THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE

Proverbs 24:5 (KJV) 5 A wise man is strong;
yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

Power is not a function of strength, it is a function of wisdom.

Proverbs 11:9 (KJV) An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

Knowledge guarantees deliverance. It is the key to deliverance.

It is one thing to be rescued; it is another thing to be delivered!

A man who has been rescued needs the knowledge to ensure his deliverance. Only you can deliver yourself and it will take knowledge. It is that which is resident inside of you that gives you dominion not what you know.

2 Peter 1:2-3 (KJV) Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Grace (The help of God) is multiplied through knowledge; peace is also generated through knowledge.

When knowledge sits on your inside, you command dominion over situations. When knowledge is giving expression, it translates to power.

This knowledge is not head knowledge or mental assent but something that is sat on your inside controlling your, thought, feelings, actions etc.

It is knowledge that differentiates a thriving Christian from a failing Christian.

TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE

1) Informal knowledge: this is knowledge that you are born with.

2) Formal Knowledge: This is intellectual knowledge acquired because you got formal education (via school or training). It boosts your brain and fattens your mind.

3) Satanic Knowledge: occultism, necromancy, spiritism, engagement in witchcraft practices and magic. God frowns at such.

4) Divine/Godly Knowledge: this is the knowledge of God, revelational knowledge; this comes by visions and dreams.

ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE

1) Through the eyes and ears; you don’t develop feelings until you have seen something or heard something. When you are surrounded by people who feed your ears with right words and inspiration, you will naturally increase in knowledge and power.

2) Through the mind. Proverbs 23:7a (KJV) For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: whatever is settled in a man’s heart is that which he is able to do with ease. The mind is the seat of our emotions, intellect and of our willpower. A man who is emotionally weak is most vulnerable.
