About Becoming Whom & What You Believe
MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!
WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!
God will only answer to a PURPOSEFUL demand – His answering ensures His POWER and GRACE to enable one to FUNCTION and to BECOME – in Christ Jesus stead.
“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not 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 unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may KNOW what is the HOPE of his calling, and what the RICHES of the glory of his INHERITANCE in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.
God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.
“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.
The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.
And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.
PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.
“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH (RIGHT TO THE GRACE TO BECOME) unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should BE with him, and that he might SEND (MISSION) them forth to PREACH (PURPOSE), 15 and to have POWER (ENABLING TO FUNCTION) to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.
And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE – ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channelled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavour to function and become.
You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.
So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.
It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life, and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).
Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfilment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.
Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.
So, PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

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 utilises and redeem the time and make judgement of a context irrespective, without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.
“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, 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.

Don’t be fooled anymore. Ignorance is destructive, cancerous and killing. Knowledge delivers and emancipates. Understanding gives direction and drive.

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it”.

YOU NEED TO ENQUIRE WISELY WHILE DOING LIFE: KNOWING IT’S SCRIPTURALLY UNWISE TO SAY – YESTERDAY IS BETTER THAN TODAY!
“Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.
It’s Scripturally WISE to say that BETTER is TODAY Than BEFORE – That’s Wisdom in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s Scripturally UNWISE to say YESTERDAY is BETTER than TODAY and probably TOMORROW.
“SAY NOT thou, What is the CAUSE that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:10
One great error of errors, it’s when you pray or have prayed for an expectation of God to come to fruition and you go contradicting your expectations – by allowing yourself to be RULED afterwards by what your SENSES [see, hear, smell, taste, feel/touch] or by what the CIRCUMSTANCES around present before you; and that’s when you are not being RULED and EARNESTLY garrison by what you wants to see happen in the LIGHT of God’s WORD, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. You need to know for sure and certainly, that between WHEN YOU PRAY to God and an ANSWER is come to fruition, your SENSE of focus in the WORD of GRACE and FAITH is very important. Let the gracious WORDS proceeds out of your mouth in FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen
“And all bare HIM (JESUS) witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.
“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.
“Thou art SNARED with the WORDS OF THY MOUTH, thou art TAKEN with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2.
As long as you are focusing and affirming in statements of what you are SENSING and or by the CIRCUMSTANCES before you PRAYED, you can NEVER have what you wants from Father God in Christ. Simply for the truth that a double minded person can’t receive anything from God.
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For LET NOT that man think that he shall RECEIVE any thing of the Lord. 8 A DOUBLE MINDED man is UNSTABLE in all his ways” James 1:2-8.
And when you stay ASSURED, STEADFAST and in CONFIDENCE by the WORD of GRACE and FAITH, focusing on what you WANTS to see of God, and not ruled and governed by what you are sensing, know for a certainty, that, there’s no force known and unknown that will be able to stop your request from not coming to fruition and in reality in your God as you have PRAYED. For the ministering spirit, the angelic hosts will perfectly deliver your God GIVEN goods into your hands when they are ASSURED of you acting by the word of God. For they only harkens to the voice of God’s WORD.
“For SURELY there is AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall NOT be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18.
“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO His commandments, HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.
“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to MINISTER for them who shall be HEIRS of salvation?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.
And on the contrary, what happens when you go thinking and believing that your FORMER days are BETTER than your TODAY and in some cases that your future will be in delusion, you keep at bay the working of God’s WORD on your behalf. Such acts of thinking makes one unwise in receiving anything from God.
When one begin to say that their today is worst than their before you are not giving the heavens the opportunity to interfere in solving your earthly matters. Hence such attitude is considered an UNWISE reasoning in the kingdom operations to receive from God. For your attitude will unveil your altitudes in gratitude. You need to know full well that God is RICH to all who calls upon Him and that stays in steadfastness by FAITH on His WORD irrespective of the “IF” and “BUT” about them.
“For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall NOT be ASHAMED. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the SAME Lord over all is RICH unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.
“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.
YOUR FOCUS AND YOUR WORDS ARE THE SEED THAT DEFINES YOUR FAITH IN GRACE FOR YOUR NOW, TODAY AND TOMORROW.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Surely OPPRESSION maketh a WISE man mad; and a GIFT (BRIBE) destroyeth (CORRUPTS) the (GOOD JUDGEMENT OF THE) HEART. 8 BETTER is the END of a thing than the BEGINNING thereof: and the patient in spirit is BETTER than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for ANGER resteth in the BOSOM of fools. 10 SAY NOT thou, What is the cause that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:7-10 Emphasis Mine.
“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.
“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
“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.
“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING according to HIS WILL, he HEARETH us: 15 and if we KNOW that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, we KNOW that we have the PETITIONS that we DESIRED of him” 1 John 5:14-15.
“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED)” Hebrews 10:23.
“Seeing then that we have a GREAT high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING). 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!
“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through HIM that LOVED us” Romans 8:37
IT’S TIME TO APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE THE NEEDED ENABLING OF WHO YOU ARE AS MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS.
One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was and is, to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVE and GIVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.
And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVED to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us to stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.
There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?
When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING, and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people know that what God has given them, only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY.
In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive and accept it with thanks. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately, a continuous attitude of ASKING for the same, is what most Believers have made their acts in Prayers, even in their Fasting galore to measure spirituality; and instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS they are ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a hearts of GRATITUDE as the ATTITUDE in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.
Most times Believers are occupied with programs that’s more or else attached with religious obligations, traditions/customs of men, oblations and bye-laws dogmas, and such like; and these in most cases had kept us in a particular routine and settings with no substance that can do us any good in Christ Jesus stead. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS and UNSCRIPTURAL. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY, COMPLETELY and live same time in MORE THAN CONQUERORS in our REDEMPTION.
Therefore, it’s your time to express in order to enact and authenticate your FAITH with the heartfelt attitude of RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING, which the principle core to your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ as stated:
** POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).
** RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).
** WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc).
** STRENGTH (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).
** HONOUR (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
** GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).
** BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Priverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).
I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.
“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.
“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11.

