Memorise: Because
that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto
them. Romans 1:19..
Read:
Matthew 11:25-27.
25 At that
time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All
things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the
Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever
the Son will reveal him.
Message
The scriptures
make it clear that it is possible to acquire the knowledge of God. As a matter
of fact, God has systematically and painstakingly revealed Himself to humanity
through nature and through the Bible. The Bible teaches that God can be known,
and that it is possible to have the perfect knowledge of God through Jesus
Christ His Son. Our Lord Jesus revealed that eternal life lies in knowing God
and the person of Jesus Christ (John 17:3). Many people conclude in error that
God cannot be known because He is beyond human imagination. It must be admitted
that God cannot be fathomed by the imagination of man. We cannot form a mental
image of the infinite and eternal God. It is for this reason that God sent us
His only begotten Son, so that by beholding Him, we might understand the nature
and the character of God. Jesus came to give us the perfect knowledge of God.
Hear what Jesus said to Philip in response to his request for a revelation of
the Father in John 14:9: “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” Having the perfect
knowledge of God does not imply having a complete and exhaustive knowledge of
Him. It does not mean knowing all of His essence, nature and attributes. Simply
put, God is past finding out, but we can know Him by faith to the extent that
He has revealed of Himself in His Son and through the Scriptures. No man knows
the Father except the Son and whomever the Son shall reveal Him to (Luke
10:22). Jesus is the incarnate Word of God and the manifestation of His person
and glory (Hebrews 1:3). Accepting Jesus as Master, Lord and Saviour is a
necessary first step towards knowing God Almighty. ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR
LIFE TODAY! Daniel 11:32 makes it clear that the people who do know their God
shall be strong and do exploits. I therefore decree in the Name that is above
all other names, that as you endeavour to have the perfect knowledge of God
through the diligent study of His word, you will receive the power to do
exploits physically, spiritually, materially and financially in Jesus’ Name.
Key Point: The
knowledge of God produces righteousness that brings salvation, peace, joy, and
prosperity.
