FAITH CAPSULE: Acclaimed believers that do not know God will not understand God. 

Exodus 3, Colossians 3:1:17

Are you willing to serve God indeed and in truth?
Are you an acclaimed believer of God but serving God with a lack of understanding?
Acclaimed believers that do not know God will not understand God.
Acclaimed believers serving God without knowing God will limit the experience of the manifestation of the power of God over their life.
The children of Israel know about God but not serving God. 
The Israelites lack the understanding to serve God.
The Israelites in Egypt of Pharaoh could not live life according to the word of God.
Are you one like the Israelites in Egypt that could not live life to serve God?
God creates all to exist for Him. (Revelation 4:11)
God wants all to serve Him.
God wanted the Israelites out of Egypt of Pharaoh when He spoke to Moses, “When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” (Exodus 3:12) 
God also sent Moses to Pharaoh, “Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘thus says the Lord: “Israel is My son, My firstborn. So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me…” (Exodus 4:22-23)
God is a jealous God that wants nothing from all but to be free and serve Him.
What does it mean to serve God? 
To serve God demands from all to seek Him diligently, to set minds on things above, where God is above.
The book of Colossians 3:1-2 clearly states, “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Seeking God will come with the challenges of this world.
Among challenges not to seek God diligently are:
-One that is yet to be dead in their trespasses will not rise to serve God.
-Inability to put off the body of the sins of the flesh.
-Setting the mind on worldly things more than things above will not serve God diligently.
There is no excuse to take the mind off from the things of God, to avoid missing the presence of God.
Are you willing to serve God indeed and in truth?
Have you separated yourself from worldly things you once walked with as a way of life? 
The word requires all to put to death members on the earth, such as fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. The members on earth will bring the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience. (Colossians 3:6-7)
Word also points directly for all to put off: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of our mouth, do not lie to one another. (Colossians 3:8-10)
Seek God in His word to gain an understanding of serving Him.
Be renewed in knowledge according to the word of God. 
Serve God diligently to experience the power of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to serve God with understanding diligently.
