KNOW GOD FOR YOURSELF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Text: Acts 17:11 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most dangerous things in the Christian life is believing something simply because someone you respect said it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy pastor said\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy papa said\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy prophet said\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy church said\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the question is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat does God say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respect your pastor. Honour your spiritual leaders. Learn from those who have gone ahead of you. But never surrender your personal responsibility to know God’s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bereans did not reject Paul’s teaching, but they searched the Scriptures to find out whether what they were being taught was true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is spiritual maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people have been sincerely following wrong teachings simply because they never opened the Bible to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have never asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere is this written?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat does Scripture actually say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs this God’s Word, or merely someone’s interpretation of God’s Word?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is where many people become vulnerable to manipulation and spiritual error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot build your entire faith on \u201csomebody said. One day, your faith must move from: \u201cMy pastor says\u2026” to \u201cI have searched the Scriptures, and I know what God says.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From: \u201cMy papa told me\u2026\u201d to \u201cI have studied God’s Word for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul warned, \u201cProve all things; hold fast that which is good.\u201d 1 Thessalonians 5:21<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God did not give you a mind so that you could switch it off in the presence of a spiritual leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respect authority, but test teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen, but search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receive, but examine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn from men, but know God for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because when the pressure comes, when your leader is not there, when everybody around you is saying something different, you need a conviction that comes from your own encounter with God’s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people don’t actually know what they believe, they only know what somebody told them to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God wants sons and daughters who know His voice, understand His Word, and can stand firmly even when nobody is there to tell them what to think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let another person’s voice become louder than God’s Word in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Search the Scriptures, pray, ask God for understanding, study, and know Him for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer<\/strong>:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father, deliver me from blindly following the opinions of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give me hunger for Your Word and wisdom to distinguish Your voice from the voices of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help me to respect my spiritual leaders without making them a substitute for You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let my faith be rooted in Your Word and my relationship with You be personal and genuine. In Jesus’ name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declaration<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will not live by \u201cmy pastor said\u201d alone.
I will seek to know what God says.
I will search the Scriptures.
I will test what I hear.
I will know God’s Word for myself.
I will know God for myself.
My faith will be rooted in truth, not merely in the opinions of men.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
