Title: It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you seek everyday the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
"But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 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. Philippians 3:7-8 KJV
It is the desire of God that you seek everyday the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The term excellence denotes a quality that is unusually good, surpasses ordinary standards and of great effectiveness. The knowledge of Jesus Christ therefore gives you great effectiveness, puts in you quality that is unusually good and surpasses ordinary standards. It makes Jesus Christ exude through you His qualities of excellence. Glory be to God. As you seek this everything else you have known, done or accomplished will appear to be rubbish in comparison. As one put it "the knowledge of Jesus Christ to me is worth more than 50 million pounds".
Point of reflection: The word of God teaches us that we will find God if we seek Him with all our hearts (Jeremiah 29:13). How do we seek God you may ask? There are principally two things you need to do. First to seek Him as you study His word with readiness of mind, an open mind which is good ground for the word to work. The word of God teaches us that all scripture was given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction in righteousness. (2Timothy
3:16). It also tells about the Jews in Berea which were more honorable and searched scriptures daily with readiness of mind, to see if these things were so. (Acts
17:10-11). The second thing is to seek the face of God in prayer. His word says in Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Do you desire this? When you are ready-
Prayer of commitment:
My Father in heaven in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for me. Thank you that He was raised from the dead. I acknowledge you Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from today. I want to live for you. I reject you Satan, your demons and every influence of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now. Thank you Father that it is done. From today I will seek the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
