Philippians 3:8 KJV
Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,

THE SACRIFICE FOR THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST
      In Prov 3:5 the Bible instructs us not to lean on our own understanding, but this instruction is also extended in the process where one is acquiring for the excellency in the knowledge of Christ.
Excellency in the knowledge of Christ is a place of carrying a full and pure divine counsel about the knowledge of Christ.

        A man to get acquainted to the perfect knowledge of God has to count all things loss. This act is to usher someone in the place where his heart is broken enough to yield to the Holy Spirit to give him a pure insight or interpretation in the knowledge of Christ, not basing on what he knows.

Excellency is obtained when a man puts down his ego or what he seems to know (the experience) and submit to the ministry of the Spirit to reveal to him new things.
               The main point here is that we don't receive the full counsel of the Word by our own experiences but it's from you yielding to the Holy Spirit and interpret the Word by the power of the Spirit.

GOLDEN NUGGET 
Excellency of the knowledge of Christ is received when one puts down all what he seems to know and focus on the ministration of the Spirit in the revealing of revelations in Christ.

PRAYER
Loving father I thank You for this Word, I appreciate the gift of the Holy Spirit and I also embrace His ministry in my life. I don't struggle with knowing You and Jesus Christ because the Spirit in me reveals to me all things. In Jesus name I pray AMEN

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:7(NKJV) Romans 6:14(NKJV) 1 John:18(NKJV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I Thank you for the power that continually make me live above sin, I live and move as a victor because the world finds ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." There are many commandments that were given to the children of Israel but then we see Jesus Christ The Son of God enlightening us in this part of scripture that there is no other c...

Necessity Of Fasting

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible study department Thursday 13th June 2024 Mathew 17:21 (kJV)   "How beit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." NECESSITY OF FASTING In the book of Mathew 9:14-15,we realize that the groom left only when he spent 3 days in the grave. We all believe in His resurrection and the bible clearly tells us that when we received Him He begun to dwell in us, in other words the bridegroom is with us still. So why then do we fast?? Many christians have it on their minds that it's because they fast that they receive results simply because they received results after some serious days, weeks, months, or even years of fasting, this is a very inconsistent way to go about fasting because if you think that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough, then how much more is your fasting insufficient?? , you can't help God by fasting. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:27(AMP) ".........but like a boxer, I buffett my...
