Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate (Proverbs 24:7).
The knowledge of the Word of God is vital to living a successful and victorious life. Unfortunately, some people inadvertently ignore knowledge and they are the ones who are called "fools." If you were to ask certain folks why things aren't working out in their lives, they'd have all sorts of reasons; "Oh, it's the economy." Other might say 'I'm from a disadvantaged home" and so on. If you were to ask them, "When last did you study your Bible, or listen to a message?" you're to find out that such folks aren't consistent in taking in God's Word.
Though they might not know it, they have been ignoring knowledge. Any person who ignores knowledge is setting up himself for the hard life and that's why the Lord said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ..." (Hosea 4:6). The reason for the hard life many are facing isn't the lack of prayer or power, but the lack of knowledge of God's word, which is revelation knowledge. In your life, don't ignore knowledge. If you are that way, God will not give you more of it. Jesus said, "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine" (Matthew 7:6); in other words, He will not give precious revelations to the man who despises knowledge.
Go for the knowledge of God's Word with all your heart. If you find out that you spend your time on worldly films, newspapers and magazines at the expense of God's Word, then you are ignoring knowledge. The cost of getting a message on tape or
DVD that'll change your life is little compared to the everlasting impact it will make in your life. invest that little money in your hand in obtaining materials that have the potential to transform your life forevermore. Always remember that the knowledge of God's Word is the key.
