FAITH CAPSULE: The message from God is for all to live by the word of God.
1 Corinthians 13
If the acclaimed believers know God, not limited by knowing about God, darkness should not prevail over the world today.
Many gather as a believer of God but far from God, with no room for the word of God to take over the way of life.
As a believer, in your place of assumed worshiping ground, are you expecting the move of the power of God?
Expecting the power of God where there is no love for God and not keeping to the word of God is self-deception.
1 John 4:8 admonishes, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
The message from God is for all to live by the word of God.
Today, seek and give self to the message of God for all His creation.
1 John 1:5 records the message of God, “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declares to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”
God is light, and one that knows Him, not about knowing about will reflect Him.
Without a doubt, if acclaimed believers thronging ground of worship in the name of God knows God, indeed, and in truth, darkness would probably have disappeared on the face of the earth.
Today, the darkness of wickedness is hoovering the whole world.
With self-sincerity, today, search yourself as David did in Psalm 139:23-24 stating, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”
Search to know God by His word rather than to know about God.
Know God by keeping His commandment. 1 John 2:3-5 testifies, “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.”
Get to know God to live by His command.
To know about God does not know God to love as His word commands.
Love for God should not be limited to the mouth or head but be demonstrated by walking in the word of God.
1Corinthians 13:4-8 records the love of God, “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.”
The desire that God will take charge of your life.
Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to be established over your life.
