Knowledge is strength.

You will become a captive instead of a conqueror when you lack the appropriate knowledge for the battle that you are confronted with.

Isaiah 5:13
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

FAITH INVOKES OBEDIENCE

Faith invokes obedience,  Obeying  God's word builds faith.

Hebrews 11:8
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

DESIRE GOD'S WORD, GO FOR IT!

How greatly is the WORD desired among us?

Acts 13:42
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

If you earnestly desire the word of God, you will persistently seek for it.

You don't get enough of God's Word not even for a day. That's why God never get tired of teaching us, feeding us with his words.

UNDERSTANDING IS VITAL PT2

Luke 24:45
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

How can you receive whom you do not know? Do you think an unbeliever knows the Holy Spirit? How can you know whom you do not understand?

1 John 5:20
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Before they could receive Jesus, they must have heard about him, they understood Him by the words of the gospel, they now believed in Him.
Read Romans 10:14-17, John 1:12, John 3:16
John 4:4-42


Now that we have the Spirit of God in us, we walk in the spirit and in the light.. Therefore, we are to commit Him to teach us and make us understand the word.. If we cannot understand,  we cannot know, if we cannot know, we cannot believe. For without faith it is impossible to please God.  Romans 10:17
Hebrews 11:6

Even by Faith, we understand.

Hebrews 11:3 NIV
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.


Now faith comes by the word of God. Its not just by hearing,  but by understanding the word, without understanding the word is unprofitable to build faith and without faith nothing works..

You need to understand the word!

Matthew 13:18-23
“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: [19] When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. [20] The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. [21] But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. [22] The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. [23] But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Understanding is Vital to the unbelievers to know, and believe,  even to us all who already have the Spirit of God in us.

Daily, we pray for understanding of God's word through concrete  attention to the word, through preparation of our hearts and revelation by the Spirit in us.

UNDERSTANDING IS VITAL

To those who refuse to acknowledge the vitality of Understanding Scriptures.

Understanding is the key factor to knowledge and faith in God. Despite the fact that you are hearing the word of God on daily basis, you need to understand,  believe and obey it for profitable living.

Understanding the word gives you a clear picture of what it is, what to do, and endowed you with the knowledge requires to improve faith. We are ought to search the scriptures not just for clarification purpose but also for assimilation and interpretation.


Luke 24:45
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

Jesus in Luke 24:45, knew without understanding, the Word is nothing to His disciples. Therefore, He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. Alot of people today have veiled mind to understand the Word.
Their mind is blocked to understanding, and without understanding, knowledge cannot evolves. There is knowledge in the place of Understanding. Alot of people are suffering from lack of Understanding and from lack of knowledge, not lack of the Word. They don't have understanding of God's word despite all their search. 

YOU CANNOT KNOW JESUS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE WORD.

1 John 5:20
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Understanding the word of God put your faith in a better position to act upon the word.

Until you understand, you cannot know, and until you know,  faith cannot grow; for faith comes by knowing (Hear, read and Understand) the word of God. Romans 10:17

Romans 10:14
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

If you want to know Christ, you need a revelation of His word, you need  your mind enlightened, you need your eyes of faith opened to understand and believe..

Philippians 3:9-10
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ---the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. [10] I want to know Christ---yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
