CONSECRATED IN TRUTH (06-08-11)

John 17:18-19
“As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I was watching the game show, “Family Feud” (Philippines edition), when a question was asked – “Based on 100 people surveyed, name a book in the house that is being read the LEAST.” And do you know the number one answer based on survey? Yes, you are right – it is the “Bible”.

And I would say that in some houses, the Bible is NOT being read anymore.

And then, we would have the guts to tell our friends that we are at a lost in life. That we have too many problems to handle. That it looks like God is not taking care of us. That God (or destiny) is punishing is so we are experiencing too much sufferings.

For we are like Pontius Pilate asking Jesus, “What is the truth?”, when in fact, the truth is already in front of us. And all we need is to read about it, accept it, live it and share it.

Knowing God is essential for Christians. A relationship with Him with close interaction is what life is all about. Hearing God's voice and knowing His presence daily can take your Christian experience to the highest level.

The Bible reveals to us the way for us to hear God's voice and to know Him better. Through prayer, study, truth and intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ all Christians can know God better when they know how to listen to Him with their spirits.

Open your Bible today; read about the truth. Read about a life so worth-living that someone died for it so we can all have eternal life with God.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, from this day forward, I seek Your Truth and whatever it may look like. Protect me Father and help me to always speak the Truth and to purposefully move away from omissions, lies and anything that is not a deliberate reflection of Your Truth. Amen +

Awesome is God; he gives power and strength to his people.
