Wisdom For The Day Devotional 22 August 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Know God Intimately
TOPIC: Know God Intimately (TREM Devotional 22 August 2023)
“…but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” Daniel 11:32 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
If you take a close look around you today, you would notice that the activities of the enemy seem to have increased. But the good news, however, is that the grace of God abounds even much more. This is the best time for the believer to be alive. While it is getting darker in the world, it is actually getting brighter in the church. What that simply means is that you have enough grace to navigate your way in spite of what you see around you.
I encourage you not to spend your energy and time seeking things. Seek God! And I can assure you that the more of God you know, the more of His grace that overflows into your life. At that level, your capacity is enlarged, and you can do things that others cannot dare. Grace brings you to a level of holy audacity that will shock your world. David was able to confront Goliath in his days because of what he had developed capacity for. He had come to know God intimately while tending sheep in the wilderness. He had contended with the bear and the lion and in the same vein, Goliath was just another obstacle to be brought down.
My prayer for you is that you will truly take charge of your world. I challenge you to arise from slumber and launch out into the global space or wherever it is the Lord has located you. Refuse to just fold your arms and watch like a spectator while expecting things to fall on your plate like a bag of cherries. No, it is time to roll up your sleeves and go to work. You may have been told that you cannot make it in that business or job but understand that no man has the final say over your life. I declare by the mandate of God that you will succeed in that same place where you failed before.
