THE
POWER OF KNOWLEDGE –
Saturday September 24th 2016
Memorise:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: Because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: Seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea
4:6
Read:
Proverbs 1:20-29, (KJV)
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the
streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings
of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and
the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my
spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have
stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would
none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when
your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your
destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer;
they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the
fear of the Lord:

MESSAGE
Knowledge can be defined in two
major ways; first, as an acquaintance with the body of truths, facts, or
principles accumulated in the course of time from study or investigation. On
the other hand, knowledge can also be defined as the illumination of the mind,
especially by the Word of God, leading to delight and increased pleasure in
God. It should be noted that whenever the Bible talks about knowledge and
knowing, it is usually in the sense of knowledge as an illumination of the mind
by the Word of God. Biblical knowledge is a combination of scientific,
philosophical, psychological, and spiritual knowledge; and this kind of
knowledge is superior to any other. Open Heavens 24 September 2016:- The Power
of Knowledge
In reference to the knowledge of the
Word of God Hosea 4:6 says:
“My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge: Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will
also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: Seeing thou hast forgotten
the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
As I have always said, knowledge is
power because it is a major factor that controls the process of decision making
and therefore ultimately determines the course of life. It is the level of your
knowledge about any particular subject that determines your ability to make the
right decisions about the subject. It is in this light that Proverbs 1:29 says those who despise or detest
knowledge do so at their risk. Every Christian needs to know that dependence on
worldly knowledge may lead to failure, but godly knowledge guarantees success.

Do you know that if you know more
about God and His Word, it will affect you in making error-proof choices and
decisions? That is why Proverbs 1:23
says,
“Turn you at my
reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words
unto you.”
The elements you need in taking
those crucial decisions are contained in the Bible, prophetic utterances of
genuine men of God and what He would like to say directly to you. How much time
have you given to studying at His feet? Some think it is a waste of time to
undertake personal Bible study while others are sleeping at midnight. No. You
are gaining time. At the end, you will realize you spent far less time and
effort in reaching your goal than the one who never cared to give priority to
God’s Word.

Father,
please give me enlightenment and understanding by Your Word in Jesus’ name.
