Topic: IGNORANT DESTROYS
Bible Reading: Ephesian 1:17-19, 4:17-18, 2 Corinthians 4:4
To explain the study of today, the Holy Spirit gave me two scenarios. First, imagine a blind man in a large hall, with only one entrance leading to it, but the hall is flooded with light, and is full of all kinds of good things of life. What benefit will it be to him, being present in that hall, but with no eyes to behold the good things that are there.
Secondly, imagine another man with his two eyes wide open in the same large hall, which has an entrance, the hall fully loaded with all kinds of good things, but this time the light in it is switched off. What benefit will being in that hall be to this second man with his eyes open, but no light enlighten it.
I believe you agreed with me that the two men will suffer the same fate in that place, though, one is blind, while the second man is not blind. For the blind man the light is useless without eyes to see what the light is lightened on, and for the second man, eyes is useless when there is no light to enlighten it.
The first blind man represent an unbeliever, who has not given his or her life to Jesus Christ, for the scripture says,
2 Corinthians 4:4 "In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
So, anyone that has not believe in the gospel is blind, though, he/she might be going to Church regularly, carrying bible around, praying on mountains and valleys, until the eyes of the spirit is open, the things of the kingdom and kingdom practices will never be a benefit to him/her.
The second man with eyes open but no light to enlighten it is a believer that is ignorant of the knowledge of the truth of God, and this is not head knowledge, but the revelation of the truth. The scripture says,
Ephesians 4:18 "Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:"
The problem of a man who is born again but lack the correct and accurate knowledge of God's word, is as the same with the one who is not born again, the two of them are alienated, estranged, isolated, separated from the life that is flowing from God, blessings from God, healing from God, breakthrough from God, victory from God, the list is endless.
The only difference between the two group is that, an unbeliever is cut off from the life of God because he is not born of God. A believer that is a born again child of God but is ignorant of the kingdom knowledge, has cut himself or herself from that life of God, because he/she did not seek knowledge of it.
Whichever category you fall into, do something about it today, to bring yourself to the knowledge of God, so as to be connected to the life and good things that are flowing from God. I pray that you will hate ignorance of God's knowledge and be connected to wisdom of God in Jesus name.
Prayer Points: Pray that God will do whatever he has to do help you break the yoke of ignorance in your life, and pray for the baptism of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in your life in Jesus name.
