Do You Know or Know About God?

DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR CHRISTIAN BELIEVE
Hello Curiosity,
Those who know God are different from those who know about God. Those who know God have solid relationship with God while those who know about God do not know where they stand with God. If you know God you will do His will but if you know about God you will not know His wills and you will not do His wills (1John 2: 28-29 the difference is cleared in this passage)
Those who know God knows everything about Him because they live with Him, dine with Him, and know Him on a personal level. It is not the same with those who know about Him. It is like someone who would say, “Yes I know Mark Zuckerberg. No I don't know where he lives and I do not know where he was yesterday. Okay, I don't really know him that much, I only know that he is the owner of Facebook a social media." The truth is that this fellow claimed to know Mark Zuckerberg but it turned out to be that he only knows about him. You do not expect him to know much about him unless he develops a solid relationship with Mark. He could research him, follow the News media to know what Mark is doing daily and follow him about when he travels and come even closer to his house. This will help this fellow to develop a social not necessarily a personal relationship with him.
On a Sunday Morning, no traffic. Where are the car?
This is exactly what happens when someone says he knows God but cannot say exactly what God is like, cannot say what God can do in a particular circumstance or even predict God's love for Him. He cannot trust God but will do everything to work against God's purpose for his life, yet when you warn him he would swear that he knows God (Read this lesson from Roman 2: 17-24, it will explain this issue better). Not at all, he does not know God, he knows about God.

For one to know God one must develop the interest to know God by studying the word of God, attending church fellowship and services. The person must get involved in the things of the Lord. In doing so God will reveal Himself in a number of ways to him (John 13: 17 read this verse for more understanding of knowing and doing things) Some of us just trust our pastors so much more than we could trust God just because the pastor prayed for them, no, it is wrong, it should be the other way around.
Thanks for reading and taking action. Our days are numbered; those days are gone when we listen to preaching as if they are falling from hilltops. Today the Bible is available everyone and if you cannot afford any please let me know so we could find ways of sending you one. The bereans did not just receive the teaching; they researched it and believed.
“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” (Acts 17: 10-11)
Knowing God will change your life and everything will turn around in your favor but

THE STORY OF MANMA, THE CHILD PROVIDER

  Manma was just eight years old when she realized that she was born differently. She was born into a struggling family. She was the oldest of five siblings. Her father was always high and her mother was always looking for food and she had to stay home to take care of her hungry siblings. This morning she was seated outside in the cold looking down the earth. She sat propping up her knees and resting her chin on her shaking knees. She was sobbing with a stick on her hand and she wrote something on the sand. "Who am I?". Yes who is she? But, I see her in every street of Abak. She is always crying, sometimes I see her begging for bread, sometimes people send her on errands. I saw her the other day wearing tarred clothes and when I tried to say hello she ran. Who is this girl? What kept her in this misery? Who is Manma? Friends, tell me if you have ever seen her in your street. Please tell me more about her. What can we do to help her? Do not bother about her color because she c

THE MASKING CULTURE AND IMPEDING MINDS

They say it will save our lives, but it is indirectly killing our brain and creating spiritual separation. In a situation where you are in one room with someone you may not know very well and will not be able to recognize outside the workplace, then something is wrong. We should be scared! It is trending, but who knows where it would lead us. I have kept quiet about it while observing what is going on. “This mask thing is something else.” a friend said to me. Yes, there is something about it that needs to be said not that there is anything to be done about it. Because from the look of things there is nothing to do about it unless by faith people choose to do away with it. But people of faith are in a real war with the health industry, politicians, and the world at large. Since I do not want to go into politics because I am not one and I do not understand it, I will desist from addressing this matter politically. I am not in the health industry, and I cannot address any health issues si

Do not Destroy Your Future in one Ugly Experience.

 The beauty of a tree is ever visible in the compound of a conscientious rich person. Although not all rich persons value the life of a tree because some would uproot the tree in quest for power expansion However, a wise and a caring rich person would give space for beauty hence he employs the crafting hands of the landscaper, the florist and the flower tender to beautify his compound that enshrines his palace within the trees thereby respecting, giving life and bringing out the beauty of it. The shrub on its own is a hell of nuisance, growing and spreading branches everywhere even blocking the palace from view and making passage uncomfortable for the king and his entourage. Nevertheless the king loves the shrub as added beauty, that is why he spares a little, for the shrub best by getting a flower tender. The tender with his pruning share, cuts of wild spreading branches, and shapes the shrub how he would for beauty. He sits back to observe it and once he is satisfied with his wor
