INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE – YOU WORTH MORE!
“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).
A friend of mine just wrote a book that’s worth exploring, I didn’t wait to order myself a copy and as soon as the book reaches my door steps, I waste no time to unpack and gets into reading on my staircase in order to devour the writ because I know it’s a spiritual meal worth getting, knowing from whom it’s written. [Matthew 13:44-46]. For wisdom, the application of knowledge is at cost and worth it when you know the value of what you worth and the need and essence to keep the informed worth continuously refreshing, rekindling, rejuvenating and blossoming in life and grace.
How much do you think you WORTH? How much are you INVESTING on your WORTH to make it appreciate value the MORE? What’s your current lifestyle price tag? Don’t you intend spicing up your current stage and phase in life for a more healthier place? Are you still fresh or refreshing and rejuvenating in minds and thoughts? Are you still set in your old set mind setbacks ways? Are you living purposefully and meaningfully for a cause? Are you truly LIVING or you are just managing to EXIST? I just wants you to know that YOU WORTH A LIFE and needs to LIVE THE WORTH. It’s time to take a PAUSE and THINK about it for a moment before you take the next step of action.
“Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:3-5.
Today, I just discovered that my wife Faith is investing time, money and effort with a friend to learn and improve other and better ways of cooking delicious meals from the norm or usual to add to family menu. I’ve chosen to delay eating time so that I can be the taster. She doesn’t know it yet, except you inform her. Yes, I really do. And not quite long ago, she was investing on books to expand her horizons of knowledge on subjects that worth exploring explicitly and that matters to her dearly, instead of waiting for a second or third hands information that may have been distorted and adulterated from the original information – especially now in our world of social experiment that’s polluted with misinformation and disinformation across the boards.
However, living in a Micro-wave, Quick-fix life and fast-readily meal only will not do you any good on a long run deal with the world. And with the dynamics of the changes and challenges in the world, you can’t afford to remain static or to put a new wine in an old wineskins. There has to be a new you for your new day. From one glory to another glory, glowing in the Lord Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
When last did you really INVEST – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT to acquire the required and needed KNOWLEDGE to spice up, improve, promote, rekindle and synergise your current life status or the dysfunctional limitations and skill in terms of – CAREER OR TRADE TRADEMARKS, MARRIAGE or MARITAL & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, FRIENDSHIP OUTLOOK, LEADERSHIP SKILS, MINISTERIAL POTENTIAL, COOKING/COOKERY, COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENT and more of such like.
Don’t you know it’s a high time you READ to ACQUIRE skill or knowledge, or LEARN to EARN more again or the more in order to improve the quality of your life in grace – which is by attending a training course, go for a refreshing seminar or conference, take a different turn from the usual to make you innovate, create, initiate and explore – in order to be built up – at a cost of TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL and EFFORT. Look within and you will see that there are too much within you yet to be EXPLORE in order to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and bring about your best and ultimate well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it HE GOES AND SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD AND BOUGHT IT” Matthew 13:44-46 NKJV.
Now, I know why most times people are still set in their old ways that have captivated them and nothing adventurous is there, driving them to attain higher heights; and they see nothing worth pursuing to keep them fresh or refreshing in order to blossom, thrive, innovate and create; and they see nothing motivating, inspiring, revealing and empowering about them to enable them ensure they obtain the life that WORTH embracing, to compete or overcome the deteriorating worlds about you. My dearly beloved of God in Christ Jesus stead, know of a truth that the above-mentioned norm found in some ought not to be so and not for you too, especially in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS that’s abundantly available to us all irrespective, in Christ Jesus stead.
It’s time to say – oh God, RENEW, REFRESH , REJUVENATE, REKINDLE AND BLOSSOM my days and REVITALISE my life with the needed investment on KNOWLEDGE and EXPOSURE to keep me updated in order to be effectual and efficient, and to navigate in the changing WORLD SYSTEM with the gracious ATTITUDE that will bring about the desired onward and upward trajectory toward an ALTITUDE of graciousnesss and gracefulness for me, in your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“The man that WANDERETH out of the way of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is hard (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.
Know for sure, that, living and sustaining a colourful life that’s genuine and to be in GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS without stress, sweat and depression is not cheap and out there by a MERE wishes; hence the need to INVEST in the needed KNOWLEDGE to CHANGE your worlds for good and to CREATE the needed atmosphere you wants to see, enjoy and live within. For you are the custodian of your own happiness and joy and not another that you want to blame as many have done in ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness.
“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
You are the architects of your worlds – whether it’s good or hurting at the moment. It’s your time to ARISE and GLOW through NEEDED knowledge. Don’t let ignorance, foolishness and stupidity, presumption, illusions and procrastination keep you static, burnt out and worn out – especially in your marital relationship, business enterprise, career or trade and such like needed place that WORTH INVESTING your – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. It’s time to update your worlds for your GRACIOUSNESSS GRACEFULNESS, FRUITFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.
Listen – I love PRAYERS and I enjoy God’s PRESENCE in PRAYERS; but please, please, don’t use PRAYERS to OVERLOOK you ambassadorial place of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in the PRINCIPLE of doing life and living godly by God’s WORD in context. Know for sure that FAITH without WORKS is dead (inactive, inoperative) and it’s standing alone. PRAYERS without corresponding ACTIONS will keep one MOANING and COMPLAINING and BLAMING others through life. Take the scale off your eyes and look up to the stars – you can shine again. The Daystar lives in you for your dawn day to glow – 2 Peter 1:19; Proverbs 4:18.
GIVE YOUR CURRENT LIFE A MEANING – INVEST IN KNOWLEDGE – YOU WORTH A HEALTHIER LIVING – BUT FIRSTLY IN MINDS AND THOUGHTS – AND EVERY OTHERS THINGS WILL FALL IN PLACE.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
