YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
Our lives today are made better because of the discoveries made by those who came before us—those who learned about electricity, magnetism, heat, radiation, etc. These discoveries gave us an advantage, making life easier, better and faster than it was in previous generations.
In the same way, in the spiritual realm, some of us are constantly researching the Word of God, exploring the realities of the Kingdom, and discovering how to live the transcendent life in Christ. Through these spiritual discoveries, we help others see how to succeed in life and please God.
Just as natural laws benefit us, spiritual laws are even more beneficial and vital. The principles of success as taught in the world are nothing compared to the spiritual principles in God’s Word. For example, while in the world many chase after material things, but the Bible teaches us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness; consequently, everything you need in life will come to you naturally (Matthew 6:33). That beats logic or human reasoning; but it’s in sync with the principle of faith. Faith is the law by which we live in the Kingdom: “…as it is written, The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17).
Then in Romans 3:27, we read about the law of faith: “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.” You must learn to operate by the law of faith; it’s consistent and much more reliable than natural laws. Take the law of gravity for example; have you ever woken up one day to find that the law of gravity had failed, with everything suddenly floating in the air? No! The law of gravity works all the time.
But even so, spiritual laws and principles are more immutable. Therefore, understand and apply them diligently. Research the deeper truths of God through the study of the Word and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Know how to function in God’s Kingdom, through your knowledge of Him and of His spiritual principles, and you’ll live in the fullness of His blessings and of your inheritance in Him. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for revealing the spiritual laws of success to me through your Word. I walk according to the principles of the Kingdom, in victory and divine prosperity. My life is governed by your Word, and I live in the fullness of your blessings and of my inheritance in Christ. Thank you for the Holy Spirit who guides me into all truth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
