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).
God said through the prophet
Hosea that His people are destroyed, defeated and broken because they lack
knowledge. Meaning that, their bane isn’t that they lack faith or are not
making the right effort; the reason they aren’t walking in victory and dominion
is their ignorance. This, therefore, means that as God’s children, we must keep
making conscious efforts to learn and be taught God’s Word. If you have more
accurate knowledge of the Word, you’ll live in victory and dominion every day
of your life, irrespective of any adversity.
Some people think that living in
constant victory and dominion isn’t possible, and they’re wrong. To hold such a
belief is to ignore what Jesus came to do. He came to give us the life and
nature of God: the transcendent life. In John 10:10 (NIV), He said, "The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have
life, and have it to the full." He didn’t come to establish another
religion, because the world already had enough of them before He came, and
Christianity is not a religion. The Amplified translation says, He came that we
might have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance—to the full, till it
overflows.
Perhaps you never thought it’s
God’s idea for you to enjoy your life; now you know! But how can you enjoy life
when things are not right with you? How can you enjoy life if you’re ignorant
of all that He’s provided for you in Christ? This is why you must have a
personal relationship with God and His Word, so you can know how to live in
absolute victory every day. The Word of God is able to build you up, and cause
you to live the kind of life God desires for you: a life above struggles and
pains; a life of glory, righteousness, and dominion in Christ Jesus.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I
thank you for giving me a life of glory, success and victory. Daily, I search
the Scriptures and appropriate into my life what it says concerning me in
Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
