SCRIPTURE:

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law (Word), where I reveal My will]. (Hosea 4:6a AMP)

DEVOTIONAL:

In Hosea 4:6, God says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” He didn’t say, “My people are destroyed for lack of money” or “education,” but they’re destroyed “for lack of [revelation] knowledge.”

Real wealth doesn’t come by education; it comes by revelation. Thank God for education, but if that’s all we have—we’re in trouble. An economic earthquake is coming, and education won’t save us. If we want to make it through, we’ll need revelation of how to stand on the Rock and how to receive our provision directly from Almighty God.

This is why the Kingdom of God must be preached. The Kingdom of God is God’s way of doing things, and it comes with provision. Through His kingdom, God has given us everything we will ever need, independent of what happens in this world.

PRAYER:

Dear God, thank you that I can have peace knowing that in Your kingdom, there is provision for the situation I’m going through right now. I receive the revelation knowledge I need by Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
