Hosea 4:6
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.

When one does not carry a habit of seeking for knowledge that person is destroyed. We have been concerned about demons and Lucifer , these two were conquered in Calvary. What destroys men is not a demon, a demon can come and inflict pain on you, but what brings destruction is when you are a person who does not acquire knowledge. The word "lack", is a condition where one does not have enough of necessary things. When one is lacking it is either that there is zero knowledge or they have it, but it is not enough. To lack knowledge leads to destruction. When God speaks about knowledge, He is speaking about Himself. When you are lacking knowledge, you do not know God. The only way of knowing God is through the habit of familiarizing yourself with the Word of God. Knowledge is the practical or theoretical understanding of a subject. When you have the habit of acquiring knowledge , you will begin with the theory then the practical part will follow. Some people have a theory with God put no practical experience of God. Some are carrying theory but the practical is lacking. You need to push both equally. The source of knowledge, the teacher of knowledge, the truth is the Holy Spirit. The source and teacher of knowledge is the Holy Spirit. What allows some conditions(sickness, poverty) to remain the same is that the Word is being ministered from the flesh not the Spirit.
John 14:26
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Most of us have been exposed to the Word of God in the absence of the Holy Spirit. Whenever you are acquiring knowledge the Holy Spirit must be present. True worship is done in Spirit and the Truth.
The biggest and strongest demon is not Lucifer, it is not knowing God through the Word of God. Lucifer takes advantage of the absence of the Holy Spirit. What destroys you, is when you do not know God through His Word. In the absence of Knowledge, the anointing water and oil are useless. In the absence of knowledge in your spirit, a prayer from a Prophet is nothing. If you begin to see destruction in your life, begin to check the source of your knowledge. Go and develop a very powerful habit of acquiring Knowledge, there are two things that have to be present: the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. When you have knowledge inside you, the Holy Spirit will begin to guide every step that you take. The most dangerous person is someone without knowledge . Knowledge is power and that is our God. Anyone with knowledge is bound to be great. If there is no Word of God in a man's heart, whatever he is carrying will lead to a destruction. The real you is your spirit, once your heart is not empty, whatever that is in your heart will lead to destruction.
Never find yourself in a situation where you have no Word of God but you are busy confessing your desires. If you see ideas not coming to your mind, your spirit is empty. Knowledge will fill your mind with ideas. A man of God becomes a mentor to others because of knowledge. All of us are qualified to speak from a spirit full of knowledge but what hinders us is that we lack knowledge. If you have knowledge, the Holy Spirit places your ideas in an orderly manner and you can be easily listened to or understood by anyone.
James 2:14
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

If you have knowledge and it is not complemented by actions, the faith you have will not change a thing. The habit of acquiring knowledge must always be complemented by actions.
Daniel 1: 4-5
4 young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans. 5 And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of that time they might serve before the king.

Anyone who possesses knowledge has the ability to teach others because he has a teachable spirit. Anyone who possesses
becomes a valuable asset in the kingdom of God. The Lord wants to create generational thinkers. If you have knowledge, you receive a teachable spirit. God can never deposit something in you that is bigger than you. When you have knowledge, big and great ideas are deposited by God. Write them down , meditate upon them and begin to move that direction. A testimony only comes when you receive that idea, that dream from God. You cannot think of anything that you are not. If you receive ideas from God and you think they are bigger than you, you are wasting your time, you will remain the same.
You are a chosen generation, a peculiar nation, understand who you are and acquire knowledge. Never allow your situation to tell you who you are. Begin to align yourself with your dreams, it shall come to pass.
Amen!
