2Peter 1:5-8

Dear Friend,

It is the virtues that makes the knowledge we have of Jesus effective and productive. So if you have so much knowledge of Jesus and lack certain virtues, it makes the knowledge you have unable to produce results. From scripture we find out that Jesus is not really interested in how much we have, He is rather interested in how much we have produced with what we have. He's interested in the faithfulness of getting results.

𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞.

𝑵𝒐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆.The person who determines if it will be a waste or not is the man who receives it. It is absolutely foolish to receive a knowledge of Jesus and let it waste.

How much effort have we put into seeing that the little knowledge of Jesus that we have is not a waste?

It is sincerely not about getting more, it is more about making use of the little you have. It is just like trying to find big words to speak English, when you can put in the little ones rightly in a sentence. So I will ask us again; what have we done with the little knowledge of Jesus that we have?

God will give you more if you rightly make use of the little you have.

The knowledge of Jesus is both effective and productive. If the knowledge doesn't have an effect on you, then it cannot be productive in your hands. So if the knowledge does not produce results, do not question the knowledge, question the man with the knowledge.

We'll talk about the virtues and how to cultivate them in today's Podcast.

Shalom
