Apostle Grace Lubega
John 17:23 (KJV); I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
We are all familiar with teachings that emphasise that we are separate from God. Some people’s prayers are an expression of this separation.
They say, “God is far above and I am down below. God is too far because I am a sinner.”
Any message that distances a believer from God also has the direct effect of alienating him from the knowledge of God.
The teaching that builds us in the knowledge of God is the kind which reconciles us to Him in oneness.
Like Christ says in our theme scripture, ‘He in us, God in Him, that we may be made perfect in one that the world may know that God sent Him.’
When we are reminded that in God we live, move and have our being, we know Him more (Acts 17:28). When we understand that we are the temple of God, we know Him more (1 Corinthians 3:16). When we remember that He that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit, we know Him more (1 Corinthians 6:17).
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: When we are reminded that in God we live, move and have our being, we know Him more. When we understand that we are the temple of God, we know Him more. When we remember that He that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit, we know Him more.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Thank You for reminding me of who I am. We are one and by this testimony, the world knows that You sent me. I am reconciled in vision, thought and perception. Your thoughts are my thoughts and Your ways are my ways, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
