In the last series, it was made known that the major key to destiny fulfillment is:
- The knowledge of the truth; the working knowledge, knowing what to do to acquire what you desire.
- The understanding of the truth; knowing the right key that opens; that key of revelation.
Today, let’s consider the scripture below.
’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 most dangerous weapon in the hand of the devil is ignorance. Once he succeed in blocking people from having access to light they are gone. We are tree of righteousness; the planting of the Lord. The surest way to kill a tree is to withdraw light from it; (if you withdraw water from a tree you will notice it and quickly put water; but when you gradually withdraw light from any plant it is gone, it will die)
”The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
”To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
” To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified’ Isaiah 61:1-3.
To Preach means to teach them or proclaim. How will he minister liberty to the captive? He will teach them. Once you know your position in Christ Jesus; the devil will move far from you. Jesus use most of his time teaching the people. How will the prison open? Through the knowledge. Revelation is the cure for frustration; go for the word. The only way to kill a tree is to withdraw light from it. What is light?
”Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. psalm 119:105.
There will never be a day when light will beg darkness, no! The speed at which the light comes in is the speed at which the darkness will go out. It is not about how long you have stayed in the faith or your title; it is about knowing what to do. Knowledge has to be adequate and relevant; otherwise you will be trapped. Light is not just the knowledge of the truth; it is the understanding of the truth.
”The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple’ .Psalm 119:130.
As important as salvation is, as complete as salvation is; the devil can cut people off from it, through ignorance.
”But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost’ 2 Corinth. 4:3.
Jesus laid down his life, he suffered, did everything possible to save us; but the devil can still cut people off, from salvation through ignorance; that is to tell you how “powerful” the weapon of ignorance is. What is the gospel? It is the goodnews of (Luke 4:18), the goodnews of (Isaiah 61:1). He was called to proclaim liberty for them but the goodnews is that you don’t have to pay the price for it again, Jesus paid the price; but he said this goodnews about your job, career, children . . . the devil can still cut you off if you’re ignorant of it. That is why he said but if our gospel be hid, it is hidden to them that are lost; in whom the god of this world has blinded their mind not their eyes. What does it mean to blind people’s mind; through the lack of understanding. So lack of understanding of any subject; it can make a dummy out of you. Ignorance is terrible; It can rob people of their glory anytime, any day, so don’t tolerate it. (mind even what your children watch, junks can easily be stored in their head through what they have watched).
