Message Title: The University of Ignorance

Ministering: Dr. D. K. Olukoya
First Reading
Hosea 4
There are Seven Major Universities.
1. University of Bondage. Many people are unconsciously in bondage.
2. University of Fear.
3. University of Confusion. Confusion of gender.
4. University of Sexual Perversion. Homosexuality, bestiality, sex, etc.
5. University of Greed. Lack of contemptment.
6. University of Pride.
7. University of Ignorance.
Jesus said: Know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
Hosea 4:6
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. (KJV)
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. (KJV)
A man had a dream, in the dream he was in a church and there was a funeral service. He joined in the singing with the congregation, and then suddenly he thought, who died? He looked at the pamphlet and realised that he was the one. Immediately, he started shouting that he is not dead.
A real child of God should rehearse his/her dream with God and claim the good and reject the bad.
Experimentation is ignorance. Your degree of ignorance will determine how much the enemy will defraud you.
Education cannot remove ignorance; however, knowledge will always triumph over ignorance.
Ignorance is not bliss, it is not peace; Ignorance is poverty, devastation, root and stem of evil.
Discussion is an exchange of knowledge while argument is exchange of ignorance.
Ignorance is like alcohol. Nothing limits intelligence as ignorance.
Ignorance is the parent of fear.
The most terrible triplets in the world: Ignorance, Power and Pride.
If the beard signifies intelligence, then the goat will be the most intelligent. Big mouth and small brains makes the greatest noise.
Our prayers must be tailored according to what we see. We need knowledge to be able to tailor our prayers.
Psalm 5:3
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up. (KJV)
Learn how to prayer: start in the morning, start from little timings like 10 minutes before graduating to 1 hour. Read the bible with absolute concentration and meditations.
When we study the bible: what do I learn, what sins should I confess based on this bible passage, what prayers can I derive from this bible study?
Powers assigned to use me as a sacrifice die, in Jesus name.
The mystery why people perform sacrifice is the because of the blood.
Memorising God's word is very important in getting closer to God. Continues review of bible verses inputs them permanently in the dream. We respond to demonic challenges in our dream/reality using the word of God.
Nothing is worse than practicing ignorance.
O God, arise and revive my soul, in the name Of Jesus!
My Father, My Father, My Father, give me personal Pentecost in the name of Jesus!

Daniel 3:14-18 demonstrates the power of primitive faith. Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego dared the king.
The men of old moved in a realm where we are struggling to understand.
Throwing in the fire became their breakthrough.
Four miracles occurred because of their primitive faith.
1. The people that threw them in the fire died.
2. They gained their freedom - the
3. They saw, prayed and danced with the King of kings.
4. They were promoted.

3. They saw, prayed and danced with the King of kings.
4. They were promoted.
Matthew 17:20
We need to change our attitude to prayers - no sit-down-look attitude.
Jesus aggressively confronted demons, yet we Christians are afraid of demons.
Jesus resisted temptation to the point of exhaustion, but we yield easily.
Jesus blasted money changers and threw their tables away, but we allow negative to thrive around us.
Jesus insisted that mountains must move; however, we believe in what will be, will be.
Those who are moving with God have grown beyond tithe, and God is blessing them.
People of primitive faith don't mind giving everything to God not just tithe or first fruits.
Jesus insisted that faith must be risky but we want to see before we believe.
Jesus never put up with unholy trespassers, but we rub shoulders with all sorts of people.
There is a kind of faith that refuses to back down; this kind of faith is allowed in the scripture.
There is nowhere in the scripture where we are told to be door mats and allow men to trample upon us.
There is nowhere in the scripture where we are told to tolerated powers of darkness.
When we get on our knees, we overcome.

A heavily pregnant woman was walking about to cross a railway line, she bumped into a Sango worshipper by mistake. This Sango worshipper was in company of his fellows. The woman apologised however, the Sango worshipper rejected the apology, insisted that she must beg. Vengefully, the Sango worshippers summoned fire from his mouth, Lagosians gathered around asking the woman to beg. She vehemently refused, instead told the Sango worshippers since you cannot accept my apology, I quench that fire in your mouth by the fire in the blood of Jesus. Immediately, the fire went off, and the Sango worshippers started hailing her.
Other examples of primitive faith:
1. David standing up to Goliath.
2. Elijah challenging the prophets of Baal.

2. Elijah challenging the prophets of Baal.
The enemy might win a few battles; however, as Christians we should strive to win the war.
We keep challenging by the power in the blood of Jesus.
We should share in God's anger against the evil ones.
Sudden death, sudden glory. Keep fighting for Christ.
We serve a warrior God, we cannot pray once or twice and let go after few days.
We need holy desperation; we need bold, non-compromising faith.
Those who risked their reputation to be with Christ, end u winning.
Faith that does not get its hands dirty.
Primitive faith removes mountains.

