The Daily Fountain Devotional of the Church Of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) 24 April 2024 – Know The Truth And Abide In The Truth
TOPIC: Know The Truth And Abide In The Truth
READ: 2 John 1: 1-3(NKJV)
- THE ELDER, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,
- because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
- Grace, mercy, [and] peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
THE MESSAGE:
Zeal without knowledge is a dangerous cankerworm. Truth-based knowledge is knowledge made authentic without corruption. Truth is a liberator, a great deliverer and powerful light which darkness cannot comprehend. The undiluted truth we need to walk in this world in order not to stumble is the truth from God and we must clearly know this truth. In today’s text, Apostle John greets the Elect lady and her children whom he loved in the truth for the truth dwelt in them; knowledge of this truth is the first step in abiding in the truth. God is the embodiment of this truth – Jesus is the Way, the Life and the Truth and the word of God is the totality of this truth with us.
God’s will for you is: Buy the truth, do not sell the truth, for the truth cannot be broken. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8: 32). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth so we must be filled with the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit of truth comes into you, He will guide you into all the truth, then you can abide in the truth. In your office, you must let your life radiate the truth – speaking the truth in every situation!
Guard your loins with truth, it is a weapon of defence! Surely those that know the truth shall do exploits.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please guide me into all the truth in Jesus’ name, Amen.
