For taking your time to study remain blessed.
August Friday 23rd
TOPIC: MAY YOU HAVE DEEPER KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF GOD’S WORD
TEXT: Ephesians 1:15-19
KEY VERSE: Psalm 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Today’s Bible reading is a prayer from apostle Paul. Paul is speaking of revelation, inner knowing, inner understanding of the word of God, the ways of God, the truth of Christ. He is saying I am praying that you will come to that level of deep knowledge. He was saying this because he was not just a Christian; he was not just a minister; he was somebody God gave revelations of truth to. His heart understood the truth of the gospel; he knew what it meant; God caused him to know; he knew it to the second degree of understanding: “I know these things I am saying, I know these things I am teaching.” In Ephesians 3:1-4, he tells us of the revelation knowledge he had of the word of God,
“1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)”
Paul is saying, “God gave me revelation of this mystery of the gospel; I have understanding of it. Some see it in picture but I have been there.” It is like I am preaching in London, some people could be watching it on YouTube, but my audience is watching me face-to-face hence they have more detailed information of what I am saying, how I started and so on. They have a higher privilege watching me preach to them live. Paul had that privilege to be face-to-face with this truth of the gospel. God had bestowed on Paul the wisdom of the gospel, the understanding of the gospel, the mystery of the gospel, for the benefit of the gentiles. Now Paul is praying to God that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance are in the saints, which is all we are passing on to you in this Movement. To this prayer I want you to join me in saying a big “AMEN!”
Thought for the day: May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened to the truth in HOREMOW.
Song for the day: Lord teach me Your word, Lord teach me Your word…..
