– Knowing God Intimately - By Jim Feiker



ULTIMATE TESTIMONIES - WHAT GOD REMEMBERED THEM BY

Abraham - "God's friend," "My friend" - 2 Chronicles 20:7, James 2:23

Job - "My servant Job...he is blameless and upright - a man who fears God and shuns evil" - Job 1:8

Moses - "My servant and friend." God spoke to Moses "face to face." God made His works known to Israel, but He made known His very nature
and character to Moses (Ps. 103:7) What do we want God to reveal to us?

Enoch - "Enoch walked with God" ( ).

Caleb - "He wholeheartedly followed the Lord" (4 times in Joshua 14:8, 9, 14).

Ezra - "God's hand was on him, for he devoted and disciplined himself to study,
practice and teach the law (Scripture) (Ezra 7:9-10).

David - "For He is a man after my own heart...he relies on and depends on me
continually...he walks before me in integrity of heart" (1 Kings 9:4).

Solomon - "Loved by his God" but his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his
God (1 Kings 11:4).

Jehoshaphat- "He sought God; his heart was devoted to the ways of God, rather than to
follow the practices of Israel" (2 Chron.17: 4, 6).

Asa - "Asa's heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life" (2 Chron.15: 17).

Uzziah - "As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success" (2 Chron. 26:5).

Hezekiah - "He sought his God and worked wholeheartedly, and so he prospered"
(2 Chron. 31:21).

Josiah - "As long as he lived he did not fail to follow the Lord" (2 Chron.34: 33).

Daniel - "Esteemed by his God"- The Spirit of the Living God is in him (Daniel
6:20; 5:14).

John - "Disciple whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23; John 21:20).

Was Paul an exception? No. The godly men were God-centered, Word-centered leaders rather than task or ministry-centered leaders.

J. I. Packer, in Knowing God, says, "What were we made for? To know God. What aim should we set ourselves in life? To know God. What is the ‘eternal life,' that Jesus gives? Knowledge of God. (John 17:3) What is the best thing in life, bringing more joy, delight, and contentment than anything else? Knowledge of God. (Jeremiah 9:23). What, of all the states God ever sees man in, gives Him the most pleasure? The knowledge of
Himself. (Hosea 6:6)"