WISDOM – KNOWLEDGE APPLIED – IS THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE: THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL (PASSION), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING LIFE PURPOSE!
Wisdom is profitable to direct when knowledge, which is a consequence of information is rightly applied in the understanding of the context in question. Hence, I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header, the content and the context as you read along. For 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 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.
LET US CONSIDER THE CONTEXT OF – PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSPECTIVES:
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).
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 foolishness. 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 foolishness 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).
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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have COMPASSION on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way” Matthew 15:32 (Mark 8:2).
“. . . 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had COMPASSION on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him . . .” Matthew 18:21-35.
“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE in my word, then are ye my DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32.
“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.

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!
Total GOSPEL ensures total REDEMPTION that transforms the total man: spirit, soul and body. Anything contrary is short of the Gospel message in REDEMPTION. Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:8.
Know for sure in life that human government and governance comes and go. Acclaimed Human heroes, icons and idols comes and go. It’s ONLY in Christ Jesus, therein is true and genuine FREEDOM that endures and ensures for ALL life time – the life we have now and the life to come. Therefore, you can bank on your well-being wholeness and completeness, in Christ Jesus stead.
Jesus provides total Redemption by the total Gospel; and Total Gospel emancipates and delivers to the wholeness of our being: SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY. Anything less is fallacy, deception, counterfeit, perversion and self-made failure.
Jesus wants you also to increase in grace, wisdom and speed as He did in humanity under Father God, as in this SCRIPTURAL contex:
“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.
** SPIRITUALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with God
** SOCIALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with people in human relationship
** PHYSICALLY (Stature) – He was and He’s in great health and strenght.
** MENTALLY – He was and He’s sound in wisdom to profit one in doing life and to ease godly living in every phase of our being – Economically, Intelligently, Psychologically and such like.
Know for sure, true and certainly, Jesus Christ could live above only in humanity for our example and learning, as indicative of possibilities in the scriptural writs but not limited to – Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 2:21.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.
“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.
“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a discerner of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

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 for not KNOWING – it’s 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, 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 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, certainly such a person in that journey, will arrive there and live up to the demands to sustain it – and the likely challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter will become irrelevant too.
“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 life.
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. 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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 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 7:11-12.
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.
“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.
“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not 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 unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.
