FAITH CAPSULE: Make it a prayer point to know God more.
Luke 13:22-35
In this season, make it a prayer point to be enabled by God to know Him more.
God creates all to live for His glory, to exist for Him. (Revolutions 4:11)
Do you know God?
All should know God more.
No one should be limited in knowing God.
Seek God diligently to find Him and know Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
There is no limit to knowing God.
Answering to a title does not exempt one from knowing God more.
To know God should not be only in the mouth, but in the heart.
Determination is not enough to know God more, but one with desire is bound to know God more.
Anyone with a desire will strive to know God more.
Luke 13:24 encourages, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.”
Acts 24:16, “Paul says he always strives…”
Know the word of God to know God more.
One who does not know the word of God will not live for God to answer as a believer.
Upgrade knowing God to live by the word of God.
Answering as a believer is not evidence of one who lives by the word of God.
Answering as a believer and not living by the word of God is the same as claiming to be a Christian and not living as Christ-like.
Acts 11:26 made all know the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Many know about God but do not know God.
One who does not know God has no faith to live for God.
Knowing the word of God is knowing God.
The word of God is the source of having faith
The opposite of Good faith is bad faith.
Good faith will be hearing and hearing the word of God, the source of faith, to do what is right and good before God.
Bad faith is not hearing the word of God, not living for God, but living a life of wickedness.
1 Timothy 6:12 admonishes those who will hear and take to the word of God, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
Strive to have the good fight of faith, not to miss eternal life.
In the new month, week, or this day, ask God to enable you with wisdom and understanding to strive to know Him more than ever.
Be exposed to the word of God to know how to live life for the glory of God.
Why not have a desire to know God more?
Anyone assuming knowing God more is setting themselves up to become a victim of the wicked world.
Prayer for today: Pray that to live by the word of God, the character of one giving oneself to the word of God becomes your way of life.
