RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL, THURSDAY 13TH AUGUST 2026. PASTOR CHRIS
TOPIC โจ THE PURSUIT OF DIVINE KNOWLEDGE โจ
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
When you come into Christ, youโre introduced to such divine realities as eternal life, righteousness, your identity in Him, etc. But these realities must be studied, understood and consciously lived. They donโt automatically become your experience simply because youโve heard or read about them. You have to study the Scriptures to know more.
Thereโs a responsibility placed on you to search, to understand, and to live the truth, and the Word of God is truth (John 17:17). The Bible says, โThen shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD...โ (Hosea 6:3). No wonder the Apostle Paul prayed, โThat the God of our Lord Jesus Christโฆmay give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of himโ (Ephesians 1:17).
This shows that knowing God and His truths is progressive. Thereโs depth, and you have to constantly search the Scriptures as the Lord said, โSearch the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal lifeโฆโ (John 5:39). Consider the importance of eternal life: the Bible says, โโฆ.God hath given to us eternal lifeโฆโ (1 John 5:11).
If this is the life youโve received, then itโs vital to understand it, how it functions, and how to live it. The same applies to righteousness. The Word declares, _โFor he hath made him to be sin for usโฆthat we might be made the righteousness of God in himโ (2 Corinthians 5:21). These are profound realities that must be studied, understood, and lived from Godโs perspective.
Christianity calls you into depth, knowledge, understanding, and application. You donโt follow assumptions; you grow and live consciously by the Word of God. When you study the Word, youโre not merely gathering information but discovering who you are. Youโre building your spirit. Youโre discovering the life in you and learning how to function in the realities of the Kingdom.
This removes uncertainty, eliminates confusion, and establishes you in Godโs truths. You become confident, effective and productive in your walk with Him. Therefore, go beyond sense-knowledge and surface-level understanding of the Word of God. Do a deep study. Make full proof of the life God has given you by knowing more about it, understanding it, and living it every day.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege of knowing you through your Word. As I study, you grant me insight, understanding, and revelation. I grow in the knowledge of eternal life, righteousness, and my identity in Christ, and I walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.

Ephesians 1:17-18 KJV
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: [18] The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Hosea 4:6 KJV
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
