TOPIC: The Price Of Ignorance

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 16-18

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 29:18; 1 Samuel 3:1-7 (KJV)

Proverbs 29:18;

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

1 Samuel 3:1-7;

1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;

3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.

6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.

MEMORY VERSE: “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” – James 1:25

The MESSAGE:

Ignorance is costly. It has a blinding effect. A lot of people have paid dearly for ignorance.

As a student in England, I shared a room with three other students and we had to share among ourselves, household chores. One of us would go to the market to buy foodstuff, another person would prepare the meal, while the third person would dish it out, set the table and wash up afterwards. One day, things were bought and I was to prepare the stew and I did it very well. The second person was to prepare the “eba” (paste made from cassava) and I noticed that he did not know how to prepare it. He poured the processed cassava (garri) in a bowl and was pouring hot water on it when I came to his rescue. This was a learned medical doctor, who was pampered at home and who did not know how to do anything, not even a simple cassava paste.

Many believers are like that. They want people to do everything for them. Some marriages have problems, because the husbands expect their wives to do everything like a slave. Some wives are lazy and pampered and so leave everything to their housemaids to do. They are so lazy that they are unable to wash their own underwears themselves and so leave them for their housemaids to do the washing. That was how a demonic housemaid had the opportunity to take the underwears of her master and mistress to her witchcraft meeting. From that, trouble started in their home. The husband started having strange women outside and sometimes making amorous advances to the housemaid. There have been cases of housemaids taking over homes like that. Believers who have no vision have lost so much in life. You must keep your vision alive.
