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 will, nature, and purpose of God
are revealed in His Word. To neglect the Word is to be in the dark about the
will of the Father, and how He wants you to live. This is one reason you must
know the Word for yourself. He said, "My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge": the knowledge of God’s Word. So you see, God’s people can fail
in life, if they’re ignorant; not because the Word is void of power. Jesus said
in Mark 7:13, You have made the Word of God of non-effect by your traditions.
People who live by the traditions and
wisdom of men make the Word of non-effect in their own lives; they
short-circuit the power of the Word of God, making it unproductive for them.
God’s Word always has power, but it loses its effectiveness in the life of the
one who tries to rationalize it with human information or sense knowledge.
Let the Word be your standard, and
"check system" in upgrading your life from glory to glory. You need
this to become the man or woman God destined you to be. Some people have
been Christians for years but don’t have information about God’s plan and
purpose for their lives. They’re not sure what the will of God is concerning
anything. God’s Word is His will expressed; which is why you must invest time
to study and meditate on the Word, to know your inheritance in Christ.
As you get to know your heritage in
Him, you also learn to take possession of what the Word of God says belong to
you. Furthermore, you’re also able to understand the purpose for your
inheritance in Him, the reason He has blessed you so much, and how to use the
blessing rightly.
Confession
Thank you Lord for granting me to be
filled with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding. Thus, I’m able to discern and walk in your perfect will at all
times. My life is the fulfilment of the destiny that you’ve ordained for me, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
