“Therefore my people are gone
into captivity, because they have no knowledge…” Isaiah 5:13
The bible says in the book of
Proverbs 3:20, “By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down
the dew.” Explaining this in simpler terms, the bible is saying; when
you have knowledge your heavens will be open, therefore to those who refuse
knowledge, your heavens will remain permanently closed.
Our deliverance lies in what we
know. The answers we are expecting from God for life’s challenges and
situations, lies within knowledge. The problem is many people have not searched
for knowledge by studying to show themselves approved and this is because the
“god of this world” the devil has blinded their minds.
The bible takes it further in
Proverbs 11:9, when it says “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his
neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”If you
want to experience deliverance, then you must free yourself from the captivity
of the mind by finding knowledge.
Proverbs 24:4-5 also says “And
by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant
riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.”Why
are you weak? Why are you being subjected to avoidable hardship? For the lack
of knowledge, people who ought to never take a pill are sick. For deficiency of
knowledge, many Christians are living in abject poverty and under the heavy
burden of debt.
I have come with a word from God
for you reading this devotional today; you can do exploits, you can walk out of
poverty and into victory. You can move from breakdown to breakthrough. You can
be and achieve all you want to become if only you break the walls and chains
that haveheld your mind captive. Daniel
11:32 “…the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”

PRAYER/CONFESSION:
In the name
of Jesus, I command the devil to take his hands off my life. I set my self and
family free from the power of ignorance and I receive the grace and strength to
seek knowledge.
WORDS OF
WISDOM: The fruit of
ignorance is captivity but that of knowledge is liberty.
