Last night I saw two stacks. One stack was about one fourth the height of another. They were stacked side-by-side.
Upon closer look, I saw that the shorter stack was scriptures as were the taller stack too. The shorter stack were scriptures that are revealed and understood by the Church. The taller stack were scriptures not yet revealed to the understanding of the church.
Who are they among us that will dig and delve into the Word of God until all of it is uncovered and revealed to the church? Thusly, the church will be brought into perfection, i.e., the fullness of the statue of Jesus Christ. Who among us hunger so much for the deeper things of the Word that there is nothing that will keep them from the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is HIMSELF the Word of God, both revealed and the, as of yet, unrevealed Word?
Like the hunger for food for our natural bodies that compel us to labor, the hunger for food for our inward, spiritual bodies should drive us to every extent to appropriate meat to satisfy the hunger of the inward spiritual man.
In the natural, we may weigh 400 pounds in our outward bodies, but many of us are starving to death in our inward, spiritual bodies. Most little realize it except for the mere thought that surely there is yet something else remaining for us.
There is more for us to discover in the Word of God that will help us to grow up in the fullness of the image of Jesus Christ, THE Word of God.
Jesus said, “To him that hath, more shall be given. Him that hath not, shall be taken away even that which he seemeth to have.”
Let there be a driving spiritual hunger among us that refuses to be satisfied with mere traditions and doctrines of men….some of which are right to follow after but not all. God give us divine Light of Divine Truths to know the difference.
When such a mind set and attitude develops among us individually, it will very often make us a misfit, much like the proverbial square pet in a round hole. You may very well be looked upon as a strange fellow by the majority….including leadership 😀
We are given a choice We can go along to get along or else….. We can press in. Notice the words: :PRESS and PRESSETH. These words denote the idea of VIOLENCE.
Ph 3:14, “I PRESS toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus
Luke 16:16, “The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man PRESSETH into it.”
Matt 11:12, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, AND THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE.
This does not lead us to be insufferable and have an ugly disagreeable disposition among the family of God but rather, a determination to go on with God even if mama, daddy, prophet or priest does not choose to go.
Important to remember: Knowledge has two sides of the coin. On one side, Knowledge can be the light of TRUTH. On the other side f the coin is pride and arrogance. Knowledge puffeth up.
I Cor 8:1, “Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, BUT CHARITY EDIFIETH.”
In our pursuit of knowledge through the light of the Word, let us seek humility. Nothing is uglier than knowledge apart from divine humility wrought by the genuine love of God.
