The Knowledge
That Makes Us
Masters
pastor chris
For this cause we also, since the day we heard
it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire
that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his
will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding
(Colossians 1:9).
In the opening verse above, the Apostle Paul
specifically prayed for the Colossian brethren
to be filled with the full knowledge of God’s will. This
was the knowledge of God that Paul had, and lived by;
which made him extraordinary and distinguished him
among the Apostles. It’s the knowledge that makes us
masters. It puts you over in life.
In Christ, we’re ordained of God to live as
champions and reign as kings in life. The reason this
hasn’t been the experience of many is that they haven’t
learnt to walk in the knowledge of God’s will. Romans
12:2 tells us about the good, the acceptable, and the
perfect will of God: “And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
The ultimate is walking in God’s perfect will; but
that only builds from having fellowship with the Holy
Spirit. As you fellowship with Him through prayer, study
of the Word and meditation, you’ll know His perfect
will, intent and purposes. Through that intimacy, you’ll
become more like Him; united with Him in thought
8
and character.
You become a consistent victor when you function
with the full and exact knowledge of His perfect will
for your life. You’ll always know what to do in every
situation; all your efforts and resources will constantly
be channelled in the right direction to achieve the right
results. You can know and live in His perfect will.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for guiding me
through your Word, and the Holy Spirit,
to know and walk in your perfect will
for me. I’m filled with your wisdom
to overcome every challenge I may
face, and to do excellently in all my
endeavours, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Virtue: Moral
Excellence
pastor chris
According as his divine power hath given
unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that
hath called us to glory and virtue
(2 Peter 1:3).
Our opening verse says we’ve been called
to glory and virtue; meaning that inside of
you is the glory of God and the power to do right.
Virtue means moral excellence that’s dependent on
moral energy; the power to do right. It’s the work of
the Spirit of God produced from inside you, but you
have to walk in it.
For example, you can refuse to cheat at work or
school. The power or moral energy to resist such an
act is in you. Acts 1:8 says, “…Ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you….” This
power is inherent in you. When the Holy Spirit comes
to reside in you, He energizes you from within for the
life of moral excellence. You have the inherent ability
to set your mind to do what is right, and refuse that
which is wrong.
This is what 2 Peter 1:5 tells us: “And beside this,
giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue….” This
doesn’t mean that “virtue” isn’t already in you, or that
you’re to try and get it, and add it to your faith; no! The
word “add” is the Greek “epichoregeo” and it means
10
