Saturday Rhapsody Of Realities - Get Spiritual Knowledge

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).

The underlined portion of the verse above is very profound; God is talking; and He says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” In other words, the reason many are impoverished, punished and brought down, is their lack of knowledge. However, it’s important to note the kind of knowledge He’s referring to: it’s knowledge of spiritual things, the revelation knowledge of God.

Ignorance of God’s Word is a destroyer. Isaiah 5:13 says, “Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.” As a child of God, you must invest in, and go after God’s Word. Hosea 6:3 says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord….” You can only make progress, increase and spread abroad in prosperity, through the knowledge of God’s Word.

2 Peter 1:2 says, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.” The only way grace and peace can be multiplied in your life is through the knowledge of God’s Word; so, you must give time and attention to the Word in your life. Some Christians have a swelling library of worldly videos, journals and magazines. They regularly feed their minds with such materials, but their spirits are deficient of God’s Word; no wonder they live in spiritual lameness and are defeated in life.

Feed your spirit with the Word. If you want to see the glory of God in your life, then you must enrich your spirit with the Word. The spiritual liberty and blessings of God you’ll enjoy in your life would be dependent on the knowledge of God that you have in your spirit. The less spiritual knowledge you have and apply, the less the blessings of the Spirit that’ll flow through you. You need the Word in you to give you the edge in life, and cause you to live above this world’s systems.

PRAYER: Dear Father, I set my heart and soul on your Word, to live therein! Your Word is my life and my sustenance; and as the deer pants for the waters, so my soul thirsts and yearns for your Word, which I cherish and delight in more than physical food. Your Word in me makes me triumphant, constantly propelling me in the higher life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: || Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ||

|| Proverbs 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. ||

|| Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ||
