RELEASING THE SUPERNATURAL

Suddenly, the lights began to dim and the appliances began to falter. Bright light around the neighbourhood indicated that something was the matter with the lighting system in the house. A beautiful and cosy evening was about to be turned sour by looming darkness. Ignorant guesses and suggestions flew from lip to lip. No one was knowledgeable enough about electricity to proffer actual solutions. The ugliness of darkness became more threatening. Something had to be done.An electrician was called in to take a look at the lighting system. After a little fiddling with some wires, he gave a smile of optimism. The problem had been identified. There had been some leakage along the line due to a faulty connection. In no time, he was through and light was back in full glow.This is a graphic illustration of the power of knowledge and frustrations of ignorance.  Knowledge is priceless, nothing can compare to it. With all my position, experience, title and what have you, in the absence of knowledge, darkness prevailed. The young man who eventually fixed the light did not have all my other credentials but he had knowledge. He had an understanding of the workings of electricity.Certainly, the absence of light from my house was not the fault of the agency responsible for the distribution of electricity. There was full current in the system to give light to all the appliances, but until knowledge came, we were helpless. Knowledge is the key to freedom. It turns frustration into fulfillment, and sweat into sweet. Nothing approximates the power of knowledge. It is the key to dominion. Jesus put so much premium on it during His earthly ministry. At a point, He indicated the lawyers for taking away the key of knowledge.Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.Luke 11:52
