Being Fruitful in Knowledge

2 Peter 1: 8

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that  you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to be fruitful in knowledge?

Some would say to know the Word by memory, and be very smart in all things. Is that what this verse is speaking of?

Knowledge in this verse means-

epignōsis

Pronunciation

e-pē'-gnō-sēs (Key)-

1) precise and correct knowledge

a) used in the NT of the knowledge of things ethical and divine.

 

 

We are to have knowledge of all things ethical and divine of Our Lord Jesus and yes that means knowing and reading the Word, but that also means knowing His voice from any other voice. Or knowing what the Lord would have you do any given circumstance.

 

How do you know when the Lord is leading you?

How do you recognize His voice?

 

Jhn 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me

 

Know in this verse is the Greek word-γινώσκω ginōskō

1) to learn to know, come to know, get a knowledge of perceive, feel

a) to become known

2) to know, understand, perceive, have knowledge of

a) to understand

b) to know

3) Jewish idiom for sexual intercourse between a man and a woman

4) to become acquainted with, to know

 

We know His voice through constant communion with Him.

Would you join me this week in asking for wisdom from our Lord in every situation, and discerning His voice above the rest?

At the end of week- I will share what the Lord has done for me this week, and of course I want to hear from all of you as well!!

May the peace of our Lord Jesus be with you dear Saints of Christ!!

Angie

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
