Actively Doing Your Part in the Great Commission

DAY 2 OF 31

SEEK SOUND UNDERSTANDING (1)

Understanding is very critical in participating actively in the Great Commission. Nothing in Christianity will have the power to affect your life if your understanding is not involved. Therefore, don't do anything until you understand it. Understanding is that “thing” underneath that you are standing on in life and guarantees that you won't fall. Anything you don't understand will not have any meaning in your life, even if you are in the middle of it.

Don't go to church until you understand why you should go to church. Don't pay your tithe until you understand what tithe is about. Don't give until you understand why you have to. Seek to understand everything that has happened to you and the things that will happen to you. When hands are laid on you, ask for an explanation.

When David faced Goliath, he did not use any special weapon that all the Jews on the battlefield lacked; he used what everybody had. He said in 1 Samuel 17:26, "… for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" David did not have the weapons they had as soldiers nor did he go through military training. He was just a shepherd boy who understood what they did not. Everyone there had the mark of circumcision but none of them understood it.

Paul prayed for the Church at Ephesus that God would give them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation and that the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened. That means you won't know if your eyes of understanding are not enlightened.

PRAYER: Father, I pray that the eyes of my understanding will be enlightened, and You will give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You in Jesus’ name. Amen!
