Title: The greatest weapon you can ever possess in this life is the knowledge of God in Jesus Christ, however He needs to reveal Himself to you. Let the deepest cry of your heart be to know Him.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
Hosea 4:6 KJV.
“For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
Proverbs 2:6 KJV.
“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:8-10 KJV.
The greatest thing that can ever happen to anyone in this life is to know God in Jesus Christ. It will only happen when Jesus Christ reveals Himself to you because it is from His mouth that knowledge of God will come. That is why Jesus Christ prayed in John 17:2-3: "As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (KJV).
Jesus Christ is the giver of eternal life and eternal life is the knowledge of God - it is given by God Himself. God opens Himself to people to know Him, He reveals Himself. His word also says in Romans 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” KJV. The word grace signifies activity on the side of God, that action resulting in us receiving something we did not merit, deserve or work for.
The word of God further reveals the depth of importance of the knowledge of God in Philippians 3:8-10- it teaches us to count all the honors, accolades, riches of wealth, of education etc, as dung, as rubbish in comparison to the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Glory be to God. Yearn to know God, yearn for Him to reveal Himself to you. Make this the deepest cry of your heart and as you do- He is faithful. He says you will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart. (Jeremiah 29:13).
Prayer: Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for the treasures of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I open my heart to seek you with all my heart. Today I count everything else I have to be rubbish in comparison to the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ, that I may know you Lord Jesus and be found in you Lord not having my own righteousness but that which is through the faith of Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for revealing yourself to me. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
