ZEAL PLUS KNOWLEDGE
TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
TUESDAY, 24TH JANUARY 2017.
TOPIC: ZEAL PLUS KNOWLEDGE
SCRIPTURE: Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God -Romans10:1-3
MEMORY VERSE: Acts 22:3
DIGGING: It is possible to be sincere, zealous, even militant and passionate about God and religion, and yet be lost. because we are not submitting to the righteous plan and will of God.
Saul was full of zeal for the things of God. But yet He was busy going round killing believers thinking he was preserving the law. It is important that we, as Christians, also have zeal for God and the things of God. But zeal alone is not enough. For zeal to be productive, we need to add knowledge.
Understand these:
1] Those that have zeal but lack knowledge are mechanical Christians and lack the principles of God.
2] Have passion for the things of God and not for God.
3] Zeal alone can make one work for God and not with God.
4] Zeal without knowledge is to be driven with emotions without insight.
5] Zeal alone establishes you in self righteousness and doctrine.
Knowledge gives you the understanding of God, His personality, His ways and His will.
Our text reveals the order we must operate from first Knowledge then submitting to the righteousness of God, and then to zeal. Each of us should have zeal even more than we presently have for God but it must always be based on the
knowledge of God's will and our submission to Him.
Remember this: Nothing makes men miss God like zeal without the knowledge of God.
PRAYER: 1] O Lord let me grow in You everyday
2] O Lord let my zeal be in alignment with Your knowledge.
