KNOWING GOD
THE EXCELLING WORD FOR TODAY
Daniel 11:32
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
The Amplified version presented it
this way: And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with
flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and
shall stand firm and do exploits [for God].
My fellow believers in Christ, we
are in a time when we Christians have to wake up, stand up, buckle up &
then take a forceful move to fully & confidently represent the God we
serve.
I have come to discover that many
religion in our today's Nigeria are into revival except Christianity. Even
though deep in our hearts we know that Christianity is more than a religion but
still we are the only ones experiencing deterioration. Take a look at the
Eckankers, there was a time they were ashamed to be known in the public but now
there is a revival among them, they carry their stickers all over the place.
What about the Islams, who have taken over major Christian nations in the world
today. And they are on a serious revival, still taking over lands and
territories. We the Christians what are we doing? Nothing! The only thing most
of us know how to do is talk, condemn, criticise and enjoy the pleasure of the
world. Most times we even go as far as criticising our fellow brethren trying
to make a little impact in their area of influence. God help us.
Going back to our text in the book
of Daniel. The bible says there will rise up a king that will come with an
agenda to take over the people of God. But the people of God he will succeed in
deceiving will be the ones who have already been living a kind of life that
breaks the Covenant of their God. Such people show cases the form of godliness,
they go to church, members of various denominations, most time they are workers
in their various churches but they live a life that violates the covenant of
the same God they claim they serve. The bible says these are the kind of people
that, that king will be able to deceive with flattering words. Same verse says,
but they that know their God shall be strong and they shall do exploit.
Which means that scripture has
classified the people of God into 2 classes: 1). The people who do not know
their God & 2). The people who know their God. Did you discover that the
qualification of the people who do not know their God, was based on the kind of
life style they live not based on their declarations and confessions. They
don't keep the covenant of their God.
So how do we know the ones that know
their God. The ones who know their God can not be deceived because they keep
the covenant of their God and it is working for them. It is evident in their
strength, and they are also seeing exploits from the covenant they keep not the
covenant they know.
MY BRETHREN IF YOU KNOW GOD, YOU
WILL KNOW WHAT IS NOT GOD.
Shalom!
