Basic Scripture Daily Manna 5 December 2025 Prayer Points and Declarations

BASIC SCRIPTURE: HOSEA 4:1-7 (NKJV)

1 Hear the word of the Lord, You children of Israel, For the Lord brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “There is no truth or mercy Or knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing and lying, Killing and stealing and committing adultery, They break all restraint, With bloodshed upon bloodshed.
3 Therefore the land will mourn; And everyone who dwells there will languish, With the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; Even the fish of the sea will be taken away.
4 “Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
5 Therefore you shall stumble in the day; The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; And I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
7 “The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.

Reflection: Rejecting the Spiritual Famine

The book of Hosea presents a heartbreaking charge sheet from a grieved God against His people. Today’s passage opens with a divine lawsuit: God has a “charge” or a “controversy” (KJV) with His people. The core of the issue is not merely ritual failure, but a catastrophic collapse of character and covenant relationship.

The Lord identifies a three-fold deficiency that plagues the land (v. 1):

1. No Truth: A society built on falsehood, deception, and broken promises.

2. No Mercy: A culture devoid of covenant love, kindness, and compassion.

3. No Knowledge of God: A people who are willfully ignorant of God’s nature, His ways, and His Word.

This internal rot manifests in external sin—lying, violence, and sexual immorality (v. 2). The consequence is a creation-wide curse (v. 3) and a generational breakdown (v. 6-7).

Verse 6 stands as one of the most sobering declarations in Scripture: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” This is not a lack of intellectual information, but a willful rejection of relational knowledge of God. They forgot the law of their God, and the result was devastation and divine rejection.

In an age of information overload, this is a stark warning. We can have access to countless sermons and devotionals, yet still suffer a spiritual famine by not internalizing and obeying the truth we hear. God is calling us today to a passionate pursuit of His knowledge—not to fill our heads, but to transform our hearts and guide our steps, lest we too stumble from glory into shame.
