How much do you know

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: …” Hosea 4:6(KJV)

The word destroyed in our opening scripture is from the Hebrew word 'damah,' it means to perish, to destroy, to fail, to be brought to nothing, to be made dumb, to be brought to silence, etc. Therefore with the understanding of the word destroy, it means that God is saying here that my people fail because of a lack of knowledge, they are brought to nothing because of a lack of knowledge.

I want you to know that you are not where you are today because of the village you came from. Neither are you where you are today because of the family you came from, but you are actually where you are today because of your knowledge. It  is your knowledge that has brought you to where you are and if you are going to move from where you are to a better and higher place, you would have to get a superior knowledge than what you have right now.

God is saying in our opening scripture that my people are failing because they are unaware. This means that your knowledge is what determines the quality of your life, it determines if you will succeed or fail. Always remember that your knowledge can be your lid in life or your knowledge can give you an edge or an advantage in life. Therefore I encourage you to get the right knowledge that can help you to make the quality of progress you desire.
