Open Your Mind To Knowledge
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your
faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge
(2 Peter 1:5)
Knowledge in our opening verse is the Greek
word, “gnosis,” which is scientific knowledge;
knowledge based on science or intellectual activity.
God wants you to have, not only revelation knowledge,
but also knowledge about life and natural things of arts
and science. He wants you to be versatile and open to
knowledge. He wants you to be well informed.
This doesn’t mean having a penchant for worldly
information; rather, it means improving yourself,
acquiring the right information that’ll build your
personality. Most importantly, He wants you to build
your knowledge of His Word. Anyone who ignores
knowledge is setting up himself for the hard life.
Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6). The knowledge of God’s
Word is what puts you over in life. Invest in it.
Be sure to have a good study Bible, and other faithbuilding
teachings in books and digital formats. Avail
yourself the opportunity to learn something definite
every day—something that’ll challenge, inspire, and
cause you to be the best of you. Even now, in studying
this devotional, knowledge is coming to you; open
your mind to receive the teachings and instructions
coming from the Spirit.
Opening your mind to knowledge isn’t just about
reading up every available topic in an unguarded
manner; no! In reality, the Bible tells us that Jesus
Christ is the embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge
(Colossians 2:3). If you open your heart to Him (the
Word) in meditation, you’d be amazed how much
knowledge would come to you. Also, having received
the Holy Spirit, there’s a wealth of knowledge and
wisdom in the recesses of your spirit, and all you
have to do is activate them through meditation.
Hallelujah!
Confession
Christ is the embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge, and He
lives in me. Therefore, there’s no limit to my knowledge. Through
meditation, I dig deep into the recesses of my spirit, activating
the wisdom and knowledge in me, for witty inventions,in Jesus’Name. Amen.
