Knowing Him

Dan.1:8-21, 11:32, Ex.3:6, Col.1:9-13

It is one thing to know God; it is another thing to know about God. Many people often claim to know God, but they only know about Him. When you claim to know Him, and all you do is know about Him, it becomes a misrepresentation of understanding. It does not matter how long you have been going to church, it does not count how many times you have read through the pages of the bible or your title in the church. Knowing God is having a personal relationship with God. Do you really know God? If you think you do, how much do you know about Him? When you know Him, He will mark you out in your generation and you will be distinct. DanielÕs knowledge of his God marked him out in his generation; it also marked him with carrying out great exploits. It all started for Daniel when he purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kingÕs delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the Chief eunuchs that he might not defile himself (Dan.1:8).It is evident in the life of Daniel that, he was a strong man; through his knowledge of God he was able to carry out great exploits. Knowing God is not an act or demonstration of emotion that flows around different ground of worship. Take time out; there is no more time for religious parade but Jesus reality. Just like Paul prayed for the Colossians, pray to God that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Col.1:9). Desire to know Him and He will deposit in you His knowledge. Dan.11:32 those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits.
