There’s the need for knowledge and continuous knowledge in life. More importantly, there’s the need for the truth that emancipates, delivers and sets free with genuine freedom, which is as result of the knowledge in the WORD of God. Hence I do hereby offer you firstly, four things to know at least and remember in your keen for the knowledge, especially the knowledge in the WORD of God; for these will unveil the needed insights and foresights why crave for knowledge . . .
ALWAYS KNOW AND REMEMBER:
- That other Books may inform you, but the WORD of God – The Holy Bible – is the only authoritative, unadulterated and undiluted timeless book that is both informative and transformative for yesterday, today and tomorrow.
- That the Bible, the Holy WORD of God, is the only living written book, and the only book that the author is always present while you read it, giving you precise understanding of every facets written therein.
- That it is not enough to KNOW the WORD. In order to be able to rightly apply the WORD you must endeavour and strive to UNDERSTAND what you know of the WORD. This will enable you to THRIVE and ACHIEVE in life, and to live in TRIUMPH, in VICTORY, in SUCCESS, in DOMINION, in FULFILMENT and as A MORE THAN A CONQUERORS.
- That The Bible can only cease to be a MYSTERY book and becomes a MESSAGE: Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal, when one finds the key that unlocks the mystery through READING. For God is only a MYSTERY when His PERSON and WAYS are not known – Psalms 103:7.
- That The Bible, which is the WORD of God, is not a book that we conjure or conjure with, but it is a practical book of wisdom, life and grace which we practice in God’s BLERSSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.
A man’s ignorance is his own mountain and only by the knowledge and understanding of the truth will he be delivered and have true and genuine freedom. I do know and believe that the BIBLE – Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal – is the only place of true and genuine information and knowledge for complete information, deliverance, transformation and freedom. The Bible may be seen as mysterious, but is not a mystical book, but a practical book of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. It’s not a truth that you conjure, but the truth that you practice. The Holy Bible is life and a life-giving and transfiguring book.
Through reading the WORD you can appropriate personal knowledge and understanding of your redemption in Christ of all that God has done in you, for you and with you, and He’s doing and will do through you. Here are few reasons to crave and seek for knowledge of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus, in order to appropriate your redemption into reality:
