READ BEFORE YOU RUN: WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE! 

“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

Don’t be fooled. Ignorance is destructive, cancerous and killing. Knowledge delivers and emancipates. Understanding gives direction and drive. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. 

” Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV. 

“For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:12. 

A person of wisdom is given to life and strength; given to time, opportunity and right judgement. Wisdom is the principal thing. Ensure you get understanding while in all your search for knowledge. 

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

As wisdom is the application of knowledge, so a man’s wisdom makes him to shine, radiates in glory and boldness without fear; much more, there is no room to feel evil when you know you are wisely living by the commandment of our God in Christ Jesus stead. And you can discern by such knowledge wisely, then utilises the informed acquisition to redeem the time and make judgement of a context irrespective, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Wisdom to direct is a consequence of knowledge and understanding, and it makes one work smartly, networks gracefully and do life effortlessly, and achieve in quality and quantity with speed and accuracy. 

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the INTERPRETATION of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT shall FEEL no EVIL thing: and a WISE man’s heart discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5. 

“If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him succeed [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified 

Therefore, READ BEFORE YOU RUN, so that you can make the right decision and maximise your given potential to fulfil purpose meaningfully with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

THE DANGER OF SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE:

By Leave a Comment

THE DANGER OF SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE: IT LEADS ONE TO ERRORS, TO BECOME MISTAKEN AND TO BE ELUDED FROM THE POWER OF GOD!

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION [GATHERING] of the DEAD [UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD]” Proverbs 21:16.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but THE WAY of TRANSGRESSORS [DISOBEDIENT, ARROGANT] is HARD (DIFFICULT, FRUSTRATING, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.

Our Father God does not contain ignorance, the masterpiece of stupidity and foolishness and arrogance, especially in the midst of every opportunity to earn knowledge. Wisdom to do life and become in the grace, comes through knowledge and understanding. Playing the game of ignorance, takes no one along with God. God WINKS at ignorant people, especially when there’s every opportunity and possibility and signs indicating to ask to know and enquire the understanding to enable one excel in life and grace.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at [OVERLOOKED]; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT  [CHANGE]: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given ASSURANCE unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

Jesus Christ our saviour and Lord didn’t increase in wisdom, statue and in favour with Father God and man, by a mere wish, but took early time of His humanity to sit to know and understand by being in places to ask questions and get answers to be in understanding, in order to fulfil purpose meaningfully in Father God’s BUSINESS  [ASSIGNMENT] concerning Him. And why can’t you too, seek after knowing and understanding in context the matter of life and godliness, in order to ensure an assured content in the grace. So, get out of the erroneous and mistaken path due to ignorance and get into the path of knowledge and understanding in context; in order to be fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in the grace wherein you are called in content.

“And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, SITTING in the midst of the DOCTORS [TEACHERS], both HEARING them, and ASKING them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and answers. . . . 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my FATHER’S BUSINESS? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2: 46-52.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].

Avoid ignorance by every means. It’s dangerous and the sides effects and consequences it’s unimaginable. Ensure in every subject you endeavour to know and understand the context and possibly contents in order to avoid – erroneous position, become mistaken and misconstrued, and eluded from the power of God – meaning, the enabling of God’s grace for such context to be made revealing and manifesting for your good and BLESSEDNESS.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

Ignorance hurts and hunts. It makes one stupid and foolish. It frustrates one’s efforts. It keeps one away from the good of God – for God winks at ignorance. Ignorance subjugates. It enslaves. It captivates. It’s destructive. The sides effects it’s innumerable and unimaginable and never a wish for any – therefore don’t even imagine it or allow it plays around you and within your domain at any given moment. PURSUE to ENSURE knowledge and understanding always in order to stay safe.

“A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH STRENGTH” Proverbs 24:5.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

For God is FAITHFUL and rewarding Father God, who cherished achieving and accomplishing anything through process which is a consequence of knowledge and understanding. For wisdom to succeed in excellence is the application of knowledge, unlike ignorance whose effects it’s to be slothful [sluggard] and unproductive. For whatever has no process of accomplishments is a fraud and a scam in context and content. God wants you to be a follower of Him and those who do life and godliness, through knowledge and understanding of the scriptural context to ensure an assured content.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNGRATEFUL, UNFAITHFUL] to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT [ACCOMPLISH, ACHIEVE] the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

IT PAYS TO PATIENTLY STRIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAN TO STAY IN IGNORANCE WITH ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STUPIDITY AND FOOLISHNESS, SLOTHFULNESS AND SLUGGISHNESS THAT IT BRINGS – UNPRODUCTIVE IN CONTEXT AND CONTENT.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE [UN-EASE] place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts. For by IGNORANCE many talents, vision and dreams that would have enhance life and godly living in uplifting and placing people and persons’ in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, has landed and ended such in the GRAVEYARDS – unfulfilled, unsung, unproductive, unwritten, unaccomplished and such like.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK [REFLECT]!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at [OVERLOOKED]; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT  [CHANGE]: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given ASSURANCE unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS [DIFFICULT, TASKMASTER, BURDENSOME, IRKSOME]” 1 John 5:3 Emphasis Mine.