Indian Green Energy Champion
Meet The Man Who Has Built A House That Satisfies All His Needs From Food To Water To Gas
Copied from https://thelogicalindian.com/story-feed/exclusive/solar-suresh/
Solar power is reshaping energy production around the world. While people are choosing to move to solar power in many countries like China, Japan, Germany, and the United States, Indians are also changing their lifestyle to use solar power as a source of energy.
One such person is Dwarkadas Suresh, popularly known as Solar Suresh. An IIT Madras and IIM Ahmedabad graduate, he lives in Chennai with his wife, son, and daughter-in-law. He has worked in textile marketing industries in various capacities including as the Chief Executive Officer, Managerial Director. He retired in 2015, and is now enjoying his green home.
The Logical Indian spoke to Mr Suresh to know more about his lifestyle, inspiration and challenges.
What was the motivation to shift to solar energy?
I was in Germany and witnessed many rooftop plants there. I thought if a country with a lot less sunshine can install these facilities, then why not implement the same in India which has solar energy in abundance?When I came back, I interacted with a lot of vendors, but no one agreed to install it. It was hard to find a suitable rooftop solar plant vendor and also to get a proper solar inverter. Even big corporates did not show any interest. After some time, I located a local vendor who had the same interest as mine. He manufactured and designed the solar power plant of my home.
What changes have you observed since then?
I installed a rooftop solar plant of 3kW capacity four years ago. I connected one Air Conditioner, Pump, Refrigerator, Fans, Lights, TV, Computer and Laptop, Mixer Grinder and Washing Machine. I have not experienced power cut even for a minute in the last four years except during Cyclone Vardah. There was no electricity for one day.
The electricity charges are saved by producing around 12-16 units a day. There are many other advantages like no daily maintenance. It generates electricity even during mild and rainy days. The major advantage is that solar produces non-polluting power, does not work on fossil fuel and thus saves foreign exchange for the country.
The general idea is that solar plants are expensive, high maintenance, etc.
What is your take on this?
It is a one-time investment. Raw material is free for around 20 years, and the process of generating electricity is also free for 20 years during the lifespan of panels. There is an inbuilt insurance from future tariff increase which is certain. For example, the tariff was Rs 3 per unit (beyond 500 units) in 2012 scaling up to Rs 6.60 now, an increase of over 120% in 3 years.
There is no separate wiring required. The standalone rooftop solar plant is a sustainable, affordable, viable project, presently giving over 6 percent tax-free return including battery replacement. With tariff increase, this return on investment will only increase. The installation is also quite simple. It requires a shadow-free area, about 80 sq ft per kW.
What other projects have you started at your home?
Solar panels are reliable sources. I have also installed indoor biogas plant of 1 cubic meter to process around 4 kg organic waste per day, and it produces to about 20 kg of gas per month. There is no daily maintenance. The waste which is generated is converted into two useful resources- cooking gas and organic manure. What can be a better way of garbage management? Installation is also very simple process, and no odour is generated. The entire process is automatic. There is no manual intervention except feeding the plant daily. There is no pollution generated. There are also certain conditions like only organic waste such as cooked or uncooked food, spoilt food, vegetable and fruit peels, etc. can be used as input. The other items like lime, orange, onion, egg shells, bones, ordinary leaves should be avoided.
I also started rainwater harvesting around 20 years ago. Now there are two types of RWH – first is filter and store use and second is recharge groundwater use. In the first case, rainwater is collected and filtered through a simple organic filtration by using pebbles, charcoal and river sand. This water can be used for cooking and drinking purpose.
The second case is when the rainwater accumulates or stagnates, a pipe of 15 feet length and 8-inch diameter with holes every foot is inserted into the ground such that water goes into the pipe and recharges groundwater.
And then again there is no daily maintenance required. Just before the arrival of monsoon season, the terrace space should be cleaned, and organic items like pebbles, charcoal, sand are to be reused and kept tidy.
Apart from these, I have a terrace kitchen garden. Since I was a novice then and had no knowledge about it, I started with five pots and sowed seeds. I watched vegetables like lady’s finger, tomatoes, brinjal growing. Now there are 70 earthen pots, broken plastic buckets and many bags. Organically we have grown about 15 types of vegetables. It is a very pleasant sight to see my garden growing, and the vegetables from the garden are tastier than we get from the market. We do not go to the market to buy groceries, and we just have everything on our terrace.
How does it feel to go green?
Oh, it feels wonderful. In fact, we have created a forest atmosphere. There are growing bamboo plants, creepers to flow over them. When you peep from the terrace, one gets a feeling of being in the forest and not in Kilpauk. I cannot see neighbouring buildings and chaotic traffic. I am surrounded only by greenery.
