Basic Scripture: Hosea 4:1-11
I would like to use the illustrations below to let you understand why the Bible in today’s devotional scripture says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….” (Vs 6): A short illustration in a classroom set up: Teacher: Good morning students. Our lesson today is to find an answer to the question, “Where is God?”
Student Peter: God is everywhere, because wherever I go, I hear people talking about God. Student Nancy: God is in heaven because, in the morning, we say, “Our Father, who art in heaven.” Student Anthony: God is in the bathroom because whenever I’m bathing in the morning, my father will knock on the door and say, “O God! You are still in the bathroom?”
The above appears funny, but it shows that knowledge is important in whatever you are doing or will ever do in life, family and ministry this year! You may twist, gyrate, jump, shout or cry, but till you know the telephone numbers of heaven (The word, the Name and the Blood of Jesus), heaven or hell does not repeat your prayers! In this New Year 2018, my desire is that: You will eat of the tree of knowledge over and over again because you have already eaten of the tree of life – JESUS CHRIST! Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we connect to heaven. What you don’t know is your biggest demon! No wonder knowledge is power! See John 5:39 “search the Scriptures…” You search because to know is to know that you know nothing! That is the meaning of true knowledge!
Then the great Plato noted: “Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.” Indeed, there are still Mountains of Knowledge you must climb in your career and calling if you must see REGULAR DECORATION this year! Determine to know more through books and various reading sources this year! BURY LAZINESS and PROCASTINATION! The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. No wonder Augustus Hare quipped: Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.” Oh, bury ignorance from your life and ministry forever: Go to the “internet university” read books or buy CDs. Do something, but you must know more than you did last year.
The DECORATION ANNOINTING will increase upon you this year and it is increased by studying. Begin today!

2. By the grace of God, I shall know more this year than I did last year in the following areas of my life/ministry (Mention them now). You “DEMON” of ignorance loose me and go! I shall take necessary action steps to know more! So help me God.
