Hosea 4:6 (KJV)

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

One of the saddest laments in the Bible was uttered by God Himself when He said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Notice, it does not say people in general, but My people, specifically. He’s talking about His own Blood-bought, Spirit-filled Christians – heirs of all He has and joint-heirs with Christ - perishing because of what they don't know. The worst part, however, is the reason given: because they reject knowledge.

The Bible contains the Word of God, thereby making it the most knowledgeable book available on Earth. It contains the Wisdom of God that, when applied, saves you from destruction.

You can't afford not to be in the Word. The Word ought to be studied; it ought to be read in your home. Read it to your little ones, and encourage those who are mature enough to read it for themselves. God wants you to collect riches like dust, but that can't happen as long as your Bible collects dust. The Word is your surety. Read it, live long, and prosper!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a diligent student of the Word, rejecting ignorance and embracing the knowledge that leads to life. As I engage with the Word, I am assured of prosperity, health, and longevity. I declare that the Word is my surety, and I live long and prosper! Amen.
