THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SATURDAY JUNE 19, 2021.

SUBJECT : THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD!

Memory verse: "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they foolishness to him, nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." (First Corinthians 2 vs 14).

READ: First Corinthians 2 vs 10 - 12: 

2:10: But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

2:11: For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

2:12: Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

INTIMATION: 

The knowledge of the "deep things of God" refers to God's un-fathomable nature and His wonderful plan; Jesus' death and resurrection and the promise of salvation, which is revealed only to those who believe that what God says is true. Those who believe in Christ's death and resurrection and put their faith in Him will know all they need to know to be saved. The knowledge, however, can't be grasped by even the wisest people unless they accept God's message. All who reject God's message are foolish, no matter how wise the world thinks they are. As Christians, who have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, these things are spiritually revealed to us.

The apostle Paul, who had the full revelation of this fact, in his letter to the church in Corinth, stated that the knowledge of the deep things of God are revealed to us through the Spirit of God indwelling the believers. Man in his wisdom cannot discern these things, no matter how wise they are. He clearly stated that these revelations come from the divine wisdom imparted in the believer by the Spirit of God:

"However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." (First Corinthians 2 vs 6 - 8.)

The principalities, the powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, who are under the headship of Satan—the ruler of this world, never in their wisdom knew Christ's mission. Jesus was misunderstood and rejected by those whom the world considered wise and great. He was put to death by the rulers in Palestine; the high priest, King Herod, Pilate, and the Pharisees and Sadducees. They were dominated by their sense knowledge, and they thought that killing Him will achieve their aim of dominating the world. They had no part in the spiritual wisdom and revelation given to believers in the knowledge of Him. 

It’s in the knowledge that the believers identity in Christ is revealed.  The knowledge is exceedingly amazing. The major problem of people is not understanding that fact. Most Christians are in their infancy in the knowledge of the Truth. Even many of our leaders have never passed beyond that. They are still dominated by the senses. They are big men in the senses. Very little is known by many believers of the "spiritual wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him."

We have been blessed with every spiritual blessings that was purchased in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Non-Christians cannot understand spiritual truths, and they cannot grasp the concept that God’s Spirit lives in believers. The person who rejects Christ cannot understand truths from God’s Spirit, just like a tone-deaf person cannot appreciate fine music. 

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You so much for the divine wisdom and revelation of the knowledge of You imparted in us by Your indwelling Spirit. Let our eyes of understanding be opened to know our inheritance in Christ’s redemptive work for us, and be partakers of the rich spiritual blessings, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
