Pursue Knowledge or Remain Stagnant
Knowledge is the state of
awareness or understanding gained from experience or study or having a
specific information about something. This means that someone has the
resourcefulness to obtain and criticize useful and informative
information in order to become well informed and make intelligent
decisions based on his understanding and awareness of everyday
situations. Does having knowledge make someone powerful? Well, power is
the ability or capacity to act or perform effectively. Without
knowledge, how can this ability to perform effectively be possible? It
cannot indeed. This shows that knowledge is the vital tool to gaining
power.
Knowledge is an
inherent part of living and growth. Every creature on earth has
knowledge whether it is instinctive or developed. Knowledge is indeed
power, the more one knows, the more one will be able to advance in life
and will be able to control events/circumstances around him or her.
Knowledge liberates, but nowadays its shocking how some people are
mentally lazy both intellectually and spiritually and as such they live
their lives at the mercy of those who are more knowledgeable because
they are ignorant or simply have refused to learn. Ignorance is the
absence of knowledge and it leads to destruction and setbacks.
Regrettably, some Christians fall prey to some petty challenges because
they have refused to subject themselves to thorough study to get
knowledge as to liberate themselves. Only the truth that comes through
right knowledge can set one free. John 8:32.
The unfortunate part
is that some Christians blame the devil for almost all their
misfortune (note that the devil has his wicked part). But a cursory look
at most human challenges are basically based on lack of knowledge. No
wonder the scripture says that God's people perish for lack of
knowledge. Hosea 4:6
I have also carefully observed and
discovered that most people who we believe are successful are problem
solvers. And you cannot become a problem solver when you don't have
knowledge. Unless you want to spend your life in a child-like state of
inability, you will naturally pursue at least some amount of knowledge
i.e developing yourself by acquiring skills to equip yourself. The good
news is this : the knowledge you need most times to overcome the issues
of life and excel is in your arsenal (your brain) waiting to be
harnessed and used effectively to turn the world into a beautiful place.
Remember, the knowledge you need is within reach. It's inside a book or
CD near you. Acquire knowledge today and change your life.