“And now, BRETHREN, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED [UNIQUELY SET APART]” Acts 20:32.

“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.

“Therefore, MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore HELL hath ENLARGED herself and OPENED her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be EXALTED in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

By Leave a Comment

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING: A KEY TO ENACT AND AUTHENTICATE YOU IN LIVING AND DOING LIFE WISELY!

A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH” Proverbs 24:5.

It’s true that a man of KNOWLEDGE is a man of strength; but a man of UNDERSTANDING is a man of wisdom – both to live and do life wisely – any where, any day and any time.

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” (Proverbs 4:7).

I hereby employ you expediently, to pray in line as in Ephesians 1:15-23 for the Spirit of understandable knowledge in the revelation spirit of wisdom and understanding – in order to live and do life wisely. For wisdom – the consequence of knowledge and understanding gives life and makes one to shine and radiate in glory.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Understanding emancipates and gives complete Freedom in all about life. For until you UNDERSTAND what you claim to KNOW, you are as good as the IGNORANT – UNINFORMED, UNPRODUCTIVE and ILL-EQUIPPED.

A mere PASSION (zeal) and KNOWLEDGE take one to no where until there’s an UNDERSTANDING of the knowledgeable passion (zeal).

Seek for UNDERSTANDING today in the light of the Scriptures, for God will open the eyes of your understanding and give you the enlightenment and illumination in LIFE and GRACE to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS within you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, I pray that the eyes of your understanding might be enlightened  and illuminated, in LIFE and GRACE, to ensure the needed WISDOM that will give you the leverage and stability in your destined – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Amen!

Herein is the PRAYERLINE of – Ephesians 1:15-23 to appropriate for yourself accordingly:

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in MY PRAYERS: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE to you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of Him, 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that you may KNOW what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVES FAVOUR: but the way of transgressors (ignorance) is hard (difficult, rough)’’ Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis mine).

“The man that WANDERS OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the congregation of the dead (unproductive, ignorant and unwise people)” (Proverbs 21:6 (Emphasis mine)

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Further Scriptural Reading In Context: Ephesians 1:15-23.

WISDOM – THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IS THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE

By 1 Comment

WISDOM – THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IS THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE:THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL [PASSION], KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING LIFE PURPOSE!

“If the IRON BE BLUNT, and he do not WHET THE EDGE, then must he put to MORE STRENGTH: but WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

Wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct when one sharpens ones life by knowledge, for godly wisdom is the application of godly knowledge, and godly knowledge which is a consequence of godly information [of being informed], when rightly applied in the understanding of the context in question, thereby gives godly direction. For an informed wisdom person makes informed wise judgment and decisions and feels no evil or imagine evil or think evil in times and in judgement [decision].

“Who is as the WISE man? and who KNOWETH the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall FEEL NO EVIL thing: and a WISE man’s heart discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5.
 
Therefore, I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. For SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header, the content and the context as you read along. And godly wisdom, the application of godly knowledge is the essence of grace and virtue in all that pertains to doing earthly life and living godly toward the heavenly cause, by God’s divine enabling nature and power for the believing one in Christ Jesus stead. So, pause and think as it’s written:
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to GLORY and VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.
 
Know for sure and certain, that, while there is time to SOAR in DOMINION, there is a Place of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING in life, that worth a proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully in the wisdom of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. You need to have the perspective of each context respectively in order to apply your heart in the path of wisdom. For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being to ensure your God’s given BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead is profitable as written:
 
“If the AXE is DULL and he does NOT SHARPEN its EDGE, then he must EXERT MORE STRENGTH; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him SUCCEED [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified.
 
LET US CONSIDER THE CONTEXT OF – PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – IN THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATIVE PERSPECTIVE TO WISDOM:
 
THE CONCEPT OF PASSION:
Passion, meaning Zeal, is a strong feeling or being intensely emotional about something – and it’s a vitality to our life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. However, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something, is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.
 
Our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity was full of COMPASSION (PASSIONATE) in all His ways of doing life to sort out human needs. Matthew 15:32; Hebrews 5:1-10.
 
Although it’s possible to be passionate about something without compassion but you can’t have compassion without being passionate to seeing the passion through. It thus also means, being passionate about something with compassion as – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more – can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply for this:
 
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

THE CONCEPT OF KNOWLEDGE:
KNOWLEDGE, is the information we feed into our; being that defines our response to Various matters in our doing life and living godly. And knowledge in context is not very muchly appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE – leading to stupidity and fooolishness. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.
 
One of the great high Priestley PRAYERS of Jesus Christ while in humanity was for us to KNOW the the father God John 17:3; and was so concern about those that believes in Him to KNOW the TRUTH also – John 8:30-32; and He equally challenge the religious sectarians and bigots of His days to KNOW the scriptures in order for them to KNOW the power of God accordingly otherwise they will keep living a mistaken and erroneous life – Matthew 22:29.
 
