“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”         

Heb 12:22 – 24 (KJV)

Therefore, knowledge becomes the principal thing for every believer, by knowledge he will excel and achieve all that he needs to achieve in his life as a believer. Not just knowledge but in particular that knowledge which is rooted in the word of Christ and it is by this kind of knowledge that faith is produced. So by knowledge which is faith the believer can be able to attend to the highest echelon of his life. Therefore, the modus operand of the life of the believer is pivoted in faith anchored on the word of God. A typified life of a believer is all about faith because without faith the life of the believer is baseless. The bible in the book of Habakkuk says and I quote “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” (Hab 2:4). This verse explains the manner a righteous man (believer) should run and operate his life, and it says it by faith. Faith is the ability to access whatever the grace of God has provided for us, that is to say that the strength, power and authority of what is deposited in us can only be accessed by faith. Apostle Paul puts it better this way “By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Rom 5:2).

The fact remains that God is a God of big heart and therefore there is nothing he has offered to mankind that can be found in a limited supply. It is important to accept the fact that no one coerced or appeased God before He made provision of the basic necessities that man makes use of on this earth. Before creating man, He saw what man would be in need of and made them availablebeforehand.  Patently, one can confidently say that there is nothing that man is in need of that is in short supply because God has made them available. However,inability of man to discover and take what God has made available for him to use should not be blamed on God rather on man. I can aptly say that while creating the earth and everything in it, He never created something called electricity but the truth is that in His foreknowledge He knew that man will need electricity and therefore He created materials and substances that can be used for creating electricity.

The same goes to any technological product man has come up with, they are just an indirect creation of God, because the raw materials are sourced from the already made product of God.So God has provided man with everything that he needs to survive in this planet earth. For this reason, no one can say or come up with some kind of innuendos that God would have done this or that this way or that way because there is no mistake or imperfection in whatever He has done. Therefore, whatever God has created is good and always meets the requirement or purpose for which is being created. And I say it again inasmuch as God is concerned there is nothing needed for man’s service and upkeep on this earth that is missing.

The delays we are having in the manifestation of these by-products so to say is not from God but from man who has not taking the right step to unfold the treasures imbedded in the basic provisions of God to man. Now, the point still comes back to knowledge, whatever the level of knowledge man has concerning anything God has provided to him is the extent to which he can make use of that thing until his knowledge of it increases. Meanwhile, if there are still things or benefits embedded in that particular thing and due to man’s limitation in knowledge such benefits eludes him, no one should suggest that God has not provided. The shortcoming is man’s making and not God’s because God has beforehand provided. Try and get my books ‘Man’ and ‘The earth is from nothing’ on Amazon.com, I wrote extensive exposé on these issues in them.

What is obtainable in the physical earthly realm is also obtainable in the spiritual realm even more, if not somebody is going to have an otiose adventure, whereas he would have made meaningful things out. So as God has made everything available for man on the physical plain so also He has made available all man’s spiritual needs completely in Christ. Therefore, in the knowledge of Christ every spiritual need of man has been met and outside the knowledge of Christ man is spiritually bankrupted. The determinant here in harnessing and meeting the spiritual needs depends on how much the man in Christ have understood Christ, so the less he understands the less he enjoys or meet his spiritual needs and the much he understands the much he enjoys or meet his spiritual needs.
