Increase In Knowledge - Pastor William Kumuyi

Key Verse: “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” Daniel 12:4

Text: Daniel 12:1-4

Our society has moved from riding horses for thousands of years to riding in automobiles and airplanes in the last one hundred years. This is so much of an exact prophecy that knowledge is now presently doubling every twenty two months. But when it comes to the knowledge of God, it may very well be decreasing.

Paul told Timothy that in the last days many would be “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” 2 Timothy 3:7. The last week in Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy covers the period of the Great Tribulation. In today’s lead verses, Daniel spoke about the role Angel Michael will play in securing a remnant of the Israelites during the Great Tribulation described as a time of Jacob’s trouble. He equally spoke about the resurrection of the Old Testament saints at the end of the Great Tribulation at Christ’s coming. He concluded by highlighting one of the very clear signs leading to Christ’s Second Coming – the increase of knowledge.

We are living in a very fast-paced world, to say the least. This generation is the most goals or career-oriented generation. That’s why our little ones are already learning computer skills. Instead of being outside riding bikes or playing with the dog or a toy car, our young people are inside playing high-tech video games and surfing the Internet. As we are continually dazzled by these new inventions and new studies and research in every field of human endeavour, let us equally understand that all these draw us closer to the Second Coming of Christ. How prepared therefore are you? The choice is wholly yours.

Thought for the day: We get to heaven through repentance not researching.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression. This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Block All The Leakages

“In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes” 2 Corinthians 2:11. It is difficult to gather up resources for any productive use, or to assume control of one’s finances if leakages are not identified and blocked. Leakages are channels through which resources or money is been drained, either knowingly or unknowingly. They are instruments employed by the devil to wreck one’s destiny and finances. Thus, whatever drains your resources is never from God (John 10:10). Leakages have both spiritual and physical dimensions. One can experience leakage if one is under a curse-not giving God His dues in the form of tithe; if you have flair for life’s frivolities; if you commit sin; if you constantly experience physical or spiritual robberies; if you are involved in gambling; when there is an illegal access to your secrets or bank accounts; and when you are perpetually under demonic attack of sickness; when you invest heavily in a business you do not know an...
