LIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE (5)

Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the KEY of KNOWLEDGE. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered – Luke 11:52 The LIGHT of KNOWLEDGE is an indispensable Key of Life: "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the KEY of KNOWLEDGE. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered" (Lk.11:52). It takes the Light of Knowledge to discover and enter into our prepared places in destiny. When Knowledge is lacking, access is denied. Knowledge is the sum of what we have perceived, discovered, become aware of or learned. In general, Knowledge comes through Learning. We acquire knowledge in the process of learning. However, knowledge is more than the art of gathering information. Knowledge is Power. Knowledge empowers. Knowledge of the truth makes free (Jh.8:32) Knowledge is the Key to Strength, Power and Exploits: “…but the people who KNOW their God shall be STRONG, and carry out GREAT EXPLOITS (Dan.11:32b). Knowledge is the Key to Freedom and Liberty: “And you shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (Jh.8:32). It is not just the Truth, but the KNOWLEDGE of the Truth that makes us free. Knowledge is the Key to Establishment and Stability: “WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of the LORD is His treasure” (Isa. 33:6). When knowledge is lacking, destruction is inevitable: “My people are destroyed for LACK of KNOWLEDGE. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me...” (Hos.4:6). Proverbs 19:2 says, “Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good…” The Will of God is: “That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and INCREASING in the KNOWLEDGE of God” (Col.1:10). God's Knowledge is the gateway into “all things that pertain to life and godliness” (2Pet.1:3). May we “grow in Grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2Pet.3:18)!
