KNOWLEDGE IS NOT POWER!

Okay, I agree, knowledge is power. But let me share something I discovered with you.

The bible says "all power belongs to God". And that literally means that there are different categories of power. Romans 13:1 further tells us that "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God". Which means there are lower powers.

Intellectual knowledge gives you power; but it will not give you power to get wealth, to get a job, or start a business. If all you invest in is intellectual knowledge, then all you would have is intellectual power. Some people are really intelligent, but even with their intelligence, they have never been employed nor operated a business of their own. That is probably why we have countless number of graduates still seeking for employment. You may have studied law, but with your intellectual power, there is no guarantee that you will practice law.

Daniel had intellectual knowledge. He was in the same class with many astrologers and magicians. But when the king had a dream, their intellectual knowledge could not help them. As a matter of scriptures, the king sentenced all of them to death. Imagine how many graduates are fed up, all because there is no opportunity to invest their intellectual knowledge? Even the ones that manage to secure a job work lower than their grades.

But here was Daniel, someone who also had spiritual knowledge. The bible records that God gave him wisdom, knowledge and understanding in all learning. There is no course in Harvard that would teach you "how to pray to God to receive revelation about someone else's dream", it was a clear application of spiritual knowledge. He prayed to God about the matter, and God intervened.

Let me conclude with this; knowledge is power; but the kind of power you need in this coming times is spiritual power. And the only way you can have it is to invest in spiritual knowledge. I am not saying you should not go to school or study other things, but that you should create a schedule to invest in spiritual knowledge. May God give us understanding!

God bless you, I love you, and don't forget to share!

TIMELY NOTES!

TIMELY NOTES! Having faith without a connectivity to the Author of faith is a waste of time. Faith may please God, but love creates a link between the one who has faith in God and God Himself. The bibles says "faith is the substance of things hoped for"; that could also mean that faith dwells on material things. But God is love; having true love in your heart is simply having God in your heart. This makes it impossible for your faith to please God without love for Him in your heart. Being filled with the word of faith doesn't mean you're filled with love for God. Love for God is something you must consciously decide to build. Trying to build a relationship with God is closely related to how a man tries to get a woman to like him. When a man wins a woman's heart, he can believe her for anything that is in her capacity to do - which she would do without fail. The bible talks about a set of people that God will answer even before they pray; and while they're

TIMELY NOTES!

TIMELY NOTES! The life and acts of Jesus on earth was a fulfilment of prophecy. Prophecies are the direct words of God spoken through the mouth of His prophets. For instance, God told Ezekiel to speak to the bones, and when he did, the bones heard. God told Abraham that Israel will suffer for 400 years in Egypt, and it was so. In Matthew chapter 21, Jesus sent two of His disciples to a village to bring a donkey - which He'd use for a majestic entrance into Jerusalem. And verse 4 said "All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet... " Great prophecies had gone ahead of Jesus, but He didn't wait for them to come to pass, rather, He made them come to pass. The prophecy stated that "Jesus would come, sitting upon a donkey", but it didn't tell Jesus how and where to get the donkey. A prophecy will remain dormant until you've played your part. Imagine for a moment, what if Jesus didn't make a move to get the donkey,

TIMELY NOTES! Fasting increases the depth of our thirst. People who live by chance may never see reasons to fast. Even though the happenings around them affects them, they just feel too lazy to take responsibility. I have vowed that in this year 2017, I will not let my life end with a story that will not give God glory, I will take responsibility and recreate the happenings around my life by the word of God. I have discovered that many people do not face the challenges ahead until their challenges reaches their neck. Heart attack is not actually what the medical practitioners call it, it is what happens when your challenges begins to cease your breath. Haven't you heard people say things like "I need breathing space"? Stop compiling your challenges, hoping that they would go on their own. If they would go on their own then they would not be in 2017 with you. From experience, I have discovered that challenges that go on their own do not require prayers, and the ones th
