THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]!
 
“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.
 
“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).
 
Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God.
 
That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observed people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable.
 
God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25].
 
“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.
 
Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context:
1. SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).
2. IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).
3. THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).
 
God does not wants us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of the “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him.
 
This Is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.
 
I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.
 
THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURED THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.
 
“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).
 
“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.
 
“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.
 
“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast MADE me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.
 
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22.
 
“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.
 
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.
 
“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: GIVES ETERNAL LIFE ACCESS – IN OUR REDEMPTION!
 
“These words spake Jesus, and LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO HEAVEN, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 as thou hast given Him power over ALL FLESH, that He should give ETERNAL LIFE to as many as thou hast given Him. 3 And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have FINISHED THE WORK which thou gavest Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou Me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was . . . 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which thou hast given Me: for thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world hath NOT KNOWN thee: but I have KNOWN thee, and these have KNOWN that thou hast sent Me . . .” John 17:1-26.
 
The most profound High Priest PRAYERS for the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST of which you ARE and can be a PARTAKER of the grace in the Scriptures, was OFFERED by our Lord Jesus Christ while at the verged of the closure of His earthly Ministry in humanity, for the REDEMPTION of mankind – and that includes you knowingly and unknowingly.
 
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.
 
In the Holy Writ Book of John Chapter 17 is written of the most comprehensive INTERCESSORY PRAYERS ever made for the CAUSE of the good of His Church. Jesus in one of the verses OFFERED PRAYERS to the FATHER God that we might come to a place in the grace of the KNOWING [KNOWLEDGE] of the HOLY ONE [FATHER GOD and SON], so that we can ACTUALISE and LIVE in the REALM [SPHERE] of ETERNAL LIFE. A realm wherein we can comprehensively grab the fullness of His DONE DEED for us in Christ.
 
Christ Jesus was and is praying that – We might KNOW our Father God and Him [Christ Jesus] who was SENT by the Father, this thus indicates there is graciousness and gracefulness to attain in such REALM of PRAYERS – [John 17:3]. That is the REALM that can ENSURE that we can be able to articulate and authenticate His WILL [TESTAMENT] in Heaven into our Earthly affairs as He taught the Disciples and as us, on the HOW TO PRAY. Amen.
 
“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of His disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, SO IN EARTH. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil” Luke 11:1-4.
 
ETERNAL LIFE is the ETERNITY realm of God in doing life. And for us to actualise the fullness of our REDEMPTION in Him, we need to synchronize our spirit-being to that of the ETERNAL LIFE realm of God. For Father God has indeed, planted ETERNITY in us all – [Ecclesiastes 3:11/NKJV/AMP]. This is made possible by having the knowing and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in us.
 
“He has MADE everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man CANNOT find out [comprehend, grasp] what God has done [His overall plan] from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 [Amplified].
 
May I make bold to say that it is in keeping your eternal spirit-being alive that one can comprehend in essence the work [working] of God in man. And we are expected to WALK in this ETERNITY REALM if indeed we LIVE in this REALM too – [Galatians 5:25]]. Do you? And if not, it’s time to keep to the expected in order to make your prayers EASIER [EFFORTLESSLY] in the grace wherein we stand by God in Christ Jesus stead. For the eternal realm of eternity in the grace, is far beyond the realms of the FIVE SENSES. For the eternity realm of God in Christ Jesus stead for us is the REALM wherein the FIVE SENSES of mental facilities of reasoning, has been subjected and trained to the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the WORD of God, in order to sensitized and synchronised in practice, the difference between God’s DIVINE testament realm from the human sense and mental faculties realm of reasons, that’s limited in all ramifications.
 
“But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose SENSES and MENTAL faculties are TRAINED by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to DIVINE or HUMAN law” Hebrews 5:14/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
I pray that you will see the need to articulate and synchronised your spirit BEING to this ETERNAL LIFE realm of eternity in the grace, in order to give and allow the HEAVENLY ACCESS to your EARTHLY affairs to ease your path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:
 
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
 
“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:3.
 
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM: and the KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY IS UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 9:10.
 
“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man CANNOT find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.
 
” If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:25/Amplified.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENCE!
 
ESSENCE is the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, which determines its character. Hence the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the ESSENCE of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”, is of the same imperative if we are to appropriate into reality our rights and privileges in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“The FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM: and the KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY is understanding” Proverbs 9:10 (Emphasis Mine).
 
