Add Knowledge (3)

Dearly Beloved, I trust this finds you well and bubbling in the Lord. We continue our study on developing knowledge in addition to our faith and virtue that we might be productive, efficient, fruitful and useful (2 Peter 1v5). Given the importance of knowledge, it is not surprising that God loves to give knowledge, Paul prayed for knowledge of God, and also prayed continually for Christians to have it. Let’s see some scriptural references to support this:

Proverbs 2:6 (KJV): “For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”

Philippians 3:10 (AMPC): “[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope].”

Colossians 1:10 (TLB): “and asking that the way you live will always please the Lord and honor him, so that you will always be doing good, kind things for others, while all the time you are learning to know God better and better.”

Prayer

Father, we thank You for this day. We thank You for out of Your mouth proceeds knowledge and understanding. We pray that we will come to know You better and better. We pray that we may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with You, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of Your Person more strongly and more clearly in Jesus name, amen.
