Mark 9:23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
QUICK NOTES. Hosea 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me, seeing you have forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget your children.
The key to freedom is knowledge, and the key to knowledge is truth, and the key to truth is the word of God. (John 17v17). Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth.
The greatest enemy of man is not sin or satan. The greatest enemy of man is ignorance. Ignorance has caused people more destruction than anything else. We eat badly and get sick but blame the devil for our sickness. You sleep with strangers because you are not aware of the consequences. Hosea 4:6
Ignorance leads God to reject both parents and their children because if you don’t know anything and you teach your children what you know, then your children will be as smart as you. –
Calamity.
All you will ever know is what you have learnt. You have to be intentional in seeking knowledge. You may have large libraries that never impact your life because the books you have not read cannot impact your life.
Buying information doesn’t give you revelation.
Ignorance of the truth is a personal decision because, according to Hosea 4:6, knowledge is available because you can’t reject what is not available.
You choose to believe what you want or what is convenient for you, but it may not be beneficial.
Ignorance is so powerful that it makes you believe you are on top. Many are poor today not because heavenly resources are not available, but ignorant of God’s provision keeps them poor.
What you believe becomes your reality.
Your life is a reflection and product of your deep conviction, and results manifest according to your faith(actions), not just your intellectual knowledge of the scriptures. Col.3:16.
Evidence of knowledge of the Bible is in the ability to do the word. Working the word is proof of your deep knowledge of God and love for Him by your obedience John 14:15.
If you are not making progress as desired, check what you believe and practice. Partnership, honor, and spiritual alignmentQUESTIONS:
- Does Malachi 3:10 say that a Christian will be cursed if they don’t tithe, and if so, how does that fit with Gal.3:13? Add v. 14.
Tithing is not a law because it existed before the law. Gen. 14:20,28:22. Tithe is a covenant arrangement with His people to identify with what they do.
It must be done in love and not in fear.- If all Believers are saved by grace through faith and enjoy spiritual blessings, why are conditions mentioned in our teaching today?
Grace places responsibility on you.
The proof you are under grace is to be responsible. 2 believers that get married……- As a believer, are we supposed to be living in the new creation reality or living with the hope of a new reality?
New creation reality is here on earth. We are not waiting till we get to heaven. Healing is here, prosperity is here, protection is here, etc.- When Malachi 3:10 was spoken, was Jesus ‘ work on the cross already accomplished? Jesus finished work on the cross is essentially to deliver us from the power of sin and darkness if we walk in the light. The New Testament giving is far more than tithe. It’s giving all you have Acts 4:34-37
- Who exactly was God speaking to in Mal.3:10, the Church or Israel under the Mosaic covenant? Please, what is the truth, ma? I need help. There was no church in the Old Testament, but the Old Testament gave birth to the New Testament. The bible is one divided into the Old and New Testaments, but the grace that saves you compels you to obey God in all 6. When Jesus said I did not come to abolish the law but to fulfil it (Matt.
5:17). Did He mean merely to keep the law or to keep everything it foreshadowed? James 2:10- Did Jesus fulfil all the law demanded? If yes, how, and if no, how? Yes, He did. There is no proof that He broke any law, and His death and resurrection fulfilled His mission on earth.
