THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE

The knowledge of God breaks us free from all captivity. When Daniel saw in the word of God that they had overstayed in captivity, he rose up with that knowledge and went to God in prayer (See Daniel 9). The Bible says that we are in captivity because we do not have knowledge and as such, we are perishing (See Isa. 5:13 and Hosea 4:6).

We must understand that it is not our busy-ness that makes things happen, whether religious or not, but we should sit down at the feet of Jesus and learn of Him. Jesus speaking to Martha in Luke 10:41,42 said that she was anxious and troubled about many things BUT only one thing is needful and that was what Mary was doing: learning, seeking to know God more.

Our achievements and qualifications can do no good either, knowing God is utmost. Apostle Paul, in spite of his educational qualifications, religious portfolio, background, etc said that all of that is counted as loss compared to knowing Christ. In 1 Corinthians 2:2, he boldly said that he does not want to know any other thing except Christ. He made it his determined purpose to know God more intimately (See Phil. 3:10)

As we read in 2 Pet. 1:2, God's blessings (grace; all necessary good; spiritual prosperity; freedom from fears, agitating passions and moral conflicts, etc) are gotten in an increasing proportion through THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.

God says He desires knowledge and not burnt knowledge (Hos. 6:6). So, let us follow on to know the Lord (Hos. 6:3). I love you now and always.

Happy New Year readers! It's been an amazing one year break. It was totally worth it. I am really grateful to God for everything. To Him be praise and glory, now and forever more. Amen This year, I have made up my mind to serve you diligently. The goal is spiritual growth. The Bible says in Ephesians 4 that the Body of Christ grows as each member does his part in love. I'll make sure to do my part through this blog and my sincere prayer is that we all will grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ. Last year, I found out that there's a lot of great stuff on the internet that can help us grow as Christians spiritually, and otherwise. So I'll be serving us with lots of these awesome stuff. I'll save you the stress of searching; just stick with me on this blog and all bring all the great stuff here for you. That said, I really do hope that we'll all have an amazing year. I love you very much, especially for your commitment to this blog since 2011. I a

DOWNLOAD POST HERE              I have a very tall and handsome cousin. He is well-built and fit. He is in very good shape and does a lot of exercise that’s because he gyms every evening. I am not a sporty person, though I am thinking of trying out at something new. I remember when I was in secondary school. Every Saturday morning, before the morning prayers,

Thankfulness

Oh! How much we love the words THANK YOU, PLEASE and SORRY. It is part of etiquette and politeness. I have a friend who is very good at it. She says these words as frequent as she says I. This little act of courtesy really moves me. I like it a lot. Though it was a little bit hard for me to practice and also took a long time for me to get used to it. When I finally did, I felt wonderful. It was nice and pleasing to be around people saying those three things clearly and boldly. I gained the respect and friendliness of a lot of people. A good attitude begins with gratitude. As these three things are essential in our daily dealings with our neighbours so are they important in our relationship with God. In fact they are the most important words in our prayer. Remember our pattern of prayer should be like this: Thank God for His providence (THANK YOU) Ask for Forgiveness (SORRY) State your request (PLEASE) Conclude with thanking Him again Yes, it is the same thing. After all, y
