knowledge. It is the knowledge of Christ that will add Value to your calling and election.
Visions amount to nothing but frustrations, outside knowledge. A sound knowledge of the Word is what Will add colour to your Vision.
Iesus spent three and half years pumping the knowledge of the truth into His disciples. Consequently, after His departure, they exploded!
Iesus did not only call these men, but equally raised them, before He released them. After they were let go, they began to fly on the wings of the eagle.
Friends, knowledge adds colour, and adds a form of comeliness to any man, any day!
Many are genuinely called, but their calling holds no attraction, because they don’t possess the relevant know1edge to make it attractive. Look at what Psalm
49:20 says:
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
And Psalm 82:5 adds:
They know not, neither will they understand; they
walk on in darknessrall the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Supposing you are to write a geography examinatio!’
tomorrow, and you preoccupy yourself reading your history notes and textbooks the day before? Even if you know the topics that you’re likely to be tested on, do you by studying history have the relevant facts with which to pass a geography examination?

Many believers might be rejoicing all over the place, that they can quote one or two scriptures, and do a lot of confessions, but this is not enough.
The glory of any life or ministry will only show when it has access to real knowledge.
It is time to seek to expand our knowledge base, so we can expand our success rate. It takes knowledge to make any calling a reality.
Hea, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant.z or deaf, as my messenger that I sent:2 who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?
Seeing many things, but thou observest not,opening the ears, but be heareth not. '
The LORD is’ well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all
of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Isaiah 42:18-22
When you are spiritually blind and deaf you are as good as living in holes. The things that are yours are taken away from you unknowingly, and you can’t picture What next step to take, you are only full of guesses.
You become a prey instead of a possessor, a victim instead of a victor. ’
You may even be sincere, but sincerely wrong! Being . sincere on its own is not enough, you must get to know what God is saying.
But, your hour of deliverance has come!
Ministry is a big burden to many, and life a continuous cycle of struggles for many others, because they are off track. '

My people perish ”, says the Lord, ”(not because the
devil is so strong and powerful, but) for lack a! knowledge" (Hos. 4:6).
All explanations for failure are of the devil. You were not created to fail. Stop attributing your problem to where you are located! You have no problem with location.
It’s time to locate and identify with the plan and purpose of God for your life.
Every act produces on the platform of knowledge. Whatever you do just because you have seen others
doing it, may not produce for you.

Have you not heard?
I Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Ephesians 1:3
. And in 2 Peter 1:3, we also learnt that He has given us all that pertain to life and godliness, “through the knowledge of him. . . ”, not just the acts.
There are many things you do, they are right, yes, but because you don’t really have the knowledge of them, they don’t produce!
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
Proverbs 24:14
I see great deliverances coming your way!
Having a working knowledge of a subject is the only way to take personal delivery of your inheritance. T hat’s what we see in Acts 20:32;
...I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance amongall them which are sanctified.
God has your inheritance packaged in the Word. A working knowledge of it is the only way to collect it.
I see your eyes opened, and your inheritance come your way!
Friends, knowledge determines your tomorrow, because what becomes of you tomorrow is a result of what you see today. God said to Abraham:
Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward
Genesis 13:14
Whatever you see in His Word is what you will possess. So it’s possible to be a Christian and be sickly! It’s possible to be a Christian and yet be poor or be a failure! That you were called like Abraham is not enough. You must see like Abraham saw, otherwise 'you cannot have what Abraham had. God is no respecter of persons.
It's time being to behold wondrus things out of his law -his word (ps.119:18).

May you see too! In Jesus precious name! Friends, knowledge turns me on! It is sweet!
