Knowing God In 2 Peter 1 (Sep 30)

Excellent Glory & Morning Star

Peter’s 2nd letter teaches opposing
internal spiritual attacks by Satan
with the knowledge of the truth.
Peter warns against apostasy within
the church, moral perversions
and the denial of Christ’s return
that false teachers propagate.
He exhorts his readers to grow in
grace & knowledge that come thru
Christ, thereby gaining strength
to resist error and avoid heresy.

Lord, You Enable Godly Living:
By His divine power, God has given
us everything we need for living a
godly life… He has given us great
…promises; which enable you to
share His divine nature (2Pet 1:3-4)
Brethren, be…diligent to make your
call & election sure, for if u do these
things you will never stumble (v10).
He received from God the Father
honour and glory when a voice
came from Excellent Glory: This is
My Son in whom I am well pleased…
And so we have the prophetic Word confirmed, which you do well
to heed… until the morning
star rises in your hearts… for…
holy men of God spoke as they
were moved by Holy Spirit (v17-21).

Father God, I claim Your promises:
that You give us godly nature
and that You enable godly living.
Grant me grace of developing more
intimate relationship with You as
I know more of You & Christ Jesus.
Help me remember what You teach
& be diligent in faithful obedience.
Help me grow spiritually; so that
I may live wholly for You. Amen.

Lord Jesus, thank You for giving
me new life that will never end.
Your holy word says if anyone is in
Christ; the new creation has come:
The old has gone; the new is here.
And I purpose to make the call
and election sure. For I don’t have
to keep living the way I used to live.
And with Your empowerment, I have
the capacity to change & grow into
Your image. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Holy Spirit, teach me how to tap
into Your divine power so that I will
not lack anything that You offer.
Fill me continually Lord, and be
ever present within me; for I want
to experience You more and more.
Holy Spirit, increase the evidence
of Your presence in my life. And
make Your home in me so that
I will display more love, more power,
more of You in my life. Amen!!
