PHANEROO~DEVOTION 31st December 2015 THE PRICE OF KNOWLEDGE Apostle Grace Lubega

[Hosea 13.12]; The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.

The Bible speaks of Ephraim as an unwise son who has tarried long at the place where one ought to break forth with child. His time to bring forth child has come but he is unable. This experience is like that of a woman who has been pregnant for nine months and everything around her shows it is time.

In the 15th verse, the Bible says, ‘he is fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasury of every pleasant vessel.’

Ephraim looks fruitful but there is something wrong with him. If you found that pregnant woman, you would give her a place to sit because everything has changed and you know she is due to give birth. If you find the same woman after two months and she is still in the same mode, you will start to wonder why she is taking so long.

Consider this in the
spiritual sense. He is a man so God is not speaking of giving birth in the physical sense. There is nothing as bad as someone who is promising but they are never breaking forth.
Ephraim is just unwise; there is no biological reason why he is not giving birth. The problem as stated in Hosea is that he is an unwise boy.  In other words, there is a wisdom that every man   needs to be quickened. Every child of God must have a certain level of quickening in their life, ministry, business, project or whatever they set out to do. This anointing has to manifest in their lives. But the problem is wisdom.

Proverbs 14.8 says the wisdom of the prudent is to know his way. The problem is that you are rejecting wisdom; you are not investing in it; read the word, speak it upon your life, exercise and condition your spirit to pay the price of knowledge.

Excerpt from the Sermon: APOSTOLIC VOICES, 13th September 2015 by Apostle Grace Lubega

Invest in wisdom; Read the word; Speak it upon your life; Exercise and condition your spirit to pay the price of knowledge.

Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 2:15, Hebrews 4:12