For I am yet to find one Believer in Christ Jesus, who does not wants to ACTUALISE and APPROPRIATE to see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus, is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE.
Unfortunately not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus stead in their day to day living, as expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND as in the Holy Writ.
 
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
 
In ESSENCE, actualising our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus, can only be made possible through firstly – KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ:
 
“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).
 
And until you can ACTUALISE and APPROPRIATE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God.
 
I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding, of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and He’s DOING THROUGH YOU, supposedly and indeed.
 
Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING of these but not limited craving is what I want you to explore:
 
That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the KNOWLEDGE of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
That KNOWLEDGE will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.
That your dominion in life is a product of your KNOWLEDGE – Daniel 11:32.
That a man’s value for KNOWLEDGE determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.
That the grace that determines our status is a function of KNOWLEDGE – 2 Peter 1:2.
That when you run after KNOWLEDGE, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.
That People who hate KNOWLEDGE can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.
That age is not equal to KNOWLEDGE, and should not be taken for KNOWLEDGE – Job. 32:7-9.
That if your THOUGHTS are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.
That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.
That whatever KNOWLEDGE you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.
That studying for KNOWLEDGE is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.
That the only authentic proof of KNOWLEDGE is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.
That when you don’t grow in the spirit of KNOWLEDGE, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.
That those who seek to KNOW men, don’t know God; when you seek to KNOW God, people will seek to KNOW you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.
That your KNOWLEDGE of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.
And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured KNOWLEDGE – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.
 
These writ above though not limited, indicate the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of
“THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’, ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE” for your ESSENCE and FULNESS.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).

Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION –  from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural  truth which is – The living WORD of God.

That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observed people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable.

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25].

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.

Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context:

*1* SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).

*2* IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).

*3* THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).

God does not wants us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of the “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him.

This Is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.

I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURED THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22.

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.

“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: GIVES ETERNAL LIFE ACCESS – IN OUR REDEMPTION!

The most profound High Priest PRAYERS for the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST of which you are and can be a partaker in the Scriptures, was OFFERED by our Lord Jesus Christ while at the verged of the closure of His earthly Ministry for the REDEMPTION of mankind.

In the Holy Writ Book of John Chapter 17 is written of the most comprehensive INTERCESSORY PRAYERS ever made for the CAUSE of the good of His Church. Jesus in one of the verses OFFERED PRAYERS to the FATHER God that we might come to a place in grace of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE so that we can ACTUALISE and LIVE in the REALM of ETERNAL LIFE. A place wherein we can comprehensively grab the fullness of His DONE DEED for us in Christ.

Christ Jesus praying that – We might KNOW Father God and Himself who was SENT by the Father, indicates there is graciousness and gracefulness to attain in such REALM of PRAYERS – John 17:3. That is the REALM that can ENSURE that we can be able to articulate and authenticate His WILL in Heaven into our Earthly affairs. Amen.

ETERNAL LIFE is the ETERNITY realm of God in doing life. And for us to actualise the fullness of our REDEMPTION in Him, we need to synchronize our spirit BEING to that ETERNAL LIFE REALM of God. For indeed He has planted ETERNITY in us – Ecclesiastes 3:11. This is made possible by having the knowing and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in us.

May I make bold to say that it is in keeping your eternal spirit BEING alive that one can comprehend in essence the WORKS of God in man. And we are expected to WALK in this ETERNITY REALM if indeed we LIVE in this REALM – Galatians 5:25. Do you? If not, it’s time to keep to the expected in order to make your prayers EASIER. For it’s a REALM beyond the FIVE SENSES or rather a REALM wherein the FIVE Senses has been SENSITIZED by the WORD KNOWING of God – Hebrews 5:14.

I pray that you will see the need to articulate and synchronize your spirit BEING to this ETERNAL LIFE in order to give the HEAVENLY ACCESS to your EARTHLY affairs.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENCE!

ESSENCE is the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, which determines its character. Hence the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the ESSENCE of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”, is of the same imperative if we are to appropriate into reality our rights and privileges in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“The FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM: and the KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY is understanding” Proverbs 9:10 (Emphasis Mine).

