OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH GOD BY: PST EA ADEBOYE DATE: Thursday February 19

THEME:
PERFECT KNOWLEDGE OF GOD


Memorise:
Because that which may be known of God
is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto
them.
Romans 1:19
Read: Matthew 11:25-27
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast
hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes.
Matthew 11:25
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Matthew 11:26
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no
man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither
knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to
whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Matthew 11:27
Bible in one year
Ezekiel 1-3
Revelation 1

Message:
The scriptures make it clear that it is possible to
acquire the knowledge of God. As a matter of fact,
God has systematically and painstakingly revealed
Himself to humanity through nature and through the
Bible. The Bible teaches that God can be known, and
that it is possible to have the perfect knowledge of
God through Jesus Christ is Son. Our Lord Jesus
revealed that eternal life lies in knowing God and the
person of Jesus Christ (Matthew 17:3).

Many people conclude in error that God cannot be
known because He is beyond human imagination. It
must be admitted that God cannot be fathomed by the
imagination of man. We cannot form a mental image
of the infinite and eternal God. It is for this reason
God sent us His only begotten Son, so that by
beholding Him, we might understand the nature and
the character of God. Jesus came to give us the
perfect knowledge of God. Hear what Jesus said to
Philip in response to his request for a revelation of
the Father in John 14:9:

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that
hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest
thou then, Shew us the Father?”

Having the perfect knowledge of God does not imply
having a complete and exhaustive knowledge of Him.
It does not mean knowing all of His essence, nature
and attributes. Simply put, God is past finding out, but
we can know Him by faith to the extent that He has
revealed of Himself in His Son and through the
scriptures.

No man knows the Father except the Son and
whomever the Son shall reveal Him to (Luke 10:22).
Jesus is the incarnate Word of God and the
manifestation of His person and glory (Hebrew 1:3).
Accepting Jesus as Master, Lord and Saviour is a
necessary first step towards knowing God Almighty.

ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY!
Daniel
11:32 makes it clear that the people who do know
their God shall be strong and do exploits.
I therefore
decree in the Name that is above all other names,
that as you endeavour to have the perfect knowledge
of God through diligent study of His Word, you will
receive the power to do exploits physically,
spiritually, materially and financially in Jesus’ Name.
Key Point:
The knowledge of God produces righteousness that
brings salvation, peace, joy and prosperity.
