FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Seek Jesus diligently to know Him, do not settle for knowing about Jesus.<\/p>\n

John 21<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man needs to hear directly from God to know and answer to God\u2019s divine assignment. Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. Until he heard directly from God, he could not resume at the center of divine assignment. Samuel did not know God\u2019s calling when God called him three times while he was answering to Eli. After the third time of calling, Eli redirected Samuel to go and hear and answer directly to God. It is written, \u201cTherefore Eli said to Samuel, \u201cGo, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, \u2018Speak, <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong>, for Your servant hears.\u2019\u201d So Samuel went and lay down in his place.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d (1 Samuel 3:9) Samuel heard directly to know and answered to God for God\u2019s divine assignment over his life.
\nDisciples spent time with Jesus but evidently could not hear to know Him enough and could not resume the calling of divine assignment upon their life. Jesus repeatedly appeared to His disciples before they heard, saw and know Jesus to resume their divine assignment. After Jesus\u2019 resurrection, he appeared to the disciples at Sea of Tiberias where they were on fishing business. The bible recorded, \u201cBut when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus\u201d (John 21:4) <\/em><\/strong>The evidence that Jesus\u2019s disciples not knowing Him is certain that those who read and not see Jesus in the physical are certain not to know Him.
\nMany celebrate the rise of Jesus with lack of knowledge. Many spend time in the church but very far from Jesus while He is in their presence. Today, so many answers title before God\u2019s assignment but there is no evidence of engaging task of God\u2019s calling. \u00a0As an acclaimed believer of Jesus, do you know him or you only know about Him? Since the times of Old Testament to New Testament, the people of God do not know God just as God spoke, \u201cMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge\u2026\u201d (Hosea 4:6)<\/em><\/strong> Truly, it is time to seek Jesus diligently to know Him and avoid self-destroy.
\nJesus is the word of God, desire to know Him in encountering the word of God. Ezekiel encountered the word to gain knowledge of God. Ezekiel 2:1-2 recorded, \u201cAnd He said to me, \u201cSon of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.\u201d \u00a0<\/sup>Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.\u201d\u201d <\/em><\/strong>No man hears God indeed and doubts Him. Having doubt is the evidence for not been built by the word. Allow the word of God to build you. Before all that was built, Jesus was there in the beginning and there He is forever. Jesus is the Master builder. The same word that brought forth creation is still the same word that is building those who receive and believe in Him. Get to know Jesus.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today: <\/strong>Ask God for the grace to know Him more.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
