‘Wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge
increaseth strength’ (Proverbs 24:5).
As someone once said, “All you can do is all you can do.” You
can’t do more than you
can do. Some people have the ability to run a business that
handles money in multiplied millions. Some others can run businesses that
handle hundreds of thousands, while some can only handle a few thousands. Even
if you gave the latter group millions of dollars to manage, they wouldn’t be
able to do much with it, because they’re not graced to handle that much.
In the areas of leadership also, some people can only run their
own biological families successfully; outside of that, they can’t lead anyone
else. Some can lead a whole city, or even a whole nation; it all depends on the
ability that God gives you. However, when He wants to upgrade your life,
increase your sphere of influence and the responsibility that He’s given to
you, He increases your ability. James 4:6 says “But he giveth more grace….” If you desire more grace or ability today, God is more than
willing to increase it. When God increases your ability, you’ll suddenly
discover that you’re able to do more than you used to do; you’ll become more efficient.
With the same efforts as before, you’ll be able to produce more results!
Proverbs 24:5 tells us that a man of knowledge increases ability. Thus, with
knowledge, you’ll multiply your abilities; with knowledge you discover that
there’s so much more you can do.
As you study the Scriptures and increase in knowledge, you’re
automatically multiplying your abilities to do more, in whatever field, as you
may desire. The Hebrew word translated “strength” in the opening verse is “kôach” which also means “ability” or “power.” It’s the same Hebrew
word translated “power” in Isaiah 40:29: “He
giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”
The Lord can do this for you today, if you desire
it of Him.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for the knowledge of your Word
in my spirit, causing me to be more effective in the works of righteousness. I’m
energized to do things beyond the ordinary. I recognize the working of that
power and take advantage of it in accomplishing
everything I need to do, to the praise and glory of your
Name, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
