HOW THE ENEMY MANIPULATES “KNOWLEDGE” TO DECEIVE AND DESTROY DESTINIES OF GREAT PEOPLE
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (Genesis 3:5- KJV)
The above quoted scripture was the pronouncement and proposition that Satan; the serpent presented to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Satan employed deception and manipulation to convince Eve that God had “concealed and hidden” critical knowledge from her. He affirmed that such critical knowledge would transform Eve and her husband into gods once she gained access to such “Esoteric Knowledge”. Evil is so complex and Satan’s greatest weapon is not limited to manipulating the twin concepts; the human and divine viewpoints. Satan’s greatest method of attack isn’t torturing, killing, terror, but false concepts and doctrines. (see 1 Timothy 4:1-2).
God had spiritually created man in His own image and likeness and granted him dominion within the created universe.(see Genesis 1:26-27). The concept of the image of God is significant because the functional, relational and spiritual view and purpose is revealed. The image of God involves the function of dominion, whereas the relational aspect is based on love, trust, dependence and obedience to God Almighty.
When Eve saw that the forbidden tree was good for food and pleasant to the eyes; she proceeded to redefined God’s prohibition as being good. She equated herself on the same level with God who has sovereign righteous authority to pronounce what He knows as good or not good. (See Genesis 3:6). This scenario marked the beginning of the quest for “special knowledge” that would elevate humanity to the level of divinity. Ultimately, this has been the motivating factor fuelling the evolution of civilizations that are opposed to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. (see John 19:36-37).
Subsequently, the “negative” propensity and passion to be like God Almighty manifested in a rebel called Nimrod who attempted to build a city and tower that would be flood-proof and reach heaven. Nimrod’s city was a political- civil union of the earth’s inhabitants at that time. The tower was a religious enterprise and means of reaching heaven as all human beings united together in a self-effort agenda, portraying the first example of a world government.(see Genesis 11 :1 -4) . It appears the inspiration to Government” of God comes from the insatiable thirst for prohibited spiritual knowledge.
In our current, dispensation, knowledge has evolved, increased and has been categorized into different systems. One such system of knowledge is called scientific and technological knowledge. Today, one of such categories of knowledge is called Artificial Intelligence which is based on transistor technology. A transistor is a tiny semiconductor device used to control, switch and amplify electrical signals in electronic circuits. Transistors are the core components of microchips, processors, etc. For the sake of emphasis and enlightenment, the transistor was “developed” by Dr. William Shockley and colleagues in the 1940’s.
Artificial Intelligence is changing the world in unprecedented ways. Every aspect of human existence will be transformed by Artificial Intelligence. Yet, Artificial Intelligence will produce two conflicting outcomes: high productivity and financial-economic benefits to those who own and use Artificial Intelligence and reduced employment and other economic opportunities to those who don’t own or possess it. (Daniel 12:1-4). Artificial Intelligence is the process of creating and developing, non human intelligent technological agents.
Therefore, Artificial Intelligence is a disruptive technology because in its formal beginning in the 1950s, the basic idea was substitution; creating intelligent machines with computing, prediction analysis, problem solving and creative abilities. On the other hand, its fundamental to underscore that secular scientific knowledge can be used manipulatively. For example during the holocaust, science was invoked and used manipulatively to legitimize the extermination of the Jewish communities.
In addition, there is another category of self-effort, secular human knowledge called modernism and post modernism. The architects of modernism perceived the world in which western scientific enquiry could produce real gains in human control over nature and in the ordering of culture. The modernist idea is based on the concept of human progress and the assumption that there are real universal and available answers to the question of human existence and purpose and that through science and rationality, “truth” could be uncovered. From time immemorial, both rationalism and empiricism have failed find out the truth. (see Romans 1:20-25)
I believe, and contend that Christianity should not be reduced to secular knowledge since Christianity manifests revealed knowledge that is “superior and supersedes” secular knowledge. (see John 8:32).
However, as Christians living in the end times, we are admonished and encouraged to operate and function as Priests and Kings in order prevail in our different kingdom assignments and fulfilling the Great Commission in the Powerful name of Jesus Christ. (see Revelation 5:9-10, Matthew 28:18-20)

INVITATION- SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE!
However, salvation is the fundamental gift and benefit which Christ Jesus brought to us. Everything we can conceive and aspire to be without Christ Jesus is limited to this present temporary life. The invisible spiritual realm is more real and permanent than the present physical realm of human existence. (see 2 Corinthians 4:18).Therefore, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour; kindly pray the following prayer in faith and humility. (see Romans 10:9-10 ,John 3:16).
Dear God Almighty, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe that you sent Jesus to die on the Cross of Calvary for my sins and you raised Him from the dead, on the third day. I know that I cannot save myself. I repent of all my sins and ask for the precious blood of Jesus to cleanse me of every iniquity. I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. Holy Spirit of God take total control of my life as you lead and guide me in to God’s purpose for my life in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
