That I May Know Him

Philippians 3:10 (KJV)
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death

Rolland wanted to walk in God’s great power because he saw he needed this to be more effective in life and ministry. He had taken some time to observe the life of those who walked in God’s great power. He noticed that they were closer to God than most other Christians. He now realized that the secret to walking in great power is closer knowledge of God through fellowship with Him (see 2 Pet 1:2).

See from today’s Bible verse that the first thing you will experience in your knowledge of God is the power of His resurrection. This is the greatest power of God that is known to creation (spiritual and physical). This power raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him above all creation (see Eph 1:20-21).

The reason many Christians do not walk in God’s great power is because they are too far from God in their hearts. They do not have a close relationship with the Lord and all their communication with Him is based on asking and receiving. They do not really have a desire to know God and know His ways.

Moses was powerful because he knew God and knew His ways (see Psalm 103:7). He spent time in the presence of God more than everyone else.

Any good father would naturally be closer to his obedient children who love to spend time with him. He would be closer with them than with those whose only communication with him is to ask for things.

Go into today remembering that fellowship with God is the secret to walking in the power of God freely made available to you in Christ.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you cultivate friendship with Him.
