my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
- Faith comes from hearing the message that is through preaching, teaching or reading the Bible by yourself. (Rom 10:17)
- You will be destroyed through a lack of knowledge. God will reject and ignore you and your children. (Hos 4:6)
- Is not reading the Bible a sin? Not reading your Bible is a sin and causes sin. (Jms 4:17)
- Everything not done in faith is a sin. (Rom 14:23)
- If I do not have faith you cannot please God. (Heb 11:6)
- By implication if you do not know God’s word you will not know His laws to obey and God calls you a fool. (Pr 1:7)
- If you do not know you cannot practise your faith.
- If you do not practise your faith you are disobedient.
- If you do not obey you do not love God. (Jn 14:15, 21 & 23)
- If you just hear God’s words but do not put them into practise you deceive yourself. (Jms 1:22)
- Faith without deeds is dead!!! (Jms 1:17)
Prayer:
- Morning Lord.
- I pray that I will be a wise man in Your eyes and not a fool.
- God I know that I will destroy myself and my kids lives if I do not fear You and keep your commands.
- I pray that my faith put into action will please You and be acceptable to you.
- It is scary to think God if I merely listen to the word, I deceive myself and my faith is dead.
- Father I pray for the strength and wisdom to obey Your word which in Your word is love for you!!!
- Amen
