The University of Ignorance

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!

Be Thankful, Be Content, Be Rich

"A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety." ~ Aesop

In just 13 words, Aesop captures within this quote the power of contentment and so much more than that. But who will hear the message through all of the seasonal noise?

As we Americans take pause to observe Thanksgiving, the hustle and bustle of the annual holiday often has us swallowing the feast of contentment without even tasting it. Rather than slowing down and peacefully enjoying the crust of simplicity, we feel it necessary to anxiously partake in a banquet of complexity.

The Differences Between Entrepreneurship And Self-Employment

I got intrigued by this powerful article 'Difference between Entrepreneurship and Self-employment; by Adeyemi Olumide. Enjoy!

The differences between ENTREPRENEURSHIP and SELF-EMPLOYMENT

A lot of times we do hear or read about the benefits of being self employed/entrepreneur. In fact, this seems to be the best concept to wealth. But not for once have I ever knew that there is a difference between self-employment and entrepreneurship not until I started reading business articles and books, listening to great business consultants - the likes of Fela Durotoye, Kunle Soriyan, Brain Tracey (these are my most favorites and role model) and so on. Then I sat down thinking every night, am I an entrepreneur or self-employed?

The Leicester City story: From relegation to champions

THE story of Leicester from April 2015 to present day is nothing short of phenomenal.

Sitting dead last in the Premier League and staring an immediate return to the Championship square in the face on April 18, 2015 not a single person could have predicted this...

The then Nigel Pearson-led Foxes won an incredible SEVEN of their last nine games in the 2014-15 season to evade the clutches of the dreaded drop zone.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Fire Up Your Creativity

Matthew 25:13-30, Gen 6:8, Matt 3:8, James 2:18

 

Men and brethren, there is no creation without the act of creativity. No man can rise above the level of his imagination to be a creator. When you imagine what you desire, you will possess what you imagine. Therefore, the ability of making the simple awesomely simple is creativity. You are fired up in creativity when you become a doer of your creative thinking. In the Parable of the talent in Matthew 25:13-30, talent is the element of money. It is indeed unfortunate that the term “talent” means something very different today from what our Lord meant when He told this parable. The talent was the largest measurement of money in those days. Since a talent was actually a measurement of weight, it did not have a constant value. A talent of gold, for example, would be worth a whole lot more than a talent of bronze. While commentators differ somewhat over the approximate value of a talent in today’s economy, all would agree that it was a large amount of money. Some say that it was the equivalent to 20 years’ wages for a common labourer. We must remember, then, that a talent is a measure of money; it is not a reference to abilities. The talents were distributed on the basis of ability, not as the bestowing of ability. “And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey” Matthew 25:15

Christian Inspiration: Habit of Champions

This article belongs to Dr. C. I. and I have his permission to reproduce it here on this blog. More inspiring articles by Dr C. I. can be found on The Comfort Zone.

The Habits of Champions

Ephesians 5:15, 16, Genesis 41:25-57, Exodus 19:10, 2 Thess 3:10, Matthew 26:41
 

Men and brethren, life is made in a way that no man succeeds by mere wishing. God has deposited to everyone unique gifts and talents. And permit me to say that what you love is what you’re gifted at. Therefore, whenever you fail, never stop in your pursuit for wellness and well-being. For as long as you have faith, you’ll grow and be living and loving with more wisdom and favour from the awesomely awesome God. Life is made in a way that to be completely happy, to live a completely fulfilled life, you have to love God and do what you love. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfilment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it. Success, happiness, peace of mind and fulfilment, the most priceless of human treasures are available to all among us, without exception, who make things happen. Who make good things happen in the world around them? Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfilment. The scripture also confirms and affirms the importance of work. “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10. Therefore, today’s devotion will concentrate on areas of self-development and self-fulfilment and how you can display habits of champions.

Christian Analysis: The Shepherd Psalm - Psalm 23

The Christian article was originally posted by Mavisguy212 of Nairaland. It gives an awesome analysis of Psalm 23. Read, enjoy and be enlightened.

The Shepherd Psalm - Psalm 23

Psalm 23 has six verses.It is especially appreciated by unsaved church people who like to think the Lord is their Shepherd when He's not. Unfortunately, some of the better known portions of Scripture are the portions that deal with anything except salvation. Perhaps the most well known verses of Scripture--or portions--are the Sermon on the Mount, I Corinthians 13, the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and Psalm 23. Now, the reason why these are favorites is because nothing in one of those passages could tell anybody how to be saved. And all those passages assume the man is either an Old Testament saint or a New Testament saint. So all unsaved people like those portions of Scripture that don't call their sins to their attention.

Christian Analysis: The Fool Say There Is No God - Psalm 14:1

The Christian article was originally posted by Mavisguy212 of Nairaland. It gives an amazing perspective on Psalm 14:1. Read, enjoy and be enlightened.

The Fool Say There Is No God - Psalm 14:1

Christians often cite Psalm 14:1 as a rebuke of atheists. However,the Hebrew word translated "fool" doesn't have the same connotations as the English word. The passage actually says that we are all foolish.

Psalm 14:1 is the verse that a lot of Christians like to quote to atheists, believing it is a rebuke of their atheism. However, if we look at the entire passage, we see a different picture.

Inspiration: What are you?

Are you a winner, are you willing to chase your dreams, have you allowed the challenges of life to hold you down?

Life can be challenging; we encounter difficulty here and there, oppositions, limitations and setbacks in life. Yes, you are not alone in this challenging world. Sometimes, we find ourselves in positions we never envisaged that we are; we wish to turn things around but we keep hitting roadblocks.

In this post, we will look at the Parable of the Eagle by James Aggrey. We will analyse it and give example of how it is applicable to life.

Integrating Public Utilities with Private Generators

Integrating Public Utilities with Private Generators

On-Grid Connection of Private Generators

From my previous posts Challenges to Solar Power Solution in Nigeria, The Solar Power Solution and Electricity Industry in Nigeria, I have written about the challenges and solutions to Electricity Business in Nigeria; however, there is still an aspect that I am yet to write about.

Currently, all private generation of electricity is for private consumption in Nigeria. While running our private generators for homes and businesses, there are times when these generators are not capable of supplying all our energy needs and other times; these generators generate excess power for our consumption. All the excess power generated is usually wasted while the generators serve their lifetimes. Companies that possess high capacity generators can actually feed-in the excess power generated by them to the local Distribution Company and earn money or energy credits. Also, when private generators cannot generate enough power, it will augment with the power from the Distribution Company.

Challenges to Solar Power Solution in Nigeria

Challenges to Solar Power Solution in Nigeria

How can we make this Solar Power solution possible in Nigeria?

Where can the everyday Nigerian get the money for Solar Power generation?

The first thing about a solution is accepting it as a solution. I have gone thru a quiz from friends on how I can recoup my money if I install it for consumer. However, my goal is not to install for a consumer but to install for very Nigerian and African at large.

Ideas rule the world.
