Acknowledge what is yours

Acknowledge what is yours.

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”
Philemon 1:6

You faith becomes operative, effectual and activated by the recognition and awareness of the good things you have in you in Christ Jesus.

Faith grows with knowledge. The more you know what belongs to you in Christ, the more faith and confidence you will have about life. That is why when God's children that have not been taught begin to find out what belongs to them from God's Word, they are amazed that they would have had a better life if they found the truth earlier.

Is it possible that there are many things God wants you to enjoy that you are not enjoying because you do not know what belongs to you? C.H Spurgeon told a story of a woman he went to visit. She was sick and dying. While he was there in her little house, he saw, on the wall, a plaque from the British royalty who had willed an estate to her with great wealth, but because she could not read, she was dying and eventually died of starvation in poverty. Your ignorance of your rights in Christ would keep  you from the quality of life that God ordained for you to have.

Do not continue to live your life in spiritual illiteracy, because truth is the anchor of freedom; that is why the devil likes you to remain ignorant. Therefore I encourage you to give attention to the study of the Word of God and learning about your inheritance in Christ so that your faith can become effective for the victorious life.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you grant unto me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Proverbs 3:13-18, Proverbs 24:14, Jeremiah 15:16.
