WISDOM – KNOWLEDGE APPLIED – IS THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE

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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“. . . 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.
