Hos.4.6 - 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.
I read this and the quest for much more knowledge engulfs me. Look at how he puts it, My people. Meaning you can belong to God and yet perish. Infact, the option of perishing is not hinging on belonging but about knowledge. (They that KNOW their God)
God in His mercy will show you something strange like a beast with strange attributes, but you wake up and swipe it off But the one you see yourself counting money, that's how you'll hold that dream so precious and run with it. Well, I don't blame you, I blame the kind of message that is preached in my generation especially in Africa. The message of prosperity which is a good message, but have you not noticed that 90% of those that prosper in Africa cannot pass their prosperity down to their children?
So you'll go to church and all you'll hear is, this is your time, this is your moment. And God comes with a vision of a beast in your dream and you ignore it.
Everything is ruled by the spirit! If you want to start praying now, and you start praying, signalled are emitted and those spirits are already alerted that someone is trying to talk to God. So the prince of Persia will raise a standard and try to block it. We're talking about spirits who have no value even for God!
If Satan can cause a war in heaven, how about your home?
So when they say it's your season, tell your neighbor it's your moment and you shout, then go back home and God gives you a vision, what do you do?
By giving you a vision, He expects you to activate priesthood to fix and claim that which you have received. But you have no knowledge about it. But you're ignorant. Satan doesn't fight always, but he fights when he's ready to win.
Hos.4.6 - 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.
The consequence of rejecting knowledge is a loss in priesthood. And being no priest means that, your garment is taken away a d Satan is free to buffet you as he likes. I tell you, knowledge makes you keep your priestly garment. You see what happened to Adam and Eve? By what Eve didn't know, they were stripped of
By what Eve didn't know, they were stripped off their garments.
Through knowledge is a house built, but through understanding is it established. Common! The knowledge I'm talking about is not acquiring Information only, but acting on the information you acquired. Infact the true proof of knowledge is the application of the facts gathered.
May the Lord give you understanding in Jesus name,
