What knowledge do you seek?
Knowledge is good, it is life and hope. They that possess knowledge shall have a place to stand.I am seriously on a mission to establish the fine roots of some issues that raise controversy. Before then, I am obliged to find out the basis of knowledge under which controversy arises. I bring to the world a topic of consideration; Spirit and contemporary life at a glance.
First I must confess my new insight on knowledge and Holy Spirit impartation.
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. Hosea 4:6 H(KJV)

Those in search of knowledge must be careful so that such knowledge will not bring controversy to the very foundation they profess to anchor their lives on.For instance, the above scripture is about Israel.In Hosea's time, this nation had turned from the knowledge of God.They did not hearken to God's truth and mercy.They filled their minds with filthiness.We must note that the knowledge that God wants to bring does not come to make us scholars and experts as we would think.Rather, Godly knowledge is meant to impact our lives and make us obedient children who understand their divine positioning.Let's find out where we should mine Godly knowledge as born again believers in Christ.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak Joh 16:13
Holy Bible (KJV)

Holy Bible (KJV)
Jesus shares with the disciples on the promise of the Holy Spirit.He; the Holy Spirit is our teacher. When you are led by the Holy Spirit of God, you mine knowledge that brings glory to our heavenly Father. The Scriptures become clear to you, you see no contradiction in them and no controversy arises.
Otherwise, you are headed to a knowledge that lacks the wisdom to handle the issues provided by the same.Today, we can count believers who became atheists and dropped their faith because of a perverse knowledge. I must warn you and not me (but I am convicted of doing this) that if you study theology under human provisions and knowledge you will become contravened to the knowledge of the truth.We must understand therefore that knowledge whose aim is to puff up your mind and make you have the guts to challenge your very own faith is doomed to a questionable agenda.I dare you, let the aim of your search for knowledge be anchored on the resourcefulness of the Holy Spirit who reveals to us all that comes from our Heavenly Father. He does not contradict ideas and His revelations are unquestionable.The Church today is challenged by many opposing doctrines that contravene the true revelations of God's word.This is as a result of people who gave their opinion and made those opinions the basis of their faith instead of letting revelations from the Holy Spirit build their faith.When men became defectors of the truth, they build themselves such cocoons inside which they can habitat in comfort.

This can never keep away the truth from existence. We must tame our mind to conform to the truth and build our knowledge and any literacy efforts on it.This is because people who reject the truth not out of ignorance but out of wrong knowledge(which is ignorance too) will most like suffer stubbornness under which they enforce their lives to exist. We all can not deny the power of bringing up a child under a strict moral orientation.Most likely, if the root intention behind such an upbringing is known and firmly embraced by the child, you must dare not induce otherwise.This is exactly what happens to one who studies knowledge with an open mind that's willing to decide in respect to the knowledge under study.
I introduced this article by a word called controversy.Yes, and this is what the word of God was not made to do. Contrary to this, we have many controversial issues today surrounding the word.We dare not ignore this matter.
However, our lives should become oriented to the true revelations of the Word by the Holy Spirit until we become disengaged from any contradiction. The contradiction of ideas brings a controversy. That's why I said that the Holy Ghost does not bring any contradictions whatsoever.
Jesus reiterated a word that seems a mystery to the world

Jesus reiterated a word that seems a mystery to the world
[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.Joh 14:17 (KJV)
The world can not know Him.It indeed can't understand His operations. It only marvels in amazement.
This is the ground from which controversy arises in the Christian faith; when the revelations that the world cannot understand are framed by the minds of mere men who study about God.This itself raises questions.Should knowledge be our immediate desire or should we pursue avenues that open our mind to access the right knowledge?Can knowledge make us ignorant of the same subjects we seek the knowledge about? Is there a reason to study what does not practically affect our subjects of interests? Are there any standard materials that indicate the impact by which the knowledge they imply should be executed?
Knowledge without wisdom is very dangerous.As we pursue knowledge, we should seek wisdom too. Both are inseparable in the cases where the knowledge is applicable. Understand therefore that if the knowledge you are pursuing arises contradiction to you, you must either be willing to come out your cocoon and pursue more knowledge or if you are undoubtedly convinced that you are true to the knowledge you have, you must drop such endeavors and remain that ignorant to that. Most importantly, the knowledge from which truth is built does not get challenged nor contradicted because to the fourth right, it ends any external pressures by harmonizing every detail if itself.
