MESSAGE:
Eric Hoffer said, “In a time of drastic change, it is learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”
Have you ever imagined the power at your disposal when you have knowledge? Knowledge is powerful when acquired and used in the right way. It takes away the disease of ignorance and opens the door to great opportunities. Men of knowledge are men of power and influence.
The more you learn, the more you know; and the more you know, the more your chances of success in life. Even the scriptures reveal that knowledge of the truth, makes us free. Freedom from sin, failure, ignorance and disease is embedded in the knowledge of the word of God.
If there is any desire or craving in your heart today, it should be the desire to know more, which comes with learning.
Take a deliberate action to learn about God to discover His redemptive plan through Christ. Knowledge about God’s redemptive plan should provoke repentance and righteousness to be profitable, and not mere head knowledge.
QUOTE: Knowledge is sweet when acquired.
CHALLENGE: Men of knowledge are men of power.
PRAYER: Lord, create in me the passion to learn and know more.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
