Life without Lack

Life without lack

Dear friends,

It gives me great joy to write to you during this holiday season, Hope all is well with you and that you have had a great Christmas week so far.

Couple of weeks ago while enjoying the company of some young men of God from the city during a fellowship dinner. I stumbled upon an amazing scripture. It literally blew my mind off. I’m sure once you catch this insight you will be shouting with me as well.

Here goes…

2 Peter 1:3
… His divine power has given to us all things that [pertain] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.

This scripture tells me all that I will ever need in life and for Godliness is already given to me by the Power of God. Oh my God I can shout right there. Think about this anything you will ever need to in life and to have Godliness is already made available to you.

If you are worried about your bills or how you will break that addiction. May be you have experienced difficult times in 2009. I have good news for you. IT IS TAKEN CARE OFF.

The missing link:

The scripture tells us that all that we need for life and Godliness is given to us THROUGH OUR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. Hmmm…So on one side we have all the pressing needs of Life (Love, money, purpose holiness etc) on the other side we have God’s providence to all our needs. On one side we have earthly requirements on the other all of heaven supplies. What bridges the gap between the two is our knowledge of God. Our understanding of God is the key that unlocks heaven’s resources over our lives.

I looked up the word “knowledge” in its original language. It means knowledge gained from relationship. What God is asking of us is not mere information or dogma but knowledge or understanding that comes from knowing Him as a person. Oh my God this is good stuff. So many times we think just by going to church or reading devotionals will produce results in our lives. More often than not we end up in frustration because it doesn’t work. God is calling us to a more real and intimate relationship with Him.

The Bible is not a spell book we use to meet our needs it is a personal love letter given to us by God. Christianity is not a religion it is an active relationship with Jesus and the knowledge that stems from knowing Him will position you to a life without lack.

Let’s seek Him He will take care of the rest.

Wishing everybody a blessed New year
