KNOWLEDGE IS GOOD
Jeremiah 29

What you do not know will not work for you. Also, whatever it is that fail to work for you can work against you. How can a man with a loaded gun in his pocket run away from a man with an ordinary table-knife? Often time acclaimed believers operate as the one who lacks knowledge. Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” Clearly, the people of God are the ones being referred to as those that are destroyed or the perishable bunch, because they lack of knowledge. Do you lack knowledge? Knowledge is not scarce but, man has made himself scarce from finding knowledge. Knowledge is available for anyone who cares to find it. Essentially, the lack of knowledge is evidence of the absence of the fear of God. Proverbs 2:5, “Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.” Seek the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of God and the fear of the Lord will not elude you. Based upon all the evil and wickedness that takes place in our world today, we can clearly see that people no longer have the fear of God dwelling on the inside of them. It is a testimony to the fact that knowledge is not common and it is hardly implemented in every area of life where the fear of God is missing. Do you handle the pressing challenges of your life with knowledge? God testified that He knows His goodness towards us when He spoke, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) The Apostle Paul, because of his understanding of what God said in Jeremiah 29:11, he took his stand and claimed it in Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Regardless of how difficult and challenging the situation is, what you know about God’s promise in Jeremiah 29:11 and other verses in the Bible will always give you the assurance that things will change and turn around for our good. What do you not know about the goodness of God? Believe that all things will work together for our good and hold on to God’s Word and always remember to give thanks to God in everything. (Ephesians 5:20) Exercising your knowledge of what God can do in your life will cause the favor of God to come into your life and to move on your behalf.

Prayer for today: Lord as You have promised that you will put your fear in the hearts of Your children so that they will not depart from You( Jeremiah 32:40) I ask O Lord let Your fear overtake my life that I may find Your knowledge.
