GO FOR GREATER TRUTHS
(Daily Increase In Your Understanding)
TO THE BIBLE Ephesians 1:18
“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.”
LET’S TALK
“Stan, why does it seem like our Care group leader says one thing when he’s exhorting some people and another thing when talking to other Christians like us?” “What do you mean, Eric?”
“Well, he said to the new souls we won last week that God would heal them when they came for our meeting next week, but he’s always told us that God doesn’t need to heal us today since we have the divine life of God in us. Why not just tell them the same thing as he told us?”
“Both statements are true, Eric,” Stan explained. “But there are greater truths. And the more we study God’s Word, the more our spiritual eyes are further enlightened to these truths already revealed in it. He isn’t adding any new thing.”
When you look at all of God’s beautiful truths, as revealed in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, you find that some are greater than others. Studying His life, you’d learn how to walk in the greater truths of God’s Word. For instance, it’s nice to know that you can receive divine healing, no matter the sickness. But there’s a greater revelation than this, and it’s ving in divine health–a state where you’re free of every sickness, disease and infirmity, never needing to be healed–twenty-four hours, every day of your life!
The only thing that’ll change your life this way is that higher understanding that the Spirit gives to you as you study the Scriptures; it’ll impact your life in every way. Your prayer life and thinking will change. You’ll become so much more effective in your ministry in the Gospel. Suddenly, you’d realise that all that time you were “hoping” that, one day, God would have mercy on you and help you, what you needed was the higher understanding that everything you could ever need in your life was already in you and provided for. Glory to God!

Speak
I affirm that God’s Word is for my advantage, progress, blessing and promotion. My heart and mind are open to receive and understand the Scriptures; therefore, I’m wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. The Word is effectual in my life, producing in me what it talks about. Hallelujah!
