According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that
hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
under tutors and instructors, to bring him up to maturity.
This is what God does for us through the ministry of
His Word. We’re taught and tutored on our inheritance in Christ. Even though
all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21), you’ll not be able to enjoy your
inheritance, if you’re not trained in the Word. It’s the reason the Lord gave
the ministry gifts to the Church: “And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the
perfecting of the saints...” (Ephesians 4:11-12).
We read in our opening verse that His divine power
has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. What does that
mean? It means you have everything that has to do with life; they’re yours now
to enjoy! If you’re not enjoying your inheritance today as you should, it’ll be
for one simple reason; something the Lord said in Hosea 4:6: “My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge....” It’s ignorance that makes some of God’s
children walk through life, suffering and afflicted with pain.
So, refuse to be ignorant. The quality of your life
is the direct result of the measure of knowledge of God’s Word in you. You
can’t have a life greater than your understanding, and application of spiritual
truths. Keep living in, and growing by the Word, and you’ll live to your
highest potentials in life. Keep the Word in your heart and in your mouth
always, for with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. That means you
appropriate your inheritance in Christ Jesus, with your faith-filled confessions.
PRAYER: Blessed Father, I thank you for giving me
all things that pertain unto life and godliness, freely to enjoy. You’ve made
known to me the path of life; you’ve filled me with joy in your presence, and
eternal pleasures at your right hand. You’re my light, and the glory of my
life. In you I have health, prosperity, and abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: Ecclesiastes 5:18-19 Behold that
which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to
enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of
his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. 19 Every man also to
whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof,
and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this
world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the
living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
