The cost of ignorance

In most cases, people are ignorant because they lack knowledge, understanding, or facts about something. Others have preferred ignorance over knowledge, which leads to a life of distraction.

 Ignorance has the potential to cost us far more than we realize. Many people have lost their lives, their assets, their families, and much more as a result of ignorance. God frequently communicates with us through visions, dreams, and riddles (Numbers 12:7-8), yet we still tend to depend on our own understanding.

Some people will deliberately shut your mouth before you even begin to tell them about the  dream you had them. As a result of our ignorance, we literally disregard God’s warnings. In Genesis 37:5, we read about Joseph being abandoned by his brothers because he was a dreamer. However, he was confident that his dream would come true one day. 

We also discover in Matthew 1:20–21 that Joseph, Jesus’ father, was visited by an angel of God in a dream, and the angel of God explains to him that he should not be afraid to take Mary as his wife. Because that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And this shows that Joseph was indecisive until God sent him an angel. Joseph didn’t ignore the dream or the message he received from an angel; he received it and did as the angel had told him to do.

There are many places where this spirit will want to fit in. It wants to fit into people’s relationships, marriages, education, families, lives, etc. However, we shouldn’t give it a chance because we might lose people we love and cherish and also our lives as a result.

To grow in our knowledge of God and avoid spiritual ignorance, we must be aware of his plans. Every day we must guard our hearts; we must walk in faith, not emotions.

May God open our eyes and activate our spiritual senses so that we don’t fall into the hands of ignorance. We don’t want to lose what we worked hard for because of our ignorance.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us  

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
