Why Knowledge

Apostle Grace Lubega

Hosea 4:6(KJV); 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.

God rejects men who reject knowledge.

He cannot reject you because you are a thief, a drunkard or for your weakness in the flesh. But He rejects men who reject knowledge!

More than that, the Bible reveals that He even forgets the children of those who reject knowledge.

No generation steeped in ignorance can ever be preserved by God.

Imagine that!

Why do you think there are no writings between Malachi and Matthew for a period of about four hundred years?

He tells them in Malachi 2:7-8; “For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi…”

This was a generation that despised knowledge so much that the Lord wiped them off the books of history.

That is a divine tragedy, child of God.

The reason why God rejects men who reject knowledge is that to reject knowledge is to reject Him. An ignorant generation is a Godless generation.

This is why you must study the Word, to give yourself to understanding the realm of God, to invest in eternity, to preach the gospel in and out of season, to pass on these things to your children.

Knowledge is our heritage and God calls upon us to preserve it.

Hallelujah!

PRAYER: My loving God, I thank you for this Word. Thank you because we are in a dispensation of the increase of knowledge. I thank you for the hunger in my spirit that responds to the knowledge that you have availed. Every day, I increase in the understanding of who you are and of the life to which you have called me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
