An accepted code of conduct; acceptable behaviour in a given situation or group.

 

*Ephesians 1:15-19*

“Therefore I also, after I *heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus* and *your love for all the saints*, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may *give* to you *the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him*, 18 the *eyes of your understanding being enlightened*; that you may *know what is the hope of His calling*, what are *the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints*, 19 and what is *the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe*, according to the working of His mighty power. ”

 

To command the divine power God has given:

 

*Points to note*

1. You have to *receive* by faith with thanksgiving what has been given to you.

2. The *Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him*

 

*Genesis 1:1* - “In the beginning, God…”

*1 Corinthians 1:24* - “but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”

*John 1:18* - “No one has seen God [His essence, His divine nature] at any time; the [One and] only begotten God [that is, the unique Son] who is in the intimate presence of the Father, He has explained Him [and interpreted and revealed the awesome wonder of the Father].”

 

Christ is the demonstration of the wisdom of God.

 

*Daniel 11:32b* - “but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.”

 

Satan will encourage you to chase anything but pursue the revelation in the knowledge of God.

 

Father, I annul anything that is obstructing my pursuit of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ today. I receive a fresh passion to chase after God wholeheartedly today.

 

3. After the revelation of who Jesus Christ is, then *the eyes of your understanding, which hitherto were darkened, can now be enlightened.*

 

*Matthew 6:22-23* - “The light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. *If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!*”

 

Without superior understanding, you cannot take advantage of the instruments of dominion God has provided for you.

 

*Job 17:4* - For You have hid their heart from understanding; therefore You shall not exalt them.”

 

*Proverbs 21:16* - “The man that wanders out of the way of understanding *shall remain in the congregation of the dead*.”

 

*Daniel 5:14* - “I have even heard of thee that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in thee.”

 

Your rising, promotion, or lifting is tied to your understanding of the mysteries of this Kingdom. Access to superior understanding will make people marvel at the possibilities God is able to demonstrate in and through your life.

 

*Prayer Point 2*

*1 John 5:20* - “And we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true; and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and Eternal Life.”

 

Father, let your Light penetrate every nook and cranny of darkness in my mind and soul. As I study your word, let my understanding be fruitful, unraveling the mysteries of the Kingdom. Make me to be like like the children of Issachar, who were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do. IJN

 

4. Now that the eyes of your understanding are enlightened, you will be equipped to know your:

a. *Calling* - What is the hope of His calling.

b. *Capital* - The riches of the glory of His inheritances in the saints.

c. *Capacity* - The exceeding greatness of His power toward us who *believe*.

 

*Prayer Point 3*

Father, amplify my capacity to believe You and Your Word. I thank You because you are fulfilling your calling and all the good pleasure of Your goodness and work of faith in me with power, that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in me, and me in Him according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ IJN.
