PHANEROO~DEVOTION 9th April 2016 Apostle Grace Lubega

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 OFFENCE OF IGNORANCE

When you start to grow in God, you realize that it is important that you be conscious of the offence of ignorance. Ignorance is an offence in the spirit: when a man is ignorant, that is the beginning point of starting to breach the Spirit.

Now when many read the scriptures about God’s people perishing for lack of knowledge, they shift the responsibility of knowledge to the men that are perishing for want of it and not them. But the scripture says that people perish because the priests have rejected knowledge. The world is as it is because of the prevalent ignorance of Christians, and sadly, by some that stand behind the pulpits. The Psalmist says the foundations are out of course because the Gods know nothing, they know not, understand not and walk in darkness.

There is nothing as disturbing to the spiritual world and the divine patterns of counsel and judgment as the ignorance of a child of God. See, the greatest access that came to you as a partaker of divinity was access to knowledge. That is the purpose for the keys that are handed to Peter, the Church, knowledge. By knowledge we bind, by knowledge we loose.

GOLDEN NUGGET: Ignorance is an offence in the spirit.

PRAYER: Father we thank you for the great mandate we carry as your priests and your children to change this world with the gospel. We can only do so if we know, for they that know their God shall do mighty exploits. We thank you that knowledge increases in us, we are established in understanding and built up in wisdom. Thank you because every day we pay the price to know. Surely it is not a price higher than the grace, that all sufficient grace. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
