The Mistake of Memorizing Who God is.

Great men in the Bible who knew God Personally.

Rejoice,
Rejoice and be glad.

Goodnews: this morning I want to share with you briefly examples of great men in the Bible
who knew who God is personally, and didn't memorize him. There is a great danger in Memorizing who God is.
when temptation arises, instantly you will forget everything about God.
let us begin with our Father of faith:

ABRAHAM.
Abraham was promised a child Isaac, and it took 25 years to be delivered, the only reason
he could wait for so long was because he knew God in person, NO, he didn't memorize God.
He never have to know God through other People experiences, Abraham knew God for himself.
he has a personal experience of who God is. That is why God could call Abraham his friend. You too can become God friend today if you so desire. So I want  to encourage you to begin to know who God is for yourself by studying your Bible. Seek and you shall find.( Mat;7v7)( Rom:4v16-22).

ISAAC.
God told Isaac not to go to the land of Egypt in the midst of severe famine in the land, that he will bless him in the land of the Philistines, and while Isaac stayed he faced so much challenges from his neighbors. But at the end he sowed in the land obediently and reaped a hundred fold in return, in the same year.             ( Gen:26v1-12)

JOSEPH.
You can call him Joseph the dreamer, from a very young age, God almighty revealed himself to the boy Joseph through a dream that was to pattern his life forever.
The most crucial moment of Joseph life and ministry was when he refused Potiphars wife, that I cannot lay with you because I fear God. These strong words of decision coming from the heart and ,mouth of a little boy. It shows that all through his young age, he has been taking out time to know who God is, so that in the days of trials, he could boldly say I CANNOT DO THIS AND SIN AGAINST GOD. (Gen:39v1-20)
This person didn't memerize God, he knew who God is.
By the grace of God, as you take a new stand, God the Holy Spirit WILL REVEAL HIMSELF to you in Jesus name. Amen. Please note that, you have a responsible of finding him out for yourself through the Bible. (2Tim:2v15)

SHADRACH MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO,
These three Hebrew boys who stood there ground against a whole nation and in the presence of a King of the land Nebuchadnezzar to defend the name and power and the supremacy of who God is.
You can bet they know God in PERSON and never Memorize him name, but had a personal relationship with him through life experiences and day to day obedience of his word. This is one great way to know God in Person, by simple obedience of what the Bible says.
During temptation, in their words, they said to the king; "O Nebuchadnezzar, WE ARE NOT CAREFUL TO ANSWER THEE IN THIS MATTER" Did you see the boldness with which they spoke, calling the King by his first name, meaning, King do what you like, WE WILL NOT BOW TO YOUR GOD!  WE HAVE A LIVING GOD WHO IS ABLE TO SAVE US!.
From today henceforth, that shall be your story in Jesus name. Amen.

ALL GLORY TO THE HOLY GHOST.
JESUS IS LORD.
