KNOWING GOD PART 3

Necessity of Knowing God (Continuation) 
 
1. DAVID – Ps. 27:4-5; 42:1; 63:1-8

David declared his ultimate desire for the presence of God in his life as if all depended on it.

He did not even seek to be king but the only one thing that was his pursuit in life was to know God. He realized that knowing God has supreme advantages;

a) God would hide you in His pavilion in time of trouble. It is a proper insurance in time of trouble.

b) Knowing God would afford you the opportunity to enquire in His temple and to dwell there.

c) Knowing God is the only thing that satisfies the soul.

d) God shall set you upon a rock higher than all else when your singular pursuit in life is to know Him.

2. SOLOMON – 1 Chr. 28:8; 1 Kings 3:5-12; Prov. 9:10.

Solomon sought this one thing at the commencement of his reign. He knew that this was the only thing that would answer every quest of his heart both for that time and eternity. David his father actually made that the first item on his final charge to him. Solomon disdained whatever knowledge he had of God before and asked for this one thing, to know God. That singular request pleased God. If you too will please God, that must be the only quest of your heart at all times. All other things shall be added unto you. However when Solomon stopped pressing to know God, he missed it. He lost all.

3. DANIEL

The pursuit of the knowledge of God is His answer for the end time pollution and backsliding.

Dan, 11:31-32; Hos. 4:6; 2 Cor. 2:13-15; Isa. 5:13-14.

Knowing God makes us to always triumph. You will do exploits even in time of trouble, despite all the corruption and pollution all around you if you know Him. It delivers from the languishing and perishing that comes as a result of lack of knowledge. It enhances one’s ability to discern the leading of the Holy Spirit.
