Daily bread

*NGAT DAILY BREAD*

*DATE:* *THURSDAY 6TH OCTOBER 2016*
*THEME:* *RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE*
*TEXT:* *Colossians 3:10*

*"and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him."*

Here is where the task is for every Christian; KNOWLEDGE - knowing what has been settled in Christ, and growing in the principles of the Kingdom.

Note, no one can KNOW for you. You have to hunt for knowledge yourself, or else though you're now son, the devil will still be cheating on you through ignorance. For instance, the elder brother of the prodigal son in the Bible, though he was also a son, but he knew nothing about his rights.

I tell you a mystery, it is revelational knowledge (spiritual depth) that makes believers differ from one another. It is the level of your spiritual depth that determines the level of your command. *YOU CANNOT BE FEEDING LIKE AN ANT AND EXPECT TO MANIFEST LIKE AN ELEPHANT.*

- It is the discovery of what is written/settled in Christ that will lead to recovery of what is missing in your life.

Everything we do in the kingdom answers to spiritual depth.

- Business exploit answers to spiritual depth
- Prosperity answers to spiritual depth
- Walking in divine health answers to spiritual depth
- Success in marriage answers to spiritual depth
- Long life in the kingdom answers to spiritual depth
- To shine as star in the kingdom answers to spiritual depth
- Intellectualism has its root in the spiritual.
- The deeper you go in search for revelational knowledge, the greater the command you gain.
- That you're long in the church does not guarantee spiritual depth.
- Spiritual knowledge is not a function of age, but search. Jesus may be 12 years old, but in kingdom mysteries He can never be compared with the Sadducees (sad-you-see) and the Pharisees (far-you-see).

*Some of the Secrets of Jesus' exploits:*

1. He GREW and became STRONG IN SPIRIT, Luke 1:80
2. Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and stature, and in Favour with God and men. Luke2:52
3. He was FILLED with WISDOM, and the grace of God was upon Him. Luke2:40.

Spiritual growth is essential for anyone that desires to command exploits for God here on earth. You must grow in revelational knowledge, and then in wisdom (right applications of the revealed truth by the Spirit).

I tell you a mystery, greatness has no lineage. You are not intelligent because you criticise, but because you proffer solution. Nothing empowers like knowledge, nothing transforms like VIABLE information. Dan11:32 John 6:6

There is way we do things in the kingdom, and that you will find in the Word. The quality of your choice is at the mercy of the information available to you. It is not kneeling down and screaming that guarantee answers to prayers; your prayers are guaranteed answers when you know (knowledge) and apply (wisdom) the kingdom principle that will make it work. One of the principles is this: *DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.* Simple! Another kingdom principle for answered prayers is found in Mark 11:24, *Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE THEM, and you will have them.* simple!

CHECK THESE FEW SCRIPTURES OUT

1. The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but
the mouth of a fool feeds on folly. provs 15:14 also provs 1:20-33
2. Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but
lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. Provs 20:15
3. For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice,
And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt
offerings. Hos 6:6
4. A wise man will hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire wise
counsel, provs1:5
5. A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge
increases power. Prov 24:5
6. Then beginning with Moses and with all the
prophets, He explained to them the things
concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. Luk24:27
7. that their hearts may be encouraged, having
been knit together in love, and attaining to all
the wealth that comes from the full assurance
of understanding, resulting in a TRUE knowledge
of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself. Col2:2-3
8. The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. Prov18:15

- Nothing great is a product of guessing. Everything is based on principle.

FFT: How much of God do you know? How much of the kingdom principle do you know and apply that will guarantee you colourful flight here on earth?

*= John 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may KNOW You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.*

*AMP: And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.*

*Phil3:10-AMP:[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]*

May The Holy Spirit expand His Word in our heart in Jesus name.
