The quality of your life depends on your knowledge of God's word
Knowledge is light
Ignorance is darkness
The less you know, the more unenlightened you are
The more you know, the more enlightened you are
You can be a born again Christian and your life will be from calamity to

calamity
You will go for deliverance
Go for vigils and fasts
Visit "Apostles" and "Prophets" who will fleece you endlessly and turn you to a cow they will milk continuously to get rich and grow in fame
And yet you will remain on one spot or you can be a born again Christian and

grow in knowledge daily
Many believers think prayer is everything
So they spend hours and days praying for their situation to change
They are very wrong
You will pray amiss when you lack knowledge
You will fast amiss when you lack knowledge
The prophets of baal prayed and so did

many adherents of other religions all over the world
It is in knowing Christ that the believer's life is transformed
You cannot know Christ without an accurate knowledge of the word of God
I once had a discussion with a man who said there is no difference between the old and the

new testament
He is a "Bishop" and yet the fundamentals of the gospel is unknown to him
He would write out the instructions in Leviticus and insist people must follow them in order to make heaven
He was wrong
When I heard after some years that he went mad somewhere in the east

I was not surprised
If you decide to follow the book of Leviticus into the fullness of God, your search will lead you to some scripts and texts which will inevitably mess with your mind
The old testament was not powerful enough to bring salvation to the world
This is why Jesus

came with grace and truth
The knowledge of the purpose of Christ and His finished work will set you free from sin consciousness and guilt
The knowledge of the Holy Spirit will help you live a life of glory and wonder
The knowledge of the dimensions of the power of the Holy Spirit

will empower you to live the supernatural man and make you a blessing to your world
Knowledge changes your life from glory to glory
Knowledge leads you to pray right
You stop foolish arguments when you have knowledge
Imagine someone arguing against praying in tongues and yet

running from pillar to post over evil dreams and nightmares
What is it that the Holy Spirit does in you when you pray in Him?
Does it have an effect on your personal body
Do you feel the wonders within your members as His power courses through your body in the place of prayer?

knowledge gives you direction
Knowledge is the key to discernment
Knowledge leads you to love and understanding
Study his word, the scriptures were given to make you wise unto salvation
How can people who memorize a few scriptures out of context pray right?
For example, the

popular prayer point "None shall lack a mate"
It is not a prayer point in the Bible, it is a commandment that was in the book of the Lord. Isaiah was told to seek out that book and read out the content: None of these shall fail, none shall want her mate; for my mouth it hath

commanded and his spirit it hath gathered them!"
Does that look like a prayer point?
It is not
It is an instruction to the Jewish nation through the prophet
In Israel, the society was so organized to ensure that a woman does not lack a mate as long as she desires to be married

She has a husband chosen for her by her parents as a teenager and once she is married, it is a guarantee that she will always be protected by the family of her husband. Even if her husband died, she remains in that family unless she chose not to be"
That is what that commandment

was speaking to in context
I have seen many single ladies quoting that scripture but they do not understand the context
No scripture like that was given in the new testament because that testament was not written for an earthly kingdom
It was written for a spiritual nation, a

nation lacking nothing.
Another scripture taken out of context is "All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"
those who quote it deliberately leave out the other half of that scripture which spoke about the gift of God being Jesus
Or the WOrk out your salvation

with fear and trembling thingy, which usually gets quoted to mean "Be sin conscious" (I wonder how they twisted that up!"
Salvation is the gift Jesus gave to us, we have to explore it in order to benefit from it to the maximum.
Many killing enemies and shouting "Die, Die" lack

knowledge
All they have to do is study the Bible and read the prayers of Jesus and the Apostles, then tailor their own prayers in that light
I cannot pray a prayer Jesus didn't pray
I cannot pray a prayer the Apostles didn't pray
And for those saying "We are in Africa, there are

enemies here and the work of darkness..."
They need to read Isaiah 60:1, the whole world was covered by darkness and gross darkness! Darkness was never an African thing. It was a world problem until Jesus came
If Christ dwells in you, you should no longer be plagued with darkness

If you're still collecting soap, candles, perfumes, and other demonic totems and you claim you are a Christian, you're suffering from a lack of knowledge
It is the truth you know that will set you free
