TOPIC: Acknowledge The Good In You (Rhapsody of Realities, 5 March 2025)
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today:
In our previous study, I explained the insightful words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 15:29, where he expressed his intentions regarding his visit to the Roman church: “And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.” If Paul could walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel, so can you! It’s your calling. Many are, however, at sea as to how to walk in this reality; how to walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ!
But our theme verse reveals an important truth that’s very key. It says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” That means the sharing or participation of your faith, the exercise of your faith, will become effectual through the acknowledgement of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. In other words, the way to make your faith effectual is by acknowledging the good things in you in Christ Jesus.
The word “acknowledge” is translated from the Greek “epignōsis.”” Itmeans to have full discernment, a rrecognition It is the knowledge in which the knower relates to that which is known; it’s a knowledge that involves a relationship with the object of kknowledge. It is a precise, accurate and correct understanding of what God has made you and what He has deposited in you through the Gospel.
Now that you’re born again and in Christ Jesus, there are certain good things within you that He wants you to take knowledge of. The Word of God and the ministry of the Holy Spirit remain the only reliable source for you to acquire this kind of knowledge.

Again,in Colossians 1:9, Paul uses the same word, epignosis: “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for yyouand to desire that ye might be filled with the kknowledge(Greek: epignosis) of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.”
Walking in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel requires active acknowledgement andfull and precise knowledge of the good things within you in Christ. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the good things that are in me. I acknowledge and walk in the fullness of these blessings, producing results in my life and being a blessing to others. Through the Word and the Spirit, I gain accurate knowledge of my inheritance in Christ and live in the reality of it, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
