KNOWLEDGE?

We all have some knowledge. Some of us may have knowledge in many areas and some may have more knowledge and some may have less. Regardless of what knowledge you may have and what area it is in, do you have knowledge in what is most important?

I know that there are going to be some that will disagree with what I am about to say. If that applies to anyone, that is OK. I am not responsible for your decisions in this life, you are.  Before your gift of life, our Creator gave us a Book of Life and instructions on how we should live that life. That book is called the Holy Bible. My purpose is not to convert you to some denomination, but to encourage you to study God’s Word to show thyself approved.

Jesus spoke the following as recorded in John 8: 31-32 NKJV; Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The word knowledge in the Bible denotes an understanding, a recognition, or an acknowledgement. To know something is to perceive it or to be aware of it. Many times in the Scripture, knowledge carries the idea of a deeper appreciation of something. The Bible is is very clear that the knowledge of God is the most valuable knowledge a human being can possess. We must understand that the Bible is very clear that simply being aware of God’s existence is not sufficient. Satan believes and knows that God exist. We must have a knowledge of God that encompasses a deep appreciation for and a personal relationship with Him.

My lesson of knowledge starts with Hosea Chapter 4 with emphases on verse 6; My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me.

Maybe you have forgotten the law of God. I suggest reading the entire chapter. Why, because the lack of knowledge is so dangerous? When you lack knowledge regarding the things of God, you have actively ignored it which is a sin.

Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts (propositional knowledge), skills (procedural knowledge), or objects acquaintance knowledge). … The term “knowledge” can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.

Knowledge is the collective information and facts acquired through education or experience. Knowledge is awareness. … If knowledge is power, wisdom is your choice to use or apply that power. Understanding is the ability to understand one’s knowledge and choices.

Wisdom is the quality of having good judgment based on knowledge. It is popularly known as the ability to discern. If knowledge is power, wisdom is your choice to use or apply that power. Understanding is the ability to understand one’s knowledge and choices. It is the realization of your decision.

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

Webster’s dictionary defines knowledge as “the fact or condition of being aware of something.” It also defines wisdom as “ability to discern inner qualities and relationships.” In Scripture we are told that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

Knowledge is the collective information and facts acquired through education or experience. Knowledge is awareness. … If knowledge is power, wisdom is your choice to use or apply that power. Understanding is the ability to understand one’s knowledge and choices.

As we mature as Christians, we are not to be controlled exclusively by our physical senses. Being controlled by the physical senses is what the Bible refers to as being “carnally minded.”

Are you one that likes to play it safe as many people do? God gives us the ability to make choices. We can walk with Him in His realm today or we can continue as we want. I pray that no one waits until there is no return. God will not force anyone to accept His invitation. 

 2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 

The most important questions we need to ask ourselves, do we have more faith in our own ability or in God’s ability to handle our problems? Do we focus on the problem instead of trusting God for a solution? I can tell you from my own experiences that problems will consume our attention and it will defeat you. 

If the devil can get you to focus on yourself and your problems instead of focusing on Jesus Christ, the devil is involved and controlling your life regardless of how big or little it is. You make the choice. 

1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV: But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. There is no need for anyone ever again to be destroyed for “lack of knowledge.”

Although Jesus came to earth over 2000 years ago, God did not leave us with out a book of instructions, it is called the Holy Bible. It outlines the path of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to know the truth. Again, it is our choice to read and study this Book or just let be an occasional reading and gathering dust.

A few weeks past we celebrated Christmas where God illustrated His love for us in the fullest degree by sending His Son down to earth. In a few more weeks we will celebrate Easter where Jesus died for our sins, shed His blood to cover our sins on the Cross of Calvary, was buried, and rose from the dead, and now sits at the right of God the Father waiting to return and gather up His Bride and set up His Kingdom. The Book of Knowledge also called the Holy Bible offers us an invitation to come to faith in Jesus Christ and become joint heirs of all that Jesus has.

When you comprehend the knowledge that is in the Holy Bible and gain an understanding, you will have gained wisdom. It is then that you will come to know that God is not the cause of your problems, it is what you have let the devil take control of your life. Then you will understand the love that God has for you by giving His Son as a sacrifice for your sins. God has given you an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a life with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. God loves you and so do I.
