Knowing God: The Source of Strength and True Stature


June 4,2026

One of the greatest challenges many believers face is not the absence of God, for God is omnipresent and ever-present with His people. Rather, the challenge is a lack of confidence in Him, insufficient knowledge of who He is, what He is capable of doing, and an understanding of His ways. This is why a hungry and thirsty heart continually cries, "Show me Your glory and teach me Your ways" (Exodus 33:18; Psalm 25:4).

When the Lord commissioned Joshua to lead Israel into the Promised Land and divide the territories of the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, and other nations, He repeatedly commanded him to be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:6–9). Although God had already given Joshua the assurance of victory, He understood the tendency of human nature to focus more on visible battles than on the invisible power of God. Human sight often magnifies the size of obstacles while diminishing the greatness of the God who has promised victory.

This same question confronts every believer today: Do you truly know your God? Scripture declares, "The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits" (Daniel 11:32). Notice that strength is not first found in physical appearance, social status, intelligence, or natural ability. True strength is found in the knowledge of God. Your real stature is not determined by whether you are tall or short, rich or poor, strong or weak in the natural sense. Your true stature is measured by your revelation of God and your confidence in Him.

As your knowledge of God increases, so does your spiritual strength. And from that strength comes the ability to accomplish great things for His kingdom. The exploits spoken of in Scripture are the natural outcome of a life rooted in the knowledge of God.

Furthermore, your spiritual stature does not diminish during seasons of weakness. God's grace remains sufficient even when human strength fails. The Lord told Paul, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). In moments when you feel inadequate, God's power is still at work within you.

Therefore, embrace the stature that God has given you rather than the identity the world seeks to impose upon you. Refuse to measure yourself by human standards. Instead, grow in the knowledge of God, walk confidently in His promises, and allow His grace to define who you are. May you return to the reality of your true self in God and stand in the fullness of the stature He has ordained for you.

No Room for Crawling: The Three Dimensions of Divine Progress

Image
November 2,2025 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) In the agenda of the Lord for His people, there is no room for crawling. Every believer is designed to be in motion — to advance, grow, and ascend in the divine order of grace. The least a believer can do is walk, for the life of the Spirit has no provision for stagnation. Those who wait upon the Lord are not only renewed but are divinely empowered to operate in three progressive realms of movement — mounting up, running, and walking. Each dimension carries a distinct purpose yet leads to one destination: fruitful and victorious living in Christ. 1. Mounting Up with Wings as Eagles — The Realm of Dominion Waiting on the Lord brings you to a realm of spiritual elevation. You rise above earthly limitations and ascend into your heavenly position in Christ Jesus, seated abov...

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer March 23,2025 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1-8, Matthew 6:5-15, Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer is one of the most essential modes of conversation between God and humanity, allowing us to express our hearts before our Maker. Prayer not only helps us navigate life's challenges but also empowers us to overcome spiritual battles. Unfortunately, many children of God struggle to engage in meaningful and effective prayer, leading to stagnancy in their spiritual journeys. While studying the Word, praising God, and giving tithes and offerings are all vital aspects of our spiritual lives, they cannot replace the importance of prayer. The Bible encourages us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17), emphasizing the need for continuous communication with God. Prayer should become as natural as breathing, for without it, we may have ideas and plans, but lack the power to implement them. Jesus taught us to prioritize pray...

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written March 19,2025 Matthew 10:1-42, Mark 3:13-19, Luke 6:12-16, 9:1-6 In Matthew 10:1-42, Jesus commissions His twelve disciples, empowering them to cast out unclean spirits, heal sicknesses, and diseases. The Bible emphasizes that Jesus "called His twelve disciples to Himself" and gave them authority over darkness (Matthew 10:1). The naming of the disciples in verse 2 is not a coincidence; it signifies a divine roll call, ensuring that each one is mature, ready, and accountable for the assignment. Perhaps you have struggled to exercise your authority in Christ because you're unsure if your name is on the list. You may feel timid, afraid, or silent, wondering if you are truly called and empowered for the task. However, those who are sent out by Jesus have their names written, and the darkness recognizes and trembles at their authority. The story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19:11-16 illustrates the impor...
