BETTER LIFE MESSAGE

TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL
TEXT : Colossians 1:9 “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;”
Superior to academic qualifications, connections and what we have is our understanding of the knowledge of His for our lives because it is the gateway to outstanding life.
The knowledge of His will is God’s original intention for our lives that is eternally ordained to enjoy the backing of heaven.
It is not just enough for you to be saved, more paramount after salvation is to make a personal discovery of the knowledge of God’s Will for your life. From our text, we discover that as soon as Apostle Paul got to know about the salvation of the brethren in Colosse, he wrote to them that himself and others are praying for them ‘that they might be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding’ – Colossians 1:9
The same was equally repeated in another form in Ephesians 1:17-19 to let us know how important it is for the redeemed to make a discovery of God’s original intention for his life.
Academic qualifications minus knowledge of His will is equal to confiscation of a glorious destiny.
Over celebration of certificates above the knowledge of God’s will have made many captives of the same industry they were ordained by God to be Captain over.
Do not get me wrong, academics qualifications is very good but it is to enhance the quality of your delivery in your area of calling or divine assignment.
Saul read law and became a renowned Lawyer under the leadership of Gamaliel, but on his way to arrest the saints in Damascus he encountered Christ, surrendered his life and got converted to Paul, but not without asking the most important question about the knowledge of His assignment from Jesus.
Reading all the epistles of Apostle Paul, it is very glaring that his academic knowledge makes them unique compared to the epistles written by others – Acts 9:1-6, 10-20
There is what you are trained to become (academic discipline or vocational training), there is what you want to become (ambition) but there is what you are born or created to become (Purpose). What you are trained to become and what you want to become can put food on your table, your family and a few others but with your alignment to the demands of what you are born or created to become, you are sure of affecting generations.
Bother less about the negativities of the land because as the Lord tarries contrary wind will keep on blowing against the inhabitants of the earth, but bother more about your God-ordained life’s assignment and very soon your impact will hit the global news.
BENEFITS OF PURSUING THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL
I. DIVINE PRESENCE – John 8:29, Matthew 28:20, Mark 16:20, 1Thessalonians 5:24
II. DIVINE PROVISION – Psalms 23:1-2,5a Isaiah 66:1
III. DIVINE PEACE - Isaiah 1:19, 66:12, Psalms 23:2b, 84:11,
IV. DIVINE PROTECTION – Psalms 23:4, 5b
V. DIVINE PROMOTION – Psalms 75:6
To maximize your glorious destiny as ordained by God, wisdom demands that you call on God to unveil His plan and purpose to you, be sensitive and be willing to surrender your certificates, your ambition to His will and you will never regret doing so – Jeremiah 33:3
The truth is that you are not too old neither are you too young to know God’s will for your life. Abraham and Moses encountered God at age 75 and 80 respectively while Joseph, David and Jesus knew theirs at age 17, 17 and 30 respectively.
The knowledge of His will that is understood and given a tireless pursuit guarantees noiseless access to breakthrough and topmost top.
REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS THAT ‘FOR YOU NOT TO BE STRANDED IN LIFE, YOU MUST RENEW, REFRESH AND REACTIVATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE DAILY AS PAINTED IN THE PAGES OF THE SCRIPTURES’
PRAYER POINT: FATHER, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS AND BY YOUR SPIRIT UNVEIL UNTO ME YOUR PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE WITH GRACE FOR TIRELESS PURSUIT THAT WILL TURN ME INTO A GENERATIONAL BLESSINGS. Genesis 12:1-4, 22:17-18 1Cor 15:10, Psalms 22:30,
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
