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 ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
