UNDERSTANDING

Scripture: Ephesians 1:15-22

Devotional:- “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints” (v.18) NKJV

    No one will be able to grow in God above his/her level of understanding. Our level of understanding determines how much we can yield or submit to God. It determines how much we can exercise in the power and the grace of God . No one can achieve in life more than his/her level of understanding. It is knowing how things are done.

The way and the word of God are mysteries. We will not be able to walk in them except we grow in understanding (1 Corinthians 14:20). To grow in understanding, we need quality fellowship with the Holy Spirit and the word of God (Job 32:8). It is the Holy Spirit that helps us understands the word of God (John 14:26). If not, the word of God will look like foolishness to you.

Friend, you need to grow your reasoning capacity, insight, sensitivity and perception of the things of God by meditating in the word of God. It is our understanding that determines the flow of the grace of God to our lives. Only men of understanding can grow into maturity (2 Peter 1:2)  Always ask for the Spirit of understanding by the Holy Spirit and you shall be given (1 kings 3:5-14). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me understanding of your ways

“Men only become outstanding by understanding”
