ALL ABOUT UNDERSTANDING
Genesis 27:1-8

When action is based on the knowledge gained in the understanding of the Word of God, it becomes impossible for action not to prevail. The word of God declares in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” God is not a liar and His words are true and will never fail. Isaac realized that he was old and he did not know the day of his death. He wanted to make a lasting pronouncement by blessing his son Esau and he called him saying in Genesis 27:7, “Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the LORD before my death.” Isaac was not talking out of the blue; he recognized that with him and Esau coming with obedience, they would be qualified for gaining His presence. The Word asked for where two or three are gathered together. Isaac could have said he was going to bless Esau, but instead he proposed that he would bless Esau in the presence of God. Operating in the word of God is more than just knowing about the word of God. However, operating in the knowledge of the word will bring power into place because it is a demonstration of understanding. Paul, the apostle, was a prisoner in the process of being transported to Rome, demonstrated his knowledge gained in understanding God. In the middle of an exceedingly tempest-tossed journey, he encouraged the fellow prisoners and the ship crew to take heart against the loss of life. He went further and backed his word of encouragement when he stated, “Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me”(Acts 27:25) Indeed the journey that could have terminated their life in the middle of the sea did not materialize and all were save as declared by Paul. As a believer, if you will begin to consciously operate in the word of God with sincere and desired expectation, the word will bring about manifestation in your life. Many believers are missing it because they are saying it from the mouth and not from the heart. To many, the word of God has become only a signature tune instead of a means to tune heaven into response. Do not be limited by the lack of knowledge; be embedded by the knowledge that is in the word of God. The word of God is true and it is power. 

Prayer for today: Ancient of days, King of kings, let your Word of preservation reign over my life. Let me not be a victim of lack of understanding in any area of life.
