SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE: LEADS ONE TO ERRORS, TO BECOME MISTAKEN AND TO BE ELUDED FROM THE POWER OF GOD!
“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (GATHERING) of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD)” Proverbs 21:16.
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but THE WAY of TRANSGRESSORS (DISOBEDIENT) is HARD (DIFFICULT, FRUSTRATING, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15
Avoid ignorance by every means. It’s sides effects and consequences it’s unimaginable. Ensure in every subject you endeavour to know and understand the context and possibly contents in order to avoid – erroneous position, become mistaken and misconstrued, and eluded from the power of God – meaning, the enabling of God’s grace for such context to be made revealing and manifesting for your good and BLESSEDNESS.
Ignorance hurts and hunts. It makes one stupid and foolish. It frustrates one’s efforts. It keeps one away from the good of God – for God winks at ignorance. Ignorance subjugates. It enslaves. It captivates. It’s destructive. The sides effects it’s innumerable and unimaginable and never a wish for any – therefore don’t even imagine it or allow it plays around you and within your domain at any given moment. PURSUE to ENSURE knowledge and understanding always in order to to stay safe.
IT PAYS TO PATIENTLY STRIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAN TO STAY IN IGNORANCE WITH ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STUPIDITY AND FOOLISHNESS THAT IT BRINGS.
“A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH STRENGTH” Proverbs 24:5.
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE (UNEASE) place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts. For by IGNORANCE many talents, vision and dreams that would have enhance life and godly living in uplifting and placing people and person’s in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, has landed and ended such in the GRAVEYARDS – unfulfilled, unsung, unwritten, unaccomplished and such like.
Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK (REFLECT)!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.
“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.
“And the times of this IGNORANCE God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS (DIFFICULT, TASKMASTER, BURDENSOME, IRKSOME)” 1 John 5:3 Emphasis Mine.
“And now, BRETHREN, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.
“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast FORGOTTEN the law of thy God, I will also FORGET thy children” Hosea 4:6.
“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore HELL hath ENLARGED herself, and OPENED her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be EXALTED in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.
