“And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches." - Proverbs 24:4 (KJV)
A story is told of a mechanic who was excellent at repairing one model of a certain vehicle. That model was people’s favourite then and he used to make millions of money from repairing such. But when the vehicle manufacturers upgraded to a new model and made a complete overhaul of everything, he failed to adjust to the same. In the end, he was taken out of the business and he went broke. That was sad, wasn’t it?
The world is changing every day at the fastest rate. The fact that you are a star today, in your field, does not mean you will be one tomorrow. This world is merciless and does not bow down to mediocrity. Hence, the need to constantly upgrade yourself.
You must always acquire new and relevant knowledge if you desire to remain a master in your field. That is what the verse above is instructing us. Your chambers will be filled with all precious and pleasant riches if you go for new knowledge of the time.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You! I will not be lazy in going for new knowledge in my dealings. I will think, study hard and continuously do research in my field. Above all, I will yield myself to the direction and instructions of the Holy Ghost so that I may know what to do at the right time. In the glorious name of Jesus. Amen!
