PHILIPPIANS 3:10

Beloved, we need to know Christ more intimately, that our relationship with Him may grow deeper and never fade until we see Him in the final resurrection. Deeper knowing of Christ is to know the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. The power of the resurrection is the life-giving power of God, manifested in the raising of Christ from the dead, which also works in us (Ephesians 1:19).The resurrection of Jesus conquered
death and provided the way to know the Lord. When we are saved, we experience the power, but then we experience the sufferings. It is the power of the resurrection that enables us to share in His sufferings.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, when we “know Christ”, we share in His sufferings. Sharing in “His sufferings” include sharing in both the joys and struggles of Christ. We are strengthened to do this by the power of His resurrection that resides in us. The more we know of Him, the more we will be like Him since He is our model. We receive every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. (Ephesians 1:3) No
circumstances, affliction, lack, sickness will prevent us from coming to Him in a deeper and more intimate fashion. PRAISE THE LORD.

PRAYER FOCUS: My Father and my Lord, please give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of You.
