“Then you will live lives worthy of the Master, and so please God in every way. Your lives will be fruitful in every good action, and your characters will grow through a fuller knowledge of God” Col. 1:10 (20cNT).
Foundation Text: 1 Tim. 3:1-7
KNOWLEDGEABLE:
Ever wondered why God had to allow 13 years to elapse before allowing David to sit on the throne after he was anointed king of Israel? Do you think that God allowing Joseph to go through all he went through before bringing his dream to reality was to make up a story for a Religious folklore? Lest I forget, do you remember that Moses had to spend 40 years in the palace to be prepared for his life assignment? The list goes on.
Every assignment God has destined us to carry out has a way to go about it. If God is positioning you to make a change in the Music world, he will have to place you in the Music environment. If you are destined to institute the right governance, God will place you in the political environment. To serve effectively, you must learn, unlearn and re-learn. All these are for you to gain knowledge about your area of service.
Knowledge is power. The more you know, the more enlightened you become. One way to know is by study.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Tim. 2:15 (KJVL).
There is a manual that has been made available to study the way to go about your life assignment; The Word of God. Everyone who ever succeeded in service studied this manual. My mentor always talks about the necessity of studying and acting the script of our lives. I believe this script is embedded in this manual. Jesus took time to study this manual and gained enough knowledge about His assignment in life. That is why He could declare ebulliently his mission in Luke 4:18. David also studied enough to make the declaration in Psalm 40:7-8.
My friend, you need to study this manual to gain enough knowledge on what you need to succeed as God’s servant. An angel may not need to appear to you to tell you about your mission in life like Gideon or a loud voice come from heaven to announce it to you. The script of your life is in the Word of God, and you can only have knowledge of it when you study it.
As you sit down to study the Word of God, your eyes will be opened to see what you need to succeed in the assignment God has given you. Study! Again I say, Study!
If this message blessed you, you are free to share it with anybody or group.
Stay blessed.
