FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Knowing God or knowing about God is crucial to live for God.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acts 5<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you living with an understanding of knowing and living for the glory of God?
Understanding is what will enable one to know God.
Also, the level of understanding of God will determine how far anyone will walk with God.
From Genesis to Revelation, the importance of understanding is emphasised.
Psalm 14:2<\/strong><\/em> records, “The\u00a0Lord\u00a0looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are\u00a0any\u00a0who\u00a0understand,\u00a0who\u00a0seek God.”<\/strong><\/em>
Proverbs 4:7 <\/strong><\/em>states, ‘…Wisdom\u00a0is\u00a0the principal thing;\u00a0therefore,\u00a0get Wisdom. And\u00a0in\u00a0all\u00a0your getting, get\u00a0understanding.<\/strong><\/em>
Are you giving to the word of God with understanding?
In John 8:43, <\/strong><\/em>rhetorically, Jesus asked and answered, “Why do you\u00a0not\u00a0understand\u00a0My speech? Because you are\u00a0not\u00a0able to listen to My word.”<\/strong><\/em>
One who does not listen is not hearing the word of God repeatedly to gain understanding.
To be hearing repeatedly is the character of having faith, the evidence of understanding to know God.
Meditating on the word of God repeatedly is hearing the word of God to gain understanding of God.
Meditating is communicating with God, hearing from God, understanding God, and knowing God.
Psalm 49:3 confirms that meditation will give understanding, stating: \u201cMy mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
Gaining understanding by hearing (meditating with God) will give understanding.
Meditating is rooted in the heart.
One with understanding will draw from the heart.
Proverbs 20:5<\/strong><\/em> informs, “Counsel in the\u00a0heart\u00a0of man\u00a0is like\u00a0deep water, but a man of\u00a0understanding\u00a0will draw it out.”<\/strong><\/em>
Again, understanding is important for gaining from the heart that is well kept, not occupied with evil.
Proverbs 4:23 <\/strong><\/em>warns, “Keep\u00a0your\u00a0heart\u00a0with all diligence, for out of it\u00a0spring\u00a0the issues of life.”<\/strong><\/em>
A failure to consciously keep the heart diligent will open one to becoming a victim of evil.
Regardless of the title, as a religious one, or having been engaging life as a believer, will not deny any attempt of evil to occupy the heart.
Judas walked with Jesus but was not able to shut his heart against the devil, as Jesus testified.(John 13:2)<\/strong><\/em>
The gathering of believers could not deny Satan from gaining entrance into the heart of Ananias and Saphira.
Peter responded to Ananias and said,\u201cAnanias, why has\u00a0Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit…” (Acts 5:3)<\/strong><\/em>
It is understanding to keep the heart with all diligence.
With understanding, it is to seek God to find God.
Seeking God without understanding will not find God.
With understanding, seek God in His own way to find Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29<\/strong><\/em> informs the condition it takes to find God: “But from there you will seek the\u00a0Lord\u00a0your God,\u00a0and\u00a0you will find\u00a0Him\u00a0if you seek Him with all your\u00a0heart\u00a0and\u00a0with all your\u00a0soul.”<\/strong><\/em>
The condition to seek God and find Him is: seeking Him with heart and with soul, the character of seeking Him diligently.
It is understanding to seek God diligently to find God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today: <\/strong>Ask God to live a life of understanding be established in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