For I am yet to find one Believer in Christ Jesus, who does not wants to ACTUALISE and APPROPRIATE to see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus, is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE. Unfortunately not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus stead in their day to day living, as expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND as in the Holy Writ.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

In ESSENCE, actualising our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus, can only be made possible through firstly – KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

And until you can ACTUALISE and APPROPRIATE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God.

I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding, of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and He’s DOING THROUGH YOU, supposedly and indeed.

Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING of these but not limited craving is what I want you to explore:

** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the KNOWLEDGE of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

** That KNOWLEDGE will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29

** That your dominion in life is a product of your KNOWLEDGE – Daniel 11:32.

** That a man’s value for KNOWLEDGE determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.

** That the grace that determines our status is a function of KNOWLEDGE – 2 Peter 1:2.

** That when you run after KNOWLEDGE, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

** That People who hate KNOWLEDGE can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

** That age is not equal to KNOWLEDGE, and should not be taken for KNOWLEDGE – Job. 32:7-9.

** That if your THOUGHTS are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

** That whatever KNOWLEDGE you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

** That studying for KNOWLEDGE is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

** That the only authentic proof of KNOWLEDGE is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of KNOWLEDGE, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

** That those who seek to KNOW men, don’t know God; when you seek to KNOW God, people will seek to KNOW you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

** That your KNOWLEDGE of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured KNOWLEDGE – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

These writ above though not limited, indicate the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’, ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE” for your ESSENCE and FULNESS.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM” Ephesians 1:15-17.

“But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 and have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all” Colossians 3:8-11.

“Who is a wise man and ENDUED WITH KNOWLEDGE among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom” James 3:13

“. . . 13 Therefore my people are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have no KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness” Isaiah 5:11-16.

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING OF – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: IT DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM ERRORS – AND FROM BEING MISTAKEN!

Erring or being Mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from being MISTAKEN and walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptures which is – The Living WORD of God.

That’s why you sometimes if not most times,  hear people in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken?

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order to be BLESSED INDEED – James 1:22-25.

Herein are three INCAPACITIES but not limited of the state of the RATIONALISTS:

*1* SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).

*2* IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).

*3* THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).

God does not wants us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of the THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: GIVES ETERNAL LIFE ACCESS – IN OUR REDEMPTION!

The most profound HIGH PRIESTLY PRAYERS for the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST of which you ARE and can be a PARTAKERS in the SCRIPTURAL terms, was OFFERED by our Lord Jesus Christ while at the verged of the closure of His earthly Ministry for the REDEMPTION of mankind in John chapter seventeen.

In the Holy Writ Book of John Chapter 17 is written of the most comprehensive INTERCESSORY PRAYERS ever made for the CAUSE of the good of His Church. Jesus in one of the verses OFFERED PRAYERS to the FATHER God that we might come to a place in grace of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE so that we can ACTUALISE and LIVE in the REALM of ETERNAL LIFE. A place wherein we can comprehensively grab the fullness of His DONE DEED for us in Christ.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

Christ Jesus praying that – We might KNOW Father God and Himself as the one who was SENT by the Father, indicates there is graciousness and gracefulness to attain in such REALM of PRAYERS – John 17:3. That is the REALM that can ENSURE that we can be able to articulate and authenticate His WILL in Heaven into our Earthly affairs. Amen.

ETERNAL LIFE is the ETERNITY realm of God in doing life. And for us to actualise the fullness of our REDEMPTION in Him, we need to synchronize our spirit BEING to that ETERNAL LIFE REALM of God. For indeed, He has planted ETERNITY in us in creation – Ecclesiastes 3:11(1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 18:14; Genesis 2:7). This is made possible by having the knowing and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in us.

May I make bold to say that it is in keeping your eternal spirit BEING alive that one can comprehend in essence the WORKS of God in man. And we are expected to WALK in this ETERNITY REALM if indeed we LIVE in this REALM – Galatians 5:25. Do you? If not, it’s time to keep to the expected in order to make your prayers EASIER. For it’s a REALM beyond the FIVE SENSES or rather a REALM wherein the FIVE Senses has been SENSITIZED by the WORD KNOWING of God – Hebrews 5:14; Hebrews 4:12-13.

I pray that you will see the need to articulate and synchronize your spirit BEING to this ETERNAL LIFE in order to give the HEAVENLY ACCESS to your EARTHLY affairs.
