THE TRUE PATH TO KNOWING HIM – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me… (Galatians 1:15-16).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
There’re those who attempt to understand God through their intellect as though God could be studied in a laboratory. However, knowing God is not something that can be achieved through mental effort or intellectual exercise. Even Paul the apostle, a highly educated man, realized that his learning was insufficient when it came to knowing Jesus Christ. He needed revelation.
You can only know God by the revelation of the Spirit. There’s a level of humility required to reach that point. You must come to the realization that no amount of intellectual prowess could help you here; you need God’s revelation. And when you humble yourself, God will reveal Himself to you as He did with Paul.
Paul was an erudite scholar; read Philippians 3 where he declared his resume and made some very thought-provoking statements. He said, “Concerning the righteousness which is in the law, I was blameless”; he knew it all (Philippians 3:6). Then he says in verses 8-10, “Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: …that I may win Christ, and be found in him…That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection…” (Philippians 3:8-10).

Then in Galatians 1:15-16, he said, “But when it pleased God…to reveal his Son in me.” It was by revelation that Paul eventually came to know Jesus Christ. No wonder he prayed a beautiful prayer of the Spirit for the Christians in Ephesus that God would grant them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (Ephesians 1:17-18).
He understood that you couldn’t “experiment” or hypothesize to know God or discover Him through history alone. Without revelation, no one could truly know God, and that’s why we pray for those who don’t know Him, that their eyes be opened to the truth of the Gospel and that the veil of darkness in their hearts be removed by the Spirit to receive divine revelation and experience the fullness of God’s love and salvation. Amen.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I pray for those yet to know you that you will reveal yourself to them by your Spirit, removing every veil of darkness and barrier of ignorance and pride from their hearts. I pray that their minds be enlightened to know and experience the fullness of your love and salvation, and comprehend the truth of the Gospel. By your grace, many will come to the full knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
1 Corinthians 2:9-12: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Ephesians 1:15-18: Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 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,
Matthew 16:13-17: When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
