The “Epignosis” Of The Truth
…For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
God’s desire is for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge (Greek: Epignosis) of the truth. The reason for bringing salvation to all men isn’t only for them to receive it and escape eternal damnation but also to come into an intimate knowledge, a fellowship or oneness with the truth. That’s when you really start living.
For example, 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” This means you’re born of the Word; you’re the Word in flesh! Your life as a Christian is the manifestation of the Word. God wants you to come to the knowledge of this truth.
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God….” This means you can’t be disadvantaged or defeated in life; the whole world is yours; you’re an associate of the God-kind. There’s no such thing as failure or poverty when you understand this revelation. These are basic truths revealed to us in the Word; receive and accept them, and your life will be an unending stream of the supernatural.
The Bible talks about those who are “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7). These are individuals who refuse to yield to the knowledge of the truth of their inheritance and identity in Christ Jesus. As a result, they turn around in circles, and never make progress. You can break the cycle by coming into the knowledge or oneness with the truth of your success, victory, prosperity and glorious life in Christ Jesus. You need to come to the knowledge of the truth that you’re in God’s class.
PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for granting me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you. You’ve granted me the specialized knowledge that enables me to function in your perfect will, now and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – Wednesday, July 12 2017
TOPIC: YOUR POTENTIALS ARE LIMITLESS .
PASTOR CHRIS
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God (2 Corinthians 3:5).
 
The word “sufficiency” is the Greek “hikanotes,”which means competence; being qualified enough to be able. When the Scripture says, “Our sufficiency is of God,” it means our competence or ability is of God. No matter the challenges life poses before you, you’re more than able to face them and win. What a life! This has nothing to do with your human ability or connections; it’s about the Christ-life in you.
God has given you a life that makes you more than a man. There’s a divine energy working in you; it doesn’t burn out, neither does it require replenishing. Refuse therefore to be limited by your physical ability. The Holy Spirit—the source of all strength, and Spirit of might Himself—lives in you. That means your potentials are limitless! Christ’s glorious power works in you mightily to achieve results that are beyond human ability and comprehension (Colossians 1:29). Affirm this in your life always.
If you’d take advantage of this divine ability, it’ll make all the difference at school, in your work place and in whatever you do. You’ll go further, faster and do far more excellently than your physical ability can take you. Never feel incompetent, inadequate, or incapable for any task. Christ is your sufficiency; therefore, by His ability at work in you, you can do all things; you’re up to any task. Hallelujah!
Refuse to be intimidated. Fear nothing. Talk bold all the time. Declare who you are, what you have, and your ability in Christ Jesus! This is important, because if you don’t affirm it, you’ll not experience it. Keep declaring that Christ is your sufficiency; therefore, your potentials are limitless. You’re excellent, and have an excellent life. Blessed be God!
 
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your divine power that works in me mightily. Christ is my life, my sufficiency, wisdom, and righteousness. He’s made my life beautiful, fruitful, productive and sound! Blessed be your glorious Name forever. Amen.

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

HOW TO BEHAVE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
-Pastor Olumese
1 Timothy 3:14-15 (NLT), “I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon, so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and the foundation of truth.”
There are prescribed protocol for every environment. Acceptance and submission to the protocol of an environment is the spring board to greater access and privileges in any environment! Apostle Paul is the writer of our anchor scripture for today, and just in case you did not know, Apostle Paul was one of the greatest Church planters of the early church age. He planted and founded several churches and he continued to have spiritual oversight over all these churches even when he was physically bound in prison. In the latter part of our anchor scripture, Apostle Paul makes a very strong point which I want to start with. He said, “…This is the church of the living God…” It is very important that Christians everywhere (especially for us who belong to the Amazing Grace Nation), realize that the church belongs to God, we cannot come in and expect to make our own rules for how to run God’s church. Paul stresses that “…there is how to behave and conduct ourselves in the household of God.”
Although we came into church voluntarily, and although we have been born again into freedom and liberty, yet God expects us to submit ourselves to a higher standard of life and operation which is drawn from God’s word. God expects us to submit to this biblical ‘code of conduct’ willingly and in love. Galatians 5:13-15 says, “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighour as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another.” Dear friend, the scripture is very clear, we must not give into fleshly motivated behavior such as fighting, quarrelling, back biting, caucus formation or division. God expects us to work in love and build one another up in the fear of God.
FURTHER STUDY: Exodus 4:22-23 (NIV), “Then say to pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son. I told you to let my son go so he may worship me. But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.”
CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS, I KNOW THAT THE CHURCH IS GOD’S BABY. GOD DOES NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY WITH ANYONE THAT JOKES, DISTURBS OR TRIES TO DESTROY HIS CHURCH. THEREFORE I WILL BEHAVE MYSELF WISELY. I WILL WALK IN LOVE AND SHUN FLESHLY DESIRES.
ACTION POINT: Be orderly and respectful to constituted authority in your church.
