Get His Latest Information
…I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty,
but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them (Exodus 6:3).
One beautiful benefit derived from constant
fellowship with the Lord is that you’re in sync
with the Spirit; you’re updated with new and latest
information from “headquarters.” Through fellowship,
we receive ideas and strategies from the Father; we
get to understand more, the things He wants us to do,
and how to do them in accordance with His standards,
desires, and perfect will.
You may be doing what God told you to do, but
if you’re not in constant fellowship or communion
with Him, you may be carrying out your assignment
without the “Father’s latest information.” As you walk
with Him, the exact knowledge of His will, His plans,
purposes and intents become clearer to you.
Think about it this way: If you told someone to
build you a house, and he comes up with a beautiful
architectural design, because the house is yours, and
you have and know the master plan, you could decide
to make necessary changes. Even as the house is being
built, every once in a while, there could be something
new you want to add. You see, life is dynamic; our
cities and societies are dynamic. You can’t say,
“I created the design ten years ago, and that’s the way
it’s going to stay;” no! There’re lots of changes and
adjustments that’ll be necessary as you get along.
Human lives are that way. God builds Himself into
us, and we’re His instruments for building our lives, and
building the lives of others. We’ve got to be attuned to
Him in fellowship to have the latest information. You
need His latest information so you can build exactly as He wants.
For example, though Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
knew God as El shaddai, God introduced Himself
to Moses as Jehovah in Exodus 6. At that moment,
Moses had the latest information. But revelation has
progressed even further; we don’t pray to the Father
with the name “Jehovah,” neither do we cast out devils
in the name of Jehovah; we use the Name of Jesus.
That’s latest information, different from Jehovah,
El Shaddai or any of the other names by which God
was introduced in the Old Testament. Today, the
Father reveals Himself in His Son, Jesus; He’s wrapped
Himself in Jesus: “For it pleased the Father that in him
should all fulness dwell” (Colossians 1:19).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you, for your Word is the most important
source of knowledge. As I study the Word, my spirit is flooded
with light to know and walk in your perfect will always, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
