The Experience Of Epignosis – 2

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 2:9(KJV); But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

The scriptures reveal two kinds of knowledge, EPIGNOSIS and GNOSKO.

Gnosko is progressive knowledge, that which one acquires gradually with their study of the Word while epignosis is the advanced, complete and perfect knowledge in and of God.

Epignosis does not come by gnosko. This means that you can never study the Word of God enough to have the complete knowledge of God.

Rather, gnosko seeks to lead you to the experience of epignosis. Some people study the Word with only the satisfaction of gnosko. All they need is the word for the now; what can help them get a job? What can help them heal their body? What can help them grow their business?

Some sermons are taught for the now. They minister to the present needs of men and seek to give them things that are done with their doing.

The Word of God is deeper than that.

There are those who read the scriptures in the understanding that these scriptures are opening them to the experience of epignosis. Sermons must be preached with the end of opening men to the experience of the advanced, complete and perfect Knowledge of God- epignosis.

The Church must embrace epignosis. It is what makes us heads and not tails; why the gates of hell shall fail to prevail against us; it is how we overcome the world.

Glory to God!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The Church must embrace the complete and perfect knowledge in God. It is what makes us heads and not tails; why the gates of hell shall fail to prevail against us; it is how we overcome the world.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for this day. I thank you for access to the depths in you and to insights into the mysteries of eternity and of who you are. I refuse to scratch the surface in understanding who you are. I embrace epignosis and the responsibility it places upon my life. In this wisdom, my prayer life changes, my service to you changes and my worship to you changes. I seek you in the experience of epignosis. To the glory of your name, Amen.
