THE GOD OF YOUR FATHER
DAILY DEVOTION
Today’s Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 26 – 28
1 Chronicles 28:9 (KJV): And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.
Submission to spiritual authority gives you the grace to walk in places your spiritual authority has walked. If there are territories that he or she has conquered, you can claim them too.
Does this principle work by simple entitlement?
Of course not. Our theme scripture casts light on how. It says you must know the GOD of your father. The scripture calls upon you to serve Him with a perfect heart and a willing mind.
It has been famously said, “No matter how tall your father is, you must do your own growing.”
Imitating what a spiritual authority does without having a personal relationship with God will not take you anywhere.
It is by God that they have become who they are. It is by God that you too must become who He destined for you to become.
Don’t simply admire miracles, signs, and wonders. Don’t merely stand in awe of the fruit that is evident in the life of your spiritual authority. SEEK TO KNOW THEIR GOD.
Hallelujah!

🙌PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. Thank You for the opportunity to know You. I see You for who You are. My fellowship with You does not depend on the incense that other men in the holy of holies are burning. I too have access to You. The longer I live, the deeper into You I am launched, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
