’s people to think wrong, believe wrong, speak wrong definitely act wrong.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom,  but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
In Mark 16:15~18 ,Jesus spoke of miracles, signs, wonders and the Supernatural Power of God that will follow believers. The disciple taught the Word of God and preached the Gospel and Jesus confirmed the Word with signs following.
Let’s all be careful not to mixed the Word of God with the traditions of man, but follow it to the letter as the Lord has stated it.
John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater  works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Children of God,have a personal relationship with God through His only begotten Son JESUS,and the Holy Spirit that lives inside of you,by obeying what Romans 12:1-2 says,
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Allow God to make decisions for you,He tells us in Proverbs 3:5-7 to :
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. When you follow man instead of God,you are leaning on your understanding,and not God. If you don’t know JESUS or never accepted nor acknowledge Him as the only begotten Son of God,who is the way to God,then use this opportunity,and go to the top of this blog, then click unto the salvation page, and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead, and direct you for the rest of your life.

WHEN GOD HAS YOUR BACK

When you know that your God is omnipotent, immutable, unchanging, unfailing and everlasting then you will know that you are undefeated, unstoppable, an overcomer and more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus. When God has your back the things you use to worry about and fear, He takes it away and liberates you from those curses.

To be liberated from the curses of fear, doubt and lack, etc. you must first:

  • Submit to God and resist the devil so that he can flee. Then draw near to God so He can be near to you (James 4:7-8).
  • Second. To get up close and personal you must confess as 1st John 1:9 says. If you confess your sins He is faithful and just to forgive you your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.
  • Third. Cast all our burdens and cares on Him (God) because He cares (1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 55:22).
  • Fourth. God’s word says to present your body to Him and renew your mind (Romans 12:1,2).

For Him to have your back you must renew your mind; stop doing things the old way by depending or trusting on others and depend and trust on Him only. Do this so that you can know without a doubt that He is omnipotent, omnipresent, immutable, infallible, unchanging, unfailing, and everlasting. Then you will be able to walk in righteous undefeated, unstoppable, an overcomer and more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37).

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.
