KNOWLEDGE DELIVERS - Tuesday December 5th 2017
Memorise:
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy
getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7
2:46 Then
the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and
commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
2:47 The
king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is
a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing
thou couldest reveal this secret.
2:48 Then
the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and
made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the
governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
2:49 Then
Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in
the gate of the king.
MESSAGE:
The Scriptures declare that wisdom is a major asset we must acquire (Proverbs 4:7).
To get wisdom, you have to first lay its foundation stones with
knowledge. What you know can determine your position in life. It was
what Joseph knew, together with the ability to interpret dreams, that
God used to move him from prison to the throne (Genesis 41:1-44).
In other words, the stop-gap between you and your place of destiny is
knowledge. Can you truthfully say that you know enough to get you to
your place of destiny? If your answer is in the negative, then start
acquiring knowledge today.
In many corporate organizations, preference
is given to those who have acquired more knowledge than others. open heavens 4 December 2017 This
is why there is a tendency to select employees with higher degree for
higher positions in these organizations. So don’t just remain stagnant
in knowledge, acquire more of it! Enroll for higher degrees and relevant
online or offline training programmes to position yourself for a more
successful career ahead of time. What you know can promote you and bring
you before kings.
Furthermore, what you know can deliver you from death. No wonder the Lord in Hosea 4:6a, said:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:”
Key Point:
If you do not yet have a degree and you are less than 60 years, consider enrolling for one.

Hymn 1
MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE
Verse 1:
My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine;
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away.
O let me from this day
Be wholly thine!
Verse 2:
May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
Verse 3:
While life’s dark maze I tread
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
Verse 4:
When life’s swift race is run,
Death’s cold work almost done,
Be near to me.
Blest Savior, then, in love
Fear and distrust remove.
O bear me safe above,
Redeemed and free!
