Understanding is all
that faith requires to come alive.
But what is Understanding?
It is being able to see
what God is saying. An understanding of the word of God is your most valuable
asset in your journey as a Christian.
Understanding is the
only thing that distinguishes one believer from another. There is no substitute
for understanding. Fasting is a waste of time and religious punishment without
understanding. Prayer is a religious oppression as well without understanding.
This is because everything in the kingdom produces to the level of your
understanding.
In the account of the
parable of the sower in Matt
13:18-23, Jesus said the seeds that fell on good ground, are those with a good and
honest heart, who received the word and understand them, and so went on to
produce more fruits, some a hundred-fold, others sixty, and others thirty.
The only variable among the factors listed is
their understanding. The seeds that produced all fell on good grounds, they
were all honest people, but their understanding varied. So, it is the depth of
your understanding of truths of scriptures that determines the heights of your
triumph in life.
The Bible is full of
treasures. It is the will of the God for his children; but will only be
delivered to them according to their understanding. Your understanding of the will
(the
Bible) is what determines which blessings or provisions contained
therein you have access to.
When you understand his
ways, you will be in command of his acts. Moses was in command of his acts
because he understood God’s ways. That was why Moses could get water out of the
rock and the sea to give way (ps.103:7).
