IGNORANCE

Text : Rom 1:28.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

There's an important legal principle that says “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” 
The same law is so true in spiritual matters too. Your ignorance will not excuse you from its resultant consequences.

 Spiritual ignorance only makes you a soft prey to the enemy, SEEK KNOWLEDGE.

 Ignorance's price is too high,you can't afford it.GET UNDERSTANDING.

To be ignorant is to be unknowledgeable or uneducated about something or someone. That is, spiritual ignorance is someone who is uneducated or unknowledgeable about spiritual things. 

Now there are two categories of spiritually ignorant people. First are those who are truly ignorant because they have no access to spiritual education. These people are described in Romans 10:14 _How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?_  Obviously, the reason these people are still in their ignorance is probably because no one has brought God's message (education, light) to them.

 If indeed the light of the gospel of Christ have beamed upon your heart, responsibility is laid on you to tell others about the light.
No one has the right to hear twice what others have not heard once.

The second category of people are those who wiling chose to be ignorant. It will amaze you to know that majority are in this box. 2Pe 3:5 says For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: That is, man  can choose to willing ignore God. Romans 1:28 says because men refused to retain the knowledge of God in their hearts,... God gave them over to degraded minds to do things which are not convenient. 

God has given man the power of choice. If God is your choice, and you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah  29:13.

The only antidote to ignorance is knowledge. Knowledge is not a gift,  it is to be sought. SEEK KNOWLEDGE.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. Proverbs  18:15. Ignorance is costly on all fronts, therefore, in all your getting,  get understanding. Proverbs 4:7.

Bible Reading : 2 Peter 3:1-18.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
