“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth (Hosea 6:3).

The Bible makes it clear that we receive the revelations of God’s Word at different levels. Some Christians have general insight into the Word of God, while others have higher revelations of Scripture. The difference between the two groups depends on the level of truth in which they function.

For instance, some Christians believe God wants to bless them, which is beautiful. They believe God’s blessings will come into their lives when they yield to His Word and shun all manner of unbelief. Some others have a higher revelation of the same truth; they believe God isn’t just about to bless them, but that He has already blessed them. All they require is to walk in the finished works of Christ.

Beautiful as this latter truth is, there’s yet a higher revelation, which is the fact that God doesn’t need to bless you, because you were born blessed! Your being blessed is no longer dependent on whether God wants to bless you or not; His blessing is part of the new nature you were born with!

There’s more in God’s Word for you to take advantage of. There’re more revelations of the Word than what you currently have. That’s why Hosea 4:6 says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord.” Get to know the Word; increase your Word-vocabulary and constantly function in what you know at each new level. That way, the Spirit of God will reveal deeper truths to you, thus making your walk with Him an ever richer experience. Open your heart today to receive more from Him, for there’s more in the Word than you could ever know.

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for opening the eyes of my heart to see the truth of your Word beyond the letters. As I study and meditate on your Word today, I receive deeper truths that’ll help me know you more and serve you better, in Jesus’ Name.
