“Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing form a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.” Galatians 4:1-2 God is calling all believers to graduate from the BA level and move into the level of M.Sc! In case you’re wondering what I’m saying, I don’t mean B.A, Bachelor of Arts, nor do I mean M.Sc, Masters of Science, rather what I mean is B.A for Born Again and M.Sc for Master of Situations and Circumstances. In the academic world, the way you move from BA to M.Sc is by increase in depth of knowledge; the same thing applies in the spiritual world. The knowledge in this case, is known as Revelation knowledge. When you obtained your first degree and proceeded to get your second degree, you had to undergo deeper and more advanced learning. What you used to know as an undergraduate became clearer and brighter as you progressed in your graduate studies. You received deeper insight into what you already knew and even became a specialist in a particular area. At the undergraduate level you had general knowledge of things and you operated by guesses and ‘trial and error’ methods, but now as a Masters holder you have specific knowledge, you know exactly how things work. General knowledge shows you what is available, specific knowledge takes you deeper and shows you how to access what is available.

“For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? Let us stand together: who is mine adversary? Let him come near to me.” Isaiah 50:7-8 There are times when a person faces a challenge that seems insurmountable. The challenge stares him in the face and refuses to bulge. After trying fruitlessly to overcome by their wisdom gained from many years of experience or by the help of their vast social network, they finally come to the realization that the problem is beyond their control. It could be a financial situation, a mortgage case or an educational challenge. It could even be a terminal disease. At such times, it is really quite easy to lose hope and surrender to the turbulent waves of the situation, or you could turn your eyes to the Lord.
