Knowledge Is Not Enough!

-
There is time for every thing under the sun and this too implies to the issue of knowledge. Love and relationship will never find balance if knowledge is absent but the truth is this; KNOWLEDGE IS NOT ENOUGH. I have seen people who had so much knowledge yet failed in the same area of what they knew. Knowledge has its own diversities and all of them can be available but not needed. Don’t be too conscious of the desire to gain knowledge so much that you begin to loose, the consciousness of who you are in Christ. There are limits to the kind of knowledge we expose ourselves to because our identity is specific in nature.

Wrong knowledge is even more dangerous that ignorance and half knowledge are more frustrating than ignorance. In life, love, and relationship, you must understand that there is wrong knowledge about relationship and there is a right knowledge about relationships. The wrong and the right knowledge look appealing to the eyes and the intellectual capacity. What is the right knowledge? The right knowledge is the Truth (God’s perspective) about your life, and relationship. You can only get this kind of knowledge from the Word of God and from your personal relationship with the Lord.

It’s okay that you know the details about your purpose, vision, values, priority, and what God created you to do. The really question now is, do you really understand any of these things you know? It’s okay that you know that you love this person but do you really understand what you love about this person? It’s okay that you know you have feelings and interest in this person but do you really understand this feelings and interest? These are questions you need to answer you self.

Proverbs 4:7 revealed to us that gaining understanding will be costly but the scripture still insisted that we get understanding. In my own words; GET UNDERSTANDING. Theological knowledge will not take you far. Ideas alone will not help you. It is time for you to gain understanding about your life, about you relationship and about where God is taking you to in life. Don’t live your life in confusion.

Knowledge is not enough; clarity is needed. You must be able to understand the specification and pattern that are attached to the things the Lord has told you about you and your future. You must have the clarity about the way the Lord wants you to date and operate in your relationship. You must live your life according to PATTERN. This PATTERN must be in the understanding of the knowledge you have about God’s plan for you. You must be ready to date according to the PATTERN of Gods operation in your life.

I know you love this man/lady but you must understand how this person has being designed to be loved. You must understand how God has wired you to be loved. You must understand how God has designed you to function. You need to understand love and relationship from his/her point of view. You need to understand love and relationship from God’s perspective concerning your life. Don’t just walk in knowledge; you must also walk in the understanding of what you know from the Lord.

Knowledge is all about the “what” but without the understanding “how,” you will continuously live in frustration. Many youths break up in relationship because they don’t know how to love the other person according to how God wired them to be loved. There is a difference between you loving some one and the other person feeling love by you. It’s not about how sincere you are, it’s not how truthful you are, and it’s not how many sacrifices you’ve made. It’s about you doing all these not just in knowledge alone but in understanding. It’ about loving some one with the understanding of who you are in Christ. It’s about loving some one with the understanding you have about this person. It’s about giving with the right understanding and for the right reason. 

Knowledge is in you knowing the right person to love but understanding is in you having the clarity about how to love this person. Understanding is FREEDOM, freedom to see things from other people’s point of view and still feel secure. Freedom is in you making other people to see your point of view without you forcing them or imposing your will on them.

Knowledge is not enough; GET UNDERSTANDING.

Remember this; John 15:5 and Matthew 11:28-29.

There is still HOPE for you in Christ Jesus.

Watch out for my post "Desire Is Not Enough."

Thanks.

Yours Sincerely

The 4 Principle of LOVE

-
Friendship, Relationship, Marriage and fatherhood have both taught me a lot about the importance building great relationships, and what it truly means to establish ones that thrive rather than run dry and fade away. I want my family to create meaningful relationships with people that will stand the test of time, not crumble during times of pain and uncertainty. Throughout the Bible, we see Jesus cultivating relationships with all different types of people from all different types of backgrounds. He did this by doing four key things: listening well, loving well, serving well and forgiving well. Jesus is the ultimate example of a great relationship maker, and I think applying these four keys will help you establish long-lasting connections. 1. Listen Well Anyone who has been married for any amount of time will tell you that there is a big difference between hearing someone and listening to them. And even though I’ve been at fault for this more times than I’d love to admit, the d

The Transformative Power of Love: Embracing God's Kingdom CultureLove

-
It's a word that holds immense power and significance in our lives. Often, when we think of love, our minds immediately gravitate towards romantic relationships. While romantic love is undoubtedly beautiful and meaningful, it's essential to recognize that love extends far beyond the confines of dating or marriage. Love, in its truest form, is a culture—a way of life that reflects the very heart of God's kingdom. At its core, love is selfless and considerate in nature. It's about putting the needs of others above our own, extending kindness, compassion, and grace in every interaction. Love is not just a fleeting emotion; it's a deliberate choice—a commitment to treating every person with dignity, respect, and empathy. In the hustle and bustle of our daily routines, it can be easy to lose sight of the importance of love. We become consumed by our own agendas, rushing from one task to the next, often neglecting the feelings and needs of those around us. However, love c

TRANSFER AGGRESSION IN RELATIONSHIP

-
Transfer aggression in a relationship refers to the phenomenon where an individual redirects their anger or frustration from one source onto their partner or another person in the relationship. This behavior can have several future effects on the dynamics and well-being of the relationship. 1. Communication Breakdown:    Transfer aggression often leads to a breakdown in communication. When one partner consistently channels their negative emotions onto the other, it creates a hostile environment, hindering open and honest communication. Over time, this can erode the foundation of trust and understanding within the relationship. 2. Resentment and Emotional Distance:   Constantly being the target of transferred aggression can foster resentment in the victimized partner. This resentment may lead to emotional distance as the affected individual withdraws to protect themselves from the ongoing negativity. This emotional distance can strain the intimacy and connection between partners. 3. Imp
