“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus, our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:’
(2 Peter 1:2-3)
Until we know God personally and intimately, we cannot access or enjoy His provisions. Do you know that even Grace and Peace are multiplied to us on the platform of knowledge? All the power available from God to live and be godly comes through knowledge. Until we go for knowledge via teaching and instruction, the blessings of life and godliness may be farfetched.
Knowledge is essential. Knowledge in all areas of life is important. Knowledge gives us the power and audacity to face and tackle the challenges of life with confidence. There are two types of knowledge:
- Secular knowledge
- Spiritual knowledge
As far as God is concerned, spiritual knowledge is superior to gold and silver! To know God is more valuable than money. God laments about lack of knowledge, not about lack of money!
It is dangerous to lack knowledge. The Bible says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” And not, “My people are destroyed for lack of money.” Ignorance of God and His word is more destructive than lack of money.
Do you know that every time Israel turned from God due to their ignorance of God and His laws, they went onto a path of eventual destruction? If you don’t want destruction, then embrace the knowledge of God.
3 benefits of knowledge: - Freedom
Our freedom is anchored on the threshold of knowledge!
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) - Exploits
Knowledge of God procures the power to do exploits in life.
“… but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”
(Daniel 11:32) - Strength
A man of knowledge has the advantage of strength. A man of knowledge is powerful even as he grows stronger and stronger!
“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.”
(Proverbs 24:5)
I decree and declare that you will engage the power of knowledge to make a difference in your world in Jesus’ mighty name.