It thus means that the KNOWING of the context of a thing is important to evade ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness and erroneous transmission of information. However, as good and importance as KNOWLEDGE is, it’s not enough to get stalled in knowledge, there’s the need for an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. For a mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed up – meaning it breeds PRIDE and ARROGANCE – and it’s a dangerous place to be before God in all ramifications, because God resist the PROUD and ARROGANT in all totality – James 4:5-7; Proverbs 15:25; Proverbs 16:5. Hence, to safeguard pride and arrogance that a mere having ONLY knowledge does result, be wise to add UNDERSTANDING to KNOWLEDGE as in this scriptural context of admonition:
 
“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).
 
THE CONCEPT OF UNDERSTANDING:
The UNDERSTANDING of what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for doing the life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.
 
Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to attain a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING lifestyle, in our cause of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.
 
Our Lord Jesus have to ask two people He met on the way after His resurrection while at walk with them if they understand what they were discussing as they walk along even though they knew the scriptural context of what they were discussing on the road to Emmaus. And since they know the context but don’t understand the context, He then expanded the scriptures to their understanding and their spiritual eyes was illuminated and enlightened – Luke 24:1-27.
 
Hence, there’s the need to get UNDERSTANDING to help us make right decision which is wisdom, the bedrock and hallmark to living victoriously as enjoined:
 
“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with all the GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).
 
In summary, you can now come to terms that – when you measure your passionate life as expected of you to have as a living being in any field of doing life with knowledge – and you enhance that knowledge with the understanding in context to the matter of life – there’s no force on earth that can stop you in any endeavour no matter how long it takes to deal with the circumstances in the context of time. Be wise to walk in WISDOM – PASSIONATE KNOWING (KNOWLEDGE) + UNDERSTANDING, for it makes you a winner, victor, overcomer, triumphant and a more than conquerors in the battle field of life – any day, any time and any where.

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!
 
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
 
When People FAILED badly in life and godliness – it’s not merely ONLY for not KNOWING – it’s also, for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE and CONTEXT of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say again and again that:
“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”
 
Having an idea is good, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen also, the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. When the assumed rich just landed into wealth by only a mere knowledge born out of opportunities and zealousness without the understanding of the context on what the take on and know-how to sustain the position – it thus fails woefully; in same scenario, if a once poverty stricken person took to knowledge and know-how along with the understanding of the demand to such context; and certainly, such a person in that journey, will arrive there and live up to the demands to sustain and maintain it – and how to deal with the likely challenges in life; and the how to weather through the set conditions to the matter in question, and the how to become in the midst of the irrelevance about the context.
 
“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.
 
Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. That’s why a lack of the knowing and understanding of the purpose of a relationship leads to an abusive – abnormal use – relationship. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you can keep blossoming, refreshing, rekindling and rejuvenating in all weathers of having an answer prayers in life. For WISDOM IS the application of KNOWLEDGE which is, the by-access to understanding leading to deliverance and BLESSEDNESS in the grace. And it’s through KNOWLEDGE we can grasp the BLESSEDNESS of God to fulfilment, in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered . . .” 1 Peter 3:7-12.
 
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as His DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.
 
Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day – leading to loss of trust, financial power, personnel and such like.
 
For as the saying goes:
 
“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”
 
Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the context and etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant, erroneous and a wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation anything otherwise, God despises and brings to a fall. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.
 
To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL and FINANCE under your watch. It takes INFORMED – knowledgeable and understandable – LEADERS, to LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while the UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. And I say to you today and now – WHICH ARE YOU – A LEADER or A RULER?
 
More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING toward a set PRINCIPLE, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you to not take the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions – also, a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.
 
UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve in life under God meaningfully and to be fulfilled in any driven cause too. Also, a lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING to a cause, makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.
 
WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s scripturally GOOD and PROFITABLE in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. I plead with you therefore to pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your about KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY in context of the known thereby achieving meaningfully and purposefully in fulfillment of ones endeavour. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING.

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES

By Leave a Comment

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!
 
“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.
 
It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in ECONOMIC, WAR, POLITICAL and PANDEMIC state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job loses and bereavement of love ones and acquittance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodeling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do UNDERSTAND and the changes in times to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.
 
“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.
 
And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and the to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.
 
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.
 
It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within [Hebrews 11:1-3]. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – ([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.
 
My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING The ESSENCE!
 
Am yet to find one Believer in Christ who who does not want to actualise and see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus, is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE. Unfortunately not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus stead in their day to day living, as expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND as in the Holy Writ.
 
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
 
In ESSENCE, actualising our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus, can only be made possible through firstly – KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ:
 
“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).
And until you can ACTUALISE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God.
 
I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding, of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN you, DONE FOR you, DONE WITH you and He’s DOING THROUGH you, supposedly and indeed.
 
Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING:
** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
** That knowlege will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29
** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.
** That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.
** That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.
** That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.
** That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.
** That age is not equal to knowledge, and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.
** That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.
** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.
** That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.
** That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.
** That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.
** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.
** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.
** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.
** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.
 
These writ above though not limited, indicates the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the Holy in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’, ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after knowing and understanding the Holy one for your ESSENCE and FULNESS.
