From Acceptance to Approval: Living a Life That Pleases the Fatherಮಾದರಿ

THE POWER OF REVELATION IN OUR WALK WITH GOD

Until revelation comes, a man will remain in darkness concerning the things of God. John the Baptist had an exceptional revelation when he saw the Spirit descending and resting upon Jesus, confirming Him as the Lamb of God. Before that experience, John knew Jesus naturally as his cousin, but it took divine revelation for him to recognise the divine identity of Jesus. Without revelation, it is impossible to relate to the things of God correctly. Mark 6:1–5 reveals that Jesus could do no mighty work in His hometown because the people related to Him naturally, not by revelation. Their inability to see beyond the natural robbed them of the blessings that could have been theirs.

Beloved, everything in your Christian journey stands or falls on the platform of revelation. If you do not have a personal revelation of Jesus as your Lord, your relationship with Him will remain weak and shallow. You cannot truly obey a God you do not know. You cannot genuinely love a God you merely hear about without a personal encounter. Revelation brings light, understanding, and a correct response to divine things. It changes the way you see your Bible, your calling, your brothers and sisters in Christ, and even yourself. Until you see by revelation, you will relate wrongly, act wrongly, and miss divine timings.

I want you to learn that growing beyond acceptance into divine approval requires that you live and walk by revelation. Pray daily for the eyes of your understanding to be enlightened. Ask the Father to unveil His Word to you. Approach your Christian life not as a routine, but with a yearning to see and know Him more deeply. Revelation transforms the familiar into the divine, the ordinary into the extraordinary. As you walk with God in this devotional, seek revelation. Let your hunger not just be for blessings but for divine insight that changes your heart and deepens your walk with the Father. That is how you grow into a son that pleases Him.

THOUGHT TO PONDER: Are you relating to the things of God based on natural familiarity or on personal revelation? What steps are you taking daily to deepen your understanding and revelation of the Father?

PRAYER: Dear Father, open the eyes of my understanding. Help me know You beyond religion and walk in deep, vibrant relationship with You. Unveil treasures in Your Word and lead me into deeper intimacy. Help me live a life that pleases You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
