Refuse the Scourge of Ignorance

No matter how terrible a man's situation might be, as long as he is willing to learn, he is not yet hopeless.
The greatest enemy of mankind is not the devil, as most preachers or books may tell you. It can't be the devil because Jesus the Christ defeated him on the cross about two millennia ago, and bought for us, freedom from him. Mankind's greatest enemy is ignorance. The only time Satan can have dominion over you is when you cooperate with him, by refusing to seek information or knowledge. Ignorance, of course is associated with darkness. No wonder the devil is called the prince of darkness.
If you seek growth this year, then you must make a covenant with yourself to seek knowledge as if your whole life depends on it (of course it does, when you seek the right knowledge). Of course, knowledge is synonymous with light. No wonder the Holy Book says, "The entrance of your word gives light and understanding to the simple."
Nothing in life is yours until you understand it. How i wish you know the amazing resources God has placed at your disposal on earth. But you under utilize these resources because information to understand how it works is hidden from you. But the good news is that you can find it, if you seek it. For when you seek, you shall find!
Discover God's purpose for your life. Then begin to seek relevant information that can help you achieve that. Read books. Buy tapes and CDs. I personally listen to at least four tapes/CDs a day, and two books a month. It will change your life, and your productivity quotient will shoot up like magic, i promise you. Even you, will be amazed by the level of results you'll begin to deliver. When you go online, don't just facebook, or chat, or read about football clubs, etc. Seek information.
By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding, her pillars are established. How will you be built if you lack wisdom and understanding. And how can you have wisdom without information?
The Internet is the greatest tool and gift that the 21st Century gave to us. Take advantage of that. Refuse to be ignorant this year. You need knowledge to grow.
Remember, that all you need for life is wrapped up in the Word. That is your primary and most authentic source of information.
When you make the quest for information your greatest passion and pastime this year, your growth will assume geometric proportions and you will outperform your contemporaries. Be sure to let me know when you start seeing the results, because i'm so sure it'll happen!
Welcome to your year of Extra Measure, and...BE INSPIRED, my friend!
