In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God John 1:1
The whole world once existed as a thought. A thought is what
we think; thoughts are ideas. Frequently the word of God clashes with the
normal knowledge. God’s word created everything and has no dispute about its
authority because the word itself is Christ. But while the carnal knowledge
(knowledge of arts, medicine, rocket, etc.) has not been named as a person, it
has a strong place in our lives.
Ahitophel’s counsel was likened to oracles of God, it was
very predictive, almost 100%. Look around you, this knowledge of man has built
houses, cars, established worldwide organizations. Surely we can’t throw
something like that away. The world pays millions to have it, and those who possess
it and leverage it well are the better persons in our generation.
Can the WORD do what the carnal knowledge does? The word
created the world and everything in it including carnal knowledge.
So what is their place? The WORD is the foreman that uses
the laborers (earthly knowledge) to work to achieve its projects. When Christ
who is the WORD lives in you, he uses your knowledge; he takes what is in you
as in Adam’s body – using his rib – to create.
Can a person use the bible which is the WORD to create a
Rocket? Yes, the Spirit of God will have to give that person all the ‘rocket
science’. But not everybody has the spiritual capacity to rise to that level.
And the easiest way God the WORD uses is what is already in us (what we learned
at school and apprenticeship).
What you harvest is based on the kind of knowledge you have
in you. Frequently, a non-believer becomes born again and just one miracle and
he surpasses the ‘methuselah’s’ in the Church. The Lord uses what is in you.
With some people the knowledge in them is only 10 talents
while others, it is only two; the formula for multiplication is this, to him
that has more, more will be given and if you have less , less will be given.
This principle applies to the newly born and the matured believers without
favoritism.
One thing about the earthly knowledge is that it cannot have
a purpose by itself except in some few instances, this is why there are non-believers
who have achieved a lot with earthly knowledge. But in most cases it lies there
without purpose; it is actually a resource like gold, diamond and etc.
Therefore, the graduate with Christ idles his time away without creating
anything. But when the WORD is introduced into the equation, everything begins
to fall into place and the creative process starts to take place.
How do you become a highest achiever? It is by having more
and the best of earthly knowledge. If you are a business person learn the
latest technique about business related topics. Even being a charter is better
because you are the top of your profession. If you are an economist, be a
chartered economist. Then go to the foreman – the WORD – and let him instruct
you to work! You will be amazed what you will do!
The WORD will not perform by itself alone. The WORD always
works with the earthly knowledge. Those who focus on only the WORD except they
have the highest spiritual stamina, they become under achievers or, it takes a
long time before they achieve something small. This is why all our spiritual
leaders are ‘learners’. Though they graduate from university they still learn
different things in addition to their bible.
The earthly knowledge is not evil, God created it. Of course there is
evil knowledge and that is not the subject of this discourse.
