Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 13:12(KJV), For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Knowledge is intimacy. When He says He knows you, it means that He is intimate with you.

This intimacy leads to union of which the Bible says, “He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”(1 Corinthians 6:17). The essence of knowledge therefore is to create a union between you and God. Knowledge should never separate you from the God you seek to know.

Some quote the scripture in Isaiah 55:9, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” to justify their separation from God. To them, He is up in heaven and they are down on the earth and are nothing to Him.

But weightier truth reveals that “we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16) and that He has made known unto us the mystery of His will (Ephesians 1:9). These truths in themselves are a manifestation of the oneness we share with God. Everything revealed by God is to remind you of your oneness with Him.

Study the Word and receive revelation in oneness with God. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: John 17:23, 1 Corinthians 6:17

GOLDEN NUGGET: Knowledge should never separate you from the God you seek to know.
Everything revealed by God is to remind you of your oneness with Him.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this Word. I receive revelation in the understanding that it establishes me in the union of my spirit with you. I walk, study and pray as one who is one with you. Because I receive knowledge in this understanding, when people see me, they see you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
