Experiencing the Truth About God

-

 In the quest for spiritual understanding, many individuals rely on various sources such as books, teachings, and qualifications to gain knowledge and Experience the Truth About God. While these resources are valuable, there is a unique and transformative aspect that can only be achieved through a personal encounter with the person and power of God. The Bible highlights the significance of personal encounters with God, surpassing any amount of reading, teaching, or qualifications.

The pursuit of knowledge about God through reading, teaching, and qualifications is commendable, but it has its limitations. The Apostle Paul, a learned scholar himself, acknowledges this in his letter to the Corinthians: "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up" (1 Corinthians 8:1). Paul emphasizes that knowledge alone can lead to pride and intellectualism, which may hinder a genuine understanding of God's truth.

Jesus, during His earthly ministry, emphasized the importance of personal encounters with Him. In the Gospel of John, Jesus declares, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). This profound statement reveals that a personal encounter with Jesus is the key to understanding the truth about God. It is through knowing Jesus intimately that we can truly know the Father.,we find numerous accounts of people whose lives were transformed through personal encounters with God. in the bible .One such example is the apostle Paul, who experienced a life-altering encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-9). This encounter not only changed Paul's perception of Jesus but also transformed him into one of the most influential figures in early Christianity.Spiritual discernment is essential in recognizing and interpreting personal encounters with God. In 1 John 4:1, believers are urged to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God." This highlights the need for wisdom and discernment to differentiate between authentic encounters with God and deceptive spiritual experiences.

The Holy Spirit  also plays a crucial role in facilitating personal encounters with God. Jesus promised His disciples that the Holy Spirit would come to dwell within them, guiding them into all truth (John 16:13). Through the Holy Spirit's presence and guidance, believers can experience personal encounters with God, gaining a deep understanding of His character and purpose.

While personal encounters with God are often initiated by His grace, we can cultivate an environment that invites and facilitates these encounters. This can be achieved through prayer, worship, meditation on God's Word, and a willingness to surrender our hearts and minds to Him. The psalmist encourages us to "taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8), inviting us to experience God's goodness firsthand

while reading, teaching, and qualifications have their place in our spiritual growth, they cannot compare to the transformative power of personal encounters with the person and power of God. The Bible affirms that it is through these encounters that we can truly come to know and understand the truth about God.

May we all pursue personal encounters with God, knowing that it is in Him that we find true understanding, wisdom, and transformation.

 For us to move to the next level and be celebrated, there is always an obstacle or a mountain to subdue. There can never be a celebration without a battle that is won or an obstacle that you have overcome. David is a man that understand the principle of conquering a giant. In 1 Samuel 17:33-45 , he was faced with Goliath, David was not afraid like king Saul and his brothers but reminded himself of his past victories through the help of God. In order to overcome any giant-like challenges we face in life,it is important to remember past successes and remind ourselves of our capabilities. Just like David did when he faced Goliath with confidence, we need to think back to times when we've achieved something difficult in difficult circumstances and be reminded that the same strength and willpower that got us through before can help us conquer our current challenge. By focusing on your achievements rather than on the difficulty of the task ahead and visualizing yourself as successful ...

Sometimes, it's the road less traveled that leads to the most fulfilling destinations. One man explained his experience in a blocked expressway that reflects our journey in life, read on. I was few kilometres away from Ibadan in Nigeria and vehicles ahead started making u-turn. It was the 5th driver who offered to tell me "EXPRESS TI BLOCK " The express road is blocked" in a hurry. I pulled over and asked God what I should do. I was pacing to catch an appointment.  An old farmer emerged attempting to cross. I alighted and greeted him, grinning.  He knew about the accident that locked the traffic down. It was apparent I needed help and he was gracious to me.  Values are local! One good place to experience humanity is in the village.  Baba told me there's a way but it's dusty, long and rough. His con...
